What It's Called& What it Comes From |
What It Does |
|
Jojoba Seed Oil Jojoba plant |
A natural skin conditioner and moisturizer with anti-oxidant properties, jojoba is a skin superfood that soothes and softens the skin, fights aging and can help heal wounds. Resembling our skin’s natural sebum, jojoba absorbs quickly and is rich in vitamin B, copper and zinc. |
|
Calendula Extract Calendula plant |
Another skin superfood with antioxidant, moisturising, soothing, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, healing and antiseptic properties. Calendula helps hydrate and regenerate dry or damaged skin, supporting a healthy glow. |
|
Candelilla Wax Candelilla plant (a small desert shrub) |
Candelilla wax is an excellent vegan alternative to beeswax. It is a thickening agent, emulsifier and water repellent that smooths and conditions the skin, is easily absorbed and is rich in nutrients. |
|
Sunflower Seed Oil Sunflower plant |
A non-comedogenic, anti-inflammatory carrier oil that’s great for all skin types. High in linoleic acid, oleic acid and Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil soothes the skin while strengthening its natural barrier, improving hydration and reducing inflammation. |
|
Polyglyceryl-3-Polyricinoleate Castor plant |
Often found in chocolates, Polyglyceryl-3-Polyricinoleate is a silky smooth, non-greasy emulsifier that helps water- and oil-based ingredients mix together. |
|
Non-Nano Zinc Oxide Naturally-sourced zinc |
The broadest spectrum UV filter considered by the U.S. FDA to be safe and effective, zinc oxide is also an essential nutrient for human health. With antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, zinc oxide is often used to treat dermatitis, eczema, diaper rash and acne. Zinc oxide blocks UVA and UVB rays, is non-comedogenic, non-irritating and non-allergenic. |
