SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter, extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree, is a skincare powerhouse celebrated for its myriad benefits. Packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins, shea butter deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin, promoting a supple and radiant complexion. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it an ideal choice for soothing irritated or sensitive skin, while antioxidants contribute to the skin's elasticity and overall health. Whether combating dryness, reducing the appearance of fine lines, or offering relief to conditions like eczema or dermatitis, shea butter stands as a versatile and indulgent solution for achieving and maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
HEMP SEED OIL
Hemp seed oil has a very similar composition of fats and amino acids as natural skin oils, making it one of the most well tolerated carrier oils for all skin types. Light, thin consistency of this “dry” oil makes it a particularly good moisturizer for oily and acne-prone skin. Its astringent properties help control excess sebum production, tone the skin, and tighten large pores. Rich in magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, zinc and phosphorus, vitamins B, E and C, as well as essential fatty acids, including omega-3, omega-6 and gamma-linolenic acid, hemp seed oil is an excellent emollient. Hemp seed oil improves the appearance of skin by increasing circulation. It also reduces redness and inflammation associated with acne breakouts and is a great treatment for eczema, psoriasis, and dry, itchy skin.
COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that help prevent aging and damage to the skin. It is the most abundant source of lauric acid, a fatty acid known for its antimicrobial and moisturizing properties. Aside from its anti-aging and skin-healing abilities, it promotes the production of collagen. Naturally rich in vitamin E, it protects the skin from sun damage.
SODIUM HYDROXIDE
Making soap requires sodium hydroxide (lye), water, and oil to start the chemical process of saponification. While a fair amount of lye may be used to create the soap, a properly finished product doesn’t contain sodium hydroxide anymore.
PINYON PINE ESSENTIAL OIL
Pinyon pine essential oil is a skincare elixir with a rejuvenating touch and a distinctive woody scent. Recognized for its potent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, pinyon pine oil aids in promoting clear and healthy skin. Its crisp, resinous aroma not only revitalizes the senses but also offers a refreshing and invigorating experience. Pinyon pine essential oil is known to support skin elasticity and collagen production, contributing to a supple and youthful complexion.
MICA POWDER
Mica is the name given to a group of silicate minerals used in makeups. Ground mica has reflective properties, delivering a shimmery effect. Mica minerals are considered a better option for use on skin than products containing artificial dyes likely to cause irritation.
