Bees Wax: Beeswax helps shape the hair, it provides hold, style and effectively protects against external aggressions.
Butyrospermum Parkii: Or more commonly known as Shea Butter, it hydrates, protects, retains moisture and nourishes the skin.
Microcrystalline Wax: Mineral wax and a hydrocarbon that can form various temporary bonds with other structural ingredients, such as oil and solvents. It allows the products to last long.
Carnauba Wax: Carnauba is a wax derived from the leaves of a palm tree growing wild in northeastern Brazil. Carnauba wax prevents cosmetics from feeling “sticky” on the skin.
Candelilla Wax: Very hard wax, useful for hardening sticks and lipsticks, facilitating their release and their resistance to heat.
Tocopheryl Acetate: Tocopheryl Acetate, or tocopheryl acetate, is a derivative of Vitamin E known for its antioxidant properties. It helps revitalize the skin and strengthens the skin's defenses against harmful free radicals. This revitalization allows the skin to remain supple and radiant.
Oil:
Tocopheryl Acetate:
Antioxidant properties, and prevents premature aging of the skin.
It helps revitalize the skin and strengthens the skin's defenses against harmful free radicals. This revitalization allows the skin to remain supple and radiant.
Vitamin E:
Antioxidant: Inhibits reactions favored by oxygen, thus preventing oxidation and rancidity
Masking Agent: Reduces or inhibits the base odor or taste of the product
Skin Conditioning Agent - Miscellaneous: Improve the appearance of dry and/or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness.
Skin conditioning agent - Occlusive: Delays the evaporation of water from the surface of the skin. Occlusives are generally lipids that tend to remain on the surface of the skin and therefore increase the water content of the skin.
conditioner:
Marshmallow root: Marshmallow Root is ideal for relieving all inflammations. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antitussive, softening and emollient properties, this plant can act on inflammation of the respiratory, digestive, urinary and skin tracts.
Slippery elm Bark: Elm bark helps treat skin wounds, inflammation of the mucous membranes and burns.
Hair conditioner: Leaves hair manageable, supple, soft and shiny and/or adds volume, lightness and shine
Humectant: Maintains the water content of a cosmetic in its packaging and on the skin
Agave Nectar: Agave Nectar
Slik protein:
Moisturizing: Silk protein is a natural humectant, which means it can help hydrate the skin. When applied topically, silk protein can help lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
Anti-aging: Silk protein contains amino acids that can help stimulate collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, and its production declines with age. By promoting collagen synthesis, silk protein can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Soothing: Silk protein has anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm irritated or inflamed skin. It can also help reduce redness and swelling, making it a useful ingredient for sensitive or reactive skin.
Protect: Silk protein forms a protective barrier on the skin that can help protect it from environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays. This barrier can also help prevent moisture loss and keep skin hydrated.
Smoothing: Silk protein has a silky texture that can help smooth the skin's surface, making it smoother and more even.
