Isopropyl Palmitate is a palm oil-based emollient, moisturizer, thickening agent, and anti-static. Isopropyl Palmitate is a colorless, almost odorless liquid. It is used in cosmetics and personal care products. The Palmitate ingredients act as lubricants on the skin's surface, which gives the skin a soft and smooth appearance. Isopropyl Palmitate may be used as a binder which is an ingredient added to compounded dry powder mixtures of solids to provide adhesive qualities during and after.

2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, also known as Octyl Methoxycinnamate and octinoxate. This compound of the cInnamate group of chemicals absorbs light with a wavelength from 290nm to 320nm, in the UVB range. Although we cannot see ultra violet light, it is part of the sun's spectrum, so we are exposed to it every day. Ultra violet is the component of light that causes keratosis (tanning), erythema (reddening), sunburn, and melanoma. This is because, as the wavelength of UV light is shorter than that of the visible spectrum, it has more energy and therefore can burn our skin. Ultra violet light has been categorized into three main sections. The wavelenth of ultra violet light is shorter than that of the visible spectrum, and UVC is the shortest, and also the most dangerous of the three. UVC's wavelength is from 100nm to 290nm, and lucky for us, the ozone keeps all UVC light off the surface of the Earth. UVB light, responsible for sunburn, has a wavelength from 290nm to 320nm. Scientists have not yet determined the full effects of UVA light on our health, but it is under suspicion as a potential cancer-causing agent. It takes hundreds of thousands of times more UVA light than UVB light to achieve the equivalent skin damage. UVA light has a wavelength from 320nm to 400nm.

Rosehip Oil (Rosa Affinis Rubiginosa) contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase. This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater elasticity. Rosehip oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin. In particular, it is rich in linoleic and linolenic acids, which are important skin nutrients. The positive action of Rose Hip Oil in helping to regenerate damaged skin tissues is due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a natural state as part of a complex system of unsaturated essential fatty acids. Therefore, its action is controlled and slowly released by nature, eliminating the risk of overdoses. Scientific evidence has shown the properties of Rose Hip Oil in reducing dermal scars, the elimination of certain hyper pigmented spots and the lessening of wrinkles. Rose Hip Oil is very effective in halting and even reversing the effects produced by the sun on the skin

Cetyl Palmitate has similar properties to whale wax. Palmitic acid (also called hexadecanoic acid) constitutes between 20 and 30 percent of most animal fats and is also an important constituent of most vegetable fats (35 - 45 percent of palm oil). In cosmetics and personal care products, the Palmitates are used in a wide spectrum of products. Cetyl Palmitate is a Cetylated Fatty Acid.
