Ingredients
Phase A
9.1 g of Buriti Oil
Buriti oil is a nutrient-rich ingredient that offers numerous benefits. Its high content of vitamins and essential fatty acids nourish the skin, while its antioxidants combat signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. Plus, it provides deep hydration to the skin, improving elasticity and preventing dryness.
Phase B
8.7 g of Gélisucre ORGANIC – emulsifier
Gélisucre ORGANIC is an eco-friendly emulsifier derived from organic sources. It helps blend water and oil-based ingredients into a smooth consistency, perfect for cosmetic products. Additionally, it binds water and oils, moisturizing the skin and preventing dryness.
Phase C
70 g of Mineral Water
Mineral water enriches the skin with essential minerals, offering deep hydration, detoxification, and nourishment. It also helps balance the skin’s pH.
0.5 g of Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum is a natural thickening agent that locks in moisture and improves the consistency of cosmetic products. It also serves as a stabilizer, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients throughout the product.
Phase D
2.1 g of Natural fragrance Moorea
Moorea adds a pleasant and soothing scent to the product, enhancing the user’s experience. The aroma also uplifts mood, reduces stress, and promotes relaxation. Being natural, it’s less likely to irritate or cause allergies, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
8.5 g of Natural DHA Active
Natural DHA Active (Dihydroxyacetone) provides a safe and natural-looking tan. It reacts with the skin’s amino acids, causing it to darken and simulate a natural tan. This lessens the orange hue often associated with other tanning products.
0.6 g of Cosgard Curator
Cosgard Curator is a natural preservative that prevents the growth of bacteria, yeast, and molds in cosmetic products, improving their shelf life. It’s safe for skin, non-irritating, and less likely to cause reactions.
