A quick reference guide to let you know what's in our stuff!
Apricot Kernel Oil: An extremely desirable moisturizer rich in Vitamin A and E, Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from the inedible kernels found in the apricot pit. Helps skin retain elasticity and suppleness without feeling greasy. Excellent when used on dry or mature skin.
Beeswax: A Natural wax made by bees in the cell of honeycombs. Beeswax is a natural emulsifier used in cosmetics since prehistoric times. Adds a wonderful natural smell and color to products, and helps to seal and protect the skin when used in moisturizing products.
Shea Butter: In Central Africa, the Karite Tree flourishes remarkably amid harsh, arid conditions. Sometimes called the "tree of life" for its many beneficial uses, it yields a nut containing the natural fat, shea butter. One of nature's most effective moisturizers, shea butter is ultra rich yet gentle, providing deep healing, moisturizing and protection of skin, hair, cuticles and lips.

Sweet Almond Oil: Pressed from the ripe seeds (nut) of the almond tree. A versatile, carrier oil, good for all skin types. Ground Almonds make for excellent natural abrasives. Moist with Sweet Almond Oil, ground almonds help replenish the oils lost from the skin during the cleansing process; being rather soft in texture, they produce a gentle massaging effect in exfoliators. Very lubricating and can relieve itching and inflammation; a wonderful, natural moisturizer for 'dishpan' hands and chapped skin.
Vegetable Glycerin: This is a versatile all natural product with an extended shelf life. It is a carbohydrate made from vegetable oil, often palm or coconut oil. It is water-soluble as well as hypoallergenic. Not only is it safe for use in cosmetics but ingestible as well. All our Primal Elements Soap Slabs are made with 100% Vegetable Glycerin!
