1. Hyaluronic Acid: derived from wheat fermentation, this molecule is known for its highly hydrating properties; indeed, it can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water. It provides instant hydration while also maintaining skin moisture over time. The body's production of hyaluronic acid tends to decrease with age, leading to the appearance of the first fine lines on the skin's surface. Daily intake of HA helps offset this decline, reducing the appearance of fine lines and making the skin more supple and toned.
2. Organic Coconut Oil: rich in saturated fatty acids, this oil nourishes and prevents skin dehydration. It leaves a soft touch on the epidermis.
3. Purified Water: serves as a solvent to mix the other ingredients. It has been purified to remove all traces of bacteria.
4. Vegetable Glycerin: derived from rapeseed and sunflower seeds, glycerin captures moisture from the air and provides superficial hydration to the skin.
5. Cetyl Alcohol: derived from coconut, this alcohol thickens the formula to achieve a creamy texture.
6. Cetyl Phosphate: an emulsifier derived from coconut that allows the purified water and organic coconut oil to mix. It prevents the face moisturizer formula from separating over time.
7. Sodium Hydroxide: to avoid any risk of irritation or burning, a cosmetic product must have a pH close to that of the skin. The lye used here makes the face moisturizer less acidic and therefore better tolerated by the skin.
8. Pentylene Glycol: derived from sugar cane, a humectant agent that provides superficial hydration to the skin.
9. O-Cymen-5-Ol: a preservative that prevents the growth of bacteria.
