Baobab Extract (Powder)

OVERVIEW

Baobab powder has a mild tangy flavor and is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is particularly rich in vitamin C,  B vitamins, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and fiber. The Baobab seeds are pressed and produce a rich golden oil used in skincare. Baobab oil provides a balance of omega 3,6 and 9 fatty acids that have benefits from head to toe, it is a good all over moisturizer especially great on damaged hair and the driest skin.

WHAT IS IT?

Baobab powder comes from the fruit of the baobab tree, which has been revered for centuries as “the Tree of Life”. Baobab fruit is a pod that contains incredibly nutrient-dense powder and seeds. Baobab powder is made from the harvested fruit that is dried and ground.

BENEFITS

PROMOTES A HEALTHY SKIN BARRIER

Baobab powder does contain skin-friendly fatty acids such as omega 3, 6, 9, and a handful of vitamins. Due to its omega content, it's considered a great ingredient for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.

CONTAINS HIGH AMOUNTS OF ANTIOXIDANTS

Antioxidants are the skin's vitamins that help repair damage from the sun and the environment. Studies have shown that Baobab extract contains high levels of

antioxidants from high amounts of Vitamin C (10 times more than an orange),

bioflavonoids, and pro-Vitamin A. These high levels of phytochemicals in the Baobab fruit are able to protect the body’s cells from oxidative damage from water, food, and air.

HIGH IN VITAMINS

Vitamin A and K help in cell membrane renewal, and Vitamin E contains linoleic acid which are useful for the protection of the skin production and moisturization,

decreasing inflammation and promote the reform of cells and tissue generation. Baobab fruit extract's vitamin E source also helps with extending the shelf life of a product because it provides oxidative stability.

ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES

Collagen makes up a third of the protein in your body and is what gives skin its strength and elasticity. Baobab extract is rich in antioxidants that, when used on the skin, help to preserve collagen and keep skin strong and glowing.

FUN FACT

Cream of tartar (a cooking ingredient) was initially produced from the acidic baobab seed pulp but is now mainly sourced as a by-product from the winemaking process.

Arrowroot (Powder)

OVERVIEW

Arrowroot is often used in body powders to make your skin silkier and smoother. It softens your skin by enabling it to absorb moisture. It is used in

making body powders. When applied topically, it helps dry blemishes, rashes or other sores, or wounds. Arrowroot Powder easily replaces talc or cornstarch in

cosmetic recipes and formulations. It is also quite versatile, and can act as a thickener, opacifier, texture enhancer, binding agent, mattifier, moisture absorber, and color modifier.

WHAT IS IT?

Arrowroot Powder is an all-natural silky white powder produced by grinding up the dried rhizomes of the tropical Arrowroot plant.

BENEFITS

SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVITIES AND ALLERGIES

Arrowroot Powder can act as an excellent substitute for talc or cornstarch in cosmetic formulations. Talcum powder, although a naturally occurring raw material, often suffers from a negative consumer perception due to its links with the

contaminant asbestos. Others, on the other hand, may have sensitivities or allergies

to cornstarch. In fact, the texture of Arrowroot can be even finer and silkier than cornstarch and also does not have the negative connotations associated with

cornstarch as it is typically made from genetically modified (GMO) corn. Arrowroot

Powder is, therefore, a great alternative to these commonly used cosmetic ingredients, and is easy to work with due to its almost-identical consistency.

PERFECT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

Arrowroot contains many beneficial minerals and vitamins such as zinc, iron, potassium, and Vitamin B6, and is known to provide relief to skin irritations including rashes, acne, and skin sores. It is suited for all skin types and is particularly gentle on sensitive skin, making it ideal for baby care products or for use in the elderly.

ABSORBENT PROPERTIES

The absorbent properties of Arrowroot will quickly freshen skin, ease friction, and function as an anti-irritant. For this reason, it is popular in remedies for athlete's foot as well.

FREE OF IRRITANTS

Most traditional baby powders contain talcum powder, which might cause respiratory problems for certain people. The lightweight arrowroot powder is absolutely free of such irritants. Rather, it absorbs all the moisture and gives a soft and silky smooth feeling after application.

FUN FACT

Arrowroot powder, also known as

Arrowroot flour or Arrowroot starch can be a healthier

alternative to the common cooking ingredients for bread, pasta, and cakes.

Chamomile

OVERVIEW

Chamomile is an herb that has been used for thousands of years to promote sleep, relieve stress, and alleviate stomach ailments, acting as a natural medicine to ease heartburn and nausea. But the soothing plant has powers beyond improving our insides. If you pay attention to ingredient lists on beauty products, you've probably noticed chamomile cropping up in a number of skincare products formulated to calm, heal, and soothe skin—and for good reason. It contains high levels of an antioxidant known as apigenin, which explains its effects on the skin.

WHAT IS IT?

Chamomile is soothing to the skin and is often found in lotions and hair products. It is known in commerce as Matricaria recutita and by its synonym Matricaria chamomilla. Common names include German chamomile, Hungarian chamomile, mayweed, sweet false chamomile, and true chamomile.

lavender species worldwide with different scents and qualities. Lavender essential oil is one of the most popular and versatile essential oils used in aromatherapy.

WHAT IS IT?

Lavender is a perennial shrubby plant in the mint family easily recognized by its tall spikes of blue-purple aromatic flowers. It is one of the most popular herbs in the

world, especially when it comes to cosmetics and spa products. In fact, because it was a favorite bath and perfume herb to the ancient Romans, they named it after the Latin word lavare, which means “to wash.” BENEFITS

HEALS RASHES AND CUTS

With its anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimicrobial and detoxifying benefits, Lavender essential oil can help reduce redness, soothe and calm the skin and rapidly heal minor cuts and scrapes, as well as any rashes.

SOOTHES ECZEMA AND DRY SKIN

Eczema can show up anywhere on your body. With eczema, your skin gets dry, itchy, and scaly. It can appear mild or chronic and in multiple locations. Since lavender has

antifungal properties and reduces inflammation, it can help keep eczema at bay.

RELIEVES INFLAMMATION

Painful inflammation can be treated with lavender oil. The oil’s pain-relieving and numbing effects help soothe the inflammation, while the beta-caryophyllene in the oil also acts as a natural anti-inflammatory.

RELIEVES INFLAMMATION

Because chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties, it helps to protect against long-term and short-term skin inflammation.

CALMING EFFECT

In Behavioral Neuroscience researchers found compelling evidence that the stress relief that comes from Lavender comes the way that linalool, an alcohol that occurs naturally in the plant, activates certain neurotransmitter receptors in the brain via olfactory neurons.

FUN FACT

During the Bubonic

Plague in the 17th century, lavender was

used as a remedy to ward off potential disease.

Hyssop

OVERVIEW

Hyssop oil has been used since biblical times to treat respiratory and digestive ailments, and as an antiseptic for minor cuts, as it as has antifungal and antibacterial activity against some strains of pathogens. It’s a staple in folk medicine, especially in Middle Eastern and Southern European regions, where the plant originates. Today,

Hyssop is considered a multipurpose essential oil among alternative practitioners. The oil has a purifying scent that’s a cross between minty and flowery. It’s also considered a body purifier with numerous benefits.

BENEFITS

ANTISEPTIC PROPERTIES

Since it is an antiseptic substance, Hyssop essential oil protects wounds from infections and helps them heal quicker.

SOOTHES ECZEMA AND SKIN IRRITATIONS
