Root Topical Cream Ingredients Breakdown

Water (Aqua)

Organic Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera) is a highly saturated oil that is traditionally made by extracting the oil from raw coconuts or dried coconut kernels. Coconut oil may have potential benefits for skin, including reducing inflammation, keeping skin moisturized and helping heal wounds. The medium-chain fatty acids found in coconut oil also possess antimicrobial properties that can help treat acne and protect the skin from harmful bacteria.

Emulsifying Wax (Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60) is used to make oil and water bind together into a smooth emulsion. These ingredients are used in cosmetics and skincare to improve the texture and sensory feel of formulations.

Stearic Acid is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in animal and plant fats (typically coconut oil). It is a white solid, often crystalline, with a mild odor. It’s a major component of cocoa and shea butter. Stearic acid is an emulsifier, emollient, and lubricant. It can help keep products from separating and can soften skin. Stearic acid is in hundreds of personal care products, including moisturizer, sunscreen, makeup, soap, and baby lotion. Research shows that the ingredient may help burns heal.

Phenoxyethanol is often used as a preservative or stabilizer for other ingredients that might otherwise deteriorate, spoil, or become less effective too quickly.

Xanthan Gum is used as a thickening agent and stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating. It allows our topical cream to be thick, while also smooth and easily spread on the skin. It also allows solid particles to be suspended in liquids.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is a multi-purpose, clear, liquid chelating agent and preservative booster. Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate is made from plant material and readily biodegradable. Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate serves the same function in formulations as EDTA, without the health and environmental concerns.

Hemp Derived CBD

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Fruit) Oil FCF is extracted from the rinds of citrus fruit (Citrus bergamia) that grow on bergamot orange trees. In addition to being used for its scent, it contains several compounds that have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
