INGREDIENTS

MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE 

Magnesium is a vital mineral for our lives. Necessary for over 300 enzymatic functions in our bodies. Essential for almost every organ and body system to maintain optimal physiologic function. It is necessary for over 300 enzymatic functions in our bodies which regulate multiple systems including a regular heart rhythm, strong skeletal development, maintenance of musculature and nervous system, protein synthesis, healthy digestion and metabolism, including regulation of blood sugar. Important for: Nerve function, Muscle function, Heart function, Protein synthesis, Bone development, DNA and RNA synthesis, Calcium and potassium absorption/transport. About one third to half of the population is deficient in Magnesium! A high stress lifestyle, unhealthy diet and some medications can all affect magnesium levels in the body. The human body contains about 20-28 grams of magnesium. 59% is stored in bone, about 40% is in soft tissue and musculature and only 1% is found circulating in the blood stream. It is very easily absorbed through the skin, but without greasy or sticky sensation.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Caprylic Capric Triglycerides are a specific fraction of coconut / palm oil fatty acids resulting in only the more stable, and skin loving, caprylic & capric fatty acids which creates a dry, silky oil form of esters. Caprylic Capric Triglycerides are produced by the esterification of glycerol (plant sugars) with mixtures of caprylic (C:8) and capric (C:10) fatty acids from coconut or palm kernel oils.  The special combination, and esterification, are responsible for the silky oil feel. This is a specialized process used to achieve the skin benefits of the specific fatty acid esters that also results in superior oxidative stability, low color, and odor, as it is then further refined to remove residual fatty acids resulting in a pure ester, with a silky oil feel, that is a great choice for sensitive skin and oil free applications.

STEARYL ALCOHOL

Stearyl alcohol is a organic fatty alcohol derived from coconut oil, used as an emollient and to help keep other ingredients intact in a formulation.

Maranta Arundinacea Root Powder / Arrowroot

It is generally used as a substitute for cornstarch, which is highly processed and difficult to source in non-GMO varieties. Arrowroot powder may be used as a thickening agent for gourmet dishes, and is well known for its use in crystal clear fruit glazes and jellies. Because Arrowroot powder thickens at lower temperatures than other vegetable starches, it is far less likely to burn, and it will thicken even in the presence of acidic fruits, making it the thickener of choice for fruit glazes. Arrowroot powder can also be used as a base for some of your body care formulations and it is the main ingredient for most body powders.
