Murumuru butter has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is excellent for dry hair, lip balms, and aging, irritated, and blemish-prone skin. Murumuru butter stands out from other plant oils due to its unique fatty acid profile. Its silky texture absorbs easily and spreads effortlessly.

INCI: Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter

Peppermint oil

Refreshing peppermint essential oil revitalizes and rejuvenates dull skin while helping to repair chapped lips. Menthol, derived from peppermint, has a soothing, cooling, and moisturizing effect. In skincare products, peppermint oil is used to treat sunburned, itchy, or inflamed skin. This oil is known for its antiseptic properties and helps prevent acne while cleansing pores.

INCI: Mentha Piperita Oil

Phytosteryl Macadamiate

Phytosteryl Macadamiate is derived from macadamia and non-GMO soybean oil. Its high phytosterol content (around 45%) and rich palmitoleic acid content make it an excellent moisture-binding and locking agent. This provides effective care for dry, sensitive, and mature skin. Phytosterols are plant-derived compounds that help replenish the skin's own cholesterol esters, strengthening the skin's barrier, reducing dryness, and boosting collagen production.

INCI: Phytosteryl Macadamiate

Buriti oil

Luxurious buriti oil is rich in nutrient-dense unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoids. It has rejuvenating, skin-softening, and moisturizing properties. As a natural antioxidant, and rich in vitamins A and E, buriti oil is perfect for dry, sun-damaged, or eczema-prone skin. One of the most remarkable properties of buriti is its protective ability, as buriti is the richest natural source of beta-carotene in the world! This makes the oil effective at protecting against free radicals and shielding the skin from environmental stressors such as pollutants and UV radiation.

INCI: Mauritia Flexuosa Fruit Oil

Kukui nut oil

As a nut oil, kukui nut oil is exceptionally lightweight and absorbs well into the skin while still providing deep hydration. Its secret lies in its skin-friendly fatty acids and high levels of vitamins A and E. It is rich in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids, with only a small amount of greasy oleic acid. The skin does not feel oily but instead soft and silky. Thanks to the balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and its natural antimicrobial properties, it is suitable for all skin types and can also help with eczema and acne.

INCI: Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil

Shea butter

Shea butter contains a high amount of triterpene alcohols, which promote skin elasticity and help prevent the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. This makes it an ideal ingredient for dry, damaged, and aging skin. Shea butter also contains several active antioxidants, such as vitamins A, E, and F, and forms a protective layer that locks moisture into the skin. The collection of shea nuts has traditionally been the work of women, and the production of shea butter serves as an important livelihood for local women. The nuts we use grow wild, and their collection does not harm the trees, making the production process ecologically sustainable.

INCI: Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Macadamia nut oil

Macadamia oil is rich in vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids, lecithin, and squalene. However, the true advantage of the oil lies in its high content of unique, plant-based palmitoleic acid (omega-7 fatty acid), which is naturally present in the skin but diminishes with age. The fatty acid composition, similar to that of the skin's natural sebum, makes the oil very skin-friendly, helping to prevent the drying of the skin's outer layers, restore elasticity, and leave the skin feeling soft and velvety. Macadamia oil rejuvenates, nourishes, and soothes the skin, making it perfect for sensitive, dry, and mature skin, as well as for treating stretch marks.

INCI: Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia/Tetraphylla Seed Oil

Passion fruit oil

Passion fruit oil is an excellent, lightweight oil that softens and hydrates the skin, absorbing directly into it. It is particularly rich in linoleic acid, which helps restore the skin's lipid layer and provides anti-inflammatory effects. For this reason, it is especially beneficial for dry, irritated, and inflamed skin. It also helps with acne and blackhead-prone skin. Passion fruit oil is packed with nutrients that are beneficial for the skin, including vitamin A, essential fatty acids, various trace minerals, and carotenoids. The oil helps prevent premature skin aging and promotes skin cell renewal.

INCI: Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil

Jojoba oil

The oil extracted from jojoba seeds is highly absorbent and effectively locks moisture into the skin while softening and nourishing it. The seed oil forms a light lipid layer on the skin without clogging pores. Jojoba oil breaks down slowly in the skin, providing long-lasting protection against dryness. Its composition is similar to the skin's natural sebum, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This versatile oil can be used on the face, body, scalp, and hair. Jojoba oil contains vitamin E and beneficial minerals such as copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, and chromium.

INCI: Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil

Kokum butter

Kokum butter is a light, non-greasy oil extracted from the seeds of the kokum tree. It is one of the most stable, hardest, and nutrient-dense plant-based butters, offering excellent skin-softening properties. It helps prevent skin dryness and the formation of fine lines, reduces skin cell degeneration, and restores elasticity. Kokum butter's healing and anti-inflammatory properties make it an excellent option for sensitive skin.

INCI: Garcinia Indica Seed Butter

Vernicia wax

Vernicia wax is derived from the fruit's outer skin of the Vernicia tree. The fruit is boiled, and the raw wax is isolated and filtered. The soft wax nourishes the skin and improves its oil balance. It prevents moisture loss by forming a protective, silky, and soft layer on the skin's surface. This allows other moisturizing ingredients to work effectively.

