The harvesting of jojoba provides a sustainable income to Native Americans in this bio-region.
Shea Butter (Karite)*: Tiny almond-like berries from a tree native to Central Africa used for food & body care. Clinical observation has indicated that karite increases capillary stimulation of the skin speeding cellular regeneration. It also has a natural anti-oxidant agent & tests indicated that karite alone protected against UV rays.
Lanolin: A purified** complex, protective substance obtained from the wool of sheep, entirely without harm to the animal. One of the oldest cosmetically used natural substances due to its unique water absorption properties, its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and its resistance to rancidity.Most importantly it resembles human sebum & has the ability to mimic many of its functions in maintaining optimal skin health.

ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils are highly concentrated steam distilled extractions of plants which have been used for well being since the beginning of civilization. Essential oils are present in tiny droplets between the cell walls of plants where they function as catalysts and hormone regulators, acting as agents of adaptation between the plant and its environment. Each drop of essential oil is equivalent to at least one ounce of plant matter and has the ability to diffuse through the skin & membranes to carry its healing properties deep into the tissues
