The following is ingredients for Eve Lom cleanser. It's very expensive. I was wondering if the hack to make it. Looks standard.

But what are these ingredients

BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, ALUMINUM STEARATE, BHT, PHENOXYETHANOL

Any chemists out here.

INGREDIENTS

PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUM (MINERAL OIL), PEG-30 LANOLIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, ALUMINUM STEARATE, THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED BUTTER, PEG-75 LANOLIN, PHENOXYETHANOL, EUGENIA CARYOPHYLLUS (CLOVE) LEAF OIL, HUMULUS LUPULUS (HOPS) OIL, CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA (MATRICARIA) FLOWER OIL, EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS LEAF OIL, BHT.

I know BHT is an anti-oxident, probably included to help ****** rancidity of the cream. The other three... wow. Google searches for them turn up info that makes me wonder why in the world these ingredients are included in a face cream. All three of them are classified as skin irritants, especially around the mouth and eyes.

When I googled, it looks like the first is a conditioning ingredient/emollient. The second is probably thickens or thins the cream, and the last is a preservative.

 

[cmzaha]

Aluminum stearate is most likely used as a stabilizer and BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, as an emollient

 

[sephera]

Are there natural alternatives to these 3 substances.

Sorry, but probably not. There's not really a way to make a commercial quality product like this with the same skin feel and benefits without the chemicals.

ETA: Here's two more. Good recipes/formulas but products + shipping is expensive compared to other suppliers, so you may want to do some comparison shopping for ingredients.
