Ingredients
Every ingredient on our labels, what it is, what it does in the formula, and which products contain it.
Functions are the cosmetic functions declared for each ingredient in the European Union's CosIng database (fragrance, skin conditioning, emollient, humectant, cleansing and so on). They describe what the ingredient does in the product, not what the product does for you. The full INCI list for each product is on its product page; the label is always the final word.
