Paraffinum liquidum is the name of paraffin in liquid form, a highly refined mineral oil used as a softener in skin care formulations.

Hydrogenated polydecene, a natural product obtained chemically, i.e. synthesised through a hydrogenation process. Polydecene is a branched aliphatic solvent. Hydrocarbon surfactant with high surface tension acting as an emollient.

Microcrystalline wax, a purified product based on saturated hydrocarbons, used as an adhesive and emulsifying stabiliser often replacing paraffin wax as it has shown better elastic characteristics and less sticky adhesion.

Dimethicone It is a non-neurotoxic topical agent with an emulsifying function effective in the treatment of actinic keratoses on the face.

Panthenol, derived directly from vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid, it has favourable and lasting effects on barrier function and repair, as well as on skin hydration without adversely affecting bacterial viability in the skin microflora.

Avocado oil, Protective antioxidant agent that counteracts dehydration.

Glycerin Trivalent alcohol, hygroscopic. Glycerol is the trade name when the percentage of glycerol exceeds 95%, but the names are mostly used to identify the same product. Moisturising, lubricating, it is included in the formula with the aim of moisturising and softening the skin, preserving it from ageing or roughness.

Triacontanyl PVP. Viscosity control agent and film-forming agent, i.e. able to create a protective anti-wear and waterproof film.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter. is a butter obtained from the Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) native to Africa, and has been used to treat mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and as a decongestant.

Brassica campestris (Rapeseed) sterols. Plant sterols generally promote the regeneration of skin cells. In this formula, the sterols are from rapeseed.

Squalane is a bioactive substance, a saturated oil derivative of squalene that is found in shark liver oil, vegetable oils and human sebum. It is a very stable emollient and moisturising agent that has a remarkable ability to penetrate and impart flexibility to human skin and increase the absorption of other active substances.

Tocopheryl acetate. Powerful antioxidant, basically a synthesised vitamin E with proven efficacy in skin regeneration.

Ethylene/propylene copolymer, linear copolymer acting as a mild skin abrasive.

Polyquaternium-61, quaternary ammonium salt conditioning agent, humectant and antistatic, with high charge density and good stability.

Tocopherol Vitamin E antioxidant and skin conditioning agent.
