Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Est. %3
Function
Origin

Cetyl Ethylhexanoate
Est. %2
Function
Origin

Lanolin
Est. %1.5
Function
Origin

Est. %0.3

Water
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Sorbitan Laurate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Sorbitan LaurateSorbitan laurate is a sugar-based emulsifier similar to sucrose palmitate. It keeps oil broken into small droplets throughout water because of its chemical shape and nature (this is how most oil-in-water emulsifiers work by the way). These kinds of emulsifiers are mild enough to even be used in food preparations.
Caramel
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
CaramelA natural ingredient that is derived from the heat treatment of table sugar. Caramel is used in skincare as a natural colorant that can create transparent, dark brown solutions. It also works as a fragrance, where it provides a sweet, sugary scent.
Ethylhexylglycerin
