SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter is packed with a range of fatty acids which provides moisture to the skin. It restores the barrier between your skin and the outside environment, retaining moisture and reducing your risk of dryness. Shea butter is an anti-inflammatory, as well as an anti-oxidant which helps to repair damaged skin and replenish the lost moisture. With high levels of vitamin A and E, it also has antifungal and antibacterial properties, as well as promoting cell regeneration.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble, essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin E helps support cell function, and skin health. It’s an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of toxins in the environment. Vitamin E is also beneficial at reducing UV damage to skin.
SAFFLOWER OIL
Safflower oil moisturises the skin and is rich in protective anti-oxidants. Because it helps skin retain water, it leaves the skin radiant, soft, and smooth. Safflower oil also helps to enhance the texture and tone of the skin. It's also noncomedogenic meaning it doesn't clog the pores. The linoleic acid in safflower oil is thought to help maintain the integrity of the outer layer of your skin by preventing flaking.
JOJOBA OIL
By boosting the skins moisture, jojoba oil helps diminish dullness and up your glow. It can relieve the skin by controlling oil production and preventing bacteria growth which can often cause conditions like body acne. Vitamin E, a strong antioxidant, helps reduce inflammation and speed up cell regeneration both in the body and skin, making jojoba oil a great treatment for sunburn. The combination of vitamin E and iodine helps heal inflamed or compromised skin, like that caused by eczema. Jojoba oil is great at moisturising dry skin as it balances the body’s oils by tricking the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil
CHIA SEEDS
The high levels of antioxidants in chia seeds help fight free radical damage caused by UV exposure. This further helps keep signs of ageing, like fine lines and wrinkles, at bay. Chia seeds consist of cooling properties that can help soothe inflammation and keep your skin healthy and calm, great for conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Chia seeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that help strengthen this barrier and keep it protected from environmental harm. It also adds a glow to your skin due to the high amounts of vitamin A and vitamin C which helps to boost skin luminosity and elasticity.
