Shea Butter (Mandingo, Karité)

A plant-based butter rich in stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids.

It contains a notably high unsaponifiable fraction up to 8 percent, comprising provitamin A, vitamin E, sterols, triterpene alcohols, and cinnamic acid esters known to offer UVB protection.

Sesame Oil

Sesame oil is a valuable source of vitamin E, B complex vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. It also contains protein and lecithin. Despite its rich and dense texture, it is widely used to help treat eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin, thanks to its excellent moisturizing properties.

Sesame oil has strong moisturizing, soothing, and softening qualities. For this reason it works beautifully when blended into a moisturizer.

Beeswax

It is widely used in cosmetics and is one of the key ingredients in many skincare formulations.

The skin readily absorbs beeswax and takes on a smooth, delicate appearance. Beeswax is produced by the wax glands of worker bees.

Honey masks combined with beeswax are significantly more effective than commercial creams and ointments.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is one of nature’s purest care essentials and an exceptional cleanser that dissolves oils and buildup. With regular use, it purifies the skin and reduces the likelihood of inflammation, bacterial growth, and fungal issues.

It supports the regeneration of skin tissue and helps regulate the skin’s natural moisture balance. It also softens and nourishes the skin while encouraging renewal and recovery; it tones and firms, is rich in vitamin E, and is a natural source of antioxidants, which visibly slows the signs of skin aging.

Coconut Oil

It absorbs into the skin quickly, far faster than oils such as borage, olive, sunflower, or even almond oil. Research indicates that coconut oil contains phytosterols, which are believed to contribute to its anti-inflammatory and restorative properties.

As an ingredient in skincare products, or used on its own, coconut oil delivers excellent hydration and softens the skin. After application, the skin feels velvety smooth.

Cocoa Butter

An excellent skin protector, naturally rich in vitamin E. It is widely recognized and used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical care to reduce dryness and enhance skin elasticity.

It helps prevent moisture loss and is frequently selected for massage treatments, body lotions, lip balms, and as a nourishing addition to soaps.
