It is easier to observe what is good for us and what our skin does not like. Hence the simple, unprocessed (unrefined) ingredients that make our compositions, because only from such quality raw materials our skin has a chance to draw.

If you don't understand what's in a cosmetic, just don't buy it!.

We also knew that we wanted to explain in a simple and understandable way what is in the cosmetic, so that you could choose it properly, without dilemmas, without an incomprehensible language, "composition" in Latin. It results from legal requirements, but it tells us nothing, consumers ... See how we developed the label so that you can read the ingredients. The ingredients are listed in order - from those with the highest concentration. At the end there are those with the lowest. Now you know exactly what you are buying.

What do we add to HelloECO recipes?

Water and hydrolates

 Water is the basis of our cosmetics, without it it is difficult to talk about good absorption and hydration. It is not a cheap filler, but an element without which most of the ingredients would not penetrate further. Cosmetics based only on fats and oils, precisely because they do not contain water, should be applied to a wet body ...

Hydrolates  are plant waters obtained by steam distillation. They have many valuable properties just like the plants from which they are obtained. They perfectly cleanse the skin, smooth and moisturize.

Our favorite is the geranium hydrolate because it intensifies the action of other hydrolates and moisturizes well. You will find it in our face serum.serum do twarzy

Active ingredients

We also use active ingredients in our recipes. We select them consciously, studying and educating ourselves about their properties and applications. You can do it for the rest of your life! We have a goal :-)

Acids

gluconolactone (PHA acid obtained in the fermentation of corn kernels), which moisturizes, accelerates cell regeneration and improves the condition of the vascular skin. PHAs are a new generation of hydroxylic acids. They have the characteristics of AHA acids (lactic acid, almond), but they are more delicate. They do not cause redness, peeling or burning. Their main role is to moisturize.

Vitamins

we use a stable form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), which is not degraded in cosmetics containing water. The addition of vitamin C is designed to reduce discoloration and skin spots.

Vitamin E

Vitamin present in almost all our cosmetics. It protects unrefined and cold-pressed oils from going rancid. It is the "elixir of youth", it promotes the formation of collagen.

Vitamin B3 (niacinamide, vitamin PP)

It has anti-inflammatory properties, lightens discoloration, reduces the production of sebum, helps with acne lesions. It is hypoallergenic. We use it in our micellar face make-up remover.

Its composition is similar to the natural fat layer - sebum, which covers human skin. It perfectly softens the skin, eliminates its roughness.
