100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS
PURE CARRIER OILS
A carrier oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fatty
portion of a plant, usually from the seeds, kernels or the
nuts. The carrier oils used in our skin care products are
all extracted by the cold-press method. In this process
the fatty oil portions are extracted and collected without
using heat.
Each carrier oil offers a different combination of
therapeutic properties and
characteristics.
Sweet Almond Oil
Great for all
skin types as an acting emollient, it is best known for its
ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition
the skin. It is exceptionally rich in fatty
acids.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and
prematurely aged skin. Apricot Kernel oil contains the
essential fatty acids oleic and linoleic acid. It is also high
in vitamins A and E. All of these substances can help to
soothe irritated skin while also
moisturizing.
Avocado Oil
Ultra rich oil
containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E.
Also contains amino acids, sterols, pantothenic acid, lecithin,
and other essential fatty acids. Highly recommended to those
with sensitive skin, problem skin and other
irritations that require vitamin rich oil.
Camellia Oil
An excellent
anti-oxidant. This oil protects the skin from free radical
damage. Camellia oil is a superb emollient and wonderful
skin moisturizer. It helps to restore proper pH balance and has
a buffering quality that acts as an effective shield to protect
skin from environmental pollutants. Camellia Oil
soothes and calms irritated skin, and
blocks out ultra violet
rays.
Hazelnut Oil
Most commonly
used in products designed for dry skin, it has
essential fatty acids that soothe irritated skin. Helps tone,
tighten and firm the skin’s elasticity, stimulates circulation,
encourages cell regeneration and filters UV
Rays.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil (a
natural wax) is similar to sebum, which is secreted by human
sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin. When sebum
production decreases due to age, pollutants, or environmental
stresses, jojoba oil can be used to replicate sebum
oil. A "must have" for all face cream
products.
Sesame Oil
Sesame Oil is
rich in vitamins E and B, and in minerals such as calcium,
magnesium and phosphorus. It is an excellent
emollient absorbed quickly through the skin, making
the skin look and feel soft and resilient.
Sunflower Oil
An oil wealthy in oleic acids with high amounts of Vitamins
A, D, and E, and beneficial amounts of lecithin, and
unsaturated fatty acids. Deeply nourishing and
conditioning for the skin, it is highly recommended
for dry, weathered, aged and damaged skin.

skin cells making it a choice product to protect, nurture and

shea butter is widely recognized and helps to maintain the skin

Vegetable Glycerine
A clear,

epidermis in retaining moisture. A bonus for very dry
