COCOA BUTTER: A natural humectant, emollient, and occlusive. Adding an extra layer of protection to skin or lips, helping to lock in moisture. It is useful for helping to block the effects of sun damage, extreme cold, or dry indoor heat. Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants, helping to reduce skin damage while soothing sensitive skin. Cocoa butter’s natural moisturizing qualities help to heal skin deep from within, not just on the surface. Cocoa butter can be helpful in treating minor burns.
BEESWAX: A natural humectant, emollient, and occlusive. A useful skin protector due to its non-allergenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Beeswax contains natural moisturizers which help keep skin soft, firm, and lock in moisture provided by cocoa butter or coconut oil. Beeswax can be helpful in treating minor burns.
COCONUT OIL: A natural emollient, and occlusive. Naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and moisturizing, which helps to cleanse and soothe the skin. Coconut oil contains 3 fatty acids: capric acid, lauric acid and caprylic acid, each of which kill candida, a common cause of fungal infection. Coconut Oil contains Vitamin E which helps to restore dry skin by strengthening skin tissue and eliminating dead skin cells, helping to protect skin from damage over time.
ALMOND OIL: A natural emollient. A mild hypoallergenic oil good for sensitive skin. Due to its antioxidant properties it helps protect skin from UV damage and keeps skin soft. Because almond oil absorbs easily into the skin it helps to moisturize, relieves inflammation, itchiness or redness. It’s high in vitamin A and helps to cleanse pores while also helping to prevent future blockages.
