Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is an ester form of salicylic acid which is a BHA and it works as an exfoliant. Salicylic acid is also used as to improve skin thickness and collagen production. This ester form is used as a skin conditioning agent that works by enhancing the appearance of damaged skin by removing dead cells, especially dryness as it reduces the flaking and restores the elasticity. Because of this, CSA is used in anti-aging, whitening, anti-acne and anti-wrinkle cosmetic formulations. Additionally, this analog is used as a preservative and has been categorized as an exfoliant, an anti-inflammatory and an antimicrobial. As a keratolytic agent, it exfoliates the skin by causing the cells of the epidermis (upper layer of skin) to shed more easily, making room for new cell growth. Higher concentrations (8-12%) of topically applied CSA can effectively remove warts. Studies have documented concentrations as low as 2% to improve skin thickness, collagen production, wrinkling, roughness and hyperpigmentation over a time period of just 6 months. A study showed a significant improvement in wrinkles in 41% of the subjects who regularly used a CSA peel, and a substantial lightening of hyperpigmentation in 46% of the CSA users (compared to only 31% and 34%, respectively, for those who used glycolic peels). Unlike alpha hydroxyl acids, which are water soluble, beta hydroxyl acids (and its esters) are lipid (oil) soluble. This means that they not only exfoliate the upper layer of skin, but also penetrate deep through the epidermis to exfoliate the dead skin cells and excess oil built up in the pores. For this reason, CSA acid is frequently used to treat blackheads, whiteheads and acne. Yet its keratolytic ability is not the only reason for why it is so often administered to treat blemishes and breakouts. This ingredient also functions as both an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent, making it an ideal anti-acne ingredient. While many other exfoliants (i.e. AHA’s) often irritate the skin, salicylic acid does just the opposite by reducing inflammation.

iLIPID™ WALNUT
  • INCI Name:Olus Oil, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Seed Oil, Tocopherol
  • Functions:Anti-Inflammatory, Carrier, Smoothing Agent, Moisturizing Agent, Nourishing Agent, Protective Agent
  • Labeling Claims:Ulta Beauty's Conscious Beauty
iLipid Walnut is a Refined Vegetable Oil that improves the intrinsic properties of Walnut oil creating a more functional vegetable oil. iLipid Walnut has the fatty acid composition as inferred by the Walnut Oil. The physical characteristics have been improved resulting in minimal color level and a virtually odorless vegetable oil. iLipid Walnut exhibits greater stability over time compared to Walnut oil due to the addition of natural Tocopherols. The Walnut tree is original from the Middle East; it is thought to have been imported from Iran to Western Europe. Walnut has been widely applied in diets and cooking due to its ability to replenish vital energy and nourish the blood. iLipid Walnut is high in polyunsaturated fats. It contains about 20% Oleic acid and 60% Linoleic acid (Omega 6). Walnuts are the only nuts that contain a significant amount of Omega 3 (α-Linolenic acid). Omega 3 has an anti-inflammatory effect and it helps to maintain a supple and youthful skin. iLipid Walnut also contains natural Vitamin E. In its role as a captor of free radicals, vitamin E protects cells from attacks by free radicals by neutralizing them. Topical vitamin E has shown to have a wide variety of skin benefits. Many studies have shown that it can help decrease the effects of psoriasis, erythema, and may help in reducing the risk of skin cancer. Vitamin E also helps in the reduction of scaring from wounds and on the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. iLipid Walnut is highly hydrating and nourishing due to the Omega 6 content.
