ingredients we are proud of

Learn about the fabulous ingredients we use to create our amazing products!

Almond Oil
Used as a nutrient for softening and conditioning the skin. Almond oil is rich in protein and offers relief for itchy or inflamed skin. It is excellent for help in healing and moisturizing dry and chapped skin. It is nutrient-rich and is suitable for all skin types.

Avocado Oil
Avocados are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E, and can provide skin with deep moisture. The oil of an avocado is able to penetrate the skin with its thin consistency; it is also thick enough to serve as a protective barrier on the skin, much like a lotion. It can help soothe sunburned skin. Avocado oil also contains sterolins, which are natural steroids. They may be effective in boosting collagen production and in treating age spots. With its high level of vitamin E, avocado oil may reduce itching and inflammation of the skin and is also beneficial in softening rough and cracked skin. (Description from Livestrong.com)

Castor Oil
Castor oil is expressed from the seed of the castor bean plant. It is known to be of help to dry and aging skin because of its humectant properties. It is often used as an emollient and skin softener and has been known to be used in the treatment of skin disorders such as Psoriasis.

Coconut Oil
Good oil for dry, itchy skin and will not clog pores.

Essential Oils
All-natural oil, usually having characteristic odor or flavor of the plant from which it is obtained, used to make perfumes and flavorings.

Exfoliants
A substance of texture used to slough off dirt and dead cells from the surface of the skin. Some of the exfoliants we use are bamboo powder, cranberry seeds, crushed orange and lemon peels, toasted coconut, poppy seeds, and ground vanilla bean.

Fragrance Oils
A fragrance oil is a synthetic fragrance; the man-made version of a scent. Often times fragrance oils begin with essential oils. Sometimes only a fragrance oil will do the trick--think of it as an aroma-therapeutic experience--it works for us!

Vegetable Glycerin
Is a humectant, which means that it attracts moisture to your skin.

Pure Cane Sugar
We use a pure cane sugar from Mexico. This sugar is made from 100% cane juice. It is a coarser cut than regular white sugar, ensuring an extreme exfoliating session.

Sesame Oil
This ultra moisturizing oil is rich in Vitamins B and E to help soothe itchy, angry skin. Helps protect your precious sun against sun damage and makes for amazing skincare products.

Shea Butter
Made from the nut of the Karite tree in Africa. African healers have used it for centuries as the ideal treatment for dry, aging skin. Shea oil has all of the wonderful properties of shea butter but is easier to use in certain formulations due to its lower melting point.

Soy Wax
100% natural vegetable wax made from the soybean oil. We make our candles with this clean-burning, smooth wax for the best scent throw possible!
