To help remove the mystery of the ingredients listed in the soap, lotion, serum or other products you have received from Momma Muse (or other hand-made bath and body companies), here is a list of commonly used ingredients, name of the label (The FDA required the name INCI - International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients) and a description of the benefits and properties of the skin it provides. Do not let these mysterious names on the labels scare you, so much of that is just a complicated name given to a single ingredient.
Distilled water
- We always use distillates for more safety and purity.
Hidrosoles
INCI depends on the hydrosol used.
- Hydrosols are also known as floral waters, essential waters or distillates. These are purified waters that are produced during the process of extracting essential oils from plants and flowers. The hydrolates we use are natural and contain no added fragrance.
Infusions and Teas
In some recipes, by infusing oils with herbs, or by creating a tea, the use of distilled water and herbs is used to maximize the benefits of certain plants. Not to mention, it's an attractive attraction for the label.
Almond Oil
Prunus oil Amygdalus Dulcis (sweet almond)
- An excellent softener and moisturizer for the skin. Almond oil is ideal for all skin types, but particularly beneficial for dry or irritated skin.
Apricot kernel
Prunus Armeniaca Core Oil (Apricot)
- High in vitamins A and E. Helps to moisturize and soften the skin. It helps the skin retain its elasticity, clarity and suppleness.
Rice bran oil
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Oil of his
- A nourishing oil and a powerful protector of the skin, rich in gamma-oryzanol and antioxidants, which protect and regenerate the skin. RBO is rich in phytosterols, helps reduce inflammation and soothes discomfort. It also contains the largest amount of Vitamin E in liquid form. Beneficial for mature, sensitive and delicate skin.
Squalane Olive
Squalane (European Olea)
- Squalane is a very light and fine oil that is absorbed deeply and quickly into the skin without leaving any greasy residue. Squalane is a wonderful oil for skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, rashes, psoriasis, cracks, in terms of helping with bruising or healing the skin. Because squalane is naturally present in the skin (a botanical lipid) that has a molecule structure identical to human lipids, it is effectively used in facial products to help reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin.
Jojoba oil
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
- Jojoba oil contains proteins and minerals. It is similar to our own sebum that is secreted by our glands, helping to lubricate and protect our skin.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Caprylic / capric triglyceride
- This light oil helps to transport therapeutic oils under the skin. With medium chain triglycerides, it also helps moisturize and soften the skin.
Vitamin E
Tocopherol
- A natural antioxidant of the skin, which promotes tissue health - healing and rejuvenation.
Monoi of Tahiti
Coconut oil Nucifera (Coco) (and) Gardenia Tahitensis
- A moisturizing and naturally scented oil that penetrates the skin quickly and acts as a natural barrier that helps prevent dehydration (and wrinkles) of the skin. An oil with a wonderfully natural aroma excellent for all skin types.
Palm Oil
Sodium palmate
- Used as a basic ingredient in many luxury and expensive soaps. It is considered a vegetable sebum that produces a hard soap pill that is both gentle and cleansing.
Palm seed Oil
Hydrogenated palm oil
Sodium and palm kernelate
- Very similar in qualities such as palm oil, produces a bar of hard and clean soap that soaps well.
Coconut Oil
Nucifera with coconut oil (Coco)
Sodium cocoates
- Coconut oil makes a hard bar of soap that soaps beautifully.
Olive Oil
Olea Europaea oil (olive)
Sodium Olivate
- A moisturizing oil used in soaps: castile soaps are usually 100% olive oil, but it is not necessary to determine what percentage should be used. Softens the skin and attracts moisture from the skin. It is a mild soap that keeps the skin soft, supple and looking younger.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii (shea butter) Fruit
- Shea butter is deep penetration and long-acting. It is necessary to restore the water balance of the skin and to avoid the visible signs of aging and wrinkles.
Cocoa butter
Theobroma Cocoa Seed Butter (Cocoa)
Cocoa and Sodium Butter
- Cocoa butter is quickly absorbed into the skin to soften, lubricate, moisturize and nourish the skin. It works very well to prevent and treat scars, stretch marks and skin lesions.
Glycerine
- Glycerin is a humectant, which means that it attracts moisture from the skin. That's the idea of the lotion, is not it? To moisturize our skin, keep it soft. Good material
Emulsifier
Glyceryl Stearate (and) cetearyl alcohol (and) sodium stearoyl lactylate
- Because the lotion is made with a mixture of oil and water, an emulsifier is needed to mix and keep the two together. We chose a natural self-emulsifier that helps provide a natural moisturizing factor in the skin. Our emulsifier provides conditioning and softness to the skin.
Stearic Acid
- We use 100% palm-derived stearic acid (that is, friendly for vegetarians). Stearic acid is used to help bind oils and water, but also to help thicken and stabilize the lotion.
Cyclomethicone
- It is used to avoid a greasy feeling and to convey a soft and silky sensation to the lotion. Commonly used in lotions to provide a "dusty" feeling. It is also used in body sprays and bath products (bath salts, etc.).
Tory
Propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, iodopropyl butyl carbamate
- The preservative we use in our lotions is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal and paraben-free fungicide. It is very effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, molds and annoying domestic organisms. Our lotions are not tested except to give to family and friends, however, we still use the recommended percentage of preservative to provide maximum security to our users.
Bleach
Sodium hydroxide
- This is the chemical used to make soap. Without this chemical, there is no soap, period. Sodium hydroxides cause a chemical reaction called saponification. Once the saponification is complete, the final product is soap and there is no bleach in the finished product. You will see sodium hydroxide in our list of ingredients, however, another way to list it is as a saponified oil; For example, for an olive oil soap, we could simply list it as "olive oil", which means the same thing as sodium hydroxide, olive oil.
Perfume Oil
- Scented oils are added in small enough quantities to not irritate most people. However, we add enough to give a slight scent that in your favorite perfume, it will be hard to resist the urge to feel your hands (again and again). It may not be included in all our lotions because we can make it available without perfume, naturally scented with hydrosols or with essential oils, usually on special request.
Dyes
- We use a combination of micas, oxides, spices and clays to obtain colors in our products.
