PPG-2-Isodeceth-12

Topically, it has been used in lotions as a soothing agent, oil-in-water emulsifier, and as astringent. Acacia Senegal gum is used externally to cover inflamed surfaces like bums or nodular leprosy.

Promotes the breakdown of fat, is a very good skin energizer. It accelerates the fat-burning process, thus boosting energy production by burning the body‘s fat reserves.

Xanthan gum is a natural carbohydrate gum produced by a yeast-like micro-organism. It has soothing properties and is used as an emulsifier and thickener to help with the consistency and stability of creams.

PPG-5-Ceteth-20 is an alkoxy ether of cetyl alcohol, a heteropolymer of ethylene and propylene oxides. It is a water-soluble nonionic liquid surfactant.

Brookswax P is a non-ionic self-emulsifying wax based on cetyl, stearyl alcohols, and ethoxylated sorbitan ester. It has an approximate HLB of 8, making it ideal for forming stable o/w emulsions with mineral oil and other commonly used hydrophobic emollients.

C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters is a highly diverse ester complex derived from wool wax, combining branched-chain fatty acids, cholesterol, and related sterols. It is a snow-white, odorless, and amorphous soft solid with a pleasant, non-greasy, emollient feel and melting point of 30-38°C.

PEG-7 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a nonionic emulsifier for cosmetic water-in-oil emulsions manufactured by reacting hydrogenated castor oil with ethylene oxide. It is a cloudy, slightly yellowish, viscous liquid with a very faint characteristic odor and an HLB value of 5±1.

Irish moss (Chondrus Crispus) is common in the intertidal zone on all shores of the North Atlantic. Historically, Chondrus Crispus has been used internally as an excellent remedy for tuberculosis, coughs, bronchitis, and intestinal problems.

PEG-35 Soy Glycerides is a water-soluble ethoxylated vegetable oil derivative from refined soybean oil. It is a waxy paste that is stable under pH extremes, nonionic, and compatible with other ionic species in formulation.

Lanolin Wax is a lanolin derivative (a more dense and solid fraction of lanolin). It is a yellow-to-tan waxy solid with a mild, pleasant odor. Its melting range is close to body temperature, 41-51°C, so it can be used as a natural moisturizing emollient in body lotions.

Sodium Coco-Sulfate (CFAS) is a naturally derived anionic surfactant produced by sulfating coconut-derived fatty alcohols. As more people become familiar with its unique properties, it is beginning to be used in personal care applications.

Cellulose derivatives have the polymeric backbone of cellulose, with repeating anhydroglucose units. After alkaline treatment, cellulose is reacted with methyl chloride to yield methyl ether groups. The end product is purified and ground to a fine powder and is known as methylcellulose.
