• MURUMURU BUTTER
  is pressed from the reddish-orange fruits of the Astrocaryum murumuru palm tree. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and bactericide properties and is rich in oleic and linoleic oils. As an excellent emollient it helps the skin to retain water by creating a protective film, ideal for dry skin. It will provide long-term moisture.
• UNREFINED CUPUAÇU BUTTER
  Cupuaçu butter has excellent moisturising performance, much higher than Lanolin or Shea Butter and attracts more than double the amount of water. It penetrates the skin quickly and retains moisture. It also helps other ingredients used, to penetrate the skin much faster.
  The high phytosterol content regulates skin lipid production and benefits dry and damaged skin. Cupuaçu butter can be applied to reduce inflammation and TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) of SLS caused irritation.
  Cupuaçu butter has a very nice skin feel despite high concentrations of stearic acid. The butter contains phytosterols and tocopherols plus arachidic acid, a saturated fatty acid.
  Growing wild in the eastern sub-region of the Brazilian Amazonia, unrefined Cupuaçu butter is a butter obtained from the fruit seed of the Cupuaçu tree. It has an earthy/acidic scent which does not overpower the final blend with other ingredients and is quite pleasant. The nuts are harvested between January and June and cold pressed and filtered to yield a cream-coloured butter. 
  I purchase Cupuaçu Butter from a supplier that helps remote indigenous communities throughout the Amazon River basin area, to preserve the natural habitat and directly improve local economic conditions and sustainability.
• PASSION FRUIT OIL
  also known as Maracuja is a soothing and skin softening oil with anti-inflammatory properties, also containing lots of minerals and high levels of linoleic acid, ideal for dry and cracked skin.
• SEA BUCKTHORN 
  has been traditionally used for a wide range of skin ailments and is revered for its nourishing, regenerative, and restorative actions. The pulp of the berries is a powerhouse, containing lots of vitamins (E, C, B1, B2, K), minerals, essential fatty acids and phytosterol. Oil from the Sea Buckthorn berry is a deep red colour due to its high amount of carotenes (41 carotenoids found so far in sea buckthorn) which are beneficial antioxidants and protect against premature skin damage from sun exposure. It as an exceptionally nourishing oil for dry skin and can help to promote the regeneration of skin cells.
• AVOCADO OIL
  is obtained from the ripe Avocado fruit and is generally expressed from the seed. With a generous amount of Palmitoleic Acid it supports the health of your skin, is highly nutritious, protecting, regenerating with good levels of Vitamin A, D and E and is a superb emollient for dry skin, transporting active substances into the dermis.
• JOJOBA OIL
  traditionally held in high regard by Native Americans in the Sonora Desert, is as a vital ingredient in this formulation. It will sink rapidly into your skin for extra moisture, allowing your skin to breathe, and can significantly soften your skin by reducing transepidermal water loss.
• COCOA BUTTER
  is the edible natural fat of the Cocoa Bean (Theobroma Cacao), separated during the process of making chocolate and cocoa powder. 
  Cocoa Butter has fantastic moisturising qualities as it is rich in essential fatty acids that nourish and protect the skin. It absorbs easily, leaving your skin silky soft, smooth and intensely hydrated. People with dry skin or eczema also need products that deliver lots of moisture to keep skin supple. Cocoa Butter, with its intensive hydration properties, may be used to give skin a non-irritating moisture boost.
• CAMELLIA SEED OIL
  has been recognised for centuries in Japan for its highly restorative effect on the skin. It is said to be responsible for the peachy skin and long nails of Japanese women. It is also known for being one of the most rapidly absorbed oils yet has an outstanding moisture retaining ability without clogging pores. Camellia Seed is high in Vitamin A, B, C and E and Oleic Acid, giving it excellent skin conditioning properties, protecting your skin from drying out while replenishing with vital nutrients and calms easily irritated skin.
• Herbalists value CALENDULA as a healer and it has been widely used as a remedy since ancient times. It is an infusion of Marigold flowers and has been applied topically in popular medicine for slow healing wounds, bed sores, bruises, cuts, scratches, inflammations, eczema, ulcers and burns. Calendula is also recognised as an effective astringent and therefore has a tightening effect on the skin.
