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.

Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E and vitamin A.  This makes it a great choice for moisturizing irritated skin.  The antioxidants in this oil help fight acne-causing bacteria.  The oleic acid in sunflower oil prevents hair breakage.

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.

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.

Jojoba oil will moisturize and refresh your skin, leaving you glowing.  It’s been known to relieve sunburns and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Jojoba oil also comes toting antibacterial properties.

Hibiscus flowers contain amino acids that produce the protein, keratin, making your hair stronger and healthier.  Studies have shown that not only does hibiscus help prevent hair loss, but can also promote hair growth.  Hibiscus contains antioxidants and vitamins that are necessary for the manufacture of melanin.  This means these lovely flowers can also help delay the graying of hair.  These antioxidants are also key in helping the skin recover from sun damage.  The slight acidity of hibiscus flowers provides a gentle exfoliating element that can help smooth out your complexion and reduce age spots.
