Actually, we prefer to inform what the products do contain instead of discussing what they do not contain. But, as many people in the skin care industry still go into details of what their products do not contain, we will also mention a few of those ...


The formula does not contain:
Synthetic, plastic cross-polymers
Synthetic emulsifiers / stabilizers containing ethoxylating agents
Acrylates
Carbomers
Parabens
Mineral Oil
PEGs*
* PEGs (polyethylene glycols) are petroleum-based ingredients that are widely used in cosmetics such as thickeners, solvents, emollients and moisturizers. PEGs are commonly used as cosmetic cream bases. They are also used in medicines as laxatives.


This is how the products are manufactured:
We use natural emulsifiers (from olives) that combine water and oil, and natural substances (from olives) that provide structure and viscosity. We do not use plastic substances to thicken such as acrylates, cross polymers, or stabilizers that contain PEGs, or carbomers.


We use natural oils, for example, broccoli seed oil and squalane from olives; beta-glucan from oats, picea abies, extracted from spruce shoots, which in studies have shown to be good for both sunburn and minor skin damage as well. Most of the ingredients are eco-certified.


We do not use perfumes in the ordinary sense, only some substances that can be classified as perfumes, but we use them as preservatives. Many new preservatives, including organic, can be allergenic, and therefore we have chosen to use the preservatives with which we have a long experience as being mild and non-irritating to many different kinds of skin types.


Best of all, the formula is biomimetic, ie, the ingredients mimic the skin’s natural functions. The combination of high quality ingredients are easily absorbed by the skin, and protects the epidermis without clogging pores.
