Glacial Clay & Pumice cleanser

Sunflower oil, Helianthus annus, - Origin: New Zealand

  • This multi purpose oil is used as the base for most of the White Cloud products.
  • It is nourishing, easily absorbed and is an excellent carrier oil to carry actives deep into the skin.
  • It is a good “all rounder” as it has a high content (up to 70%) of linoleic acid (Omega 6 essential fatty acid), (an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesised by the human body but needs to be added through diet or transepidermally) Linoleic acid as it maintains the skin barrier, protecting it from environmental damage.
  • It is a dryer oil so gives a lightness to creams, and leaves no sticky residue.

Olive oil, Olea Europa, Origin: NZ

  • Contains high levels of Vitamin E and Vitamin A
  • It is considered a “fatty” oil so is very good for dry skin.
  • Olive oil is great for a rinse of mask/ cleanser as it is oily and enlarges the pores, allowing the clay and pumice to clean.
  • The oil is considered an occlusive as it helps keep moisture in the skin.

 

Emulsifier HE20, Organic, Cetearyl glucoside & sorbitan olivate, Origin: NZ

  • This one pot emulsifier aids to mix the water and oil ingredients together to form one beautiful, glossy product.
  • Developed from natural ingredients, is PEG-free and without preservatives or additives.
  • It is a nonionic oil-in-water emulsifier, based on olive oil fatty acids which are known for their excellent compatibility with lipids present in skin.
  • Suitable for sensitive skincare products. The ability to form liquid crystal systems allows the making of products which are particularly compatible with the lipid structures of the skin.

Candelilla Wax, Euphorbia antisyphilitica, Origin: Mexico
