Active ingredients

Shea butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter)

The Shea fruit tree grows to a height of about 20 metres and only grows wild in the West African savannahs. For thousands of years, the kernels have been crushed into an extremely nutritious nut fat or butter packed with vitamins, minerals, proteins and a unique composition of essential fatty acids. Unrefined shea butter has the highest number of healing and moisturising properties as well as the highest percentage of active ingredients of all butters and oils. Shea butter is particularly nourishing, moisturising and soothing for the skin and hair. It is anti-inflammatory, promotes the healing process and restores the skin barrier, promotes 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.

Argan oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)

Scientific studies have shown that organic argan oil revitalises the skin and gives new impetus to vital cell functions.

The natural skin barrier is restored and free radicals are neutralised, effectively preventing skin damage and premature skin ageing. This organic argan oil from Morocco revitalises the skin and stimulates its natural functions. The powerful antioxidants neutralise free radicals, support the skin barrier and help prevent premature skin ageing. Ideal for restoring elasticity and suppleness.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Natural vitamin E protects against oxidative stress, supports the preservation of the formula and contributes to healthy, resilient skin.
