OLIVE OIL
​
What is it?
Olive oil is pressed from whole, ripe olives. The oil is separated from the ground olives and the water to acheive the final product.
Why do we use it?
It's packed with antioxidants that help prevent skin damage and vitamins that nourish our skin. It also gives skin that healthy glow by moisturizing deep into the layers of the skin.
What kind do we use?
Our olive oil is extra virgin and organic.

BEESWAX
​
What is it?
Beeswax is created in the salivary glands of honey bees. The bees secrete this wax to build their honeycombs. Beeswax has been used at least since the ancient Egyptians, who used it for everything from embalming to preserving writings to medical prescriptions.
Why do we use it?
For one, beeswax is a humectant, which means it helps retain water, keeping your skin happy and hydrated. And two, it keeps the body butter solid, even on hot summer days.
What kind do we use?
Our beeswax is all-natural, unprocessed and raw. It does undergo filtering to remove unwanted debris, but that process is 100% chemical free and does not alter the beeswax. We source our beeswax from small farms that are committed to sustainable practices.

SHEA BUTTER
​
What is it?
Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) comes from the shea, or Karite, tree. The nuts of the shea fruit are ground and roasted into shea butter. Throughout the African Shea Belt, especially in the West African savanna, shea butter has been used for centuries for natural skin and hair care, with evidence showing that it has been farmed for at least 1000 years.
Why do we use it?
Shea butter, apart from being a super-moisturizer, boosts collagen production (which keeps your skin strong and discourages wrinkles) and aids in reducing inflammation. Lastly, it provides some protection against UV radiation (roughly SPF 6).
What kind do we use?
Our shea butter is raw, unrefined, and unbleached.
COCONUT OIL
​
What is it?
Coconut oil is made by pressing the meaty part of mature coconuts. Although it is more of a recent trend, tropical countries have used it for many years, as both a staple cooking ingredient and as nourishment for skin and hair.
Why do we use it?
It's an all-natural skin care must have! It's loaded with antioxidants, like vitamin E, that repair and nourish our skin, saturated fats that hydrate and protect our skin, and fatty acids, like lauric acid, that have potent antimicrobial properties.
What kind do we use?
Our coconut oil is extra virgin, organic, unrefined, and cold-pressed, meaning it is not heated, allowing it to retain its antioxidants and beneficial properties.

JOJOBA OIL
​
What is it?
Jojoba oil is actually a plant wax that is created by the seeds of the jojoba plant. However, it is liquid at room temperature, which is why it is typically referred to as an "oil".
Why do we use it?
Jojoba oil is the closest natural alternative to sebum (the oily substance our bodies secrete to keep our skin and hair moisturized). This means that it keeps our skin smooth and prevents it from drying out just as sebum does. Jojoba oil has high concentrations of vitamin E, to keep your skin healthy and young.
What kind do we use?
Our jojoba oil is an unrefined, organic, first-press golden jojoba oil.

ARROWROOT POWDER
​
What is it?
Arrowroot powder is made by grinding and drying the roots of the arrowroot plant.
Why do we use it?
The powder is a delicate skin softener and moisturizer that removes excess oil from the skin. With it, our body butter keeps your skin soft, while removing excess oils.
What kind do we use?
We use organic arrowroot powder that is washed, pulverized, and dried without the use of chemicals.
TEA TREE ESSENTIAL OIL
​
What is it?
Tea tree, or Melaleuca alternifolia, essential oil, is steam distilled from the leaves of the tea tree, which is a large shrub or small tree endemic to Australia.
Why do we use it?
It is not only an extremely effective antimicrobial agent, but also gently helps to clear the skin by removing blemishes and promoting healthy cells. You may just want to keep your own bottle at home!
What kind do we use?
We only use steam-distilled tea tree essential oil that is 3rd-party certified to be 100% pure and natural.
TRUE LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL
​
What is it?
There are a few different types of lavender essential oil, but the kind that we use is known as true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). This oil is typically steam distilled.
Why do we use it?
True lavender essential oil is well-known for its calming and relaxing effect, but it is equally good for the skin. It is particularly helpful for dry, chapped skin.
What kind do we use?
We only use steam-distilled true lavender essential oil that is 3rd-party certified to be 100% pure and natural.
