5 great ingredients found in the perfect body cream (without perfume)

A body cream is used to nourish, moisturize and leave your skin feeling wonderfully soft. The selection is enormous and making a choice is not easy. Besides your budget, you probably pay attention to appearance, product packaging and fragrance.

But, don’t forget the ingredients!

The ingredients of a body cream are incredibly important. Unfortunately, reading the ingredient list on the label is not easy. Let me help you get started by discussing 5 great ingredients with you. Here they come.

1. Kukui oil

Kukui oil or kukuinut oil is extracted from the nuts of the beautiful green Aleuritis Moluccana tree that grows in Hawaii, among other places. The oil is cold pressed from the nuts and has a clear to light yellow color. The oils have been used for years because of the wonderful properties they contain. For example, Polynesians have been smearing the oil on baby skins for centuries to soothe, protect and heal them. The oil is high in essential fatty acids that ensure it nourishes, moisturizes and protects the skin from moisture loss. Also, kukui promotes the skin’s repairing ability. Kukui oil is an ideal ingredient for taking care of damaged, irritated skin. Perfect for a body cream you use after hair removal or a sunscreen, for example. On the label: kukui oil can be found on the label under the name Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil.

2. Miracle Oil

The name miracle oil already raises expectations, which is absolutely right. Miracle oil is a natural, vegetable oil extracted from the fruit of the miracle tree: a tropical plant native to Africa. Miracle oil, also known as castor oil, is popular for its anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, the oil leaves your skin feeling more even and stimulates circulation.

Miracle oil consists largely (about 90%) of ricinoleic acid. This is an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid that helps with impurities and softening the skin. It also contains many omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, which play an essential role in keeping the skin moisturized and supple, and Vitamin E. This vitamin keeps your skin young. You want to find miracle oil as a second ingredient in your bodycream because that means the bodycream is not mostly water but has a nourishing base. On the label: miracle oil can be found on the label under the name Ricinus Communis Seed Oil.

3. Olus oil

Olus oil is a plant-based alternative to mineral oil extracted from petroleum (petroleum). It may sound a little crazy but mineral oil is an ingredient found in an awful lot of beauty products because it prevents moisture loss and protects the skin from unwanted invaders. Unfortunately, environmentally friendly it is not, and besides, mineral oil has an addictive effect on your skin that eventually makes your skin actually drier and needs more and more bodycream. Fortunately, the plant-based alternative Olus oil does not have this drawback and also soaks into the skin better. The oil is so soft and skin-friendly that it is also used in baby products (from Neutral, for example).

On the label: Olus oil can be found on the label under the name Olus Oil. Mineral oil has several names. Among others, liquid paraffin, liquid petrolatum, paraffin oil, paraffinum liquidum, petrolatum liquid, petroleum oil, white mineral oil and white oil.

4. Avocado oil

Who doesn’t love avocado? In addition to a delicious taste, avocado also contains an impressive number of healthy fats, vitamins and antioxidants. But did you know that the oil, extracted from the avocado’s kernel, is also great for your skin? Thanks to a high content of palmitoleic acid, the oil is very kind to all skin types. Avocado oil promotes cell renewal, making it ideal for caring for dry, chapped or damaged skin. The oil also helps improve the effectiveness of other ingredients because moisture is better bound to the skin, improving the absorption of other ingredients. On the label: avocado oil can be found on the label under the name Persea Gratissima Oil.

5. Essential oil

Just as you prefer to find olus oil rather than mineral oil in your body cream, I also recommend choosing a body cream without perfume and with essential oils. In fact, perfume is one of the biggest contributors to an allergic reaction. Perfume is added to give a wonderful scent to your bodycream, which is very nice, but otherwise has no added value. Essential oil is extracted from plants. For example, from the blossom or fruit. For example, you have Lavender oil, Mandarin oil and Ylang-ylang oil. The scent of an essential oil is volatile, but at the same time it is wonderfully pure and clear. It is particularly suitable for adding a wonderful scent to a body cream while nourishing your skin without irritating it.

On the label: essential oil can be found under the name of the specific oil on the label. For example, Ylang Ylang essential oil is called Cananga Odorata Flower Oil on the label.

How do you read an ingredient list of a body cream?

On every beauty product, you will find an ingredient list on the label. This is required by law. The names of ingredients are internationally determined and thus not always immediately recognizable because the Latin or English name is given. You can look up these INCI names online or you can use a mobile app, such as CosmEthics, that allows you to scan the barcode or ingredient list of a body cream and instantly read more about the ingredients. The first ingredient on the list is always the main ingredient. The later the ingredient is listed the less the ingredient is present in the body cream. Therefore, it is always good to look especially at the first ingredients listed. So you can immediately see what the main ingredient is and whether the bodycream consists mainly of water (aqua).

To shave or not to shave is a choice, shaving irritation now thankfully also!

YIONN has developed the perfect product for every step of your shaving routine!

You’re fed up. Those annoying red bumps, ingrown hairs, and itching after shaving your bikini line, underarms, and legs. It leaves you feeling frustrated and anything but confident.

No woman should ever feel that way, and neither should you!

First, let me reassure you: there’s nothing wrong with your skin. Your skin is simply doing what it’s designed to do, reacting to the stress of shaving, which leads to unwanted side effects like itching and red bumps.

That’s not the result we women want, so we need to give our skin and nature a little extra help. And that’s exactly what YIONN products are designed to do!

Get rid of your shaving irritation within 3 weeks: or your money back

That is my promise to you!

From registered nurse to hair removal expert:

I am Wendy, the founder of YIONN.
I know better than anyone what it is like to go through life with shaving discomfort.

After desperately trying every possible way and remedy for red razor bumps and ingrown hairs, I was fed up.
I decided to find a solution to my shaving irritations that worked and it did!

I developed Raka, a caring lotion based on rose water, camphor and willow bark, which, by applying thinly to the problem area, easily and quickly calms the skin after hair removal, prevents red bumps and allows the hairs to grow out – instead of in – again.

And with that, I could finally say goodbye to my insecurities and discomforts.

Hallelujah.

When it later turned out that Raka was not only for me, but also for many other women, I started making several other products around it that can make hair removal a pleasant experience again.

And because I’m so convinced it works and I don’t want to keep your money in the rare case you’re not satisfied with it I came up with the unique YIONN within 30 days money-back guarantee (a guarantee you never normally get on hygiene products).
