Active ingredients

Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter)

The shea fruit tree grows to a height of around 20 metres and is found only in the wild on the West African savannahs. For thousands of years, the kernels have been crushed into an extremely nutrient-rich nut fat or butter packed with vitamins, minerals, proteins and a unique composition of essential fatty acids. Unrefined shea butter possesses the greatest number of healing and moisturising properties, as well as the highest percentage of active ingredients of all butters and oils. Shea butter is exceptionally nourishing, moisturising and soothing for the skin and hair. It has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes the healing process and restores the skin barrier, encourages cell renewal and elasticity, and protects against extreme weather conditions and UV radiation. High-quality organic shea butter is beneficial for dry, chapped and irritated skin, itching, sunburn, eczema, skin allergies, insect bites and minor skin wounds, and it reduces fine wrinkles and lines.

Sesame oil

This cold-pressed and fair trade organic sesame oil is very rich in vitamin E (between 20–50 mg per 100 g), minerals, selenium and linoleic acid (a source of the natural antioxidants lecithin and sesamolin) and is used in many Ayurvedic recipes. It restores suppleness to the skin, reduces irritation and is particularly suitable for sensitive, reactive or redness-prone skin.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that protects the formula and helps defend the skin against oxidative stress. It contributes to more supple, resilient skin and helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture balance.
