Raw Oils and Fats

  • Raw Shea Butter

    comes from the nut of the Shea Tree. It contains high levels of linoleic acid and oleic acid. These two acids balance each other out, which means shea butter is easily absorbed in your skin and won’t make your skin look oily after application. Shea butter contains triterpenes, these naturally-occurring chemical compounds are thought to deactivate collagen fiber destruction.

    contains high levels of vitamin E (Phenolic antioxidants), Omega-6 fatty acids and linoleic acid. Grapeseed oil has high antioxidant properties, and has shown to contribute to the reduction of damaged cells from free radicals.