INCI: Rhus Verniciflua Peel Cera

Meadowfoam seed oil

This oil, suitable for sensitive skin, is derived from the seeds of the evening primrose and can be used in a variety of ways for the face, body, and hair. Evening primrose oil is rich in vitamin E and makes the skin silky and smooth without making it greasy. Like jojoba oil, it hydrates well and is excellently absorbed into the skin. A distinctive feature of evening primrose oil is the quality of its fatty acids, most of which are long-chain, making it ideal for cracked or dry skin.

INCI: Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil

Candelilla wax

Candelilla wax is a yellow-brown, solid plant-based wax that serves as a vegan alternative to beeswax. It leaves the skin feeling soft, non-greasy, and non-tacky. It is used as a plant-derived thickener in many skincare products, providing a protective layer on the skin and adding shine to lip products.

INCI: Euphorbia Cerifera Cera

Olein/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides

Oleic/linoleic/linolenic polyglycerides are a 100% natural polyglyceride blend made from vegetable oils, following the principles of green chemistry. This blend serves as an excellent alternative to animal-derived lanolin due to its water-binding, skin-conditioning, and softening properties. The polyglyceride blend supports the skin's protective hydrolipidic barrier, maintains long-lasting hydration, and imparts a beautiful shine to lip balms.

INCI: Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic polyglycerides

Stearic acid

Plant-based stearic acid is a natural fatty acid derived from vegetable oils such as rapeseed, cottonseed, palm, and others. It provides structure to products and forms a thin layer on the skin, offering protection from environmental factors like cold, wind, and sun.

INCI: Stearic Acid

Castor beads

Castor beads are small, round wax beads made from the oil extracted from the seed-like beans of the castor plant. In our exfoliating products, the beads gently cleanse dead skin cells and impurities, leaving the skin smoother and more even. Castor beads are biodegradable, 100% renewable, and a natural alternative to common, inexpensive, and environmentally harmful microplastic beads used in cosmetics. Unlike pumice, quartz sands, or crushed nut shells, castor beads do not have sharp edges that could damage the skin.

INCI: Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Squalane

Squalane is a lipid derived from olive oil. This gentle oil does not irritate the skin, supports the function of the skin's protective barrier, and softens the skin. Squalane is a close relative of squalene, which naturally occurs in human skin. Squalene is an essential part of the skin's hydrolipidic layer, but its production begins to decline after the age of 25. As a skin-identical substance, squalane is easily absorbed, promotes the absorption of other ingredients into the skin, and leaves the skin with a lovely, velvety feel.

INCI: Squalane

MCT-oil (from coconut)

Perhaps sounding a bit unusual, MCT oil is derived from coconut fruit oil. This "concentrated coconut oil" consists solely of medium-chain fatty acid chains. In skincare products, it promotes absorption, smooth application, softens, and protects the skin from dryness. MCT oil can also be used to boost the energy content of coffee or tea.

INCI: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Sucrose laurate

Sucrose laurate is a gentle skin-conditioning emulsifier and an excellent natural ingredient binder, made from plant-based sugar and coconut oil fatty acid esters. This combination helps remove impurities from the skin without damaging the hydrolipidic barrier or clogging the skin. The emulsifier binds the ingredients of cleansing oils together and alters the oil's texture, making its use more pleasant and easy. The lauric acids in sucrose laurate calm the skin and prevent inflammation due to its antimicrobial properties, leaving the skin feeling extremely soft and well-cared-for.

INCI: Sucrose Laurate

Sunflower seed oil, vitamin-E

Sunflower seed oil is a natural source of vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. It also improves microcirculation and the firmness of connective tissue, enhancing the skin's ability to retain moisture. As an ingredient, vitamin E prevents the oils in products from becoming rancid, which is why products like balms do not require additional synthetic preservatives.

INCI: Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Tocopherol

Glycerine

Glycerin is a sugar alcohol and one of the oldest, most common, and versatile humectants used in skincare. It is a strong moisture-binding agent that not only protects the skin but also helps renew its natural protective functions, effectively improving skin elasticity. Its origin can be either plant-based or animal-derived, depending on the oil or fat from which it is extracted. The glycerin we use is 100% natural and plant-based.

INCI: Glycerin

Dicaprylyl carbonate

Dicaprylyl carbonate is a plant-based skincare supporting ingredient. It enhances the effect of other oils and creams, leaving the skin smooth and soft without an oily feel. Other carefully selected ingredients spread and absorb more effectively thanks to its presence. Dicaprylyl carbonate is derived from sources such as coconut, similar to MCT oil, but through a different extraction method.

INCI: Dicaprylyl Carbonate

Fragrance

Fragrance gives products a pleasant scent. We use only 100% natural, gentle fragrance ingredients derived from flowers, fruits, and other plant materials. Aromatic substances are obtained by combining essential oils, extracts, absolutes, and isolated components from them.

INCI: Aroma

Sucrose stearate

Sucrose stearate is a natural supporting ingredient and emulsifier similar to sucrose laurate, also made from plant sugar and coconut oil fatty acid ester. It acts as a thickener in cleansing oils and gently enhances the effects of other ingredients in skincare.
