What's in it and why:

Plant Oils - naturally packed with vitamins and omega oils to nourish, condition, rejuvenate and protect the skin.
Walnut oil - sourced locally from Granary Oils where walnuts are grown and cold pressed on the farm just a few miles away from where the product is made. Walnut oil is rich in omega 6 and 9 which promote water retention in the skin making it softer, supple and more youthful. Also very nourishing, the perfect oil for maturing skin.
Macadamia nut oil  - rich in palmitoleic acid which occurs naturally in the skin (but reduces with age), the function of which is to maintain moisture levels. Macadamia oil is therefore an excellent moisturiser and nourishes older, drier skin.
Pumpkin seed oil - rich in omega 6 and 9 and also magnesium. Tones and lifts the skin making it firmer.  
Red Raspberry seed oil - naturally high in vitamins. Helps skin retain moisture, firms  and brings radiance to skin.
Pure Essential Oils – Frankincense, Geranium and Patchouli. Chosen to soothe, tone and balance maturing skin.

Plant Extracts and Actives - give the skin that extra boost! 
Pseudo-collagen - called this because it mimics the action of collagen in the skin. It's from a non-animal source (hence pseudo), being extracted from yeast cells and is very effective as a collagen replacement. It helps the skin retain moisture so giving it a more supple and 'plump' apprearance.  
Acmella flower extract - has remarkable ability to visibly firm and smooth the skin, so giving it a lifted appearance. It has been hailed by some as 'botox in a bottle!' The extract is 100% natural and extracted from the plant buds which are harvested by hand so the plant is preserved. It is grown in South Africa by a co-operative of farmers in a bid to develop the local African economy.
Hyaluronic acid - commonly known as the ‘fountain of youth’. It binds water so hydrates the skin giving it fullness and volume, It is key in many products intended to make skin look more youthful and fresh. The hyaluronic acid in this cream is of botanical origin, made by a yeast, glucose and soy bio-fermentation process. It is Ecocert approved for use in natural and organic cosmetics.

Vitamins
Vitamin E
- an antioxidant that is soothing and softening. Promotes healthy skin growth and keeps fine lines at bay. It is natural and extracted from non GM crops, mainly sunflower.
Vitamin A - vital in products that promote healthy skin growth. It improves texture and radiance and diminishes the look of fine lines. It doesn't occur 100% naturally but is derived from plant sources, usually palm oil. I am mindful to only use Vitamin A derived from sustainable palm oil according to RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification.

Misc
Cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate - emulsifier to hold the oils and water together in a cream. It is derived from olive oil and is silky on the skin and hydrating. It is Ecocert certified for use in natural and organic cosmetics.
Preservative - Has to be included, otherwise the product would go mouldy in days. The one used in this cream is Ecocert certified for use in natural and organic cosmetics.

Ecocert is an international organic certification body for sustainable and ecological development. See www.ecocert.com for more information.

RSPO is the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
They stress that sustainable production is the way forward, rather than boycotting palm oil altogether. Some very interesting reading and education.  See www.rspo.org for more information or follow on twitter.
