SKIN SOOTHING SQUALANE (Sugar cane derived): A super-lightweight, non-greasy, quick absorbing, saturated oil, formed when squalene undergoes a hydrogenation process, which turns it into a stable, fully saturated oil with a long shelf life called squalane. The squalane used herein, is derived and created from sugar cane squalene. Squalane has been shown to have excellent irritation preventing properties. Clinically proven to be non-irritating, this non-comodogenic oil, it is particularly excellent for people with sensitive skin conditions, including acne, as it may be helpful in regulating excess oil production and may also be soothing for cracked, chapped, eczema prone skin.

However, this benefit should be attributed to the silk proteins, sericin and fibroin rather than the amino acids.

Bulgarian Rose Absolute in Jojoba: A delight for the senses, the natural scent of roses, helps support a calm and serene outlook. Carmine (Cochineal): Indigenous People in Mesoamerica, particularly the Aztec and Maya in Mexico (Puebla, Tlaxcala, Oaxaca), used cochineal as a dye source for centuries. They developed complex systems to breed, harvest, and process the insect for its vibrant red pigment, carminic acid. While it is not vegan, it has been used for centures as a dye for manuscripts, murals, cloth, feathers, cosmetics, food and medicine. It is prized as an alternative to synthetic, Petroleum derived colourant D&C Red 40.
