PROPANEDIOL: Synthetic additive used as a humectant, it maintains the water content of the skin and it controls viscosity.

XANTHAN GUM: Xanthan gum, a natural thickener, is used as a texturizer.

LAUROYL LYSINE: Plant-derived amino acid derivative made from coconut fatty acid and coconut oil.

CAPRYLYL GLYCOL: Naturally occurring it is a humectant.

HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE: Synthetic additive used as a binder, emulsion stabilizer, film-forming agent and viscosity control agent.

PPG-26-BUTETH-26 *: Synthetic additive, this material is used to reduce the sticky effect, to allow better makeup removal, and to stabilize the formula.

PEG 40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL *: This ingredient is a polyethylene glycol derivative of castor oil, it hydrates thanks to its fatty acid properties. It is an alternative to waxes of animal or petroleum origin.

ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN: Synthetic additive, it is a skin care agent.

* PEG and PPG:

Particularly efficient for the manufacture and stabilization of emulsions. It is above all the way they are made, and not the dangers associated with skin health, that often make them ingredients in question.

Therefore, we have specially chosen PEG / PPG whose manufacturing methods have no harmful effects on the environment and on the health of living beings.
