ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS
Purified Water +
is the most basic ingredient of many skincare formulas. Our skin is comprised mainly of water, and the purest water is essential for a balanced complexion. We use a state-of-the-art water filtration system that removes bacteria, fluoride, chlorine, arsenic, chloramines, herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, VOCs, organic solvents, and heavy metals that can be found in tap and regularly filtered water. The water in this formula helps balance and bind the varying levels of potency and astringency carried by No. 18’s botanicals, ensuring a superior cleanse for the complexion.
Saponified Organic Sunflower Oil +
is an especially gentle and delicate oil suited for every complexion. Its active omega-6 content combined with Vitamin E and Provitamin A soothes blemishes, redness and inflammation, and is unmatched at reducing dryness and signs of aging.
Saponified Organic Coconut Oil +
is protective, antimicrobial, and absorbs immediately to produce youthful, glowing, and hydrated skin. Heralded for its jack-of-all-trade uses when it comes to body care, this oil adds a subtle and pleasant aroma while its high saturated fat content evens skin tone and prevents moisture loss. It provides superior nourishment and emollience to skin.
Non-GMO + Organic Glycerin +
is a major player for retaining moisture to the skin. It is naturally humectant, not only helping to keep moisture from leaving the skin, but drawing even more moisture from the environment to keep cells hydrated. This process improves skin’s protective barrier function at its surface. No. 18 uses a blend of both Non-GMO Glycerin sustainably derived from Palm Kernel Oil and Organic Glycerin to deliver the best texture + results for skin.
Wildflower Raw Honey +
is raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized, pesticide and pesticide-residue free. Honey in its raw state is deeply rich in phytonutrients that are responsible for its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Translation? Raw Honey protects the complexion from cell damage that leads to premature aging and the breakdown of healthy skin function over time. It restores balance to skin while speeding tissue regeneration, promoting a lasting supple glow. Our Raw Honey is sourced from a family-owned apiary and produced by happy, healthy bees that pollinate in a pesticide-free and non-GMO environment.
Lavender Essential Oil +
is known for its healing and stress-relieving properties for mind and body, and it has the same effect on the complexion when applied topically. Both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, it calms and balances even the most sensitive of skin. No. 18’s Lavender Essential Oil is a blend of Lavender Grosso and Lavandin oils, providing skin with the deeply healing + unique benefits of each plant for excellent results.
Rosemary Extract +
contains natural antioxidant compounds that are beneficial to skin, and prevent oxidation of ingredients, thus maintaining their shelf life and efficacy for skin. It is naturally antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, protecting skin by preventing cellular damage.
