What's in it and why

Plant oils/butters - packed with omega 3 oils and vitamins and chosen to condition, nourish and provide extra protection against harsh environments.
Shea butter - a rich, nourishing butter that supports the growth of healthy skin cells. It is soothing and has excellent moisture-retaining properties, making the skin refreshed and very soft and supple. It is produced sustainably by a women's cooperative in Ghana, so supporting local families and economy.
Sunflower oil - Rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid required for healthy skin. Nourishes and softens skin, is easily absorbed, makes the cream 'light' and enhances absorption of other ingredients.
Jojoba - Keeps skin soft and hydrated by preventing trans dermal water loss. Protects and acts a barrier to harsh conditions.
Rice bran oil - Rich in omega 6 and 9 and tocopherols, it is an excellent moisturiser. Soothes, conditions and protects damaged skin.

Plant extracts - for added intensity.
Amaranth seed extract - ideal for dry and problem skin as it deeply nourishes so promotes smoother, softer skin. 
Pure essential oils - Chosen for their soothing and antiseptic skin care properties. Lavender and Tea Tree give this cream a 'clean', fresh aroma. Or for a subtle citrusy aroma choose Lemon and Myrrh.

Misc
Emulsifiers and stabilisers - Needed to 'hold' oil and water together as a cream and keep it stable. Have skin moisturising properties and improve product feel on the skin. All are derived from plants, either coconut or rapeseed.

Preservative - Has to be included, otherwise the product would go mouldy in days. The one used in this product is suitable for skin cream, is palm-free, vegan and biodegradable.
