Key Ingredients Explained:
Palm Oil – A vegetable oil used to restore moisture and reduce wrinkles. Safe and gentle to use on sensitive skin. One study indicates “The fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis Guineesis) is a source of antioxidant-rich red palm oil. Red palm oil is a rich source of phytonutrients such as tocotrienols, tocopherols, carotenoids, phytosterols, squalene, and coenzyme Q10, all of which exhibit nutritional properties and oxidative stability.”
Coconut Oil - Extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts and composed of many FFAs, including lauric acid (49%), myristic acid (18%), palmitic acid (8%), caprylic acid (8%), capric acid (7%), oleic acid (6%), linoleic acid (2%), and stearic acid (2%). Shown to be as effective and safe as mineral oil when applied as a moisturizer for mild to moderate xerosis.
Olive Oil - Provides soothing and calming effects thanks to its healthy monounsaturated fats and polyphenol content. Also acts as a moisture barrier and can help sooth red, inflamed, or sun damaged skin.
Castor Oil - Contains triglycerides to moisturize dry skin and humectant properties to further pull in and retain moisture. Sooths irritated skin, which can often become dry from cleansing with harsh chemicals. According to one study, ricinoleic acid (RA), the main component of castor oil, exerts remarkable analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects when applied topically.
