Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (EWG Rating: 1)Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, it is non-sensitizing and considered an excellent emollient and skin-repairing ingredient. This is due to the mix of fatty acids that the skin can use to repair its surface and resist moisture loss.

Glycerin (EWG Rating: 1) A humectant that works to moisturize the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin's outer layer. When combined with other occlusive agents it also forms a protective layer that helps prevent moisture loss and prevent dryness and scaling. Pure

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (EWG Rating: 1) An emollient and skin conditioner, it is known for its skin smoothing qualities and is considered non comedogenic (doesn’t clog pores).

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (EWG Rating: 1) A clear gel like substance, it plays a role in binding moisture to skin. It also possesses soothing and healing properties.

Sodium Polyacrylate (EWG Rating: 1) A emulsion stabilizer and emollient in cold processing formulations. It achieves light texture and good spreadability.

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (EWG Rating: 1) A non-fragrant plant oil with topical anti-inflammatory benefits, it also helps to enhance the skin’s barrier repair properties and ability to heal from damage. With a rich source of fatty acids that the skin recognizes and can use, it assists in stimulating collagen production and defending the skin against UV light damage.

Bakuchiol (EWG Rating: 1) A natural antioxidant found in the seeds and leaves of the plant Psoralea Corylifolia (Babchi). Although chemically different to Retinol, Bakuchiol has been shown to regulate skin cell behaviour in a similar way, without many of the side effects typical of retinoids, including sun sensitivity and irritant dermatitis. It helps stimulate production of collagens types 1,3 and 4 while inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes and elastase. Studies show improvement in roughness and dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone, elasticity and firmness, radiance and brightening. It also "boosts" the effectiveness of a retinoid and helps stabilize it when the two are combined.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) (EWG Rating: 1) Proven to be effective in protecting against photoaging of the skin, this stable oil soluble form of Vitamin C can penetrate the skin more effectively. It helps reduce melatonin production (skin lightening effect), and helps repair the effects of sun exposure and environmental harm. Exposure to UV light decreases the naturally occurring Vitamin C levels in the skin, so topical application of Vitamin C restores these photoprotectant levels.

Sodium Hyaluronate (EWG Rating: 1) This sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid is found naturally in the fluid that bathes human joints. It is abundant in the dermis of young skin, but levels decline with age making the skin look older. It attracts and holds on to water, making it the ultimate skin moisturizer, helping to hydrate skin and keep it moist and supple. It is non-irritating to skin and is usually well tolerated for those with sensitive skin.

Bisabolol (EWG Rating: 1) An anti-irritant typically extracted from Chamomile, it reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production and ameliorates skin inflammation.
