How To Use

Apply a small amount and rub between hands to soften before applying. Best applied to slightly damp skin after a shower but can be applied to dry skin also. We always suggest trying a small amount of any product on your skin to confirm that there is no reaction.

This product does not contain any emulsifiers or fillers, so to maintain the creamy texture, store below 30 degrees. If the Body Butter does separate in heat you can refrigerate and it will resolidify.

Organic Shea Butter - Unrefined (Butyrospermum parkii) 

Shea Butter is without a doubt one of the most amazing natural ingredients used for skincare and cosmetics. It is the fat extracted from the nuts of the Shea Tree which are native to West Africa and due to being extremely rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins is excellent for restoring suppleness and moisture to the skin. 

We have chosen the Organic Unrefined Shea Butter which has a slightly nutty scent profile rather than refined Shea Butter which while scentless, loses some of the vital ingredients of the butter. The fatty acids in Shea such as lineoleic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acids protect the skin by improving its natural barrier and helps to condition and soothe the skin. It also contains Vitamins A, E and F. The high levels of Vitamins A and E in Shea Butter help promote antioxidant activity to assist with premature ageing  of skin cells. 

Although Shea Butter is technically a tree nut product it is no known to contain irritants or large quantities of the proteins that can trigger allergies and is generally safe for every skin type. 

Organic Virgin Rosehip Red Seed Oil (Rosa rubiginosa) 

Rosehip Oil contains Vitamin C and A and essential fatty acids such as oleic acid; palmitic acid, and linoleic acid. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and is used to reduce UV light damage to the skin. It also is a “natural retinol” due to containing retinoic acid. 

The composition profile of Rosehip helps to stimulate cells and product collagen and elastin. It is used to assist in reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as hydrating the skin. 

Virgin Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) 

One of our favourites for such a long time, Jojoba is a plant wax and mainly made up of wax esters.  Wax esters are similar to the sebum which is the moisturising  substance found in human skin. As a result of this similarity to the sebum it moisturises and penetrates the skins deep layers but allows the pores to function as normal. 

Rich in antioxidants, omegas and Vitamins A, D and E it restores balance and allows the skin to function as it was designed to do. It is an ideal natural moisturiser and is suited to all skin types, young and mature alike. 

Jojoba is hypoallergenic owing to its similarity with sebum wax and many people use it after their skin has proved to be too sensitive for other cosmetics.
