Lush Ingredients Flashcards
Propylene Glycol
A great humectant (hydrating) ingredient that also enables your skin to better take in moisture both from the other ingredients in the product and the water you’re bathing in. Enhances delivery of key active ingredients into skin. Also stops soaps from melting or freezing in extreme temps.
Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter
Such a great moisurising ingredient. It conditions and softens skin. It’s a really rich source of antioxidant polyphenols, which can help reduce signs of aging like sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and even have UV protectant properties (though definitely dont us this as a sunscreen replacement it won’t work).
ontains oleic acid (mono-unsaturated fatty acid) that is compatible with our body’s natural sebum so it absorbs well into our skin. Also has steaic acid that helps keep the products fresh for longer.
Our cocoa butter is fair trade sourced from organic growers in the Domican Republic and Peru, so it’s really high quality.
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
A really great soothing ingredient. Does wonders for anyone with extremely dry skin or even psoriasis and eczema.
