Shea Butter (Scientific Name: Butyrospermum Parkii)

Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, shea butter is a super-moisturizer that helps lock in moisture while soothing irritated skin. It’s known for its ability to:

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Improve elasticity

  • Improves the appearance of small abrasions

Shea butter’s deeply moisturizing properties make it a go-to for tackling dry, cracked skin, while its anti-inflammatory benefits help calm irritated and sensitive areas. *Learn more about the benefits of shea butter here.

Coconut Oil

(Scientific Name: Cocos Nucifera)

Coconut oil is prized for its antimicrobial properties and deep-penetrating hydration. It not only softens the skin but also helps reduce bacteria on the surface, making it ideal for problem areas that are sore, irritated, or prone to breakouts. Key benefits include:

  • Soothing irritated skin

  • Promoting skin repair

  • Preventing bacteria growth

Its light, non-greasy texture ensures the skin stays moisturized without feeling oily. *Learn more from the earliest research about coconut oil here.

Jojoba Oil

(Scientific Name: Simmondsia Chinensis)

Jojoba oil is incredibly similar to the oils naturally produced by your skin (sebum), making it a perfect match for all skin types. It balances sebum production while providing long-lasting moisture without clogging pores. This oil is particularly beneficial for:

  • Dry skin: Locks in moisture.

  • Oily skin: Regulates oil production.

  • Sensitive skin: Soothes irritation and reduces redness. Read more on some of the extensive research of jojoba oil here.

We pride ourselves on using these natural, high-performing ingredients as base ingredients in almost every jar of our shea body butter, sugar scrubs, and pomades. Nourish your skin, naturally!

Now that we’ve listed a few soothing and beneficial properties and backed it up with research, don’t go slathering your skin, scars, and wounds with these magical butters and oils saying we told you they heal everything. ALWAYS check with a health and medical professional before using any product for topical external benefits. Never apply oils and butter to broken skin or open wounds without the guidance of a health professional. There…now we can say, we told you so. ♥ Updated on 5/20/2023
