KEY SKIN-FOOD INGREDIENTS:

​

MARULA OIL is rich in antioxidants (including Vitamin C + E), essential fatty acids, and amino acids like oleic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, and stearic acid. These fatty acids strengthen the skin barrier and absorb easily into the skin. It is also an occlusive ingredient, meaning that it creates a thin layer on top of the skin that locks in moisture.

o    Great source of Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient for skin, helping to protect from environmental stressors, firm and tighten, as well as brighten skin.
o    Source of vitamin E tocopherols: These fat-soluble compounds protect and provide a radiant look to the skin.
o    Stable: Because of its unique makeup, marula is a stable oil, and easily resists oxidation, which means it will last on your shelf. They say it’s 10 times more stable than olive oil.

The oil guards against free radicals produced by UV ray exposure and pollution, which can cause spots and shifts in the texture of your skin. Continued use can repair sun damaged skin and strengthen its surface.
Hailing from sub-Saharan Africa, marula oil is extracted from the nuts, seeds, or fruit of marula trees, with a slightly nutty scent and a light-yellow hue.  It's widely used as an ingredient in skin care products, and can be beneficial for oily, acne-prone, dry, and aging skin as it helps regulate collagen and elastin, two of the most important proteins the body produces when it comes to preventing and reducing the signs of aging. The fatty acids in marula oil also calm skin inflammation and redness.
 

SEA BUCKTHORN OIL  (Hippophaes rhamnoides), also called a Siberian pineapple, is a flowering shrub/tree that produces berries which can be cold pressed into pulp or an oil. It has been found that sea buckthorn plant berries carry 10 times more vitamin C than an orange and are the third-highest source of vitamin E among plants.

Rich in antioxidants: Sea buckthorn has 10 times more vitamin C than an orange and is known to have a gamut of various other antioxidants like vitamin A, alpha and beta-carotenoids, vitamins B1, B2, and B6, vitamin E, Omega 3, 6, 9 and rarest Omega 7 and about 190 bioactive compounds and so much more. Moisturizes the skin while regulating oil as it contains linoleic acid, which is found naturally in the sebum, and therefore it may assist in regulating moisture levels and help with hydration.
