Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A lightweight, clear, odorless, and non-greasy ingredient derived from coconut oil and glycerin.
Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax: A vegetable wax from the leaves of the Brazilian tropical palm. It stabilizes and adds body to products, or keeps stick formulas solid.
Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax: A multifunctional complex of esters from the waxy structure of Candelilla shrub leaves. It increases the residence time of natural emollients on the skin and helps provide a protective, moisture-resistant environment.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil: A modified version of castor oil that results in a solid waxy material. It has unique moisturizing properties as it sits on the skin, preventing water evaporation from the upper layers.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil: Adds shine and is very effective in reducing moisture loss in the skin.
Tocopheryl Acetate: The most commonly used version of pure vitamin E, which helps fight radical damage and promotes skin regeneration to diminish signs of aging. It also provides hydration and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier.
Tocopherol: The most biologically active form of vitamin E. It has antioxidant and cell-protecting properties. It also retains moisture in the skin’s outer layer, is anti-inflammatory, and reduces UV-induced skin damage.
Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate: An antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and prevents signs of photoaging.
Benzyl Alcohol: Prolongs the life of your product, also known as a preservative. It can be found naturally in fruits and teas, but it can also be synthetically prepared.
Glyceryl Ricinoleate: Acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface and delays water loss by forming a protective barrier.
Mica: A mineral powder that enhances the application feel on the skin. It also provides light-reflecting properties, improves adherence to the skin, and acts as an anti-caking agent.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: A moisturizing agent that regenerates and soothes the skin. It protects against external factors (like UV rays or wind) and is rich in antioxidants.
Cetyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol (not drying) that provides softness and a pleasant feel, helps thicken products, and aids in the absorption of water and oil.
