Leslie Bauman notes in Cosmetic Dermatology that one application of sunflower oil significantly speeds up the recovery of the skin barrier within an hour and sustains the results 5 hours after using it. One more thing: the water used in cosmetics is purified and deionized (it means that almost all of the mineral ions inside it is removed). This clarifying shampoo removes mineral deposits, product buildup, excess oils , and even silicones that can build up over time. If you are someone who likes to know what you put on your face then fragrance is not your best friend - there's no way to know what’s really in it.The art of cleansing is usually to balance between properly cleansing but not over-cleansing and cocamidopropyl betaine is helpful in pulling off this balance right.

This clarifying shampoo removes mineral deposits, product buildup, excess oils, and even silicones that can build up over time. INCI is a list of the standardized and internationally accepted names used in the declaration of ingredients on cosmetic and personal care products. A mainly oil-loving, vegetable raw material based ingredient that helps water and oil to mix together, aka emulsifier.

Super common little helper ingredient that helps products to remain nice and stable for a longer time.According to The National Sunflower Association, there is evidence that both the plant and its oil were used by American Indians in the area of Arizona and New Mexico about 3000 BC. It’s not permitted to be used alone, but only with its BFF, methylisothiazolinone (MI), another icky preservative. It's a great moisturizing and nourishing emollient oil that's loaded with skin goodies like essential amino acids, antioxidant phenolic compounds, and fatty acids. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben. If you are into chemistry (if not, we understand, just skip this paragraph), the reason is that electrolytes (you know, the Na+ and Cl- ions) screen the electrostatic repulsion between the head groups of ionic surfactants and thus support the formation of long shaped micelles (instead of spherical ones) that entangle like spaghetti, and viola, a gel is formed.
