Ingredients Explained
DISTILLED WATER:
Did you know that water is actually the ingredient that hydrates your skin more than anything else? Oils have many different essential qualities and will seal in the moisture, but it is water that is needed to hydrate the skin.
APPLE SURFACTANT:
Apple Surfactant (foaming agent) is an excellent choice for sensitive skin, baby products, facial products, and other natural skincare products. This surfactant is non-irritating and will not strip skin of natural oils.
APRICOT KERNEL OIL:
Apricot kernel oil is very nourishing, softening, and soothing. It is slowly absorbed, making it a great choice for a cleanser as it won't clog your pores, but instead attracts other elements such as dirt and oil to be washed away.
XYLIANCE:
Did you know that any lotion or cream is a blend of oil and water called an emulsion? In order for oil and water to come together without separating, we need to add an emulsifier, which blend the oil phase and water phase together. Xyliance is an emulsifying wax made of 100% plant origin where the sugar is derived from wheat straw and the fatty alcohols are derived from rapeseed and palm.
ORGANIC COCONUT OIL:
Cold pressed coconut oil is soothing, softening, and smells heavenly! The fatty acids in coconut oil have shown to posses antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties as well as antioxidants which help to fight free radicals, keeping the skin youthful.
VEGETABLE GLYCERIN:
Glycerin is a humectant, which means it attracts water to the skin and binds it there. I choose glycerin that is vegetable derived.
CETYL ALCOHOL NF:
Cetyl Alcohol NF is naturally derived from coconut oil. This fatty alcohol is used to give emulsions more stability, body, and viscosity and enhance the texture of lotions and creams.
OPTIPHEN PLUS:
Did you know that any product containing water needs a preservative? Otherwise, you are left with a product contaminated with mold, yeast, and bacteria (even if you can't see it)! I choose the most natural and decadent ingredients to nourish your skin. Those precious ingredients need to be properly preserved to work their absolute best. Optiphen Plus is a globally approved preservative and is Formaldehyde-free, Paraben-free, Halogen-free, and Non-Isothiazolinone.
VITAMIN E:
Did you know that any product containing oils needs an antioxidant to prevent oxidation? This means the product will go rancid. I choose Vitamin E as an antioxidant because it has nourishing properties and will help protect you kin from damage caused by free radicals.
XANTHAN GUM:
Xanthan gum is a plant-based thickening and stabilizing agent. Technically, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, (a string of multiple sugars). To create xanthan gum, the Xanthomonas campestris (bacteria) is allowed to ferment on a sugar, resulting in a gel that is then dried and milled to create the powder substance that we use to thicken many things from certain foods to skin care products.
