Description

Petrolatum is used in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser because it is a rich emollient and skin protectant. It is derived from crude oil, however, it is highly purified prior to being used in cosmetics. Petrolatum has a melting point that is close to body temperature, so it softens upon application and forms a water-repellant film over the applied area. This film prevents evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture and increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water beneath the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Furthermore, petrolatum has been shown to penetrate deeply into damaged skin and enhance recovery of the skin’s barrier function. Petrolatum protects the skin after an injury by replicating the occlusive properties of the stratum corneum. Extensive clinical data has shown petrolatum to be a gentle ingredient.

Moisturizing Cleanser that gently removes makeup - Albolene

Paraffin is a soft, colorless wax-like solid that consists of a mixture of saturated hydrocarbon molecules which are created by the distillation of petroleum. It is a skin-conditioning ingredient that contains lubrication properties and can also help retain moisture in the skin. One problem with paraffin is that it can clog pores and promote the development of comedonal acne. While this may not be a major issue with Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser since it is intended to be washed off, it is still something to be aware of. Another super common myth surrounding mineral oil is that it is comedogenic. A 2005 study titled"Is mineral oil comedogenic?" examined this very question and guess what happened? The study concluded that" based on the animal and human data reported, along with the AAD recommendation, it would appear reasonable to conclude that mineral oil is noncomedogenic in humans." There are only five ingredients in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser: mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, ceresin, and beta carotene. The combination of these ingredients not only helps to remove makeup and other impurities, but also keeps the skin moisturized and soft. Below is a brief description of how each of these ingredients works. Albolene was created more than a century ago in 1885. The first product was the Moisturizing Cleanser, which still has the same formula today. It was advertised as a multi-use product that does everything you need when it comes to removing makeup, cleansing, moisturizing your face, and more. Interestingly, one of Albolene’s first uses was to gently cleanse an infant’s tender nose skin. Chances are, unless you have gone down a Reddit beauty rabbit hole, take beauty advice from your grandma, or regularly peruse the beauty shelves of your local grocery store (all activities we encourage every once in a while, by the way), you haven't heard of Albolene. That's about to change.According to the company, a clinical study that compared the Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser to competitors in the makeup removal market, Albolene’s new formula ranked first overall for makeup removal, was up to three times as effective at removing waterproof makeup and provided more than four times the amount of moisture. A UV makeup and advanced facial imaging technology evaluation also revealed that Albolene’s Hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser outperformed the top-selling micellar makeup remover brand in terms of effectively removing makeup. It is a great emollient and moisturizer working mainly by occlusivity.Occlusivity is one of the basic mechanisms of how moisturizers work and it means that mineral oilsits on top of the skin and hinders so-called trans-epidermal water loss, i.e water evaporating out of your skin. When compared to heavy-duty plant oil, extra virgin coconut oil, the two of them were equally efficient and safe as moisturizers in treating xerosis, a skin condition connected to very dry skin.

The final ingredient in the Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser formula is beta carotene, a red-orange pigment abundant in plants and fruits. Beta carotene has the ability to increase cell turnover and regeneration in the outer layers of the skin, giving the complexion a healthy glow. It is also a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants limit oxidative damage caused by free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Geranium essential oil– Geranium (also Rose Geranium, which is similar) supports clear, calm skin by regulating oil production and helping unclog pores. One of my favorite essential oils because of its woodsy, rosy scent. (Find organic geranium essential oil here) While the skincare category has made significant strides to transform how our culture defines what’s beautiful, there remains an opportunity to push for more inclusive and holistic definitions,” says Tyler Smith, marketing lead for Bridges Consumer Healthcare at Albolene. Calendula oil– Calendula flowers are known for their soothing and healing properties, making calendula-infused oil a perfect ingredient for cleansing balm. (Here’s the brand of calendula oil I use or you can make your own by infusing calendula flowers in a carrier oil like sunflower, olive or grapeseed oil.)The famous or maybe rather infamous mineral oil. The clear oily liquid that is the "cheap by-product" of refining crude oil and the one that gets a lot of heat for its poor provenance. It is a very controversial ingredient with pros and cons and plenty of mythsaround it. So let us see them: A cleansing balm is an oil based skin care product that comes in a solid state (as opposed to liquid) and is used for cleansing and makeup removal. Meanwhile, the Hydrating Daily Cleanser is a moisturizing product that provides cleansing and optimum hydration even for sensitive skin. Hyaluronic acid is one of five combined moisturizers in this product to increase hydration and smoothness while retaining moisture long after removing makeup. Micelle technology is used by the hydrating Micellar Milk Cleanser to easily collect and remove dirt, oil and makeup without removing the skin’s natural oils.
