Benefits

The Benefits

Jojoba oil is low in PUFAs and is full of lovely anti-inflammatory properties which help to tame chaffing and chapping, reduce redness caused by drying, ease the effects of eczema and rosacea, and keep skin calm and comfortable. The Vitamin E and B-complex vitamins in jojoba oil also help in skin repair. Jojoba is similar to our own skin’s sebum, making it bio-adaptable and easy to absorb without clogging pores.

Grass-fed Tallow is rich in the same types of lipids found in youthful, vibrant skin and is packed full of Vitamins A, D, E, and K. The fatty acids in tallow are more bioavailable than plant based oils because tallow is much closer in molecular structure to the oils our own skin produces. Tallow is non-comedogenic, locking in moisture without clogging your pores.

Emu Oil is refined from the fat of emu birds, native to Australia. Traditionally used for sun protection among Australian aboriginals, Emu oil may provide some SPF and is beneficial for healing sunburns. Emu oil deeply hydrates the skin by helping to prevent water loss, and helps heal wounds and blemishes. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, rich in anti-oxidative properties to nourish the skin, slow down wrinkle formation, and ease other aspects of the aging process. The anti-inflammatory aspects of emu oil may offer some relief for arthritic pain.

Grass-fed Ghee provides the deep, softening moisture that your skin craves. With unique antioxidant and radiance-boosting properties, ghee is chock-full of fatty acids and butyrate, making it an ideal ingredient to moisturize sensitive, inflammation-prone skin. Ghee is non-comedogenic and has been used in skincare for thousands of years. Ghee is said to soften and hydrate skin, provide a natural glow, lighten dark spots, repair damaged skin, reduce dark circles and heal minor wounds.

Vitamin E oil is antioxidant-rich and can help improve blood circulation. Its moisturizing properties can make your skin look firm and youthful, as well as helping to slow down the skin aging process. The combination of vitamin A (in things like beeswax) and vitamin E may help in removing acne-causing bacteria. Vitamin E can also reduce hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Cocoa Butter is naturally high in fatty acids. This creates a protective barrier that holds in moisture, improves elasticity, and prevents your skin from drying. In addition, it's high in antioxidants that repair and protect against free radical damage. It makes a wonderfully nourishing addition to your skincare routine! 

Beeswax helps lock in moisture and can act as a protective barrier for your skin. It is rich in Vitamin A and can help protect your skin from environmental damage. Beeswax also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-fungal properties and has been known to help heal acne, eczema, psoriasis, and stretch marks.

Fir Needle Essential Oil offers potent anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and astringent benefits making it ideal for troubled skin and enlarged pores.

Black Spruce Essential Oil is known to soothe minor skin irritations with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities. The aroma of black spruce is clean, refreshing, and uplifting.

Juniper Berry Essential Oil is naturally rich in antioxidants and purifying compounds that help clarify and protect the skin. These powerful little berries help support circulation, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and encourage clear complexion. Juniper's crisp, pine forest scent refreshes the senses, bringing balance to both skin and spirit.

Cypress Essential Oil can improve skin elasticity and firmness by boosting blood circulation and collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines. Cypress' astringent qualities help to naturally smooth and tone.

Pine Essential Oil is cleansing and anti-bacterial, making it a wonderful addition to any skin-soothing, acne-fighting blend. The familiar clean aroma helps to clear the mind as it refreshes your skin.

Cedarwood Essential Oil is anti-fungal, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory with a soothing, grounding aroma to match.

Frankincense Essential Oil is distilled from the resin of the Boswellia tree. This treasured oil has been sought after for centuries for its restorative and rejuvenating qualities. In skincare, it helps smooth the appearance of fine lines, tone uneven skin, and support cellular renewal for a more radiant complexion. The grounding, resinous aroma of Frankincense calms the mind and encourages healing. 

Vetiver Essential Oil is rich in antioxidants and promotes skin cell regeneration, making it beneficial for reducing scars, dark spots, and blemishes. Known as the "oil of tranquility", Vetiver's earthy aroma is grounding and soothing.
