AQUA

Water is the foundation of every cosmetic product.

CETYL ALCOHOL

Fatty alcohol – it helps stabilize your cream and gives it its lovely texture. It softens and protects the skin. Its non-greasy finish feels gentle on the skin, leaving it velvety and slightly powdery.

CERA ALBA

Or organic beeswax. Beeswax is a natural substance produced by bees to build honeycombs. It is particularly effective in skincare products with a protective function, such as our organic sunscreen. Beeswax forms a protective layer on the skin to help regenerate damaged or dry skin and protect it from external aggressors such as the sun.

Calendula Offinalis Flower Extract

Organic calendula flower extract is an active ingredient rich in triterpene esters and flavonoid antioxidants, giving it soothing and regenerating properties. It is ideal for skin prone to atopic conditions or redness.

CETEARYL ALCOHOL

A highly emollient fatty substance, Cetearyl belongs to the family of "fatty alcohols". It has nothing to do with ethyl alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a very common emollient in natural cosmetics. It softens and protects, absorbs exceptionally well and leaves a velvety finish. It adds body to moisturizers and creates a much-appreciated cocooning effect, particularly in night products or products for very dry skin. Rich and nourishing, it leaves skin supple and comfortable. Drier than its cousin Cetyl alcohol, Cetearyl alcohol is particularly well suited to oily skin, nourishing it without leaving a shiny finish.
