Composition

Glycerine
Glycerin (or glycerol) is obtained as a by-product in the saponification process of fats or by hydrolysis of the same: it is first concentrated and undergoes the purification process, with the removal of residual fatty acids and impurities. By virtue of its moisturizing, lubricating and emollient properties and its good tolerance towards the skin, glycerin is used in numerous formulations for dermo-cosmetic use. At low concentrations it is useful for preserving the product from dehydration, at high dosages it performs an excellent moisturizing and plasticizing activity against the epidermis and, if used in a high percentage within the product (over 40%), it can also perform a preservative activity. From a technological and dermatological point of view, glycerin is therefore to be considered a multifunctional and safe substance. The limit of glycerin is the sticky touch, higher than that of glycols, which increases proportionally to the concentration used in the formula.

Aloe
Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis or Aloe ferox Miller - Asphodelaceae family) is a plant native to Central America, Africa and the Mediterranean regions, used for millennia by ancient populations to treat various problems. It consists of four categories of components, which give the plant different and very important properties.

Thanks to the numerous chemical constituents of Aloe, the therapeutic effects are the result of the synergistic interaction of the active ingredients with receptive molecules of the human organism. Aloe therefore performs:

Oats
Avena Sativa is a herbaceous plant grown in Europe and North America. The extract is obtained from the caryopsis whose main components are starch, polysaccharides (present in the percentage of 45-50% including β-glucans and arabinoxylans), peptides and protein substances (gliadin, avenin, avenaline), steroidal saponins (avenacoside A and B), sterols (β-sitosterol, d-5-avenasterol), amines, mineral salts (iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium) and vitamins (B1, B2 and B12).
These active ingredients are useful in protecting the skin, counteracting the signs of aging and stimulating skin renewal. In particular, beta-glucan, a high molecular weight hydrocolloid, has a marked ability to bind water and transfer it to the horny layer of the epidermis alongside a good protective action of the skin against chemical and physical irritants thanks to its high film-forming power. Furthermore, when applied to the skin surface, it gives the skin a pleasantly soft and velvety touch. Finally, in recent studies, an effective inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase, an endogenous enzyme capable of generating hydrogen peroxide and free radicals by transformation of the xanthine substrate into uric acid, has been demonstrated for beta-glucan. Among the other compounds of Oats, avenanthramides have a redness-relieving and anti-itching activity. By virtue of these characteristics and thanks to its high skin compatibility, Oat extracts are very interesting ingredients for the formulation of products intended for children's skin and delicate and easily reddening scalps as well as for skin with a tendency to acne and hyperseborrhea, in anti-aging products, in pre and after sun preparations and in all cosmetics with a protective and skin repairing action. Thanks to its moisturizing and soothing properties, moreover, Oats are often added to cleansing products (soaps, bath preparations, etc.) to make them better tolerated by the skin.

Chamomile
Chamomile, or Matricaria Recutita, belongs to the Asteraceae (Composite) family and is currently widespread throughout Europe, America and Australia. It boasts spasmolytic (for internal use) and soothing (for external use) properties.
Chamomile is characterized by hydrophilic and lipophilic constituents, which give it different typical properties. Among the hydrophilic components are mentioned flavonoids, glycosylated coumarins and phenolic acids which, extracted with aqueous solvent, give the extract spasmolytic, sedative and antioxidant properties. In particular, the anxiolytic property is due to the presence of a flavonoid molecule called apigenin 7-glucoside. The lipophilic components are represented by terpenes including monoterpenes (bisabolol) and cyclic ethereal sesquiterpenes), coumarins and azulenes (chamazulenes) which give the extract a typical blue color: these constituents contribute to the formation of an essential oil that boasts antiseptic, anti-inflammatory properties and soothing. The soothing action in the cleanser is useful for eliminating those annoying sensations of local dryness present especially in menopause.

Malaleuca
From the leaves of a plant native to Australia, Melaleuca alternifolia, a precious essential oil is extracted by steam distillation, also known as Tea Tree Oil, very effective against some ailments, especially affecting the skin. The leaves of plants that grow spontaneously in some forests of Australia have a high content of terpinol-4, the main active component of tea tree oil, and a low content of 1,8-cineole (irritant for skin and mucous membranes). . The essential oil of tea tree has in fact marked antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties and for this reason it is a widely used ingredient in cosmetic products, creams, lotions, ointments and soaps.
Tea tree essential oil has a significant antifungal and antibacterial activity, in particular against streptococci, fungi and candida, habitual and occasional host microorganisms of the skin and mucous membranes. It is particularly effective in many skin diseases such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and in many genitourinary infections such as chronic cystitis and vaginitis. It also has excellent absorption and is not irritating.

Lactic acid
Lactic acid is an organic acid belonging to the category of alpha hydroxy acids, substances capable of breaking the bonds that are created between keratinocytes, favoring skin peeling, even up to the deeper layers of the epidermis. In fact, lactic acid has properties of skin exfoliating, humectant and pH regulator.
As a skin exfoliant, lactic acid is used at a maximum concentration of 10% in cosmetic products and at a pH above 3.5. It can be used, under medical supervision, in topical treatments against aging, and in this case the dosage can reach 30% and the final product must have a pH higher than 3.

Climbazole
Climbazole is an active ingredient with antibacterial and antifungal activity.

Dimethicone
Dimethicone belongs to the family of silicones, organic derivatives of silicon, characterized by the presence of the oxygen-silicon bond, a stable and chemically inert bond. They are photostable, colorless and odorless substances. The term Dimethicone identifies a category of substances, polydimethylsiloxanes, fully methylated linear polymers that differ in chain length and molecular weight. Low molecular weight Dimethicones appear as low viscous oils and are characterized by a dry and silky texture. Conversely, those with high molecular weight appear as viscous oils and have film-forming properties. The stability of the silicon-oxygen bond makes all silicones chemically little reactive and this also determines the very poor biodegradability of these compounds.
Dimethicones are used in the preparation of a large variety of cosmetic formulations for their texturizing properties, as anti-foaming agents (from 0.5%), for the barrier effect (above 3%) and to give water resistance to solar products. Dimethicone is not very compatible with vegetable oils. From a toxicological point of view they are non-irritating and non-sensitizing substances, therefore safe for cosmetic use.
