Key Ingredients
Shea Butter, Marula Oil, Avocado Oil, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Aloe Vera Extracts
Ingredients Details
Avocado Oil
Common Name(s): Avocado oil,avocado butter (solid fraction)
CAS Number: 8024-32-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep moisturization with rich oleic acid, phytosterols, and lutein antioxidants for mature, dry skin.
Why It's Used: Rich, deeply penetrating oil for dry and mature skin requiring intensive emolliency beyond lightweight oils.
How It Works: Very high oleic acid (55-74%) penetrates deeply into stratum corneum for conditioning. beta-sitosterol and other phytosterols provide barrier repair and mild anti-inflammatory activity. lutein provides antioxidant protection. high unsaponifiable fraction (2-11%) provides unique skin bioactives.
Typically Found In: Rich moisturizers,dry skin oils,anti-aging formulas,body butters
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Deep penetrating emollient,phytosterol activity,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ50%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from persea gratissima fruits
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Cold-pressed from avocado fruit flesh. high unsaponifiable fraction (unsaponified lipids) makes avocado oil uniquely bioactive vs other oils with low unsaponifiable content.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 3/5 โ moderate; high oleic acid; test for skin type
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Avocado oil's unusually high unsaponifiable fraction (2-11% vs <2% for most plant oils) contains phytosterols, terpenes, vitamin e, and chlorophyll that remain after saponification and provide skin-active benefits not present in most other plant oils. this unsaponifiable fraction is what makes avocado oil pharmacologically distinct from simple fatty acid triglyceride oils.

Hydrolyzed Soy Protein
Common Name(s): Hydrolysed protein,conditioning amino acid complex,film-forming active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Deposits a conditioning, moisture-retaining film on skin and hair from substantive protein-surface adsorption, delivers amino acids for sc keratin compatibility, and provides temporary firming from the protein film's tensile properties.
Why It's Used: Provides the conditioning benefits of structural proteins in a topically deliverable form โ molecular weight distribution determines whether surface film formation (high mw) or sc penetration with deeper conditioning (low mw <500 da) predominates.
How It Works: Low-mw protein hydrolysate fractions (<500 da) penetrate the sc via aqueous channels; high-mw fractions adsorb substantively to negative hair and skin surfaces through h-bonding and electrostatic interactions. film formation reduces tewl and provides mechanical smoothing.
Typically Found In: Hair conditioners,skin serums,conditioning
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ humectant
Secondary Functions: Tewl reduction,skin plumping
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%โ5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetic or naturally derived. excellent aqueous solubility.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Ceramides,emollients,occlusives,glycerin,hyaluronic acid
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Optimal hydrolysis degree for hair conditioning: mw 1,000โ5,000 da โ large enough for adsorption to hair cuticle, small enough to penetrate the cuticle surface and access cortex damage sites.

Marula Oil
Common Name(s): Marula oil,african marula seed oil
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides rapid-absorbing, lightweight emolliency with high oleic acid skin conditioning.
Why It's Used: Ultra-lightweight premium oil for rapid-absorbing facial care with a very high oleic acid percentage among plant oils.
How It Works: Exceptionally high oleic acid content (75-78%) provides deep skin conditioning and absorption. very high tocopherol content (480mg/100g) provides excellent oxidative stability and antioxidant activity. phenolic compounds provide additional antioxidant benefit.
Typically Found In: Premium facial oils,lightweight serums,anti-aging products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Rapid absorption,high tocopherol antioxidant
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care

Shea Butter
Common Name(s): Shea butter,karite butter
CAS Number: 91080-23-8
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides deep nourishing emolliency with anti-inflammatory cinnamic acid esters and a uniquely rich unsaponifiable fraction.
Why It's Used: The most nutritious plant butter โ unique cinnamic acid esters, lupeol, and rich unsaponifiable fraction provide anti-inflammatory and wound healing benefits beyond standard fatty acid emolliency.
How It Works: Cinnamic acid esters absorb uv radiation providing mild natural uv filtering (spf 3-4). lupeol inhibits nf-kb for anti-inflammatory activity. high stearic acid provides occlusive barrier function. rich unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%) provides phytosterols, tocopherols, and triterpenes for bioactive skin benefits.
Typically Found In: Body butters,rich moisturizers,baby products,hair conditioners,lip balms
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Cinnamic acid uv support,lupeol anti-inflammatory,rich emolliency

Vegan Status: Yes โ from butyrospermum parkii nuts
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Unrefined (raw) shea retains more unsaponifiable fraction and stronger natural scent/color. refined shea is odorless, white, and cleaner for formulation. certified fair trade supports west african women's cooperatives.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic (refined); 2/5 โ low (raw/unrefined)

Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Shea butter's unsaponifiable fraction (4-9%, vs coconut oil's 0.5% and olive oil's 1-2%) is exceptionally rich in triterpenes, phytosterols, and tocopherols. this fraction is responsible for shea's anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties that simple fatty acid analysis fails to reveal.
