| Glycerin | Glycerin is what is called a humectant. Glycerin helps maintain the skin’s water balance on an intercellular level. Glycerin in lotions or other skin care products can help prevent or combat dry skin. |
|---|---|
| Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil | Safflower seed oil is used for preventing heart disease, including “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis) and stroke. |
| Stearic acid | Stearic acid is one of many fatty acids that occur naturally in various plants and animal derivatives. It’s found in such products as animal tallow, cocoa butter and vegetable fats. When it’s used in cosmetic products, stearic acid primarily fulfills the role of a thickener or hardener. Stearic acid is the substance that helps your bar of soap retain its shape — just as it does in products such as candles, oil pastels and hard candies. |
| Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine | This ingredient has a wide range of uses, especially with hair care products. It acts as a foaming agent, conditioner, anti-static agent, surfactant and thickener. As a mild surfactant, it gently cleanses the skin/hair and helps deliver other ingredients contained in a product, particularly moisturizing and cleansing ones. It’s mostly used in bath and hair products such as shampoo, body wash, cleanser, hair dye, liquid hand soap, bubble bath, conditioner, exfoliant/scrub and shaving cream. |
| Cetyl alcohol | Cetyl alcohol is used in the cosmetic industry as an opacifier in shampoos, or as an emollient, emulsifier or thickening agent in the manufacture of skin creams and lotions. It is also employed as a lubricant for nuts and bolts, and is the active ingredient in some “liquid pool covers” (forming a surface layer to reduce evaporation and retain heat). |
| Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil | Sweet Almond Oil is commonly used as a skin conditioning agent to lubricate and soften the skin or as a lubricant in hair products to promote shine and manageability. |
| Magnesium oxide (dead sea slat) | Magnesium is a mineral that is present in relatively large amounts in the body. Magnesium is important in more than 300 chemical reactions that keep the body working properly. People get magnesium from their diet, but sometimes magnesium supplements are needed if magnesium levels are too low. Dietary intake of magnesium may be low, particularly among women. |
| Macrocystis pyrifera (sea kelp) extract | Seaweed is also a rich source of iodine, which is a crucial nutrient for the thyroid. A deficiency in iodine leads to goiter, or swelling of the thyroid, and metabolism disruption. Iodine is the main element used to synthesize the thyroid hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. |
| Organic chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract | Soothing agent for skin and hair. |
| Organic camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract | Green tea extract can actually decrease wrinkles and also makes you look younger. |
| Organic simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil | Jojoba is a shrub that is grows in dry regions of northern Mexico and the southwestern US. Jojoba oil and wax are produced from the seeds and used for medicine. |
| Xanthan Gum | Xanthan gum is frequently added to semiliquid cosmetics and lotions. Adding xanthan gum to cosmetic agents allows for a smoother, more even application. Xantham gum can also be found in medications and pills, and has been used alone as a synthetic saliva for people who suffer from dry mouth. |
| Prunus armeniaca (apricot) seed powder | Apricots contain a number of potent antioxidants. We rank the apricot as a good source of both vitamin A (from beta-carotene) and vitamin C. The health benefits associated with each are multiple and well-documented. |
| Stearyl Alcohol | Stearyl Alcohol is a naturaly fatty alcohol derived from stearic acid, coconut oil or vegetable fatty acids |
| Organic aloe barbadensis leaf extract | Aloe seems to be able to speed wound healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around a wound. |
| Glyceryl stearate and peg-100 stearate | Glyceryl Stearate is considered to be extremely beneficial for the human skin because of its moisturizing, conditioning and hydration effects. Glyceryl Stearate is a naturally derived fatty acid that basically functions as a non-ionic pacifier, formulation stabilizer and a thickener, thereby offering smoother and softer looking skin. |
| Zea Mays Kernel Meal | It is also a common alternative to antibiotics when treating a urinary infection resulting from bacteria. Excessive use of antibacterial medications can lead to bacterial resistance to these medications, and complications can arise in children who take pharmaceutical medications. |
| Carica papaya (papaya) fruit extract | The papaya, a previously exotic and rare fruit, is now readily available at most times of the year. |
| Potassium Sorbate | Potassium sorbate’s use as an antimicrobial preservative prevents the growth of mold, bacteria and fungi in cheese, dried meats, baked goods, jellies and syrups. |
| Phenoxyethanol | Phenoxyethanol is chemical preservative which is used in many applications such as cosmetics, vaccines and pharmaceuticals. |
