• Sodium Cocoamphoacetate Sodium Cocoamphoacetate is a plant origin surfactant based on coconut oil fatty acids. This harmless and hypoallergenic ingredient is widely used in "green cosmetics" instead of aggressive synthetic surfactants. It has very mild detergent properties, promotes foaming, and gives a delicate texture to cosmetic products. As part of hair care products, it not only delicately removes dirt but also acts as a conditioner. It restores damaged hair structure, improves elasticity, moisturizes, enhances shine, and makes styling easier. When contacted with the skin, it gently cleans it, promotes deeper penetration of the active components of cosmetics into the horny layer of the skin. It forms an invisible lubricant film on the skin surface, which protects against dehydration and adverse effects of the external environment and ideal for all skin types, susceptible and problem skin.
• Palm Kernel/Coco Glucoside Coco-Glucoside is a very delicate, non-ionic surfactant derived from plant ingredients. It is produced by fermenting coconut pulp (or coconut oil) and fruit sugar (glucose). Coco-Glucoside is used as a cleaning agent, foaming agent, emulsifier, and conditioner in natural cosmetics. As a part of a whole range of cosmetics, e.g., shampoo, shower gel, bath foam, liquid soap, facial foam, it helps to mix water and oil components, gently removes dirt, and creates soft, lush foam. Due to its mild effect, Coco-Glucoside is an ideal ingredient in cosmetics for sensitive and children's skin. It moisturizes and cares, making the skin smooth and hair - radiant and silky. It is an ecologically friendly and completely biodegradable product.
• Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate It is a mild surfactant of plant origin, obtained by synthesizing glutamic acid and coconut oil fatty acids. The importance of glutamic acid for the body is difficult to overestimate: it promotes the production of histamine and serotonin, neutralizes and removes ammonia and other toxins from the body; in addition, it is a neurotransmitter, participating in the process of transmission of nerve impulses in the brain. Glutamic acid is indispensable for skin health and normal functioning:
  - It stimulates cellular regeneration, microcirculation, and collagen synthesis.
  - It strengthens the protective layer of the epidermis and hair.
  - It moisturizes, cleans, and narrows the pores.
  This amino acid hAs an antioxidant, healing, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory effect. It softens the skin and increases its elasticity. It is used as a foaming agent, mild detergent, and emulsifier in cosmetic products, such as facial foam cleansers, shampoos, hair conditioners, and cosmetics for kids. Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate slows the oxidation of lipids of the skin and maintains its protective functions. It normalizes the pH level, gives the skin softness, silky smoothness, gently cleanses impurities, and creates an invisible protective film on the surface of the epidermis, preventing evaporation of moisture. Due to its antibacterial properties, this eco-friendly and biodegradable ingredient reduces the number of preservatives in cosmetics.
• Decyl Glucoside The mild non-ionic surfactant is prepared from coconut fatty acids.
  Ideal for children's sensitive skin. Its composition has active ingredients that soften skin effectively and possess good foaming properties.
• Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate is a multifunctional surfactant of plant origin. It is most commonly derived from fermented sugar beets, vegetable oil, and palm sugar. In chemistry, it is the ester of the sodium salt of stearic and lactic acid; it is used in detergents, various shampoos, cosmetic creams, and food. This additive is harmless to human health, both for internal and external use. Clinical studies have recognized this substance as non-toxic and hypoallergenic because both lactic and stearic acids are the usual products of human metabolism. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate acts as an emulsifier; it helps otherwise immiscible ingredients, such as oil and water, to mix. In addition, it promotes deeper penetration of the active cosmetic components into the skin, and it also is an excellent emollient and moisturizer.
