Ingredients

Silicones are synthetic compounds used in many skincare and hair products. They're popular because they can make a product feel silky-smooth and help it spread easily. They can also create a protective barrier on the skin.

In skincare, oils are concentrated extracts from plants that are full of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. They are used to moisturize, nourish, and protect the skin.

BHAs, or Beta Hydroxy Acids, are a type of acid most known for their ability to exfoliate inside the pores. The most common BHA is salicylic acid, and it's a superstar ingredient for treating acne, blackheads, and oily skin.

Sulfates are salts of sulfuric acid commonly used in shampoos, soaps, and cleansers. They are surfactants that create the rich lather we associate with a deep clean.

Preservatives in cosmetics are ingredients that prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold. They are essential for keeping products safe to use and extending their shelf life.
