- Inulin – Derived from chicory root, a renewable resource with low environmental footprint; acts as a prebiotic, supporting skin’s microbiome.
- Raspberry seed oil – Low-impact byproduct of raspberry farming; rich in fatty acids, provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
- Vaccinium myrtillus seed oil (Bilberry Seed Oil) – A byproduct with minimal environmental strain; high in antioxidants and omega‑3, soothes and hydrates skin.
- Oryza sativa bran wax and oil (Rice Bran Wax/Oil) – Byproducts of rice farming, low environmental impact; nourishing and protective for sensitive skin.
- Borago officinalis seed oil (Borage Seed Oil) – Farming practices vary but generally low impact; contains gamma-linolenic acid, helps restore the skin barrier.
- Sea buckthorn oil – Farming practices vary by region, some with environmental impacts; rich in vitamins, supports skin regeneration and elasticity.
- Carthamus tinctorius seed oil (Safflower Oil) – Monoculture farming can affect soil health; contains linoleic acid, helps repair and protect the skin barrier.
- Helianthus annuus seed wax (Sunflower Wax) – Produced from sunflower farming, generally low environmental impact; creates a barrier to lock in moisture.

- Butyrospermum parkii butter (Shea Butter) – Often ethically sourced, impact varies; deeply nourishes and helps repair dry skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate – Synthetically produced via biofermentation, controlled environmental impact; powerful humectant, enhances skin hydration and elasticity.
- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) – Sometimes derived from palm oil, depending on source; antioxidant, protects skin from free radicals.
- Glycerin – Sourced either synthetically or from palm oil, environmental impact depends on source; acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin.
- Theobroma cacao seed butter (Cocoa Butter) – Sourcing can lead to deforestation in some regions; deeply hydrating, improves skin elasticity.
- Isopropyl palmitate – Linked to palm oil production, often associated with deforestation; smooths skin and enhances product spreadability.

- Tetracaprate – Frequently derived from palm oil, linked to deforestation; gives products a lightweight, silky feel.
- Vitamin A – Synthetic ingredient, environmental impact depends on production; promotes cell turnover, improves skin texture.
Packaging
The brand uses Post Consumer Recycled (PCR) packaging, which is also recyclable at the end of use, to support recycling efforts and reduce reliance on virgin materials. Biodegradable packaging is not currently used, as the brand prioritises the shelf life, quality, and safety of its products for oncology patients.
Water usage
MOKSI has not disclosed specific practices related to water usage, microplastic release, or applicable certifications. Additional details on water management and conservation practices would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the brand’s environmental impact.
NOTE: Water usage/pollution down to the raw materials is generally impossible to know for cosmetic products.
