Ingredients:
GUAVA SEED OIL is prized for its skin-nourishing properties. Packed with antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E, it helps protect against environmental damage, while its essential fatty acids maintain skin's moisture barrier, promoting hydration and suppleness. The oil's anti-inflammatory qualities can soothe irritation and redness, making it useful for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Additionally, its potential to stimulate collagen production contributes to improved skin elasticity and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
HELICHRYSUM ESSENTIAL OIL offers valuable benefits for the skin. Known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it can help soothe skin irritations, redness, and swelling. The oil's regenerative qualities may aid in the healing of scars, wounds, and blemishes by promoting healthy skin cell turnover. Helichrysum oil's potential to improve blood circulation could contribute to a more even skin tone and enhanced overall skin vitality. However, due to its potency, it's important to use this essential oil in diluted form and perform a patch test, especially for sensitive skin types.
JOJOBA OIL is a versatile skincare ingredient known for its benefits. Its molecular structure is similar to natural skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer that doesn't clog pores. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it helps soothe and hydrate dry or irritated skin, and its non-greasy texture makes it suitable for various skin types. Jojoba oil's natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties also contribute to its potential to promote healthier, balanced skin.
MURUMURU BUTTER is a skin-loving ingredient with notable advantages. Derived from murumuru palm seeds, it's rich in essential fatty acids that deeply moisturize and soften the skin. Its high content of lauric acid provides antimicrobial properties that can be beneficial for certain skin conditions. The butter's emollient nature forms a protective barrier, locking in moisture and enhancing skin elasticity. These qualities make murumuru butter a valuable addition to skincare products aiming to nourish, soothe, and improve overall skin texture.
SHEA BUTTER is a prized skincare ingredient recognized for its numerous benefits. Packed with vitamins A and E, it nourishes and hydrates the skin, promoting a smoother and more supple appearance. Its rich fatty acid content helps lock in moisture and soothe dry or irritated skin, making it a go-to solution for issues like eczema or dermatitis. Additionally, shea butter's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties contribute to its effectiveness in supporting skin health and protecting against environmental stressors.
