RSPO Palm Oil is a sustainably sourced vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees.

A warm, grounding, and skin-loving oil used in natural skincare.

Shea butter, extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), is a rich and nourishing fat renowned for its exceptional skincare properties. Naturally packed with vitamins A, E, and F, along with essential fatty acids, shea butter deeply hydrates and soothes the skin. Its emollient texture makes it ideal for moisturising dry or irritated skin, while its gentle composition is suitable for even sensitive skin types.

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is a crucial ingredient in traditional soap-making, responsible for transforming oils and fats into soap through a process called saponification. Though it is necessary for creating soap, no Sodium Hydroxide remains in the final product, leaving behind a gentle, cleansing bar that nourishes the skin.

Sweet Almond Oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil extracted from the seeds of the sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis). It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, making it a natural emollient that deeply nourishes and hydrates both hair and scalp. This oil is known for its gentle, soothing properties and is commonly used in haircare products to promote strength, shine, and manageability.
