Key data
No CAS number, and none is expected: this is a botanical or biological preparation rather than a single compound, and CAS numbers identify single substances. Identity rests on the source organism and the supplier specification.
- ANTIOXIDANT
- Inhibiting reactions promoted by oxygen, thus avoiding oxidation and rancidity.
- SKIN PROTECTING
- Helping to avoid harmful effects to the skin from external factors.
- EYELASH CONDITIONING
- Conditioning and enhancing the appearance of eyelashes. Improving the gloss or sheen of eyelashes, coating the eyelash hair to increase the appearance of its diameter and length, or helping with the separation of the eyelash hair.
- SKIN CONDITIONING - OCCLUSIVE
- Retarding the evaporation of water from the skin surface. Occlusives are generally lipids which tend to remain on the skin surface and thus increase the water content of skin.
