Unfortunately, these two properties for a surfactant usually mean that it is harsh on the skin, which is the case here as well.  COCAMIDOPROPYL HYDROXYSULTAINE -A thickening and foam-boasting co-surfactant . It's very mild and gentle, comes from coconut oil and is readily biodegradable.  PROPANEDIOL is a natural alternative for the often used and often bad-mouthed propylene glycol. It is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains moisture in the skin. Propanediol also has emollient properties, which help to soften and smooth the skin.  It's quite a multi-tasker: can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula.  COCO-CAPRYLATE/CAPRATE -hydrates skin by trapping moisture within, discouraging trans epidermal water loss. Unlike traditional emollients, this ingredient is naturally lightweight, allowing for an airy feel on skin. CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS SEED OIL (Safflower) Comes from the seeds of the yellow flowered safflower plant. Similar to other plant oils, it's loaded with nourishing and moisturizing fatty acids: it's a high linoleic acid oil (70%) and has only smaller amounts of oleic acid (11%) (this might be great for acne-prone skin). It also contains antioxidant vitamin E (44mg/100g alpha-tocopherol). SODIUM COCOAMPHOACETATE works as a cleansing agent. It has so-called amphoteric structure meaning that its head contains both a positively and a negatively charged part (surfactants are most commonly anionic meaning their head has a negative charge).very mild with great foaming properties. It's popular in baby products.  Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (Organic) - Goodie Sunflower does not need a big intro as you probably use it in the kitchen as cooking oil, or you munch on the seeds as a healthy snack or you adore its big, beautiful yellow flower during the summer - or you do all of these and probably even more. And by even more  we mean putting it all over your face as sunflower oil is one of the most commonly used plant oils in skincare. It’s a real oldie: expressed directly from the seeds, the oil is used not for hundreds but thousands of years. LEUCONOSTOC/RADISH ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE - It's an alternative, natural preservative - antimicrobial properties.  It is one of the more promising natural preservatives that can be used even alone (recommended at 2-4%), but it's not as effective as more common alternatives, like parabens or phenoxyethanol.  LACTIC ACID- superstar - It’s the second most researched AHA after glycolic acid It gently lifts off dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher, smoother skin- exfoliates It also has amazing skin hydrating properties In higher concentration (10% and up) it improves skin firmness, thickness and wrinkles GLYCERYL RICINOLEATE - a natural agent. It acts as an emollient, cleanser, and emulsifier. Not only does it prevent moisture loss, but it also provides a moisturized feel to products.

MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED OIL - It's rich in nourishing and moisturizing fatty acid, oleic (75%) and also contains behenic acid (up to 8%) that makes moringa very stable and gives the oil a long shelf life.  It blends easily with essential oils and can also help to stabilize scents so it's a popular oil in the perfume industry.  3-O-ETHYL ASCORBIC ACID - a superstar, very stable, promising form Vitamin C. Vitamin C has three proven magic abilities: antioxidant, collagen booster, and skin brightener. however it's very unstable, turns brown and becomes ineffective in no time (after a few month) and the cosmetics industry is trying to come up with smart derivatives that are stable and have the magic properties of pure Vitamin C.  Ethyl Ascorbic Acid or EAC for short is an "etherified derivative of ascorbic acid" that consists of vitamin C and an ethyl group bound to the third carbon position. This makes Vitamin C very stable and soluble in both water and oil. SODIUM HYALURONATE - HA HYDROLYZED SILK - enhances suppleness and a smooth appearance. COCODIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL SILK AMINO ACIDS - a conditioning agent derived from silk proteins. It provides excellent moisture binding properties and enhances the natural texture and feel of the skin. Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract - Goodie Green tea is one of the most researched natural ingredients The active parts are called polyphenols, or more precisely catechins (EGCG being the most abundant and most active catechin) There can be huge quality differences between green tea extracts. The good ones contain 50-90% catechins (and often make the product brown and give it a distinctive smell) Green tea is proven to be a great antioxidant, UV protectant, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial Because of these awesome properties green tea is a great choice for anti-aging and also for skin diseases including rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis TOCOPHEROL - vitamin E, is a skincare ingredient that can help with hydration, protection, and healing LECITHIN - Lecithin is an emollient that softens and soothes the skin when applied topically.

TROPOLONE - an organic compound that can be derived from plants. It does have some antioxidant properties but is of most interest to cosmetic chemists as a preservative. Studies have shown tropolone has antimicrobial abilities, specifically the ability to combat bacterial and fungal growth. CAPRYLYL GLYCOL -  multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel. At the same time, it also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives, such as the nowadays super commonly used phenoxyethanol.  ETHYLHEXYL GLYCERIN -  used as an alternative to parabens (preservatives) and is used for its skin-conditioning properties [1]. Ethylhexylglycerin has been reported to cause dermatitis and skin irritation XANTHAN GUM - Thickening and Stabilizing LAURYL GLUCOSIDE A 100% vegetable origin, biodegradable, mild cleansing agent that gives moderate to high amount of foam.
