| Salicylic acid | Salicylic Acid is much used as an antipyretic in fevers, especially those of the septicaemic kind, joint relief and arthritis. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil | The chemicals in tea tree oil may kill bacteria and fungus, and reduce allergic skin reactions. |
| 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). |
| Caprylic/capric triglyceride | Caprylic mainly works as an emollient, dispersing agent and solvent. |
| Cetearyl alcohol | Cetostearyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol or cetylstearyl alcohol is a mixture of fatty alcohols, consisting predominantly of cetyl and stearyl alcohols and is classified as a fatty alcohol. |
| Ceteareth 20 | Ceteareths are made from cetearyl alcohol- a blend of cetyl and stearyl alcohol (natural fatty acids from coconut oil), and ethylene oxide. |
| Organic chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract | Soothing agent for skin and hair. |
| Aniba rosaeodora (rosewood) wood oil | Rosewood oil has a characteristic aroma that’s warm, spicy, woody, fruity, floral, and enlivening. |
| Lavandula Officinalis Essential Oil | The health benefits of Lavandin Essential Oil can be attributed to its properties as an antidepressant, antiseptic, analgesic, cicatrisant, expectorant, nervine, and vulnerary substance. |
| Dimethicone | Dimethicone and related ingredients are used in the formulation of a wide range of cosmetic and personal care products including cosmetic creams and lotions, bath soaps, shampoo and hair care products. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
