Glossary of Ingredients

Almond Oil (sweet)

The best thing about sweet almond oil is that it contains vitamin A and it's the retinol in vitamin A that has the ability to smooth fine lines. Almond oil also contains vitamin E, omega3 fatty acids and zinc. A high antioxidant containing oil which helps with premature aging, almond oil has also been known to reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. We use it in our Wild & Free Balm

Avocado Oil

The oleic acid in avocado oil promotes collagen production - collagen plumps your skin helping reduce appearance of lines and aging. High in sterolins which may reduce the look of age spots. Avocado oil is highly rejuvenating making it an excellent oil for dryness and itching.

Candelilla wax is a great vegan alternative to beeswax. Having protective and softening properties makes this a great wax for skin care balms. It is plant based and comes from a desert shrub native to Mexico and Southern Texas.

Coconut Oil

A very popular oil known for its antifungal, antibacterial and moisturising properties coconut oil has become a staple ingredient in many beauty products.
