benefits
raw cacao butter – revive skin with cacao-spiked face cleanser. Cocoa is so potent with flavonols—the antioxidants and polyphenol and the caffeine stimulate blood circulation topically, when it’s topically stimulated, it creates a redness. But that’s the blood being pulled from the dermal layer which feeds all the cells. And it’s that activation phase of skin care that’s so important and overlooked. It’s activating the skin by pulling blood through to the surface so that it’s nourished and fed, and it really does result in toned, bright, plump skin
diatomaceous earth – is the fossilized remains of a kind of algae, called diatoms. It contains many of the essential minerals your body needs to function, including calcium, sodium, iron and magnesium. However, diatomaceous earth is mostly made of silica, a mineral that is integral to the formation of collagen. Collagen is a building block of skin and is necessary to heal inflammation, wounds and skin lesions. By applying it in paste form and massaging it into the skin, you can get all the skin benefits.
fermented colloidal oatmeal – Because of this natural process, fermented skin-care products generally contain higher, more potent concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants, which help to fight free-radical damage and protect against UV damage. Oats also provide gentle exfoliation and calm chaotic or inflamed skin. Colloidal oatmeal contains several components that could be beneficial for the skin. These include:beta-glucan, which is a substance that can absorb water, phenols, which are a type of antioxidant, saponins, which have soap-like properties and can act as a cleanser, and oils.
cold-pressed castor oil – Castor oil is a potent reservoir of numerous fatty acids and phytochemicals, each contributing to its unique therapeutic properties. Ricinoleic acid can deeply penetrate the skin due to its long carbon chain, moisturizing from the inside out and helping retain moisture by forming a protective barrier on the skin’s surface. This also can help repair a damaged skin barrier.
