 Ingredients Rundown I'm speed reading to get everything in b4 my 10 minutes are up. I rundown some ingredients in products that we use. Dispell the myth of "alcohol". CETEARYL ALCOHOL - It is not really an "alcohol", such as rubbing alcohol, which would dry the skin, but it is an emulsifying wax, made by combining fatty alcohols from vegetable sources, such as coconut fatty alcohol. It can also be made artificially. It is used in many cosmetics as an emollient, thickening agent, moisturizer, emulsifier, stabilizer, opacifier as well as a carrying agent for other ingredients Cetearyl Alcohol - A waxy, crystalline solid used as an emulsifier. Not to be confused with drying, ethyl alcohols Cetyl Alcohol - A secondary emulsifier that thickens or adds body to lotions. Not to he confused with drying, ethyl alcohols. Stearyl Alcohol: An emulsion stabilizer; also adds body to a lotion. Ethyl Alcohol: Acts as a fat solvent in oils and lotions Isopropyl Myristate: The ester of isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid. It spreads very easily and promotes a dry feeling. Propylene Glycol: An aliphatic alcohol serving as an humectant in skin products and a solvent for preservatives, essential oils, flavors and fragrances. Also used in preparation of herbal extracts Propylparaben: Common cosmetic preservative that is anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Less water soluble than methylparaben. DEA (Diethanolamine): A neutralizing agent that raises pH. Mineral Oil: A liquid blend of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum. An effective solvent for removing oil, grease and make-up from the skin. An excellent amplifier or intensifier allowing the skin to absorb ultraviolet rays more effectively. Most companies no longer use mineral oil in products; vegetable oils have been found to be as effective and more skin friendly. Petrolatum: Petroleum derived, inexpensive substance used to prevent moisture loss. Tends to feel tacky. Derivative of Petroleum Shea Butter: A natural lipid obtained from the fruit of the karite tree, butyrosperum parkii. The slightly greenish butter with soothing protecting qualities is said to have some sunscreening ability. Vitamin E (in its synthetic form, Tocopherol Acetate): A natural moisture binder that allows the skin to breathe and function naturally. Believed to have natural healing qualities. Castor Oil - Emollient, natural oil. Used in hair dressings, lipsticks, and skincare lotions. Obtained from the castor bean. Sunflower Oil: Obtained from sunflower seeds. Bland, pale yellow oil that contains large amounts of Vitamin E. Natural oil Jojoba Oil: Extracted from the seeds of the desert shrub simondsia chinesis this oil is actually an emollient ester with excellent spreading, lubricating and penetrating properties. Excellent for hair and scalp conditioning and said to be useful in oily skin preparations Sta -- sof- fro Glycerin: A naturally derived skin friendly humectant prepared by the hydrolysis of fats and oils Dicetyldimonium Chloride: A quaternary ammonium salt. Conditioner. Oleth-30/20/10/5: Potentially contaminated with impurities linked to cancer or other significant health problems. These are ethoxylated oleyl alcohols and are mild, virtually odorless nonionic surfactants and coemulsifier. And are used in personal care products as wetting agents, emulsifiers, solubilizers, conditioners and coupling agents. Oleth-5 is a yellow liquid and has an HLB of 8.8 It is typically used at 0.5-5%. •Potential breast carcinogen. •This chemical is used in these types of products: Hair Color and Bleaching, Styling Gel/Lotion, Conditioner, Shampoo, Facial Cleanser, Relaxer, Antiperspirant/Deodorant (Men's), Shaving Cream (Men's), Facial Moisturizer/Treatment, Eye Liner, Antiperspirant/Deodorant, Body Wash/Cleanser, Acne Treatment, Moisturizer, Around-eye Cream, Blush, Exfoliant/Scrub, Shaving Cream, Eye Shadow, Hair-loss Treatment, Baby Sunscreen, Pain/Wound Treatment, Hormonal Cream, Bronzer/Highlighter, Foot Treatment, Dandruff/Scalp Treatment.
