Rice Milk and Ceramides
Rice bran oil provides abundant nutrition to the skin. Plant-oriented ceramide contributes to a deep, 10-layer moisturizing effect and plays a crucial role in strengthening the skin barrier.
Other Beneficial Ingredients
- Water (Aqua): Purified and deionized, serving as the primary solvent.
- Glycerin: A humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin.
- Butylene Glycol (BG): A multi-tasking ingredient that acts as a solvent, penetration enhancer, slip agent, and humectant. It is approved by Ecocert and used in natural products.
- Sunflower Oil: A rich emollient that makes the skin smooth, helps maintain hydration, protects the skin surface, and enhances the damaged or irritated skin barrier. The unrefined version is particularly high in linoleic acid, beneficial for acne-prone skin.
- Shea Butter: Known for its moisturizing and emollient properties, it also regenerates and soothes the skin, protects against external factors, and is rich in antioxidants.
- Dimethicone: A common silicone that provides a silky smooth feel, subtle gloss, and a protective barrier. It can also fill in fine lines and wrinkles, and is used in scar treatments to soften scars and increase elasticity.
- Cetearyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol that provides a soft feel and adds body to creams and lotions, also helping to stabilize oil-water mixes.
- Glyceryl Stearate SE: A vegetable-based emulsifier derived from glycerin and stearic acid, which helps to mix oil and water components. It is readily biodegradable.
- Caprylyl Glycol: A multi-tasking ingredient that provides a soft feel to the skin and works as a preservative enhancer when blended with phenoxyethanol (as in Optiphen).
- Hydroxyethylcellulose: A plant-derived ingredient used as an emulsion stabilizer and thickener.
- Ethylhexylglycerin: A multi-functional ingredient with emollient, moisturizing, and strong antimicrobial properties, which can reduce the need for traditional preservatives.
- Phenoxyethanol: A common preservative used to prevent microbial contamination in cosmetics.
- Fragrance: Added to provide a pleasant scent to the product.
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer: A polymer that thickens liquid formulations into gels.
- Disodium EDTA: A chelating agent that stabilizes the formula by neutralizing metal ions.
- Citric Acid: Used to adjust the pH of the product.
- Limonene: A fragrance ingredient found naturally in citrus peel oils, which can be a penetration enhancer but may also cause allergic reactions upon oxidation.
- Linalool: A common fragrance ingredient found in various plants, which can become allergenic upon oxidation.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E): A potent antioxidant that provides photoprotection.
- Potassium Sorbate: A preservative effective against fungi.
- Phytosphingosine: A lipid naturally found in the skin that possesses antimicrobial and cell-communicating properties, showing promise in treating acne-prone skin.
- Lecithin: A chemically modified version of normal lecithin, contributing to skin conditioning.
- Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract: Contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like rosmarinic acid.