• Lactobacillus/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate How nice to pick the bright and juicy radishes straight from the garden on a hot summer day and make a crispy, healthy salad! Do you know that eco-cosmetics manufacturers use fermented red radish filtrate as a safe alternative to invasive synthetic preservatives? This natural herbal preparation, known in International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) as Lactobacillus/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, is produced by Lactobacillus lactic-acid bacterium during the fermentation of the red radishes. This process is identical to the fermentation of, for example, sauerkraut or kimchi. Lactic-acid bacteria, being placed into a particular nutritional medium, produce unique self-defense antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins. Due to the acidification of their environment, they prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold in the final product. It provides a broad spectrum of antimicrobial protection. This natural preservative has a very mild effect, it does not dry nor irritate the epidermis, and it’s suitable even for sensitive baby skin.
• Lactobacillus/Coconut Fruit Juice Ferment Filtrate A sip of fresh coconut juice on a hot tropical afternoon – that is the heavenly delight! Refreshing and gentle as a cool sea breeze, coconut juice instantly quenches thirst and rejuvenates the body. Its’ high nutritional value and energizing effect are owing to its unique combination of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. Functional properties of coconut juice do not end there: researchers have found that fermented coconut juice can maintain the freshness of natural cosmetics. This natural preservative, obtained by fermentation of coconut juice by Lactobacillus bacteria, protects cosmetic compositions from the growth of fungi, yeasts, and molds. Such decisive antimicrobial action is based on the alliance of triglycerides of lauric acid contained in coconuts and lactic acid bacteria, which produce particular substances that inhibit the growth of microorganisms. In addition, as a cosmetic ingredient, fermented coconut juice moisturizes and nourishes the skin, saturating it with valuable micronutrients. It is ideal for sensitive skin prone to irritation, as its soft formula does not dry the epidermis.
• Vegetable Glycerin Our glycerin derived from coconut oil has nothing to do with glycerin obtained by chemical synthesis. Hypoallergenic with good skin penetration are all essential qualities: attracts water from the outside, even at relatively low humidity.

• Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract (Soapwort) What would you do if you run out of shampoo, soap, or detergent? The simplest solution is to go to the store and buy a new one from the assortment of dozens (if not hundreds) of items. But how did our great-great-grandparents deal with their daily washing and personal hygiene issues? A plant, a mere flower commonly found in the vast area from Western Europe to Siberia, helped them over. Today we call it the soapwort, and the Latin name of this humble perennial flower, Saponaria officinalis, comes from the word "Sapo", which means soap. Decoction of the soapwort roots back in the Middle Ages was used for body and hair care and laundry soap for costly textile and clothes made of silk and delicate fabrics. The active substances in its composition are triterpene saponins. They provide foaming, and also they have antioxidant, antiviral, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties. In natural cosmetics, the soapwort extract acts as a surfactant with a powerful but very gentle effect. It carefully removes dirt, creates a lush foam, rejuvenates the skin, restores the protective functions of the epidermis, improves the complexion, gives the skin freshness and silky smoothness, improves microcirculation in the epidermis, and decreases the probability of allergic reactions.

Its effective but delicate cleansing combined with a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect helps fight acne and dermatitis on blemish-prone skin and oily hair.
• Sucrose Cocoate Sucrose Cocoate is a polysaccharide, a derivative of sucrose esters and coconut oil fatty acids. It is obtained from natural sugar (most commonly cane or beet sugar) and coconut oil. This substance has become widespread in "green" cosmetics due to its very gentle and delicate action. In the composition of hair-care products, Sucrose Cocoate has conditioning and antistatic effect. It promotes smooth combing, making your hair silky and shiny. In body and facial creams, lotions, and cleansers, prevents skin dryness and peeling. In addition, it softens, relieves itching, and soothes the skin. Moisturizing benefits are provided due to the properties of polysaccharides. In connection with water, they form an invisible film on the surface of the skin or hair with high moisture retention capacity. As an auxiliary component, Sucrose Cocoate acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer, mixing the oil components with water and preventing the separation of the emulsion created by it. It also promotes the formation of thick but soft and gentle foam and increases the viscosity of cosmetic products. As a natural emollient and refatting component, it provides an accelerated recovery of the skin barrier after cleansing; it prevents the removal of vital structural lipids from the epidermis; gives the skin and hair a well-groomed appearance, smoothness, elasticity, and silky smoothness. It is a completely biodegradable product.
