aqua: Distilled water.
caprylic/capric triglycerides: Powerful antioxidant, bacteriostatic (an agent that causes inhibition of the growth of bacteria without destructuction), soothing, nutritional qualities and increases the effect of sunscreens. Also prevents irritation of the skin caused by glycolic acid.
coco-caprylate/caprate: A lubricant, skin conditioner, anti-microbial emollient. From coconut.
Hexadecyl D-glucoside: Derived from coconut, it is an emollient and moisturizer.
Octadecyl D-glucoside: Derived from coconut, it is an emollient and moisturizer.
Glycerin: A humectant and emollient from plants. It absorbs moisture from the air, and helps keep moisture in creams and other products.
Dihydroxyacetone: The sunless tanner dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is currently the most popular way of gaining a tan-like appearance without sun exposure as it carries less health risks than any of the other available methods. To date, it is the only active ingredient approved by the US Food & Drug Administration for sunless tanning. All effective sunless tanners contain DHA. DHA does not damage skin as it only affects the outermost cells of the epidermis (stratum corneum).
Erythrulose: Commonly used synergistically with DHA to extend the life of a sunless tan. It reacts on the surface of the skin. It’s source is from red raspberries.
Safflower Seed Oil: Skin emollient.
Organic Aloe Vera: Hydrating, softening, healing emollient with anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Allantoin: Healing, soothing, and believed to aid in the healing of damaged skin by stimulating new tissue growth. Derived from the comfrey root.
D-panthenol: Part of the water-soluble vitamin B complex (B5). Acts as a penetrating moisturizer.
Tyrosine: Tyrosine is considered an antioxidant and may be useful for people who have been exposed to harmful chemicals (such as from smoking) and UV radiation.
Glyceryl Stearate: Skin emollient, and also used as an emulsifier in formulations.
Xanthan Gum: AKA cornstarch gum. Serves as a texturizer, carrier agent, and gelling agent. Also stabilizes and thickens formulations.
D-beta-fructan: Escorts Vitamin C to the cells, promotes better quality collagen and elastin, supplies nitrogen to the skin, strengthens the skin’s immune cells, is an amino sugar that bolsters the skin’s ability to moisturize, strengthen and generally defend itself. From glucose molecules of the Date Palm.
D-beta-glucosamine: This amino sugar is a component of hyaluronic acid, one of the glycosaminoglycans (polysaccharide chains) that make up the extra cellular matrix (ground substance) of the dermis which contains elastin and collagen. These compounds bind water and are involved in the maintenance of the water and salt balance of the skin and keep the epidermis in tighter alignment with the dermis. From Chinese Foxglove, grain and lichen.
Organic Grapefruit Essential Oil: Anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties.
Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil: Essential oil from lemongrass with purifying, refreshing, and hydrating effects.
Citric Acid: Softens skin, acts as a natural preservative, adjusts acid-alkali balance, is a foam inhibitor and plasticizier; used alone as an astringent and acts as an antioxidant.
