It is one of the most effective natural humectants, or moisture-attracting ingredients. Our Glycerine is plant-based (from rapeseed oil), vegan, palm oil-free and has a purity of 99.5 percent. The remaining 0.5 percent is water. The INCI is Glycerin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glycerine is food-grade quality, which means it is also suitable for internal use, for example in homemade glycerine-based tinctures.

This means it attracts moisture from the environment and retains it in the upper layers of the skin. On a hydrated skin this effect is a welcome boost, but on dehydrated skin in a dry environment you should be careful with the dosage, because concentrated glycerine can actually attract moisture from deeper skin layers instead of from the air. That's why glycerine is always used diluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal working dosage is between 1 and 10 percent in a DIY formula, depending on the product and the conditions in which it is used. For a facial or body spray, 10 percent works fine, for a lotion or cream often 3 to 5 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Glycerine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePowerful hydration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlycerine attracts and retains moisture in the skin, making the skin feel fuller, smoother and softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlycerine is one of the most well-tolerated cosmetic ingredients and is well tolerated by virtually every skin type, including sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the skin barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough hydration, glycerine supports the skin's natural barrier and helps retain moisture in the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant-based and palm oil-free\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur glycerine is derived from rapeseed oil, so 100 percent plant-based, vegan and without palm oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood grade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purity is suitable for both cosmetic and internal use, such as in homemade tinctures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you use Glycerine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlways dilute with water or a water-based base\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlycerine is never used pure on the skin.

The scent is warm, sunny and sweet, and immediately reminds you of freshly peeled oranges. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is extracted from the peel of the sweet orange, the same orange you see on your breakfast table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis oil naturally contains a high percentage of d-limonene (often 85 to 95%), alongside smaller amounts of myrcene, linalool, alpha-pinene and octanal. These natural components are responsible for both the recognizable scent and the oil's properties on skin and mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet Orange is one of the few essential oils that almost everyone finds pleasant to smell. That's why the oil is often used as a starting point for those beginning with aromatherapy for the first time, and as a base in blends where other oils can be softened a bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Sweet Orange Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most essential oils, which are obtained through steam distillation, Sweet Orange is extracted through cold pressing.

This oil is then separated from the juice and aqueous components. Because no heat is involved, the natural aroma molecules are optimally preserved. That's also why cold-pressed citrus oils smell so fresh and vibrant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange oil is often a byproduct of the juice industry.

Another practical advantage is that sweet orange, together with mandarin, is one of the few cold-pressed citrus oils that is not phototoxic, allowing you to incorporate it into day care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips when using Sweet Orange Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the oil in a cool, dark place.

This step specifically removes the heavier phototoxic molecules and leaves the aromatic components largely intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an oil with a scent that comes very close to classic bergamot, with minimal loss of depth and complexity, but with the great practical advantage that the oil is safe for daily exposure to sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Bergamot Essential Oil (FCF)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-phototoxic, so safe for day care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main advantage over cold-pressed bergamot.
