Ingredients

Our Body Wash Ingredients:

 

 

 

Plant-Based Origins: Most of the ingredients are derived from plants, including aloe, coconuts, and almonds.
Minimal Processing: Ingredients like oils are extracted through natural methods like cold-pressing.
Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly: Ingredients like decyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, and vegetable glycerin are biodegradable, making the product safer for the environment.

 

Purified Water

 

Water is a naturally occurring, universal solvent that’s purified to remove impurities and contaminants.
Source: Derived from municipal or natural sources and filtered to meet purity standards.
Purpose: Acts as the base for blending all other ingredients.

Organic Aloe Vera Barbadensis Leaf Juice

 

Aloe vera is a plant-based ingredient extracted directly from the gel inside aloe leaves. Organic certification ensures it’s grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides.
Source: Grown in tropical climates, particularly in regions like Mexico, the Caribbean, and India.
Purpose: Soothes, hydrates, and nourishes the skin with vitamins and antioxidants.

Decyl Glucoside

 

Decyl glucoside is a biodegradable, plant-derived surfactant made by combining sugar (glucose) from corn or wheat with fatty alcohols from coconut oil.
Source: Produced from renewable resources like corn or coconuts.
Purpose: A gentle cleanser that lifts dirt and oils without stripping skin.

Lauryl Glucoside

 

Similar to decyl glucoside, it’s made by reacting natural glucose from plants with fatty alcohols, usually derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil.
Source: Derived from plants like coconuts, wheat, or corn.
Purpose: Provides a mild foaming action that cleanses gently while enhancing lather.

Xanthan Gum

 

Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide (sugar-based molecule) created through the fermentation of sugar by a specific type of bacteria.
Source: Derived from fermented sugars such as corn or soy.
Purpose: Acts as a thickening agent to give the body wash a gel-like consistency.

Potassium Sorbate

 

Potassium sorbate is a salt of sorbic acid, which occurs naturally in some fruits like berries. While synthetically produced, it’s widely accepted as a safe, nature-identical preservative.
Source: Originally derived from the mountain ash tree’s berries; now produced synthetically for consistency.
Purpose: Prevents the growth of mold and bacteria to ensure product safety.

Sodium Benzoate

 

Sodium benzoate is a salt of benzoic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in fruits like cranberries, plums, and apples.
Source: Typically sourced from nature-identical processes for consistency.
Purpose: Acts as a preservative to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms.

Citric Acid

 

Citric acid is a weak organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits like lemons and limes. It’s produced commercially through fermentation of sugars.
Source: Naturally derived from citrus fruits or created by fermenting sugars like molasses.
Purpose: Balances the pH of the body wash to ensure it’s skin-friendly and gentle.

Vegetable Glycerin

 

Glycerin is a humectant naturally derived from vegetable oils like coconut, soybean, or palm oil through a process called hydrolysis.
Source: Extracted from plant oils (e.g., coconuts or soybeans).
Purpose: Attracts moisture to the skin, keeping it soft and hydrated.

Sweet Almond Oil

 

Cold-pressed from almonds, this oil is completely natural and free from additives.
Source: Extracted from almonds grown in regions like California and the Mediterranean.
Purpose: Moisturizes and nourishes the skin with vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids.

Argan Oil

 

Extracted from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows naturally in Morocco, this oil is minimally processed to retain its nutrients.
Source: Harvested from the argan tree, native to Morocco.
Purpose: Hydrates, softens, and protects the skin with antioxidants and essential fatty acids.

Coconut Oil

 

Extracted from the meat of mature coconuts, coconut oil is unrefined and naturally nourishing.
Source: Harvested from coconut palms, commonly found in tropical regions like Southeast Asia.
Purpose: Provides deep hydration and forms a light protective barrier on the skin.

Avocado Oil
Cold-pressed from the pulp of avocados, this oil retains its natural nutrients, making it highly moisturizing.
Source: Extracted from avocados grown in regions like Mexico and California.
Purpose: Replenishes dry skin with vitamins A, D, and E and healthy fatty acids.
