Rosa damascena extract~25–37%
- Irritation risk
- High
Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flower’s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plant’s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this rose’s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.

Product summary
"Alaffia - Everyday Coconut Super Hydrating Body Lotion - Purely Coconut" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Alaffia - Everyday Coconut Super Hydrating Body Lotion - Purely Coconut ticks this box. Cocos nucifera water in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide np, cocos nucifera fruit extract, cocos nucifera oil and stearic acid in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.45% - 1.10%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide np 5.30% - 7.90%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
