You may have seen your grandmother applying olive oil to her face or rubbing it into her hands as a moisturizer.  Olive oil has been used in skincare for years and rightfully so.  It brings to the table many vitamins such as A, D, E, and K as well as antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Coconut oil’s high fatty-acid content helps it seal in moisture.  That makes it’s emollient capabilities even better.  Coconut oil has been used for many years in many organic skincare products and for good reason.  It has even been shown to have antibacterial properties.

Castor oil has been an age old remedy for skin and hair issues.  It is known to have anti-aging properties, lessening the appearance of wrinkles.  It’s anti-inflammatory properties help reduce swelling and redness making it excellent to use on faces of those prone to puffy eyes.  Being anti-inflammatory also brings relief from sunburn.  It has high vitamin E, fatty acid, and omega 6 content, promoting overall skin health.

Avocado oil is high in vitamin E, potassium, lecithin, and many other nutrients that will nourish and moisturize your skin.  Avocado oil will even help sooth dry itchy skin associated with eczema and psoriasis.

The fatty acids found in shea butter restore lipids in our skin, rapidly creating moisture and create a barrier between your skin and the outside world protecting it from drying out.  Because shea butter contains linoleic acid and oleic acid which balance each other out, the butter will not leave your skin feeling greasy.  Shea helps boosts collagen and is also anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and contains antioxidants.  To sum it up, WOW!  Shea is wonderful for skin.

Cocoa butter is high in fatty acids.  This attribute lends to its ability to nourish and hydrate skin, also improving elasticity.  It is packed with antioxidants that help fight damage-causing free radicals, giving cocoa butter anti-aging properties as well.
