Glycerin

Glycerin is of vegetable origin: it derives from the saponification of triglycerides in vegetable oils. It has an emollient and moisturizing action.

Olea Europaea Fruit Oil

Vegetable oil

Olive Oil is rich in monounsaturated (oleic acid) and polyunsaturated (linoleic acid) fats, Vitamin E, a substance with an antioxidant effect, and provitamin A, with a protective effect for the skin. It softens the epidermis, nourishes it deeply, and prevents irritation. It also contains phytosterols and antioxidants, which neutralize the formation of free radicals, acting as inhibitors of skin aging processes.

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil

Vegetable oil

Red Grape is mainly used against free radicals and oxidative stress. Red grape seeds contain proanthocyanidins, molecules that possess an interesting property: they are radical scavengers, meaning they are able to "capture" free radicals, neutralizing them in such a way as to eliminate the harmful effect on our body's cells. Its use in cosmetic preparations is primarily as an anti-aging skin treatment, with vasoprotective and stimulating effects on microcirculation functionality.

Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil

Hemp Oil has moisturizing, nourishing, and revitalizing virtues and is particularly indicated for sensitive, reddened, dehydrated, delicate, or mature skin. It has a highly effective anti-aging effect and helps restore elasticity, brightness, and tone. Hemp oil prevents skin redness, helps keep the skin soft and elastic, and strengthens natural immune defenses. Very satisfactory results have also been seen in the treatment of dry, combination, or impure skin, as it reaches the deeper layers of the epidermis, improving its functions and intervening in the skin’s keratinization processes.

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter

Vegetable extract

Extracted from the Shea tree, known as the “tree of youth and health,” found in West Africa. The extraction process still takes place in the place of origin using an artisanal process. After selecting and crushing the seeds, a product is obtained with a color varying from light green to yellowish, with a pleasant smell and an almost sweet taste, which can be used pure or as a base for many cosmetic products. Shea Butter contains vitamins A, E, and F (protective and restorative properties) and phytosterols (preventative of skin redness). It possesses healing, moisturizing, emollient, and soothing properties. It is also used in cosmetics for the treatment of dry, slack skin, as an anti-wrinkle treatment, and for the scalp. It is completely non-toxic and suitable for the most delicate skin, even with couperose.

Limnanthes Oil absorbs quickly, penetrating the deeper layers of the skin. It possesses excellent moisturizing, emollient, and skin-regenerating virtues because it restores the lipid barrier of the stratum corneum, maintaining its hydration. Useful against stretch marks.
