Water, humectant (glycerin), solvent (ethanol), turmeric oil, sunflower oil, emulsifier (lecithin (soy)), antioxidant (alpha-tocopherol)
We use water, plant-based glycerin, and edible ethanol as the liquid base for some of our products. The ingredients are carefully balanced to allow us to completely eliminate the need for artificial preservatives.
Ethanol is a natural component of many foods and is harmless in small amounts. For comparison, a ripe banana contains about 210 mg of ethanol, and a glass of apple juice contains around 600 mg. Myricals products contain only 12 mg per spray.
Why do we use these ingredients?
Water
Our bodies are made up of approximately 60–70% water. This allows for better absorption of active ingredients because they are already dissolved in the water.
Glycerin
Vegetable preservative and sweetener of natural origin.
Replaces artificial preservatives and contributes to natural shelf life.
Alpha-tocopherol
Acts as a natural antioxidant and protects valuable ingredients from oxidation and degradation.
Lecithin (from soy)
Lecithin is a key component of cell membranes and is used as a coating material in TINYsphere® technology. It improves the absorption of active ingredients through mucous membranes, thus increasing bioavailability. Soy lecithin has particularly good emulsifying properties, resulting in higher bioavailability and a longer shelf life.
Sunflower oil
Promotes the absorption of fat-soluble active ingredients.
Rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants (tocopherols) that support cell protection.
