Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil contains skin-enhancing ingredients such as potassium, vitamins B and E, and omega-6 fatty acids. Sunflower oil has been proven safe for all skin types. Used as our “carrier oil”, it protects and restores combinations of skins and is ideal for complexions that do not require intensive nourishment.
Pure Beeswax
Pure Beeswax contains vitamin A, which helps protect the skin from UV radiation and improves the healing of wounds, and is traditionally used as pain, inflammation and itch relief. Beeswax has non-allergenic properties that can make it useful in protecting the skin from airborne allergens. It also provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities.
Distilled Water
FDA’s Guidance on Cosmetic Manufacturing practice Guidelines places heavy emphasis on the quality of water used for topical creams. Our ‘in house’ distilled water is used due to its exceptional purity. A useful solvent like distilled water helps effectively dissolve all the significant ingredients compromising any cosmetic product. During our distillation process, the water tends to absorb CO2 from the air, resulting in a slightly lower pH value, making it compatible with skin’s natural pH level.
