Formulation Deep Dive
The Shea Better Body Lotion – Vanilla Cashmere by eos (Evolution of Smooth) is formulated as a high-occlusive oil-in-water emulsion designed for deep epidermal hydration and barrier reinforcement. The base utilizes a high concentration of Glycerin as a humectant, paired with Isopropyl Palmitate and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate to provide a lightweight, emollient spreadability that mitigates the heaviness of the primary occlusives. Performance is driven by a lipid-rich complex of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil, which work synergistically with Petrolatum and Mineral Oil to create a multi-layer moisture seal. This is further enhanced by Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) for antioxidant protection and a structural fatty acid blend of Palmitic, Stearic, and Myristic acids to mimic the skin's natural lipid barrier. The formulation is stabilized through a Carbomer-based polymer network and a pH-adjusted system using Sodium Hydroxide, while preservation is maintained via a combination of Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, and Disodium EDTA for broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy.
