Shea Butter is extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree found in the African tropics and is prized for its unique healing and moisurizing properties. Shea Butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A, E, and F as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals beneficial to the skin than those found in cocoa butter and other vegetable butters. Shea Butter is an excellent moisturizer but also has very good healing properties for skin conditions such as blemishes, wrinkles, eczema, and dermatitis. It is derived from the seed of the Shea tree and prepared without chemicals or preservatives. The natural moisturizers present in Shea Butter are the same as those produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Shea Butter is solid at room temperature although it quickly liquefies right around body temperature. This Shea Butter is called unrefined Shea Butter or raw Shea Butter. Since Shea Butter is an all natural product, it can vary widely in quality, appearance and smell depending on where it is produced from and how it is refined or extracted. The low melting point of Shea Butter has its pros and cons. When applied on the skin, it instantly melts, leaving a luxurious layer on the skin. However, this also means that shea butter routinely liquefies during summer. Melted Shea Butter, as long as it does not smell rancid is perfectly safe to use. If refrigerated, it will just set again.

Rosehip Oil (Rosa Affinis Rubiginosa) contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase. This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater elasticity. Rosehip oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin. In particular, it is rich in linoleic and linolenic acids, which are important skin nutrients. The positive action of Rose Hip Oil in helping to regenerate damaged skin tissues is due to its content of Trans-Retinoic Acids in a natural state as part of a complex system of unsaturated essential fatty acids. Therefore, its action is controlled and slowly released by nature, eliminating the risk of overdoses. Scientific evidence has shown the properties of Rose Hip Oil in reducing dermal scars, the elimination of certain hyper pigmented spots and the lessening of wrinkles. Rose Hip Oil is very effective in halting and even reversing the effects produced by the sun on the skin

Octyl Palmitate is the ester of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid, commonly used in cosmetic formulations.

Squalane provides a variety of natural health and beauty benefits to the skin. Squalane is known to soften the wrinkles and small maturity lines around the eyes and mouth.

Cetyl Palmitate has similar properties to whale wax. Palmitic acid (also called hexadecanoic acid) constitutes between 20 and 30 percent of most animal fats and is also an important constituent of most vegetable fats (35 - 45 percent of palm oil). In cosmetics and personal care products, the Palmitates are used in a wide spectrum of products. Cetyl Palmitate is a Cetylated Fatty Acid.

Isopropyl Myristate is a colorless liquid. Isopropyl Myristate is an emollient that softens and smooths skin. It is also used as a thickening agent and a binder, preventing the water and lipid components of a product from separating.

Hyaluronic acid, also commonly called Sodium Hyaluronate. This material is produced by fermentation of (Streptococus Equi) with high purity and stability. Our HA has a wide pH stability range from 5 to 9. Hyaluronic Acid is a straight chain macromolecular mucopolysaccharide composed of repeat disaccharide units of glucoronic acid and N - Acetylglucosamine. Naturally, it is present in the joints, skin, umbilical cord, eye and the extracellular space of human tissue. It has an outstanding ability to retain moisture and has a high viscoelasticity and lubricity. Research has shown that it is critical to normal health function, not only by maintaining healthy, smooth skin, but also by lubrication of the joints, eye health and function, wound healing etc . It has natural anti-oxidant properties. Hyaluronic acid is able to retain more water than any other substance found to date which keeps the skin and other tissues hydrated. This in turn keeps cells from dying and maintains their ability to be able to absorb nutrients more effectively and eliminate toxins.

2-Ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate, also known as Octyl Methoxycinnamate and octinoxate. This compound of the cInnamate group of chemicals absorbs light with a wavelength from 290nm to 320nm, in the UVB range. Although we cannot see ultra violet light, it is part of the sun's spectrum, so we are exposed to it every day. Ultra violet is the component of light that causes keratosis (tanning), erythema (reddening), sunburn, and melanoma. This is because, as the wavelength of UV light is shorter than that of the visible spectrum, it has more energy and therefore can burn our skin. Ultra violet light has been categorized into three main sections. The wavelenth of ultra violet light is shorter than that of the visible spectrum, and UVC is the shortest, and also the most dangerous of the three. UVC's wavelength is from 100nm to 290nm, and lucky for us, the ozone keeps all UVC light off the surface of the Earth. UVB light, responsible for sunburn, has a wavelength from 290nm to 320nm. Scientists have not yet determined the full effects of UVA light on our health, but it is under suspicion as a potential cancer-causing agent. It takes hundreds of thousands of times more UVA light than UVB light to achieve the equivalent skin damage. UVA light has a wavelength from 320nm to 400nm.

Undecylenic acid is an unsaturated carboxylic acid. When Ricinoleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid containing one - OH group , derived from Castor Oil, is pyrolyzed by heating in the absence of air, it breaks down to give Undecylenic acid and n - heptaldehyde . It's anti - fungal properties are useful in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals . Undecylenic acid and its aldehyde are used to formulate perfumes . Undecylenic acid and its zinc salt are used for the treatment and prevention of superficial fungus infections of the skin , primarily tinea pedis as well as relieves itching , burning and irritation.

Kojic Acid is a tyrosinase inhibitor and is used as a skin lightener. It is produced from a fungus and is stable under most conditions. Kojic acid can produce excellent effects in even toning the skin, fighting age spots, pregnancy marks, freckles . In formulations, it does not change or discolor emulsions
