Cocoa butter
is rich in nutritive fatty acids, minerals, polyphenols, and Vitamin E. It was traditionally used to sooth, protect, and moisturize skin that was exposed to harsh weather conditions. It is known to help keep skin supple, and can be used to ease stretch marks during pregnancy. Cocoa butter works well as a protective and moisturizing agent for very dry, flaky and problematic skin types. Our cocoa butter has a lovely chocolate aroma and is grown organically without GMOs.

Mango butter
has a composition that is similar to that of Shea Butter with a different fatty acid content. It smells slightly sweet and nutty in its natural, unrefined state and has natural emollient properties. Mango butter contains vitamin A, which protects skin against damage caused by UV radiation and stimulates collagen production.

Sweet almond oil
consists mainly of oleic acids, unsaturated fatty acids, sterolins, and vitamin E. Oleic acids maintain the softness of skin, exhibit antioxidant properties, and reduce the appearance of aging. When applied to the skin, sterols and sterolins boost collagen production, skin hydration, and have strong anti-aging effects. Sweet almond oil works well for problem, dry, and itchy skin. It penetrates easily into the skin and is an effective emollient for both skin and hair. This ingredient is sourced organically and expeller pressed.

Coconut oil
is extracted from the meat of the coconut and has a high lauric acid content, which reportedly has high antimicrobial activity. Coconut oil is also known to be very anti-oxidizing and moisturizing. We only use unrefined coconut oil, so it has the most stunning natural smell.

Castor oil
is a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin and contains both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which help eliminate skin infections and irritations. We love working with castor oil because of its smooth, viscous texture and ability to keep moisture in the skin.

Jojoba oil
is one of the best moisturizing waxes because it’s chemical structure is very similar to the skin’s sebum. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and antifungal effects. Jojoba Oil is known for its ability to build a protective barrier, increasing the speed of skin recovery.

Mica
is a naturally occurring mineral dust based on a collection of silicate minerals and composed of varying amounts of potassium, iron, aluminum, magnesium and water. We source all of our mica ethically from suppliers that do not use child labor and can ensure that it is entirely safe for skin application. **Mica found in cosmetics is typically never in it’s purest form, and includes the following additives: titanium dioxide, silocon dioxide, and synthetic fluorphlogopite (synthetic mica). All of the following ingredients are entirely harmless and non-toxic for skin!

MM sericite mica
contains mica, which is a naturally occurring mineral dust based on a collection of silicate minerals and composed of varying amounts of potassium, iron, aluminum, magnesium and water. It also has magnesium myristate, which is known for its ability to improve adhesion and siip in makeup products. Both of which are entirely safe for the skin.

Beeswax
