Hydresia(TM) G2 is a cold-process emulsifying system comprised

safflower seeds.  Oleosomes are nature's warehouse, or storage
facility, for the emollient  oils, antioxidants and natural moisture
barriers that serve to keep the  skin soft, supple and young looking.
Using a proprietary non-solvent  aqueous extraction process, these
oleosomes are isolated from the seed  fully intact, and when used in
skin care applications can provide lasting  protection to the skin.
Hydresia(TM) G2 is a natural, renewable replacement  for hydrocarbon
derived petrolatum, mineral oil and non-ionic surfactants.
