Organic Sunflower Oil

Sunflower oil is an excellent oil for moisturizing the skin as it is known to be non-comedogenic and easily absorbed. High in essential fatty acids, sunflower oil helps maintain healthy skin. It is also full of minerals and vitamins, such as A, D and E. We use a high oleic certified organic sunflower oil that is suitable for all skin types.

Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil

We use certified organic extra virgin olive oil for all our balms and butters. One of the biggest reasons we chose olive oil is because it goes through little processing. The oil is physically extracted from the fruit and then filtered, no heat or chemical treatment required. Olive oil is high in polyphenols (antioxidants) and vitamin E, helping to give it anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains squalene, which aids in regulating the special sebum coating on our skin.
