| Ingredient | Description |
| Beeswax | An edible way to help turn products from a cream into a balm. |
| Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter | A cream coloured fatty butter extracted from Cocoa Beans. Sometimes called the “ultimate” moisturiser, it is used to ‘superfat’ our milk soaps. This means that as you wash, some oils are left behind which is why our milk soaps have got their legendary following. |
| Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil | Jojoba Oil is one of the most moisturising skin care oils around and is one of our all-time favourite moisturising oils. It is light and sinks into the skin easily. Curiously, Jojoba Oil is actually a liquid wax. It is also very non comedogenic meaning that it does not clog the pores. It makes for a good conditioner too. It helps keep the hair shaft smooth and soft. Most hair conditioners use silicone to coat the hair (cyclomethicone or dimethicone), however Jojoba Oil is much more natural and moisturising and doesn’t cause so much build-up. |
| Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil | We used coconut oil as a stabiliser, it also helps to moisturise the skin |
| Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil | Full of fatty acids and anti-oxidants, this oil is one of the best for re-energising mature skin types. |
| Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil | The triglyceride fatty acids present in Castor oil helps the skin to restore the natural moisture balance, thus preventing dryness. Castor oil for skin is extremely beneficial when used in winter as it prevents the skin from drying up. It is also common in home Acne Remedies. We find other oils tend to dissolve into castor oil which gives the Oil Cleansing Method its cleansing properties, making it especially good for oil based makeup, mascara and sunscreens that use penetration enhancers. |
| Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil | High in the types of fatty acids needed for troubled skin. |
| Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil | An oil that is very high in anti-oxidants and is very soothing. Also used in many anti-ageing preparations. |
| Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E) | We use the more expensive, natural Vitamin E in our creams, not synthetic. Natural Vitamin E has up to twice the bioavailability of synthetic forms. Vitamin E has antioxidant action as well as free radical scavenger properties. Abundant assortments of researchers from diversified medical fields have theorized that this can slow the aging process. (Sources: Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, November-December 2001, and Free Radical Biology and Medicine, October 1999). |
| Allantoin | Comfrey Root has long been known as a healing plant. Allantoin was identified as the part of the plant that performed this function and it has since been synthesised to make it more concentrated and effective. So the allantoin we use is the pure ingredient. Allantoin has been termed a cell proliferant in texts such as the "United States Dispensatory". It is said to clean away dead tissue, hastening the growth of new healthy tissue. Allantoin has been also termed a counter irritant. Allantoin produces its desirable effects by promoting and speeding up the healthy, natural processes of the body. It helps the skin to help itself. It is also promoted as preventing lines and wrinkles by assisting skin repair. |
| Citrus Reticulata (Mandarin) Oil | A good antiseptic oil without being a skin irritant. |
