INGREDIENTS AND BENEFITS

Aqua (Purified Water) - a carrier primarily used as a solvent in cosmetics and personal care products to help dissolve ingredients in preparations. It also forms emulsions in which the oil and water components of the product are combined to create creams and lotions. Lastly, it helps to hydrate skin.

Coco-Caprylate (Coconut ester) - a safe, nontoxic ingredient used as an excellent natural-based emollient that provides smoothness to the skin. It is fast-spreading, non-oily, can penetrate and help repair the skin, and is a natural alternative to light silicones and mineral oils. It is ECOCERT-approved.                                               Kaolin(French clay) - derived from the mineral kaolinite. It draws out impurities and toxins that cause clogged pores, clearing the skin of excess oil, dirt, and pollutants while balancing oil production. Thus, makeup can stay on longer and be water—and transfer-resistant. It hides imperfections and fine lines and will also tone and tighten the skin with long-term use. 

Coco Glucosides/Coconut Alcohol-,l is a mixture of fatty alcohols derived from Coconut Acid which are non-irritating and can be exceptionally beneficial for the skin. A good type of fat, a good ingredient for dry skin, and in small amounts fine for any skin type as they give pleasing texture and help keep ingredients stable in products.

Sodium PCA - a naturally occurring humectant derived from the amino acid proline, which is found in the skin. It is hygroscopic, able to absorb moisture from the air while binding moisture to cells and holding several times its weight in water. Sodium PCA increases the skin's firmness. A high-performance humectant is recommended for delicate and sensitive skin.

Zea Mays (Corn) Starch - It provides a unique powdery-dry, smooth skin after-feel, helps to control immediate and residual shine and oiliness, and reduces perceivable tackiness/​stickiness. Since starch "rolls" float over the skin, there is a better skin smoothness with Zea mays over talc. It offers improved oil and moisture absorbency compared to talc in skin lotion formulations (below 3%). In addition, it helps to exfoliate dead skin cells gently and toxins from the skin.

Lauryl Laurate- A plant-based, low-molecular-weight emollient slip agent that can help bioactive ingredients better integrate with the skin's surface and is considered safe.

Caprylyl Glycol - classified as medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) with potent antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. A humectant that absorbs water from the air or underlying layers of the skin and draws those molecules toward the surface allows the skin to retain moisture and may also help other topical skincare ingredients perform better.
