Why we use the ingredients we have selected?

Our ingredients are gentle on the skin, help aid skin penetration of the natural ingredients and they also act as a natural preservative.

Moisturising:

The skin needs to be kept moisturised by using creams and oils that can help to hydrate the skin and prevent dryness, flaking and itching. This is especially important in cold or dry weather conditions, or for people with naturally dry skin.
 

Protection: 

Creams and oils can help to protect the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution, UV radiation and harsh weather conditions. They can also provide a barrier to prevent water loss from the skin.
 

Nourishing: 

Some creams and oils contain vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that can help to nourish the skin and promote a healthy appearance.
 

Healing: 

Creams and oils can help to soothe and heal irritated or damaged skin, such as sunburns or minor cuts and scrapes.

When some of the ingredients are used together they aid skin penetration of the natural ingredients and they also act as a natural preservative.
