Sea Buckthorn Seed - Virgin CO2 Extracted Naturally Grown - Known to have antiaging and antiwrinkle properties. It is a rare source of up to 34% linoleic and 32% alpha linolenic acids in an almost perfect 1:1 ratio. It also contains 12 additional fatty acids including docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA). In addition to being an excellent source of natural Vitamin E, Seabuckthorn Seed Oil contains carotenoids and trace minerals. Current research shows that not only does it enhance immune activity and disease resistance, but it also destroys harmful free radicals found in our bodies. Unrefined Shea Butter Virgin Fair Trade Wild Grown Grade A- (Butyrospermum parkii) Our Fair Trade Shea Butter is pure Togo Unrefined Shea from the African Karite Tree. The Shea trees grow wild in their natural environment and are not grown in massive plantations; therefore they do not need synthetic fertilizers and pesticides  We don't use the refined Shea Butter as the process strips the Shea of its many healing qualities. It has been used by African healers for centuries as the ideal treatment for dry, aging skin.  Fair trade means paying a fair price or wage in the local context, providing equal employment opportunities, engaging in environmental sustainable practices, providing healthy and safe working conditions, being open to public accountability, and reducing the number of middlemen between producers and consumers. Fair trade is environmentally, economically and culturally sustainable and gives local communities the opportunity to self empower. For this reason, we only purchase Fair Trade Unrefined Shea Butter in all of our products. Excellent when used on the face in our Evening Rayne Whipped Shea Butter.  We use this butter in all of our soaps except where noted. Shea Oil - (Butyrospermum parkii) This oil is fractionated Shea Butter. It is liquid at room temperature. We use this in our lotions and creams as well as with our Evening Rayne Whipped Shea Butter. It is a very lubricating oil and can also be used as a massage oil. Squalane Oil - (Squalane) It is naturally derived from the Olive.  The oil is very fine that is absorbed into the skin quickly leaving no oily film residue while providing skin lubrication.  It has been known to help prevent formation of age spots, has antibacterial properties, boosts cell regeneration and oxygenation, helps heal chapped and cracked skin, helps prevent UV damage to skin and helps skin to retain moisture.  It also helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and also helps with the conditions of eczema and psoriasis.  It is also very beneficial to the hair shafts in leaving them soft and silky. Organic Tussah Noir Silk - We use Tussah Noir silk fibers in all of our soaps, also known as "Peace Silk" or "Vegan Silk" to lend a silky feel to our already wonderful, luxurious soaps. What's special about Tussah Noir silk is that these are considered vegetarian or organic silk in that no silkworms are killed in the process. The coccoons are collected after the moths have grown and peacefully left their cocoons. These are then collected in the wild and are not farm raised.
