We only support businesses that practice fair and responsible treatment to the peoples supplying these raw materials and we never test on animals nor do we support business that test on animals.

Activated Charcoal

Activated Charcoal is charcoal that has been treated (activated) by exposing it to very high heat. This exposure to heat creates a much larger surface area and forces the charcoal to open up and form pores, giving it superior absorption abilities (think of it like a sponge). When the dirt and oil inside the pores come into contact with the activated charcoal, they bind to it and then are washed away when the skin is rinsed. The use of charcoal for skincare is not new. There is evidence showing the ancient Egyptians treated their skin with charcoal thousands of years ago.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera’s benefits for the skin are well known; from moisturizing the skin to soothing inflammation. It is especially helpful when used in soaps since many soaps can be drying. Aloe Vera helps to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture, but it also moisturizes the skin in another way. The sugars Aloe Vera contains, also known as mucopolysaccharides, help to retain moisture in the skin. The Mucopolysaccharides in the plant when applied topically, have been shown to increase the water content of the outermost layer of skin (the stratum corneum), making it an ideal ingredient for dry skin types.

Aloe Vera Powder

Aloe Vera powder is obtained from the Aloe Vera plant when the gel from the plant is rinsed to remove remnants of the juice, dehydrated, and ground into a fine powder. High in vitamin C, E and beta-carotene, Aloe Vera absorbs easily and quickly into the skin and can help to increase the production of collagen, increasing elasticity and diminishing the appearance of age lines. It is an anti-inflammatory helping to heal the skin, eradicating skin blemishes and redness.

Apple Fiber Powder

Apples are high in naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acids, which have the ability to tone and tighten the skin. This natural fruit powder is said to impart all of the skin firming benefits that apples have to offer. Alpha-hydroxy acids are also natural exfoliants with the ability to naturally and very gently get rid of dead skin on the skin's surface, revealing the fresh, new skin underneath.

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot Kernel Oil is rich in gamma linoleic acid, or GLA, which comes from essential fatty acid omega-6. The GLA content in Apricot Kernel Oil helps skin maintain its moisture balance. GLA also plays a role in firming and toning the skin. Additionally, Apricot Kernel Oil contains Vitamin A and E, which soothe the skin and slow signs of aging. The nourishing properties of Apricot Kernel Oil have an anti-inflammatory effect and may soothe minor skin conditions such as eczema. It is especially good for dehydrated, delicate, mature or damaged skin.

Argan Oil

Often called liquid gold, Argan Oil is gaining popularity as a miracle ingredient. It has extremely high levels of Vitamin E and 80% fatty acids which make it perfect for healing many skin ailments as well as protecting against premature aging caused by oxidation by restoring the skin's hydro-lipid layer. The active substances called triterpenoids that occur in Argan Oil offer amazing skin protection benefits. These benefits include tissue healing (scars), anti-inflammatory and sun-protective properties. The oil contains 0.8% unsaponifiables (a large group of compounds also known as plant sterols or sterolins). Sterolins improve skin metabolism, reduce inflammation, and promote excellent moisture retention.

Avocado Butter

Avocado Butter, packed full of vitamins like C, E, and K as well as nutrients like magnesium and potassium, can nourish and moisturize the skin. Avocado oils and butters are a  plentiful source of biotin. Biotin, also known as Vitamin H, is one of the B complex vitamins, and can help prevent dry skin. Because of compounds such as plant sterols, omeag-9 as well as other vitamins, Avocado oils have been shown to help with boosting the production of collagen and improving elasticity.

Beeswax

Naturally produced by honey bees, beeswax is made up of more than 284 compounds. Most of these are fatty acids and chain alcohols, which help to improve the natural oil barrier on the skin keeping it soft and hydrated. Also a humectant, beeswax has the incredible ability to attract water molecules from the atmosphere to the skin and trap this moisture in, reducing dryness. Without clogging the pores and allowing the skin to breathe, beeswax can block out irritants and act as a protective barrier against harsh environmental pollutants.

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite is a combination of volcanic ash and montmorillonite originally found in Fort Benton, Wyoming. It is very highly absorbent and powerfully draws oils and toxins from the skin. Bentonite Clay is one of the most powerful healing clays. It is unique in that it carries a strong negative charge which bonds to the positive charge in many toxins. When it comes in contact with a toxin, chemical or heavy metal, the clay will absorb the toxin and release its minerals for the body to use.

Blue Tansy Oil

Not only does Blue Tansy Oil work wonders on burned, irritated, inflamed or damaged skin, Blue Tansy Oil is rich with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It is said to have wonderful cell regenerative properties and has the ability to soothe the redness in skin. The beautiful blue color of Blue Tansy Oil comes from the oil Azulene which is derived from the Blue Tansy flowers as they are steam distilled and subject to heat.

Blue Yarrow

A study by French researchers revealed that the extract of the Yarrow plant actually increases epidermal thickness to smooth out wrinkles and improve pores.

Calendula Oil

Calendula Oil also known as pot marigold or garden marigold, has been used for centuries to heal wounds and skin irritations. Calendula has anti-inflammatory and immunostimulant properties making it useful for treating minor wounds, cuts, scrapes, chapped or chafed  skin, bruises, burns, acne, bee stings, and other minor irritations and infections of the skin. Calendula Oil stimulates the production of collagen at the wound sites to help minimize scarring and assist with stretch marks.

