It is used as an emulsion stabilizer, opacifying agent, and foam boosting surfactant, as well as an aqueous and nonaqueous viscosity-increasing agent. It imparts an emollient feel to the skin and can be used in water-in-oil emulsions, oil-in-water emulsions, and anhydrous formulations.

Copper Gluconate

Copper gluconate detoxifies and purifies skin, drawing excess oils from pores to minimise breakouts and control natural sebum levels.

Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract

Rice Bran Extract is rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin E, which help treat hyperpigmentation, acne, and aging. Rice Bran purifies the skin, smoothes the complexion and reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores. It brightens the complexion and also helps fade dark spots.

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that can be found naturally in green tea, but the commercial ingredient is synthetically produced in a laboratory creating what’s termed a “nature identical” chemical. Specifically, it’s created by treating phenol with ethylene oxide in an alkaline medium which all reacts to form a pH-balanced ingredient. It fights bacteria and fungi in personal care products.

Hexylene Glycol

Hexylene glycol is a small molecular weight surfactant. It is used as a skin moisturizer, and a viscosity decreasing agent. This ingredient is part of our paraben free preservative blend. Not only is it used to preservative a product, but it is used as a solvent and viscosity agent in many skin care products to thin out heavy compositions. Therefore creating a thinner more spreadable product. The FDA has approved Hexylene Glycol and the CIR found it an acceptable solvent in skin care products.
