 Organic Beeswax

Beeswax is used in cosmetic and skincare products as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and humectants, it has emollient, soothing and softening properties and helps the skin retain moisture.

Beeswax is “noncomedogenic,” which means that it does not clog pores. In addition it is also antibacterial and contains Vitamin A.

Organic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil represents a safe and healthy substance with benefits for many organs of the body. The skin is no exception, and people have been using coconut oil as a skin remedy for centuries.

Coconut oil is a major ingredient in many natural skin moisturizers due to its oils and high fat content. The oil is made up of about 90 percent saturated fats with traces of skin-strengthening vitamin E as well. As a moisturizer, you can apply coconut oil to all skin types, and the oil is especially effective for dry skin.

Coconut oil is very useful for the treatment of minor burns, like sunburn, as its small molecular structure allows for easy absorption into the skin. The addition of oil to damaged skin cells allows them to increase the flexibility and internal moisturizing necessary for healthy skin. Coconut oil also contains antioxidants that promote healthy cell regeneration over time.

Shea Butter

The fat of the nut of the African Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is the source of Shea butter. The traditional use of the butter is to reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars and stretch marks, and to ease a variety of skin irritations, such as psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. Shea butter is ideal for the topical application of cosmetic and medicinal formulas, because it melts on contact and is readily absorbed into the skin, without leaving a greasy residue.

The healing qualities of Shea butter are due to the presence of several fatty acids and plant sterols, namely oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids. Scientists report that Shea butter not only demonstrated anti-inflammatory benefits, but one compound, lupeol cinnamate, also prevented tumor development.

Shea butter contains vitamins A and E, as well as catechins, plant antioxidants also found in green tea. While it is unclear how well vitamins A and E in raw Shea butter are absorbed, there is evidence to suggest that cinnamic acid esters in Shea fat help to prevent skin damage from ultraviolet radiation

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter is one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats known, melts at body temperature so that it is readily absorbed into the skin which gives immediately relief to dry and irritated skin.

Cacau (like it is called in Brazil) butter contains high amounts of natural antioxidant Vitamin E among other vitamins and minerals. Vitamin E helps to soothe, hydrate and balance the skin, improving collagen reduction which avoids wrinkles and other signs of aging.

A chemical substance called polyphenol is responsible for inhibiting the production of the immune globulin which makes Cacau butter a natural remedy for dermatitis, helps relieve stress and boosts the immune system preventing several diseases.

Theobromine, also known as xantheose, the bitter alkaloid of the cacau plant has been used for centuries for the treatment of edemas, arteriosclerosis among other vascular disorders. Cacau Butter also has been used for preventing and treating stretch marks during pregnancy and weigh control programs.
