Hydresia(TM) G2 is a cold-process emulsifying system comprised of oleosomes, naturally occurring oil reservoirs derived from safflower seeds. Oleosomes are nature's warehouse, or storage facility, for the emollient oils, antioxidants and natural moisture barriers that serve to keep the skin soft, supple and young looking. Using a proprietary non-solvent aqueous extraction process, these oleosomes are isolated from the seed fully intact, and when used in skin care applications can provide lasting protection to the skin. Hydresia(TM) G2 is a natural, renewable replacement for hydrocarbon derived petrolatum, mineral oil and non-ionic surfactants.
