INGREDIENTS AND SKIN CARE GOALS

Jojoba Oil hydrates the skin and has antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties. It is helpful in reducing redness and calming skin. As a wax ester, jojoba oil mimics natural sebum, so it helps condition & seal in moisture, softening and smoothing your skin. When combined with beeswax, it also helps protect the skin barrier, reducing trans-epidermal water loss and sealing in moisture.

Shea Butter contains linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic fatty acids that are quickly absorbed into the skin, and help restore lipids and create moisture. This helps restore your skin's barrier that holds in moisture. It is also antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant & anti-inflammatory all while helping to boost cell regeneration. NOTE: It is technically a tree nut, and though it is low in the proteins that typically cause a nut allergy reaction, it can in very sensitive individuals.

Cocoa Butter is a rich fatty emollient that provides a protective barrier on the lips to help retain moisture

Beeswax is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and will help help seal in moisture without clogging pores.
