True Botanicals

Ingredients

• Camellia sinensis (green and white tea) leaf extract*

  Green and White Tea leaves contain the potent antioxidant catechins which protect your skin, scalp and hair from the oxidative stress that accompanies sun exposure. Green Tea has been shown to prevent the damage associated with skin cancer, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Tea polyphenols have natural astringent, toning, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties and prevent the enzymes that attack and break down your body's natural production of collagen and elastase.

• Glycerin (vegetable glycerin)*

  Derived from plant seed oils like coconut, or non-GMO soy, Glycerin delivers a whole lotta goodness to our skin. A humectant and an emollient, Glycerin helps maintain water balance on an intercellular level and works to make skin moist, soft and smooth. Glycerin also promotes skin matriculation and gives your skin cells the little boost they need.

• Water

• Camellia oleifera (green tea) seed oil*

  Emollient, nutritive and rich in antioxidants, this oil actually dissolves the oil complex that holds dead skin cells together. Part exfoliant, part lubricant, it reduces flaking and improves texture.

• Sucrose cocoate (from sugar beet & coconut)

  We use Sucrose Cocoate in our cleansers to give them a little lather but we love this ingredient for its naturally humectant properties. A hydrophilic emollient and moisturizer derived from sugar beets and coconut oil, Sucrose Cocoate is a total superstar when it comes to hydrating and renewing your skin

• Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (from coconut)

  Behind every great lather is a great surfactant. Unlike many shampoos, ours is naturally derived (from coconut) and gives a luxurious lather while offering excellent cleansing and moisturizing properties.

• Salix nigra (black willow) bark extract*

  Meet the original salicylic acid, straight from nature herself. Unlike its less expensive, synthetically derived counterpart, it exfoliates skin without irritation or sensitivity.

• Xanthan gum

  A plant-based thickening and emulsifying agent, Xanthan Gum adds volume and density to our products.

• Phenethyl alcohol**

  Finding a preservative system that will withstand the test of time without risk to human health is a challenge. Derived from rose, Phenethyl Alcohol is just that and is used to preserve the integrity of our ingredients.

• Ethylhexylglycerin**

  Ethylhexylglycerin is considered to be one of the safest preservatives available that prevents the growth of bacteria without affecting the beneficial flora of the skin.

• Lavandula hybrida (lavender) oil*

  Used by the Ancient Egyptians and the Romans in perfumes and baths, Lavender is one of the most ancient essential oils in the world. Its delicate yet confident scent has an overall calming effect known to induce relaxation, uplift the mood, and combat anxiety and insomnia.

• Helichrysum splendidum (helichrysum) flower oil

  Leave it to nature to create a stunning contradiction like the Helichrysum. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties have been used for centuries to fight infection, but it's also a soothing anti-inflammatory that heals wounds and minimizes scarring.

• Citric acid

  Citric acid helps to preserve a formula by preventing the growth of bacteria. Although it can be obtained from a variety of sources, ours is derived from non-GMO cassava root.

• Daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil*

  This powerhouse of the plant world is prized for its ability to regenerate skin tissues. A natural cold press method allows us to extract the maximum amount of its vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and F, so each drop is dense with antioxidants that protect your skin cells from the harsh, cruel world and bring back its tone, elasticity and tightness.
