Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice is the mucilaginous juice contained in the internal parenchymal tissues of the leaves of Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) and obtained by cold pressing. It is mainly composed of polysaccharides, partly acetylated and partly non-acetylated, containing D-glucose and D-mannose. Minor but very important constituents are phytosterols (cholesterol, campesterol, and 3-sitosterol), vitamins, enzymes, trace elements, and amino acids. Aloe juice forms a protective film on the skin, allowing it to act as an excellent moisturizer and

soothing.

Bisabolol is a natural monocyclic sesquiterpene alcohol obtained by distillation of chamomile essential oil or by chemical synthesis. Primarily used for its soothing and anti-reddening properties, it also exerts a depigmenting effect by interrupting the cAMP (cyclic AMP) signaling cascade, normally activated by α-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone). Thanks to its properties, it is used in cosmetics intended for sensitive and delicate skin. It is effective as a soothing agent in children's products and in products for inflamed and reddened skin. It is also used in the formulation of products that act on

skin pigmentation disorders, such as solar lentigo, senile lentigo, and melasma.

Sorbitol is a sugar belonging to the polyol family and is found in numerous fruits such as apples, pears, cherries, and rowanberries. It is an ingredient used primarily in the food industry as a natural sweetener, but it can also be found in cosmetics, where it acts as a humectant and skin moisturizer. It is used in cosmetics as a humectant, to protect the product from dehydration, and as a moisturizing agent, to prevent skin dryness. When used in high concentrations, it can enhance the antimicrobial efficacy of some preservatives.

Butyrospermum parkii is a yellow, semi-solid, plant-based fatty substance derived from the Butyrospermum parkii tree, a member of the Saponataceae family. Butter can be extracted from the seeds, a substance chemically composed of a high fraction of triglycerides (stearic, oleic), responsible for the emollient, moisturizing, and regenerating properties of the skin barrier. Thanks to the presence of a high proportion of unsaponifiable fraction, rich in terpene alcohols (karitene) and a smaller amount of phytosterols, it is a valuable natural anti-aging ingredient for the face and body, capable of giving the skin firmness and elasticity. Shea butter also contains tocopherols (vitamin E), which act as natural antioxidants.
