Beeswax - One of the most versatile and widely used bee products, beeswax is indispensable in the beauty product industry where beeswax has the unique ability to add solidity to emulsified solutions, to help stabilize emulsions and to increase the water-holding capabilities of ointments and creams. In lipsticks, it improves sheen, consistency and the stabilization of colour. In creams and lotions, it creates a superior appearance and consistency.
Vegetable Oils - USP grade almond, coconut, lanolin and olive oils give skin and lips moisture and protection from harsh environmental conditions.
Aloe Vera Gel - Aloe has been used for skin ailments since ancient times. The pure inner gel extracted from the aloe leaf is the best natural remedy for skin abrasions and it also helps diminish the symptoms of aging skin conditions. It also helps in curing stings, rashes, and psoriasis. Journal of Dermatological Treatment says that the topical application of aloe vera gel combined with tretinoin is extremely useful in the treatment of mild and moderate acne vulgaris. Another study has also proved the ability of aloe vera to cure suntan and sunburn.
Skin Nutrients - Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. Vitamin A in the right balance is necessary since a lack or excess of it can cause dry, rough and unattractive skin. Vitamin A also helps to reduce production of pore-clogging oil. Vitamins C and E are useful antioxidants that inactivate free radical components that would otherwise do great harm. Vitamin C also helps the body make collagen. This protein creates connective tissues and keeps skin looking youthful by helping to prevent sags and bags. Unfortunately, collagen decreases with age, and sun damage accelerates the loss. Research indicates that vitamin C, applied topically, may also be absorbed through the skin to heal damage caused by burn or injury. Vitamin E is valuable not only as an antioxidant, but also because of its healing properties. As well, it helps to promote the absorption of vitamin A.
