Benefits of Ingredients:
Cocoa Butter Contains vitamins D2, E & K and is thought to soothe skin irritation, smooth dry skin, wrinkles and scars, and help heal rashes from conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. Has anti-inflammatory properties and is a great skin hydrator. Is made up mostly of palmitic, stearic and oleic acid and has less than 3% linoleic acid. Stearic acid increases mitochondrial function and has a strong anti-cortisol and anti-anxiety effect. “Palmitic acid is one of the most protective substances for metabolism due to activation of the enzyme PDH (the primary factor of proper glucose activation)” - Dr. Ray Peat.
Beeswax Protects the skin barrier, locks in hydration (keeps skin feeling softer for longer), has lubricating, softening activities, reduces water loss from skin, and forms a moisturising protective layer on the surface of lips. Also contains very long chain (VLC) saturated fatty acid alcohols: Policosanol & Octacosanol which provide anti-viral and anti-ageing effects. Octacosanol is also anti-fatigue, anti-hypoxia, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, it regulates body’s immune function and energy metabolism, and fights against cellular stress by increasing glutathione level.
Lanolin Extremely hydrating and helps to soften skin. “Lanolin is a very stiff oil, it helps to thin it with a little coconut oil or MCT, besides being a protective sealing agent so your skin doesn’t dehydrate, it tends to hold moisture in the skin just by forming a seal, but at the same time it’s more than 50% of a precursor steroid to cholesterol, to the extent that it can be dissolved (maybe in olive oil or MCT etc.) to the extent that it can dissolve into the skin it’s going to have an anti-ageing effect by supporting the local production of cholesterol” - Dr. Ray Peat [Interview on One Radio Network]
Olive Oil Contains vitamins A, D, E & K and has anti-bacterial properties. It contains antioxidants which help to calm down redness and irritation caused by acne or psoriasis, and can help to prevent or reverse damage from UV radiation. Is mostly made up of oleic acid.
Kokum butter Absorbed into the skin easily due to its emollient properties. It is used to improve moisture content of lips and can heal ulcers and cracks in the lips. Rich in vitamin E & vit C, it has a high antioxidant content and has excellent moisturising and nourishing properties.
Sweet Orange Oil Helps to maintain the health, appearance and texture of skin. Is mainly comprised of limonene. A study in 2012 [Valgimigli et al.] showed that D-Limonene enhances the penetration of vitamins E, A & C into the skin. Vitamins C & A had their flux through the skin enhanced by factors of 3.4 & 5.8 respectively, whereas the penetration of vitamin E was 9-fold enhanced. Plus it adds a lovely orange scent to the body butter.
