| Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil | The chemicals in tea tree oil may kill bacteria and fungus, and reduce allergic skin reactions. |
| 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. |
| 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). |

| Persea Gratissima Fruit Oil | Avocados are very high in omega-3 fatty acids, the good kind of fat, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid.

Avocados also have a higher percentage of protein than other fruits. Their sugar levels are also comparatively low. |
