No Parabens!

Parabens are synthetic preservatives that prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold, but may disrupt hormones in the body because they mimic the effects of estrogen.

No Petrolatum or Mineral Oils!

Petrolatum jelly and mineral oil are not water-soluble and can create an occlusive barrier on the skin’s surface. That barrier causes pores to become suffocated and traps dirt and oils, which may lead to acne.

The barrier also prevents the absorption of beneficial ingredients as well.

No Propylene Glycol!

Propylene Glycol is used as a skin-conditioning agent which absorbs moisture but allows pollutants from the air to penetrate the skin.

No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate!

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant that works as a detergent and foaming agent. It alters the skin's barrier function by stripping away natural oils and allowing the skin to lose moisture which may cause itchiness and irritation.
