First of all, a HUGE shout-out to all those who have already purchased any product here! I hope you are enjoying this addition to your Me Time.
Now is as good a time as any to let you in on what these products are made of. Some plant-based butters and oils have been blended together to create light-weight, but highly moisturising body products.
Body Balm
Shea butter, olive oil and beeswax are whipped together to create a rich, but quick absorbing body balm, which is then blended with a light fragrance. Beeswax creates a firmer consistency for the butter, as shea butter easily melts at high temperatures.
Body Oil
Sunflower seed oil is blended with Vitamin E oil and a light fragrance. Light and quick absorption, making it ideal for everyday use.
It’s your ideal travel buddy, works well as a hand moisturizer and great for layering perfumes.
Beard Oil
Lightly fragranced beard oil blend of some of the best carrier oils. Non-greasy. Quick absorption. Perfect for conditioning and hydration.
Here is a small breakdown of the benefits from the different ingredients that I chose to work with.
Shea Butter
- Highly moisturizing with plenty of fatty acids, making it suitable for most skin types
- Anti-inflammatory properties; minimizing irritation caused by dry weather, and conditions like eczema
- Anti-oxidant: protects the skin from free radicals that lead to dull-looking skin and premature aging
- Anti-fungal: kills spores of fungi that cause ring worm and athlete’s foot
- Boost collagen production; minimize appearance of fine lines
- Soothe conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis
- Soothe sun burns and insect bites
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Rich in vitamins A, E, D and K.
- Anti-oxidant properties that help reverse damage from UV radiation
- Great moisturizer for hydrating the skin
Sunflower Seed Oil
- Great moisturizer for hydrating the skin
- Anti-oxidant properties that help reverse damage from UV radiation
- Anti-oxidant: protects the skin from free radicals that lead to dull-looking skin and premature aging
- Ideal for dry skin; Regular use helps remove dead cells and impurities
- Anti-inflammatory properties: soothe and heal skin
- Reduce hair breakage
- Anti-inflammatory properties may help to calm dandruff and relieve an itchy scalp
Blackseed Oil
- Locks in moisture to maintain hydration and healthy looking beard/hair
- Helps to soothe itching and reduce flakiness
- Antibacterial, anti-fungal anti-inflammatory properties which protect the hair and scalp while also locking in moisture in the hair shaft
Jojoba Oil
Enhances conditioning your hair, leaving it with better strength, shine, and manageability.
Castor Oil
Nourishing and strengthening of hair/beard strands
Beeswax
This is a naturally occurring wax produced by honey bees. I used beeswax to firm up the body balm, so the shea butter does not easily melt. Added benefit: it’s a humectant (attracts water), which promotes skin hydration.
Fragrance Blend
As a lover of good scents, I chose to incorporate some light oil fragrances to both the body balm and body oil. The scents are divine! I hope you love them as much as I do.
