Product Information

A semi-essential (infants cannot synthesize it, but adults can) amino acid that is one of the primary building blocks of hair keratin and skin collagen. It usually has to be neutralized with a base (such as sodium hydroxide) for the thickening to occur and it creates viscous, clear gels that also feel nice and non-tacky on the skin. Thanks to the positive charge, it also creates a complex with AHAs (AHAs like to lose a hydrogen ion and be negatively charged, so the positive and the negative ions attract each other) that causes a "time-release AHA effect" and reduces the irritation associated with AHAs. It’s part of 200 natural oils including lavender, ylang-ylang, bergamot, jasmine, geranium and it can be found in 90-95% of prestige perfumes on the market. com/skin/face-skin-care/face-cream/elemis-skin-solutions-sos-emergency-cream-50ml/p/mp-00025131" on this server.

Great natural moisturizer and skin-identical ingredient that plays an important role in skin hydration and general skin health. 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). Myrrh Essential Oil: Regenerating, anti-inflammatory and anti-itching properties and hence invaluable in products, which help relieve acne. It’s often used together with ethylhexylglycerin as it nicely improves the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol. It's similar to the more often used sodium hydroxideand pretty much the same of what we wrote there applies here too.It also helps to stabilize oil-water mixes (emulsions), though it does not function as an emulsifier in itself.
