Ingredients and Benefits
Shea Butter
Ultra-moisturizing, prevents dryness and long-lasting through out the day. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Can be used on the face, body, lips and even hair.
Extra virgin olive oil
Rich in antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin E. These compounds help neutralise free radicals, reducing the oxidative stress on the skin, which can lead to premature aging and skin damage. Its emollient properties make the skin smooth and soft , enhancing overall skin texture. Topical application to the skin acts as a moisturiser.
Coconut oil
Provides deep hydration and has antibacterial properties. It’s high content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), including lauric acid, caprylic acid and capric acid, contributes to its moisturising and emollient properties. These fatty acids help to soften and hydrate the skin, improving its overall texture and reducing dryness.
Avocado oil
High in oleic acid and vitamins A, D, and E, which nourish and repair the skin. Avocado oil’s rich composition of oleic acid and other fatty acids deeply penetrates the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and improving skin elasticity. This helps to soften rough and dry skin, making it particularly beneficial for moisturizing body butter formulations.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant. It is highly regarded in skincare for its beneficial properties. Jojoba oil’s emollient properties help to seal moisture into the skin, enhancing its suppleness and smoothness. The wax esters in jojoba oil mimic human sebum, making it an effective moisturizer that balances oil production without causing greasiness.
Frankincense essential oil
Frankincense oil is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree and is known for its therapeutic properties. Frankincense oil contains bioactive compounds called boswellic acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds inhibit inflammatory enzymes, reducing inflammation and soothing irritated skin.
