Water is the foundation of the water phase and solvent for hydrophilic (water-loving) substances.

The yellow to golden yellow coloured Peach Kernel Oil is a light oil that is absorbed easily by the skin, leaving it feeling soft and silky.

The Jojoba plant is an evergreen shrub that bears olive-shaped fruits and grows wild in arid environments such as, Israel, Arizona Mexico and South America. Jojoba Seed Oil is derived from the seeds (beans) within the fruits. This oil is an oily liquid wax that is very similar to the protective layer of the human skin. At the same time, it supports the barrier function of the skin. Thereby it protects the skin against water loss without leaving it greasy. It is very skin friendly, easily absorbed and is therefore a suitable care product for all skin types, especially for dry skin. It is also very suitable as a base oil in products because it’s very stable and doesn’t oxidise (go rancid) easily.

Hyddrolyzed Beeswax is an ingredient that is gained from beeswax. It is mainly used as a protecting wax component to improve consistency and to stabilize the emulsion. The slight emulsifying effect of beeswax is reinforced with Hydrolyzed Beeswax.

Due to the phytosterol and the squalene in the unsaponifiable part of the olive oil, it is a valuable raw material, which has an antioxidative effect and is very kind to the skin. This component is easily absorbed by the hydro-lipid film of the skin and thus supports its barrier function. Thereby, it contributes to the protection of the skin against water loss. The unsaponifiable part of the olive oil is ideal for skin care products for dry and sensitive skin.
