At our company, we take pride in sourcing ingredients from suppliers who uphold the highest social, ethical, and environmental standards. This means that our products are not only good for you but also for the planet.
Let’s take a deep dive into some of our key ingredients and explore why they’re so special—scientifically speaking, of course!
Shea Butter: The Golden Treasure from Ghana
Country of Origin: Ghana
Color: Ivory
Aroma: Nutty, roasted, smoky
Shea butter, often referred to as "women's gold," is a staple in natural skincare. But why is it so revered? Let’s break it down.
The Science:
Shea butter is packed with vitamins A, E, and F, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. These nutrients work together to nourish and moisturize the skin, making it an excellent choice for anyone dealing with dryness, irritation, or even aging skin.
Our shea butter is 100% pure, organic, and unrefined—meaning it retains all the natural goodness that makes it so beneficial. It’s produced by women’s cooperatives in Ghana, where the shea nuts are hand-harvested from wild trees in remote areas. This method not only ensures the highest quality but also supports sustainable income, self-reliance, and education for the women involved.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
By choosing our shea butter, you’re not just caring for your skin; you’re also supporting ethical practices. The women’s cooperatives in Ghana receive fair wages, and the production process has a minimal carbon footprint. Plus, our shea butter is free from additives, preservatives, colorants, bleach, and other chemicals, ensuring that what you put on your skin is as pure as nature intended.
Coconut Oil: A Tropical Marvel
Botanical Name: Cocos nucifera
Country of Origin: Malaysia
Coconut oil has become a household name in both kitchens and bathrooms, but there’s more to this tropical marvel than meets the eye.
The Science:
Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fatty acids that the body can easily absorb and use for energy. In skincare, MCTs make coconut oil a powerful moisturizer that helps to soften and hydrate the skin. Coconut oil is also known for its antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for preventing skin infections.
Our coconut oil is obtained from copra, the dried meat of the coconut. It’s processed to retain its natural properties, ensuring it remains a versatile ingredient for both culinary use and skincare products. One interesting fact is that coconut oil becomes liquid at 76 degrees Fahrenheit but solidifies when it’s colder—a unique characteristic that adds to its appeal.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
Our coconut oil is sourced from suppliers who adhere to strict environmental and ethical standards. This means no GMOs, no artificial additives, and no harm to animals or the environment during production. It’s a product you can feel good about using on your skin and in your cooking!
Almond Sweet Oil: A Nutty Delight for Your Skin
Almond sweet oil is another powerhouse in our skincare lineup. Derived from pressed almonds, this oil is not only food-grade for culinary use but also a fantastic skin moisturizer.
The Science:
Almond sweet oil is rich in vitamins E, A, and D, as well as oleic and linoleic acids. These nutrients make it an excellent emollient, meaning it helps to lock moisture into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It’s also easily absorbed, so it won’t clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
Like all our products, our almond sweet oil is sourced from ethical suppliers who prioritize sustainable practices. It’s free from harmful additives and is cruelty-free, so you can nourish your skin with peace of mind.
CBD Isolate: The Purest Form of Hemp’s Healing Power
CBD, or cannabidiol, has taken the wellness world by storm, and for good reason. Our CBD isolate, known as Nutra99, is one of the purest hemp-derived isolates on the market, extracted using proprietary hydrocarbon methods.
The Science:
CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors that helps regulate various physiological processes, including mood, sleep, and immune response. By supporting the ECS, CBD can help reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote a sense of calm.
Our CBD isolate is made from raw organic unrefined hemp seed oil and medium-chain triglycerides (from organic coconuts). It’s odorless, tasteless, and incredibly versatile, making it ideal for use in everything from food and beverage additives to cosmetics and vaping products.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
We ensure that our CBD isolate is sourced from hemp grown under strict organic farming practices. This means no pesticides, no GMOs, and no synthetic chemicals—just pure, natural CBD that you can trust.
Peppermint Oil: A Refreshing Burst of Nature
Aroma: Fresh, strong mint
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled from aerial parts
Peppermint oil is one of those essential oils that everyone should have in their wellness toolkit. Its invigorating scent and cooling properties make it a favorite for everything from aromatherapy to skincare.
The Science:
Peppermint oil contains menthol, which gives it that characteristic cooling sensation. Menthol is not just refreshing; it also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, making peppermint oil a popular choice for relieving headaches, muscle pain, and respiratory issues.
Our peppermint oil is 100% pure and steam-distilled, ensuring that you get the full therapeutic benefits of this powerful plant.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
We’re committed to providing the highest quality peppermint oil, which is why we analytically test each batch for identity, purity, and adulteration. This ensures that you’re getting a product that’s not only effective but also free from harmful chemicals and contaminants.
Vitamin E: Nature’s Antioxidant Powerhouse
Vitamin E is a well-known antioxidant that plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from free radical damage. It’s a must-have in any skincare routine, especially for those looking to reduce the signs of aging.
The Science:
Vitamin E helps to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and lead to premature aging. By applying vitamin E oil to your skin, you’re providing it with a shield against environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation.
Our Vitamin E oil is pure, with no artificial colors or preservatives. It thoroughly moisturizes dry skin and helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
We source our Vitamin E from suppliers who prioritize ethical practices, ensuring that no animals are harmed in the production process. Plus, our Vitamin E oil is free from mineral oil and other harmful additives, making it a safe and effective choice for your skin.
Fractionated Coconut MCT Oil: The Ultimate Carrier Oil
Botanical Name: Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides 60/40
Country of Origin: Malaysia
Extraction Method: Heat Processed
Color: Clear with a very pale yellow hue
Fractionated Coconut Oil, also known as MCT oil, is a refined version of regular coconut oil that has been processed to remove certain fatty acids. The result is a highly stable, liquid oil that’s perfect for use in skincare products.
The Science:
MCT oil is composed of medium-chain triglycerides, which are quickly absorbed by the skin, making it an excellent carrier oil for essential oils and other active ingredients. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and penetrates deeply into the skin, delivering nutrients where they’re needed most.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is also highly resistant to oxidation, meaning it won’t go rancid easily. This makes it an ideal choice for products that need a longer shelf life.
Ethical and Environmental Impact:
Our Fractionated Coconut MCT Oil is sourced from Malaysia, where it’s produced using environmentally friendly methods. It’s free from harmful chemicals and additives, ensuring that what you put on your skin is as pure as possible.
