INGREDIENT PROFILES

  • MARULA OIL
    Cold pressed from the Marula tree seeds native to Southern Africa and Madagascar. Traditionally it has been used in African medicinal and beauty treatments for centuries, as it is known to protect skin from harsh and dry elements, and aids in healing. It is lightweight and rich in oleic Omega 9 and linoleic Omega 6 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining fresh, younger looking skin by deeply nourishing, hydrating and improving the overall health of the skin. Due to its high content of antioxidents, such as Vitamin E and Tocotrienol, Marula Oil is wonderful when it comes to protecting the skin from common problems such as free radicals, photo-ageing and general weather damage.
  • SHEA BUTTER
    is rich in vitamins, plant sterols, vitamins and softens, protects against drying and nourishes the skin. It prevents moisture loss, protects against the elements and helps renew cracked, aged and damaged skin and can help with soreness, skin rashes and itching, acne, sunburn, scars. Shea butter gets to work deep in the skin and leaves it feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.
  • ALOE VERA
    has been used for centuries and it is more popular today than ever. It is cultivated around the world as a crop for its colourless jelly-like leaf parenchyma known as 'aloe gel'. It is used for a variety of purposes in food, food supplements, herbal remedies and cosmetics. Aloe Vera leaf parenchyma (aloe gel) may be effective when used on the skin against psoriasis, burns, frostbite, and sores caused by the Herpes simplex virus.
  • OAT EXTRACT
    is a superior soothing ingredient for sensitive, dry, flaky skin and atopic skin conditions. It is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and moisturising characteristics with a high linoleic acid content. Phospholipids contained in Oat Extract support the barrier function helping to keep the skin in healthy condition.
  • BISABOLOL
    Alpha Bisabolol is the major active component of Chamomile. It has long been used in cosmetics for its anti-inflammatory, healing & soothing, anti-microbial properties and stimulating collagen production. It is particularly suited for sensitive skin where it protects from daily stress and the effects of pollution. Hyperpigmentation is reduced as Bisabolol helps to inhibit melanin production which is responsible for age spots.
  • VITAMIN A
    promotes enzyme activity in the skin, counteracts inflammations and protects cell membranes from the damage caused by free radicals and in this way helps to prevent skin disorders. It counteracts inflammation and can regenerate skin prematurely aged by photodamage.
  • EVENING PRIMROSE
    is a plant native to North America but it grows in Europe and parts of the Southern hemisphere as well. It has yellow flowers that bloom in the evening. It was used by the North American Indian medicine men to make an infusion for healing wounds, gastrointestinal complaints and sore throats.
    Where evening primrose oil is pressed from the seeds of Oenothera biennis, it is important to note that it is an exceptionally fine textured oil which is easily absorbed, with high levels of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and also antioxidant Phytosterols. 
    Numerous clinical studies are available that detail the effectiveness on atopic dermatitis
    Used cosmetically or topically in general, Evening Primrose Carrier Oil exhibits superb soothing and moisturising properties, and it is gentle enough for use on sensitive and prematurely ageing skin. It is reputed to not only moisturise but to also enhance elasticity as well as the texture of flaking or peeling skin, making it an ideal ingredient for mature skin. With astringent and softening properties, it promotes the look of a healthy, clear, rejuvenated complexion with enhanced radiance. By addressing roughness, wrinkles, redness, dryness, and irritation, it is reputed to soothe skin afflicted with acne, allergies, eczema, and psoriasis. 
    Today, people are also using evening primrose oil dietary supplements for eczema (a condition involving red, swollen, itchy skin, sometimes caused by allergies), rheumatoid arthritis, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), breast pain, menopause symptoms, and other conditions.
    HISTORY OF EVENING PRIMROSE OIL USAGE
    Europe: Known to be regal and noble enough for Kings and Queen’s to use in medicinal applications, Evening Primrose is famously referred to as the ‘King’s Cure-All.’ Historically, in Europe, various parts of the Evening Primrose botanical – such as its seeds, fresh flowers, leaves, and roots – as well as its essential fatty acid were used in medicinal applications to address symptoms of acne, asthma, diabetes, eczema, fatigue, loss of libido and impotence, menstruation and menopause, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, poor memory, and rheumatism.
    Asia: In Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, the plant’s and its oil’s therapeutic properties were revered and used to regulate and address issues associated with circulation, inflammation, the female reproductive system and the respiratory and nervous systems.
    America: Among various Native American groups and in communities of early settlers, the plant’s various parts were used to make infusions, poultices, and topical pastes intended to address wounds. For some tribes, the plant’s roots even made up part of their staple diet. Its benefits were also used to support nutrition and nourishment as well as to soothe discomforts such as sore throats, stomach aches, gastrointestinal problems, and hemorrhoids.
    Since the 17th century, Evening Primrose Oil has gained popularity for its remedial activity and has been used in Europe since then for medicinal purposes.  (Source NDA 14 May 2018).

I find this moisturizer is smooth and lightweight. I was disappointed that I received unscented when I thought I ordered scented. Otherwise your products are wonderful as ever.

Never been so impressed!

! I just wanted to update you on my use of the cleansing oil and calming moisturiser. Oh my goodness I have never been so impressed by skincare products. I’m absolutely in love! I have highly sensitive skin and there is a history of rosacea in my family but these products are truly amazing. Any acne, scarring, and hyper-pigmentation has reduced massively just from using these products for a short amount of time. I’m only 20 but I really believe in taking care of your skin properly with natural, beneficial products and I am so delighted that I found your wonderful brand. I have just placed another order with you to try out some more products and I can’t wait to see what they are like! I have tried out so many different brands and products that I hoped would work with my skin and they never have, so I am ecstatic that I have now found a sole brand to use for my entire skincare routine. Thank you so much again for your amazing work!

Thank you for this calming moisturizer. I have rosacea which can really flare up however since using this moisturizer my skin has remained calm and the redness is minimal, which beats any other that I have tried. A plus for me is that it doesn't contain any steroid or any other chemicals. I loved it so much I have also bought other products. I would recommend this product 😁. X

-- The calming moisturiser is equally brilliant [cleansing cream]! Although it is fragrance free it still has a delicate scent which relaxes me incredibly. No more redness. Devine! --
Der calming moisturiser ist ebenfalls ein Wahnsinn! Obwohl parfumfrei ein zarter Geruch, der mich gleich unheimlich entspannt. Und keine rötungen mehr. Traumhaft!

I have been using this moisturiser for about 2 months now (bought 2 bottles when it was on offer ) and I can honestly say that it has improved my red, blotchy, scaly skin so much! I have dry, eczema skin so am using it day and night and find that it sinks in nicely and it makes my skin feel less dry and more comfortable.
