Our Ingredients Reflect Our Philosophy
“Keep it Real, Keep it Simple!”
We Believe in Quality…
We believe the best skincare products
Keep It Simple!
SUI WASSER Balms contain no water, fragrance, or unnecessary fillers or additives—we only include ingredients proven to be sensitive skin compatible.
Our Balms are specifically formulated to sooth sensitive skin — No Burning, No Stinging — Guarenteed.
Keep it Real!
Soy Wax
Soy wax is a plant-based wax, rich in Vitamin E, that helps balance firmness and spreadability in the balm. It contributes to a softer, more flexible texture than harder waxes alone, allowing the balm to apply smoothly without excessive drag. In SUI WASSER, soy wax supports a lighter feel while still reinforcing the skin’s surface barrier.
Our Oils…
Beeswax
Locally sourced Beeswax is used in SUI WASSER to form a breathable protective barrier on the skin. It helps reduce moisture loss without sealing the skin completely, allowing it to remain comfortable while shielding it from cold, wind, and dry air. Beeswax has been used for generations in skin care for its stability and its ability to support barrier function in harsh environments.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
Meadowfoam seed oil is prized for its exceptional stability and long-lasting moisture support. It helps the balm remain effective on the skin over time, providing a smooth, cushioning feel without heaviness. Its resistance to oxidation makes it particularly well suited for post-exposure care and outdoor use.
Sunflower Oil
High-Oleic Sunflower Oil is rich in essential fatty acids that support the skin barrier. It helps replenish lipids that can be depleted by sun, wind, and cold exposure, contributing to improved comfort and resilience. This oil is lightweight, non-occlusive, and commonly used to support recovery in dry or irritated skin.
(High-Oleic, specifically, means the oil contains a much higher percentage of oleic acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, than conventional versions of the same oil.)
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, which makes it especially well-tolerated and effective at supporting moisture balance. Rather than sitting heavily on the skin, it helps condition and soften while integrating naturally with the skin barrier. Jojoba oil is often used in formulations designed for sensitive or stressed skin.
Our Major Additives…
+Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is a powerful antioxidant, derrived from plants, that helps support skin health and protect the oils in the formulation from oxidation. It has a long history of use in skin care, particularly in products designed to address environmental stress. In SUI WASSER, Vitamin E is a foundational ingredient that supports both skin comfort and formulation stability.
+Bisabolol
Targeted Skin-Calming Support
Bisabolol is a naturally derived compound traditionally sourced from chamomile and the Candeia tree. Known for its exceptional skin-soothing properties, it is widely used in high-performance skincare designed for sensitive or environmentally stressed skin.
Benefits:
Helps reduce the appearance of redness
Supports skin comfort after wind and sun exposure
Enhances skin tolerance in extreme climates
Works synergistically with antioxidant systems
Bisabolol aligns with our goal of supporting alpine skin that faces cold air, UV reflection, and rapid temperature shifts.
+Wild Carrot Seed Oil
Wild Carrot Seed Oil has long been valued in skincare for its naturally occurring antioxidants and skin-conditioning properties. Rich in beneficial plant compounds, it helps support the skin’s natural barrier while promoting a healthy, revitalized appearance. Traditionally used to care for skin exposed to sun, wind, and the elements, Wild Carrot Seed Oil is a prized ingredient in premium outdoor skincare formulations, where its nourishing and restorative qualities help leave skin feeling soft, comfortable, and refreshed..
Coco-Caprylate
A plant-derived ester, sourced from Cocos nucifera or Coconut Palm. It is not a raw oil in the traditional sense. It’s widely used in modern, high-quality skincare because it improves feel without adding heaviness or greasiness.
Our Supporting Additives…
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA)
Purpose: Advanced Vitamin C Antioxidant Protection & Skin Conditioning
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THDA) is a highly stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C. Unlike traditional Vitamin C, THDA blends easily into anhydrous balms and penetrates effectively into the skin, where it helps support the skin’s natural defenses against environmental stress while promoting a healthy, revitalized appearance.
Potential Benefits:
Provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage
Helps support skin exposed to UV and environmental stressors
Promotes a brighter, healthier-looking complexion
Supports collagen production and skin firmness
Helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone
Works synergistically with Vitamin E and other antioxidants
Remains stable in oil-based formulations
Suitable for sensitive skin compared to some traditional forms of Vitamin C
Why We Use It:
Outdoor athletes, workers, and adventurers face daily exposure to sun, wind, cold, and dry air. THDA helps support the skin’s natural recovery processes by delivering a stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that complements the antioxidant-rich ingredients found throughout SUI WASSER Recovery+.
Ceramide Complex (NP/AP)
Purposes: Barrier Lipid Restoration
Cold air and wind strip natural ceramides from the skin. Adding a cosmetic-grade ceramide complex could help restore the skin’s natural lipid matrix.
Potential benefits:
• Strengthens barrier integrity
• Improves moisture retention
• Supports recovery from environmental exposure
This would move the balm toward a more clinically structured barrier-repair system.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 / Ubiquinone)
Purpose: Antioxidant Protection & Cellular Energy Support
Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant found throughout the body and within healthy skin. It plays an important role in cellular energy production while helping defend skin against oxidative stress caused by environmental exposure.
Potential Benefits:
Helps defend against free radical damage
Supports the skin’s natural antioxidant defenses
Helps mitigate oxidative stress associated with UV exposure
Supports skin vitality and resilience
Works synergistically with Vitamin E
Helps maintain the appearance of healthy skin
Supports recovery from environmental stressors such as sun, wind, cold, and dry air
Why We Use It:
For people who spend long days outdoors, skin is constantly challenged by environmental exposure. CoQ10 helps support the skin’s natural recovery processes, making it an ideal ingredient for SUI WASSER’s recovery mission.
Squalane
Purposes: Lightweight Barrier Reinforcement
Squalane is a stable, skin-compatible lipid that mimics components naturally found in the skin’s protective barrier. It provides softness without heaviness and supports moisture retention in extreme climates.
Potential benefits:
Helps reduce moisture loss in dry, cold air
Supports skin suppleness and flexibility
Enhances spreadability without greasiness
Reinforces barrier comfort during exposure
Squalane allows our balms to remain protective while maintaining elegant wearability.
Dimethicone
Purposes: Lightweight, Anti-Friction, Breathable Barrier. Dimethicone clear, odorless silicone-based polymer widely used in topical skincare. Dimethicone is the only non-plant derived additive used in our Balms.
When skin has been compromised by UV Radiation, Wind, Cold, or Friction, maintaining moisture is critical. Dimethicone helps create an invisible, breathable shield that supports the skin’s natural barrier and helps reduce moisture loss. Its silky, non-greasy feel improves glide and comfort while helping protect exposed skin from further environmental stress, making it an ideal ingredient for outdoor recovery-focused skincare.
Potential benefits:
Helps reduce moisture loss in dry, cold air
Supports skin suppleness and flexibility
Enhances spreadability without greasiness
Reinforces barrier comfort during exposure
Dimethicone & Squalane allows SUI WASSER balms to remain protective while maintaining elegant wearability.