Camellia Seed Oil

Camellia Seed Oil has more naturally-occurring antioxidants than almost any other botanically derived oil. Camellia Seed Oil has an outstanding moisture retaining ability and is one of the most rapidly absorbed plant oils. The unique make-up of this oil allows it to penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, leaving it smooth and supple. This non-drying and non comedogenic oil is very rich in mono-saturated essential fatty acids. It is particularly high in oleic acid that exceeds the level of olive oil. Camellia Seed Oil contains Vitamins, A, B, and E and various minerals, P, Zn, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Mg. Furthermore, this oil possesses a unique active constituent known as Squalene which is also an important component of the skin's natural emollient system. A deficiency of Squalene can result in dry skin and premature aging. It smooths rough and flaky skin, soothes and calms easily irritated skin, and blocks out ultra violet rays. Used regularly, Camellia Seed Oil will help to maintain and restore harmony, protect from age spots and increased pigmentation. Used around the eyes and mouth, it softens wrinkles and tiny maturity lines.

Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Carrot Seed Oil is rich in Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. Vitamins A, C, and E, all are antioxidants that reduce free radicals (from sun damage and environmental toxins) associated with premature aging. Vitamin C also plays a role in stabilizing collagen to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Both Vitamins E and B improve moisture for increased elasticity and smoothness. Carrot Seed Oil stimulates cell growth, moisturizes, tones, and increases the skins elasticity. If skin is dry or oily, like many essential oils, Carrot Seed Oil has the ability to balance both. It gives skin just enough moisture without clogging pores, making it perfect for all skin types.

Castor Oil

Castor oil is detoxifying and helps to break up oils on the face that clog glands and pores. Castor Oil can be very moisturizing and can soften dry skin and rough age spots. It is an excellent skin emollient and helps with skin conditions like dermatitis, which can cause severely rough, dry skin. Castor Oil can also help to cleanse the skin of dead skin cells that are clogging the sebaceous glands. Rubbing Castor Oil on the skin helps to pull out impurities in the pores. This can help to decrease breakouts on the skin that are often caused by these clogged glands.

Chamomile

Chamomile contains powerful anti-oxidants including polyphenols and phytochemicals. When applied to the skin, it may help reduce signs of aging by protecting the skin from free radical damage. It is thought to accelerate cell and tissue renewal, reducing the appearance of fine lines and giving skin a youthful glow. It has the ability to calm and soothe sensitive skin, in addition alleviating redness, and relieving inflammation.

Cherry Kernel Oil

It helps many skin conditions: dry skin, psoriasis, eczema, and wrinkles. It also contains a polyunsaturated fatty acid called eleostearic, a conjugated linolenic acid that prevents UV absorption by forming a barrier on the surface of the skin. Cherry Kernel Oil is said to reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa Butter contains a large proportion of minerals including calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, copper, and iron, all of which are in a highly bioavailable form that render them more effective than commercial vitamin supplements. Cocoa Butter contains a number of different antioxidants like Vitamin E, that can kill off a wide range of different free radicals that destroy skin cells and lead to premature aging.

Coconut Oil

The Coconut Oil used in soaps comes from the pulp of the coconut seed, the white meat inside the coconut that we eat. Coconut Oil in soap is used as a cleanser and is one of the few oils that produces a foam. It moisturizes and leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.

Colloidal Oatmeal

The FDA actually recognizes Colloidal Oatmeal as a "skin protectant”. It is considered an emollient, a substance that softens or soothes the skin, because it packs fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients shown to benefit the skin. It also boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that benefit the skin. Antioxidants fight free radicals, which can damage the skin through oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is connected to aging, which presents as a lack of skin elasticity and moisture. The biggest benefit of colloidal oatmeal is that it helps the skin retain moisture. When applied, colloidal oatmeal reinforces the protective skin barrier.

CoQ10

CoQ10 has at least two important roles in the body. First, it is one of the essential cogs in the biochemical machinery that produces biological energy (ATP) inside the cells. Second, CoQ10 is an antioxidant. It helps neutralize harmful free radicals, which are one of the causes of aging. Under perfect conditions, the body can produce as much CoQ10 as it needs. However, various factors, such as aging, stress and some medications, can lower the levels of CoQ10 in the body. As a result, the ability of cells to withstand stress and regenerate declines. Unfortunately, the levels of CoQ10 in the body almost inevitably decline with age. In fact, CoQ10 is regarded as one of the most accurate biomarkers of aging since its decline correlates so well with the aging process. In most people over thirty, levels of CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum, resulting in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin, and other important skin molecules. Thus, CoQ10 may boost skin repair and regeneration and reduce free radical damage. CoQ10 is a small molecule that can relatively easily penetrate into skin cells.

Emulsifying Wax (Vegetable)

A very good moisturizer for the skin, Emulsifying Wax acts as a binding agent for oil and water, so that they can mix and blend together. The base is extracted from fatty acids and plant oils, creating what is sometimes called vegetable wax.

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Eucalyptus oil, an essential oil distilled from the leaf of an evergreen tree, contains multiple natural ingredients, including 1,8-cineole (aka cineole or eucalyptol), flavonoids, and tannins. Studies show that eucalyptus oil and extract may help strengthen the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It helps trap water in the skin, which can prevent and relieve dryness, flaking and irritation. The fresh, menthol-like aroma will help wake and invigorate the senses.

Frankincense Essential Oil
