The Omega Daily Moisturizer is the last Sophyto product I’ll be reviewing for now. I’ve enjoyed this brand a great deal, though, so I have a feeling you’ll see it again on the blog soon. : )
Ingredients (provided at sophyto.com)- “aqua (spring water), *simondsia californica (jojoba) seed oil, cetearyl alcohol, *butyrosperum parkii (karite) fruit butter, *helianthus annus (sunflower) seed oil, *daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract, sodium stearoyl lactylate, glyceryl stearate, *oenothera biennis (evening primrose) seed oil, *punica granatum (pomegranate) seed oil, *rubus idaeus (raspberry) seed oil, *cera alba (beeswax), *aloe barbadensis (aloe vera) leaf juice powder, levulinic acid, sodium dehydroacetate, lecithin, *paeonia lactiflora (white peony) flower extract, *rosa damascena (rose) flower extract, glycerin, tocopherol, *guar gum, xanthum gum, *alcohol denat, sodium hydroxide, citric acid *Organic, 90% of the agricultural ingredients are produced organically”
The preliminary report I created for this product in the Cosmetics Database gives it a hazard score of 3. The only ingredient with a hazard score above a 2 is lecithin.
However, as Ishtar pointed out, “lecithin is listed as moderately toxic despite the fact that it is known to be a safe emollient. Yes, it is derived from soy and it is also a penetration enhancer but the rating is the same whether it comes from a GM-Free source or not, or whether or not toxic ingredients are used along with the lecithin.”
Some great things about this product:
1. It’s free of parabens and artificial fragrance/colors.
2. It contains organic ingredients.
3. It’s cruelty-free and vegan.
Product Description(provided at sophyto.com)- “Ultrahydrating, lightweight formula with ingredients that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve skin’s elasticity. Optimum levels of nourishing fatty acids and deep hydrating agents maintain a supple, smoother looking complexion. AWARD FINALIST “Best Eco Beauty Finalist” 2011 CEW Awards. Always guaranteed to be free from artificial fragrance, colors, fillers and parabens. pH 5 for normal skin range.”
Price- around $45 for a 50 ml bottle.
Performance- This product was hydrating and lightweight and everything I could hope for in a moisturizer. I have no complaints. However, my love for the Super Skin Concentrate ultimately overshadowed this little guy.
Scent- It honestly doesn’t have much of a scent.
Rating- I’m subtracting half a point for the hazard score of 2 and another since $45 is more than I’d usually spend on a moisturizer.
Would I purchase this item again? I’m pretty partial to the Tocotrienol Super Skin Concentrate, but I’d definitely recommend this product to anyone who prefers creams over oils.
