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 retard 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.
