As oil and water products don't mix by themselves, these are waxy emulsifying substances that are required to bind the Organic oily ingredients of our products to the water soluble Organic components. They are 100% Vegetable derived and have constituents also found occurring naturally in the skin. They form an elegantly textured emulsion that is non-drying and enhances the cream absorption into your skin leaving it feeling soft and silky. Their affinities to skin protein make them totally non-irritating to both skin and eyes and are recognised as the most 'Skin friendly' emulsifiers. They are not irritants and are not related to SD alcohol or ethyl alcohol.
