Active Ingredients: Macadamia-Nut Oil is an ideal moisturizer because it is easily and quickly absorbed into the skin and does not leave a greasy residue. It is suitable for all skin types and is a good choice for sensitive skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help soothe sunburn & irritation. It does not clog the pores so spot breakouts are reduced. Macadamia also has anti-ageing benefits. The oil contains palmitoleic acid, found in human skin. Ageing decreases skin's natural palmitoleic acid, leading to wrinkles and lines. Macadamia Nut Oil helps replace this loss maintain the skin's youthful appearance. It also acts as an antioxidant, decreasing free-radical damage. Macadamia Nut Oil has a very light, pleasing fragrance. Shea Butter & Cocoa Butter are two of nature's richest moisturizers. Shea butter, made from the nuts of the karite tree, has been called a super-food for skin. It contains essential fatty acids, phytosterols, vitamin E and D, pro-vitamin A and allantoin. It helps strengthen skin, repair damage and soothe inflammation. Cocoa butter, extracted from cacao seeds, (cocoa beans) is easily absorbed, has a low allergen risk, helps ease rashes & irritation. It is very high in anti-oxidants so fights skin-ageing effects. Both Cocoa & Shea Butter ease skin problems such as dry eczema patches. Both contain fatty acids, which improve skin moisture retention and elasticity. Made in Germany.
