Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice a.k.a Organic Aloe Vera
Aloe is an ingredient that many of us are familiar with in terms of the way that it works to help soothe the skin after a sunburn.The is exactly the reason we’ve chosen this ingredient to be a great addition to our sunless tanning solution! According to Baylor College of Medicine, Aloe Vera provides healing anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants, enzymes, as well as vitamins A and C. This ingredient was a perfect fit for helping to add moisture while giving an overall smooth feel and appearance to the skin. The antioxidants that are naturally occurring in aloe also help reduce signs of aging! Anything we can do to provide products that fight fine lines and wrinkles is a win in our book!
-
Caprylic Triglyceride
Although this ingredient is a little less recognizable as Aloe Vera, if you’ve ever worked in the cosmetics industry, you may recognize Caprylic Triglyceride as an emollient that is often used in makeup and skincare products. This ingredient is typically chosen in the cosmetic and esthetics industry because it interacts well with other ingredients and is safe from creating skin reactions for the majority of people. According to an interview on Byrdie done with dermatologist Ife Rodney, Caprylic Triglyceride is derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil and combined with glycerine. Some of the benefits of this well-rounded ingredient include being a smoothing and moisturizing agent to the skin and providing antioxidants that reduce the signs of aging skin. In addition to those benefits, due to the antimicrobial properties of coconut oil, this ingredient helps to rebalance the microbiome of the skin while intervening in bacteria growth.
-
Hyaluronic Acid
This ingredient may be at the top of the list of all time favorites that we’ve included in this list of high quality naturally derived ingredients formulated for Obsidian Sunless. Did you know that Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient that is already naturally produced by our bodies to retain moisture? We like to think of Hyaluronic Acid as an extra quench of hydration to the skin. Since this acid acts as a moisturizer for dry and depleted skin, it also has age fighting benefits that help reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, according to Healthline.com.
You may have caught on to a couple recurring themes with the ingredients that were chosen for Obsidian Sunless. You guessed it!