• Coco-Caprylate (Coco Silicone) Coco-Caprylate is a natural emollient, the ideal ingredient for creating the "green" cosmetic formulas without harmful synthetic silicones. Chemically, emollients are lipoids; in other words, these substances (such as natural oils, lipids, fatty alcohols, waxes, esters) resemble fat. Due to their action, cosmetics distribute over the skin smoothly. The skin absorbs it faster, leaving a pleasant, velvety feeling. However, all emollients are different. Using in cosmetic products only natural emollients of plant origin is highly important. In other cases, the risk of irritation, skin flaking, comedones' appearance, and allergic reactions can occur. Coco-caprylate is an ecologically and health-friendly product obtained from coconut oil. Helpful fatty acids in their composition soften, nourish, and moisturize the skin and hair, with no greasy nor heavy feeling. In the composition of shampoos, facial and body creams, lotions, and makeup, coco-caprylate acts as a conditioner; it gives the skin a well-groomed appearance and makes hair silky and shiny. It creates an invisible protective barrier on the surface, which prevents the evaporation of moisture. At the same time, coco-caprylate is biocompatible with skin lipids. It does not clog pores and does not interfere with natural oxygen metabolism.
• Sorbitol Many people know that sorbitol is a healthy substitute for regular sugar in diet beverages and food. However, this substance is also widely used in cosmetics: shampoos and hair conditioners, body and facial creams, aftershave lotions, toothpaste, and soaps. Sorbitol is a natural substance found in starchy berries and fruits: rowanberries, plums, apples, pears, peaches, and some types of seaweed. For industrial purposes, the most common natural source is corn or tapioca.
  In its chemical composition, sorbitol is a polyatomic sugar alcohol. One of the most exciting properties of sorbitol is hygroscopicity, that is, the ability to derive water from the environment. Sorbitol retains water on the surface of the epidermis, helping the skin maintain its moisture reserves. It is best performing in conjunction with other moisturizing ingredients in a cosmetic composition. In addition, it prevents premature hardening and drying of cosmetics. Sorbitol softens and moisturizes the skin, removes peeling, and prevents inflammation. As an ingredient in shampoo, it cares for thin and damaged hair, improves their condition, and returns shine. It has excellent conditioning properties.
  Also, sorbitol can act as a natural thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, improving the texture of cosmetic products, giving them softness, velvetiness, and a pleasant sweet fragrance.
• Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride For many thousands of years, an annual legume known worldwide as guar or cluster bean has been harvested in India and Pakistan. In ancient times, guar seeds have been used for food due to their high nutritional value. In modern industry, this plant is more valued as a source of guar gum. It is obtained from the internal part of the seeds, called endosperm, by simple mechanical grinding, without any chemical processes. Chemically, guar gum is a polysaccharide, and a key role in its composition is galactomannan – a substance that creates a thick, viscous gel upon contact with water. Such gels in the cosmetic and food industry are called hydrocolloids; they are safe for human health with proper application. In cosmetics, guar gum acts as a stabilizer, thickener, and co-emulsifier. In emulsions, it helps to mix and stabilize water and oil base, gives a delicate creamy texture, regulates the viscosity, and has light preservative properties. In facial and body creams and lotions, guar gum cleanses, moisturizes, and softens the skin, creating a thin protective film on the surface of the epidermis. As a result, the amount of evaporated moisture decreases, and skin looks deliciously well-groomed and silky. In shampoos and hair conditioners, guar gum protects the horny layer of the skin from the aggressive action of surfactants, preventing the elution of organic lipids. Also, guar gum acts as an antistatic agent, foaming agent, and natural conditioner, giving the hair smoothness, volume, easy combing, and styling. Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (GHPT) is a guar gum derivative with the same set of beneficial properties. It is a safe, eco-friendly, utterly biodegradable substance of plant origin.
