What is Hydrogenated Polyisobute Hydrogenated polyisobutene is a synthetic liquid used to replaced mineral and silicone oils in formulations. It acts as a waterproofing agent and an emollient. An emollient helps to maintain the natural skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and improve the texture of the skincare product. | Jojoba Oil is one of the best oils for cosmetic on Earth Jojoba oil is often used as a skincare ingredient to both nourish and protect your skin, lips, and hair. Jojoba oil is rich in beauty-boosting vitamins A, E, and D, plus antioxidants and fatty acids, jojoba "oil" is actually a wax ester with remarkably similar properties to our skin's own sebum. This means the "oil" is able to penetrate deeply, reaching below the top layer of skin for maximum nourishment. Jojoba is also naturally antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, analgesic (read: able to relieve pain), and anti-inflammatory.1Perhaps best of all, it can be used on any skin type, from dry and sensitive to acne-prone. | What is it and what does fractionated mean Fractionated coconut oil is a lightweight moisturizer for your lips. It is quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving it feeling, not greasy, but hydrated and enriched. This oil also offers the UV protection that the delicate skin on your lips needs to stay young looking, even after years of sun exposure. Coconut oil is naturally composed of both long- and medium-chain fatty acids, which are also called "medium-chain triglycerides" (MCT for short). In fractionated coconut oil, the long-chain fatty acids are removed by steam distillation. After the process and distillation are complete, the coconut oil contains primarily medium-chain triglycerides. Once fractionated, the remaining oil has numerous health benefits. The personal care industry, our main concern here, has also discovered numerous beneficial ways to use this oil, especially as a carrier oil for essential oils, because it is odorless and colorless, and because it is such a great hydrator. | The Benefits Of Vitamin E Oil Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, which means it fights against the skin cell damage believed to be caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules in the body that may harm cellular processes, and their presence in the skin is most often a result of exposure to pollution and ultraviolet rays from the sun. Because they work against free radicals -- which many scientists believe contribute to signs of aging -- antioxidants are often found in products advertised as anti-aging. Beyond its effects as an antioxidant, vitamin E also is believed to protect skin from damage directly caused by ultraviolet rays. Your lips are often exposed to the sun and don't contain the protective pigment melanin, so choosing a lip care product with vitamin E can help protect your lips during the day and possibly repair damage after the day is done. So, as an ingredient in lip gloss, vitamin E may help you maintain the soft, youthful texture of your lips by reducing the signs of aging. |
