RAW INGREDIENTS

Below are the ingredients found in our products:
BUTTERS
Cacao - also known as cocoa butter: you can tell its related to chocolate by the smell (see, chocolate IS healthy!). Cacao is rich in essential fatty acids and contains natural antioxidants.
Shae – extracted from boiled and mashed nuts from the shae tree. Its popularity is largely due to its super moisturising effects and its natural sunscreen properties. Has a yellowy brown colour if unrefined. Contains vitamins A & E.
OILS
Avocado – used to moisturise and condition skin. Contains vitamins A, C & E.
Castor – a ‘super oil’ with both antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
Coconut – prized for its ability to moisturise the skin and hair it has a lovely mild, nutty aroma. Solid at room temperature but has a melting point of 23-26C (hence the tip to keep your products cool). Fractionated coconut oil is virgin coconut oil that has been distilled, meaning it stays liquid at cooler temperatures.
Evening Primrose Oil – soothes and moistures the skin and scalp while enhancing elasticity. Traditionally used as a wound healer.
Jojoba – technically a wax, this balancing oil closely resembles our natural skin sebum so naturally its a go-to for moisturising skin and hair.
Olive – a rich, heavy oil with a high aroma. A great all-round oil that helps your skin feel ‘youthfully’ smooth.
Sweet Almond – known for its nourishing and calming effects on the skin, it is absorbed without leaving a residue. A power packed oil it contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, D & E as well as magnesium and calcium.
Vitamin E – has great antioxidant powers which make it an effective skin conditioner and protector.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Aloe Vera Gel – Aloe is a succulent plant whose leaves retain a high degree of water. In skin care it is used as a soothing and calming active with anti-inflammatory powers.
Coco Caprylate/Caprate – a vegetable ingredient obtained from coconut, it has the ability to penetrate deep and help skin repair itself while providing incredible softness.
Cocoa Powder – I’m not kidding, this is the same cocoa powder you add to quality chocolate cake recipes!
Beeswax – the Flower Industries’ bees are very proud (and protective!) of their wax and kindly work tirelessly day and night making it just for you. Beeswax is used to thicken creams, create emulsions and give consistency. Because the Flower Industries’ beeswax is literally collected straight from the hive it is unprocessed and so, is very yellow in colour and has a strong waxy aroma.
Kaolin – a type of clay which has an astringent effect. Mostly used to help spread pigment across the skin.
Zinc Oxide – a naturally occurring mineral which is used for its antibacterial and skin healing qualities but most commonly known as a sunscreen.
