Formulation view An anhydrous oil elixir: coco-caprylate gives a light slip base blended with coconut, grape seed, jojoba, rosehip, argan and sweet almond oils for emollience and penetration, with sunflower oil and tocopherol as antioxidants. No preservative required, but light-protected storage is advised. Fragrance with several EU-listed allergens (anise alcohol, benzyl alcohol, geraniol) scents the blend. Best for dry skin or hair ends; the relatively high coconut oil share warrants caution for blemish-prone users.
