EMULSIFIER- holds the oil-based and water based ingredients together, helping stabilize the interaction between
both phases, and thereby avoiding their separation in the cosmetic formulation.

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL- has therapeutic botanical properties described as astringent and helpful for skin
irritations. Evening Primrose oil contains a high amount of gamma linoleic acid which is one of the essential fatty
acids vital for maintaining the normal functioning of the epithelial barrier membrane. Evening Primrose oil improves
the skin's hydration and its ability to develop normal barrier functions.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID- EFA. It forms the basic building blocks of body fats and cellular membranes. If the skin's
EFA content declines, so will its elasticity. Meanwhile, transepidermal water loss will increase, together with skin
roughness and scaliness. Since cell membranes are largely made of phospholipids, topically applied EFAs may be
metabolized in the skin, normalizing the cell lipid layer and improving the water-retention capability of the corneum
layer.

ECHINACEA - described as having antiseptic and antibacterial properties helpful in treating skin lesions and in
shortening healing time. It also has anti-itching and soothing properties when used in skin care products.

EPIDERMIS- four to five layers of cells covering the skin (dermis).
ESSENTIAL OIL - the oily liquid obtained from the plants through a variety of
processes. The essential oil usually has the taste and the smell of the original
plant. Essential oils are called volatile because most of them are easily vaporized.
A large number of oils have antiseptic, germicidal and preservative action;
however they are used primarily for fragrances and flavorings. A teaspoon may
cause illness in an adult and less than on ounce may kill, if eaten.

EXTRACT- the solution that results from passing alcohol or an alcohol- water
mixture through substance. Extracts are not as strong as essential oils.

EMOLLIENT- a fatty substance with lubricating action that make the skin feel softer
and more pliable. Emollients also have hydrating effect by reducing moisture
evaporation from the skin surface.
