The main component in this moisturizer is organic cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is high in antioxidants, which help fight off free-radical damage to the skin. Free radicals can cause skin aging, dark patches, and dull skin. Protecting your skin from free-radical damage is crucial to keep it healthy and youthful-looking. Cocoa butter is also an anti-inflammatory—just another example that it's basically that flower from "Tangled"- minus the singing part. It contains oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids, all of which nourish the skin and is suuuuper hydrating for skin types that get really dry. We also use organic olive (contains antioxidants that fight free-radical damage and an ingredient called squalene, which is extremely hydrating), hemp seed (Reduces inflammation, hydrates, regulates oil production), and avocado oil (Avocado oil has high anti-aging properties that are capable of providing protection against free radicals. Studies have also shown that avocado oil reverses degenerative skin changes seen with aging by stimulating the production of elastin fibers and collagen, thus restoring normal regenerative and degenerative balance) And finally, we've added pure therapeutic grade patchouli essential oil because we're hippies like that.
