About Hydresia(TM) (http://www.hydresia.com)
Hydresia(TM) is a base emulsion naturally derived from safflower seed oilbodies, or oleosomes, which can replace traditional emulsifiers such as petrolatum and animal and chemical byproducts in health and beauty products. Oleosomes serve as natural storehouses for the emollient oils, antioxidants and natural moisture barriers that help keep skin soft, supple and young looking. SemBioSys has developed a gentle and natural proprietary process to isolate oleosomes from the seed fully intact to provide lasting protection to the skin.
