SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter is a plant-based fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree and is rich in vitamin A, vitamin E, and plant antioxidants. It reinforces the skin’s natural protective barrier by reducing moisture loss, protecting against environmental stress and supporting the skin’s natural repair process. An excellent emollient, shea butter improves skin texture, leaving the skin feeling silky and nourished.
JOJOBA OIL

It reduces moisture loss and softens skin, improving skin texture and leaving it feeling smooth and supple.
LANOLIN
Lanolin is a natural waxy substance derived from sheep’s wool. It adheres well to the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and restores suppleness to the skin. It provides a semi-occlusive layer that strengthens the skin barrier, shielding it from cold, wind, and dry air. It is lanolin that contributes to a product's water resistance.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the skin from stress caused by UV exposure, pollution, and free radicals. It supports the skin’s natural defenses and maintains its natural moisture, leaving skin soft, smooth, and radiant.
ROMAN CHAMOMILE ESSENTIAL OIL
