This combination creates an intensely nourishing and deeply hydrating formula. It pairs heavy-hitting, plant-based emollients and butters to lock in moisture with a powerful humectant to draw water into the skin.
A closer look at these ingredients reveals the benefits they offer:
- Rhus Verniciflua Peel Wax: A 100% plant-derived vegan wax (often called berry wax) extracted from fruit peels. It acts as an emollient to soften skin, improve formulation slip, and acts as a sustainable, non-comedogenic alternative to beeswax.
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter: A rich African tree nut butter packed with fatty acids and vitamins A and E. It deeply moisturizes, soothes irritation, and reinforces the skin’s natural lipid barrier.
- Mangifera Indica Seed Butter: Extracted from mango kernels, this butter is rich in oleic acid and polyphenols. It supports skin elasticity, provides intense moisture without a heavy or greasy residue, and helps calm reactive skin.
- Tocopherol: Pure Vitamin E. This powerhouse, fat-soluble antioxidant neutralizes free radicals and helps protect the skin from premature aging caused by UV rays and pollution. It also fortifies the skin barrier.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of hyaluronic acid, which has a smaller molecular size allowing it to easily absorb into the skin. As a humectant, it attracts and binds moisture, plumping the skin and smoothing fine lines.
