Did you know that...

Shea butter: this ancient raw material is extracted by cold pressing the seeds of a wild plant native to Senegal and Nigeria known as Butyrospermum parkii. The fruit of the tree is generally collected by women who separate it from the nut by boiling it for a few hours. It is then dried in full sunlight and pressed. The fatty acids form a paste that is very fragrant and full of impurities. It is then filtered and refined to remove the pungent odour without altering the properties of the raw material. It is also indigenously known as the "tree of eternal youth and health." Suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Shea butter has a very specific repairing, elasticizing and protective action on the skin. The scent, colour and consistency of shea are the main characteristics that guarantee the purity of the product, which is by origin 100% plant. Each individual batch of the product may have a naturally different grain size or consistency. An optimal product for the care and beauty of the whole body, in fact it can be used on:

• Hair particularly when dry, straight and dull rendering it silky and shiny. It can be applied as a pre-shampoo treatment, or even better, the day before washing your hair. Just leave on for 30 minutes to give the hair structure a real lift!
• The whole body as a revitalizer; it is also indicated for the treatment of stretch marks due to its special elasticizing function. 
• The face: as an eye and lip contour cream to combat the formation of early wrinkles, thanks to the high presence of Vitamin A and E. On the face and, in particular on the lips. It can also be applied for its ability to create a protective barrier against cold and adverse weather events in general as well as smog.
• The décolleté to restore tone and elasticity to this area, which is easily subject to sagging.
• Elbows, knees and in general, all areas where skin has thickened or there are calluses to soften and make the skin smooth.

Aloe vera extract: has soothing properties (helps to calm irritation and reduce redness), nourishing, emollient, skin-protective, humectant (moisturizes the skin by promoting water retention in the tissues), restorative (helps to quickly repair tissues and membranes).

Coconut oil: this is an excellent vegetable oil with strong soothing, emollient, toning, elasticizing and moisturizing properties. It is very suitable for dry and brittle skin damaged by external agents (such as cold, wind, etc).

Beeswax: has a water-repellent action (bees use it to protect the hive), emollient and dehydrating. Beeswax is very rich in fats and so is perfect for very dry skin that needs not only to be rehydrated but also to minimize water loss and protection. Thanks to the beeswax, the product creates a kind of barrier that:

• Reduces water loss
• Forms a protective film on the skin that acts against the aggressions of external agents.

The essential oils selected for this formula have been carefully chosen and selected for their harmonizing properties at a central level: they are in fact solar oils, which help to maintain a good mood even on the greyest of days.
