It also contains a high concentration of essential fatty acids, which help to soften the skin, improve skin barrier function and collagen synthesis and lock moisture into the epidermis.

Shea Oil

Derived from shea butter, this nutritive oil contains an abundance of essential fatty acids—including stearic, linoleic, palmitic and oleic— that play a vital role in the function of the skin barrier.

When applied topically, essential fatty acids may help to reduce transepidermal moisture loss, reduce the hyperpigmentation that occurs as a result of UV exposure and improve skin tone and texture.

With a warm and woody scent, sandalwood oil may also prove beneficial in reducing anxiety levels and increasing alertness.

It is produced by steeping and percolating the pods in a combination of alcohol and water. Its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are due to the presence of the chemical compound vanillin.
