Used for centuries for its skin protectant properties, Shea Butter derives from the nut of the African Karite tree. Shea butter has good skin penetrating properties, so balms with high levels of shea butter release cosmetic actives faster than other bases. Shea Butter also has anti-irritant and soothing properties and improves the appearance of aging skin.
Sweet Almond Oil has excellent penetrating qualities and spreads quickly on the skin. This ingredient is a soothing addition to massage oil, ointments, and balms.
Caprylic/ capric triglyceride (fractionated coconut oil) is a light-textured, non-greasy liquid oil easily absorbed into the skin. It is an excellent carrier oil and base for oil-soluble nutrients such as vitamins.
Beeswax is one of the oldest cosmetic ingredients in civilization used from the time of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.
Beeswax creates a barrier that helps to seal moisture into the skin. Beeswax will not “suffocate” the skin but allows it to breathe while still providing a protective barrier.
Beeswax also helps to thicken and stabilize cosmetic products because it has a relatively high melting point, especially in formulas (such as this one), which includes other liquid oils at room temperature.
