We formulated with non-comedogenic oils meaning the balms will not clog your pores. This is important because clogged pores result in the build up of sebum, dirt and other debris. The greater the build up, the increase in possible bacterial infection.
Coconut oil can be comedogenic, a poor choice for a "leave on" cream, lotion or balm moisturiser.
Why is Vitamin E so important?
An essential nutrient with anti-inflammatory properties vitamin E helps support the immune system, cell function, and skin health. It is an antioxidant, making it effective at combating the effects of free radicals produced by the metabolism of food and toxins in the environment.
Products containing vitamin E as an ingredient are easier to apply for overall use on skin. Problem areas that are very dry, such as the cuticles and elbows, benefit from the inclusion of vitamin E in a skincare product.
Protecting your skin from the sun is important. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can be effective at reducing UV damage in the skin. And vitamin E applied helps nourish and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Ethical cruelty-free beauty skincare handmade and small batched for the highest level of care. This is worry-free beauty and wellbeing at its best.
