The majority of Izanagi products are vegan, with the exception of certain formulas that contain lanolin and beeswax.

The most common allergens found in the products are Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol. The ingredients of each product are clearly listed on the product page, please check against the list to identify potential allergens.
Do the products contain alcohol?
Not all alcohols are created equal, and not all are bad for the skin – each ingredient in Izanagi formulas has been carefully evaluated to ensure it is safe to use.
Please check the ingredient list for each product to find out it contains alcohol and/or alcohol derivatives.
However, majority of products has some traces of alcohol since most plant extracts (except in oil products) are made using alcohol-based extraction methods.
So even though there might be no alcohol and/or alcohol derivates listed in Ingredients, we can’t claim the products are actually alcohol-free.

We do not add palm oil to our formulas as a separate ingredient, however, palm oil derivatives may be part of another ingredient and are present in most products (for example, palmitic acid), although in a very low concentration.
All ingredients containing palm oil derivatives are RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified, which means that plantations are cultivated using sustainable methods.

Ascorbyl Palmitate is a stable, oil-soluble form of vitamin C. Formulated by combining ascorbic acid with palmitic acid, it is used in our products due to its antioxidant abilities.
