Ingredient Overview

Table 1: Ingredient functions

The Power Of Natural Oils

Natural oils support hydration and comfort, offering a gentle approach to skin nourishment.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil closely resembles natural skin oils and helps balance hydration. It contains vitamins that soothe irritated skin, and research indicates anti inflammatory benefits for conditions such as eczema [1].

Rice Bran Oil

Rice bran oil contains antioxidants including tocopherol and tocotrienol. It supports hydration and elasticity, and studies suggest it may enhance the skin barrier [2].

Persea Gratissima Oil

Avocado oil nourishes deeply and supports healing, which makes it suitable for dry or sensitive skin. It is rich in oleic acid that promotes repair and hydration [3].

Science Behind Cream Stability

Stability supports texture, comfort, and consistency across applications.

Cetearyl Alcohol

Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol that supports emulsification and adds a soft, rich feel. It improves hydration and keeps the cream stable [4].

Polysorbate 80

Polysorbate 80 blends oils and water to create a unified texture. It helps ingredients distribute evenly on the skin and has a well recorded emulsification profile [5].

The Role Of Antioxidants

Antioxidants protect the skin from environmental stress and support repair.

Tocopheryl Acetate

Tocopheryl acetate provides vitamin E in a form that protects against oxidative stress and supports skin integrity. It also maintains product stability [6].

Botanical Wonders

Botanical extracts bring natural comfort and support to the skin.

Lavender Oil

Lavender oil calms the skin and reduces discomfort. Studies highlight its potential for easing irritation because of its soothing properties [7].

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil offers antibacterial and anti inflammatory benefits that support clarity. Guidance supports its use for mild acne [8].

Rosa Canina Oil

Rosa canina oil provides essential fatty acids and antioxidants that support repair and improve tone. Evidence shows benefits for healing processes [9].

Unsung Heroes

Some ingredients work quietly to support safety, texture, and overall performance.

Phenoxyethanol

Phenoxyethanol prevents microbial growth and protects the formula. Its safety in cosmetics is well established [10].

Ethylhexylglycerin

Ethylhexylglycerin enhances preservation and softens the skin, supporting a comfortable feel [11].

Importance Of Emollients

Emollients soften and smooth the skin by reinforcing moisture retention.

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride

This lightweight emollient hydrates without clogging pores and supports a smooth, silky application [13].

Glyceryl Stearate

Glyceryl stearate conditions the skin and enhances hydration. It also contributes to the cream’s smooth consistency [12].
