Shea Butter:
Shea butter has been used In Africa for many centuries. It is produced from an edible nut of a fruit from The Shea Tree or The Karite. This all-natural product has been around for centuries. In fact, it is believed that some of the early users of shea butter were such noted women as Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba. About 200 years ago, Europeans rediscovered shea butter.

Shea Butter nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy. They are particularly helpful for sun damaged skin. They help prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin and helps soften dry or damaged hair. Shea Butter is high in unsaponifiables (a type of fat). Shea Butter has between 7-12% unsaponifiables. For comparison, avocado oil, a well known skin conditioner, has between 2-6%.

Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil is the best natural source of essential fatty acids, which will give the skin a natural glow. It also prevents the formation of free radicals and can keep the skin from forming unsightly liver spots.

It helps to keep connective tissues strong, which helps to prevent sagging of the skin. Additionally, it helps to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother.

Jojoba Oil:
Jojoba is a perennial woody shrub grown primarily in the desert regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. Native Americans have long used jojoba oil to help heal sores and wounds.

Jojoba oil is actually composed of liquid wax esters rather than oil. The body's natural sebum also contains wax esters, which act as a sort of natural moisturizer and environmental barrier for the skin. However, wax ester production steadily decreases with age, causing the skin to appear dull and emphasizing wrinkles; a reduced ester content in the skin can also lead to the development of conditions such as psoriasis, dandruff and rosacea.

Jojoba oil contains many important nutrients, such as vitamin E, B complex vitamins, and the minerals silicon, chromium, copper, and zinc. It also contains a lot of Iodine, which may be where jojoba gets its ability to fight against bacterial and fungal infection.

Vegetable Glycerin oil:
Derived from vegetable oils. Glycerin is popular in beauty products because it is a humectant, which means it absorbs water and helps seal in moisture.

Sandalwood Oil:
