From theordinary.com

“B” Oil solubilizes a purified form of micro-algae in a blend of squalane and oils of marula, argan, baobab, pataua, brazil nut, inca inchi, rosehip and borage to support healthy skin defense, to enhance radiance, to quench free radicals and to help balance pro-irritant mediators.

The formula imparts a golden green hue and a mild herbal odour as a result of its high micro-algae concentration.

Notes: Supplied in UV-protective packaging.

Key Ingredients

• Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides– a skin friendly compound from coconut oil and glycerin. It’s an emollient that gives the product a nice feel and helps to deliver the ingredients into the skin.
• Squalane– a saturated oil (like coconut oil) that won’t go rancid and won’t block pores.
• Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil– a plant oil with a lovely silicone like slippy feel. Rich in Omega 9 fatty acid. Unlikely to oxidise or go rancid.
• Bisabolol– a fantastic ingredient (discussed it in my review of skin soothing Modulating Glucosides). Bisabolol is an anti inflammatory, anti irritant, anti oxidant. It’s derived from Chamomile and is a blessing for irritated skin.
• Ethylhexyl Stearate– an emulsifier which is chill with the skin.
• Isochrysis Galbana Extract– a skin conditioning algae extract, this is what gives it’s green colour. Algae has plenty of minerals and helps moisturise and support the skin.
