Ingredient breakdown:
Shea Butter
Shea butter is a creamy fat found in nuts growing on shea trees in African countries. We use unrefined shea butter vs. refined because it holds more of its nutrients due to less processing.
Benefits:
Moisturizing: The fatty acids found in this butter lubricate the skin and create a barrier that keeps moisture in.
Anti-inflammatory: This butter contains anti-inflammatory substances that ease swelling and redness of the skin.
Contains antioxidants: It contains Vitamins A & E. Vitamin E prevents cellular damage and boots moisture. Vitamin A increases the skin-cell turnover rate which smooths the skin’s surface.
Cocoa Butter
Cocoa butter comes from the cacao bean, which is found inside the cocoa pod, which grows on the cacao tree. We use unrefined vs. refined because it holds more of its nutrients due to less processing.
Benefits:
Hydrating: The fatty acids in cocoa butter help hydrate and heal chapped skin.
Contains antioxidants: It contains antioxidants to help fight off free-radical damage. Less free-radical damage = healthy and youthful-looking skin.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is extracted from raw coconuts. We use cold-pressed coconut oil as it doesn’t use heat in the preparation process and maintains more of its nutrients.
Benefits:
Antimicrobial & antibacterial: The lauric acid found in coconut oil can have antimicrobial properties, which can help kill bacteria on the skin and reduce inflammation. This also helps soothe milder skin lesions like scratches or razor burns.
Contains antioxidants: It contains antioxidants to help fight off free-radical damage. Less free-radical damage = healthy and youthful-looking skin.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is made by pressing olives and then expressing their oil.
Benefits:
Contains antioxidants: Antioxidants in olive oil help combat oxidative stress & free radicals, which are associated with skin aging.
Moisturizing: Olive oil contains squalene and vitamin E. Squalene supports the skin’s moisture retention, whereas vitamin E increases the skin’s capacity to absorb and retain water.
Anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial: These properties help aid in wound healing.
