Tea Tree Oil

  1. Treats Acne

Tea tree oil is antibacterial in nature and has anti-inflammatory properties too. These two characteristics are majorly responsible for treating acne. First, the oil reduces the inflammation due to acne and then soothes the skin. The antibacterial element of the oil kills the acne bacteria and the skin starts recovering.

  1. Reduce Skin Dryness

One of the benefits of tea tree oil for skin is gaining smooth skin texture. It reduces dryness when used on a daily basis. Tea tree oil works as a soothing element for dry and irritated skin. It deeply moisturizes your skin and reduces flakiness.

When applied to oily skin, salicylic acid breaks down fatty compounds such as the skin’s sebum or natural oils. This helps clear out excess oils from the skin.

  1. Shrinks Large Pores

By tightening skin and reducing oiliness, salicylic acid shrinks large pores. Its astringent properties work in minimizing large pores which gives skin a smooth appearance.

  1. Promotes Anti-Aging

Salicylic acid increases cell turnover, which speeds up the rate at which skin grows. This enables fast repair of damaged skin cells and increases collagen production which makes skin smooth and youthful.

Glycerin

1: Strengthens Your Skin’s Barrier Function: By intensely hydrating your skin, it helps protect your skin from harsh ingredients, prevents irritation, and also restores and strengthens your skin’s barrier.

2: Moisturizes The Skin: Glycerin is an excellent moisturizer that works in unison with other ingredients.

3: Prevents Moisture Loss: It locks in the moisture and keeps skin hydrated for longer. Products that contain glycerin sit on the top layer of the skin and support your skin’s barrier, preventing any water that’s in the skin from escaping.

4: Adds a Glow: Due to its hydrating properties, glycerin has the ability to improve complexion, adding a natural glow to your skin. It’s non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog your pores either, making it safe to use for acne-prone skin.

5: Protects The Skin: When glycerin strengthens the skin barrier, it also protects it against any harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin.

Propylene Glycol

1: It’s a preservative: Propylene glycol can help lengthen the shelf life of skin care products thanks to antimicrobial properties that help prevent the overgrowth of microorganisms. This helps preserve the products.

2: It’s a humectant: At low levels, propylene glycol is often used to improve moisturizing benefits of a skin care product. Humectants pull water into the skin and help keep it there for more supple, hydrated skin. That’s why propylene glycol is often used in moisturizing formulations.

3: It makes other ingredients more effective: Active ingredients can better penetrate the skin, and serum may work well because of the benefits of this additive.

 

Phenoxyethanol

  1. Effective Preservative: Phenoxyethanol is widely used in skincare products as an effective preservative.
  2. Gentle On the Skin: Unlike some other preservatives, phenoxyethanol is generally considered gentle on the skin. It’s less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions compared to more aggressive preservatives, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin.
  3. Enhances Product Texture: Phenoxyethanol contributes to the smooth and pleasant texture of many facial products. It helps in creating lightweight formulations that are easy to apply and absorb quickly into the skin.
  4. Improves Product Stability: By preventing microbial growth, phenoxyethanol significantly improves the stability of facial products. This means that the active ingredients in your skincare formulations remain potent and effective for longer periods.
  5. Versatile In Formulations: Phenoxyethanol’s versatility allows it to be used in a wide variety of facial products, including creams, serums for dry skin or any other skin type, cleansers, and masks.
  6. Helps Balance pH Levels: Phenoxyethanol is effective across a wide pH range, which helps in maintaining the optimal pH balance of facial products.
  7. Contributes to a longer shelf life: The preservative properties of phenoxyethanol significantly extend the shelf life of facial products. This means you can safely use your skincare items for longer periods without worrying about degradation or contamination. A longer shelf life also reduces waste and can be more cost-effective in the long run.
