Ingredients

Water

Carrier

Provides a liquid base for a product.

Isoparaffin

Carrier

Isoparaffin is a carrier that can also be found in cosmetics. A carrier does just what it sounds like -- it helps carry a product to a surface by thinning or thickening the formula or simply by ensuring the even distribution of the other ingredients in the formula. We use isoparaffin because, without a carrier, the product would not work with the same consistency across a surface.

Dimethicone

Film Former

Dimethicone is a silicone film former that can also be found in skin lotions, bath soaps, and shampoos. Sometimes referred to as “silicone oil,” dimethicone is the most widely used silicone polymer and is particularly known for its ability to smoothly coat a surface and leave it protected, without being sticky. In products that are applied to the skin, dimethicone can also be used as an emollient that helps soften and smooth the skin. In household products, it creates a protective coating or shine on a surface. In our products to protect leather, it helps increase the gloss. Dimethicone also can be a moisturiser. As a moisturiser, it helps prevent a product or surface, like leather, from drying out by helping it retain moisture. This makes it softer and more pliable.

Sorbitan Oleate

Emulsifier

Sorbitan Oleate is an emulsifier that can also be found in moisturisers, hair-styling products, and soaps. It helps bind ingredients together and keep a formula from separating. In fragranced products, it also helps ensure the even distribution of the fragrance. We add emulsifiers to our products where needed to ensure that our products provide the same performance, use after use.

Nitrogen

Propellant

Nitrogen is a propellant used to dispense a product from a container. Nitrogen is a non-flammable, non-VOC compressed gas. It makes up more than 75% of the air we breathe.

Glycerin

Stabiliser

Glycerin is a moisturiser that can also be found in personal care products, such as skin lotion. It works by drawing water in and forming a barrier on a surface to help retain moisture. We use glycerin in products to prevent the product from drying out and breaking apart.

Bronopol

Preservative

Bronopol is a preservative that can also be found in shampoos, skin care products and makeup. It helps maintain product quality and performance over time. Some people raise concerns about preservatives because a small number of individuals have allergies to them, just as some people have allergies to nuts or bees. But preservatives play a very important role in food, cosmetics, and household products. Without preservatives, many products would not last more than a week or two before being contaminated by bacteria, mould or yeast. So, we feel that the best choice is to add preservatives in the smallest effective quantity to protect our products, but also to list these preservatives in our formulas so that those with allergies in the family can make informed choices.
