Ingredients
Distilled water has virtually all of its impurities removed through distillation. Distillation involves boiling the water and then condensing the steam into a clean container, leaving nearly all of the solid contaminants behind. Distillation produces very pure water.
Apricot Oil (prunus armeniaca) is rich in the essential oleic and linolenic fatty acids and is known for its ability to soothe the skin without leaving an oily feel. It moisturizes and revitalizes dry or aged skin.
Rooibos (aspalathus linearis) is a plant unique to South Africa and is rich in minerals and anti-oxidants, helping to keep the skin healthy and smooth. Aspalathin's antioxidant activity is comparable to that of Vitamin E.
Argan Oil (Argania spinosa) has almost twice as much vitamin E as olive oil and is rich in anti-oxidants. It is 80% unsaturated, containing eight essential fatty acids. Argan oil also contains rare plant sterols not found in other oils. It helps to prevent loss of moisture and is a most effective addition to any cream.
Lanette wax (cocos nuciferia, cetearyl glucoside, cetearyl alcohol) is a blend of raw vegetable base (coconut, palm and glucose) and chemical (ceterayl glucosie and cetearyl alcohol) that blends well in a mixture of oil and water, herbal infusions and florals. Most lanettes contain sodium laural sulphate, but ours DOES NOT. It works beautifully as a base for cosmetic creams. All creams need some sort of wax base.
Jojoba oil (simmondsia chinensis) Excellent moisturizing and emulsifying properties. Jojoba is rich in Vitamin E, contains proteins and minerals.
Cocoa butter (theobroma cacoa) is a wax obtained from the roasted cocoa bean (Theobroma). Its light creamy consistency has emollient qualities and absorbs quickly into the skin.
Shea Butter (butyrosperum parkii) is from the wild shea trees of Africa. It is known for its cosmetic properties as a moisturizer and emollient. It can lessen skin irritating dryness due to acne, eczema and psoriasis and has a skin softening effect, making it most desirable in a cream or lotion.
Beeswax (unrefined, natural) is a rich source of carotene. Beeswax is one of nature’s most wonderful ingredients to use as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and humectant (retains moisture). It has wonderfully emollient, soothing and softening properties and helps the skin retain moisture.
Neem Oil (azadirachta indica) is an excellent moisturizer rich in emollients, fatty acids and vitamin E, It is soothing to dry, cracked, or otherwise stressed skin. Neem oil can restore the skin’s natural elasticity by toning and firming the skin.

Spearmint (mentha viridis) is good for the skin, and has a tingling, cooling feeling when applied to the skin.
Eucalyptus oil (eucalyptus globulus) has a clear, sharp, fresh, distinctive smell. It has a cooling and freshening sensation when applied to the skin.
Lavender (lavendula augustofolia) has a sweet, crisp scent. Lavender has a long history of cosmetic use. The name comes from the Latin ‘lavare’ which means ‘to wash’. It has a relaxing and calming effect.
Clove (eugenia caryophyllus) Clove oil is known for antibacterial and antimicrobial cleaning properties and is therefore a helpful addition to a foot cream.
Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) is considered an anti-oxidant superstar nutrient helping to protect the skin against the elements, prevent damage caused by dryness, adding a youthful appearance to the skin.
Tea Tree (melaleuca alternifolia) provides a protective coating against cold, wind and sun damage. Excellent soother for dryness.

White grapefruit oil (citrus grandis) has a helpful effect on congested oily skin and acne prone skin; it tones the skin and tissues, helping the cream to have better hydrating and firming properties.
Lemonseed Extract (citrus medica limonum) is a bio-citrus extract used as our natural preservative controlling bacteria and fungi.
Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol). This full spectrum tocopheral is a natural preservative that helps sustain shelf life of products. It plays a crucial role in protecting skin cells and membranes from environmental damage.
