Ingredient Highlights

Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D and E, as well as potassium, proteins, beta-carotene and numerous essential unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains a high quantity of sterolins, which is reported to help reduce age spots, help heal sun damage and scars. Avocado oil is furthermore said to increase the amount of collagen in the skin, which facilitates regeneration, particularly in the case of skin that is dehydrated or otherwise affected by difficult climates. Some claim that avocado oil can even help to relieve the dryness and itching of psoriasis and eczema.

Apricot kernel oil has a high content of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acid. It is considered gentle enough to be used in products for babies, and is thus also suitable for mature and sensitive skin. It is well absorbed without leaving a greasy feeling, and can be helpful in calming the discomfort associated with conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Aloe vera gel is a powerful moisturizer that simultaneously helps to remove dead skin. It also stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin and is known to have a healing effect on burns and other wounds, all of which translates into assisting regeneration.

Distilled water gives this lotion a smooth, fluid texture while ensuring a non-greasy finish, vegetable based emulsifying wax holds everything together, and vegetable glycerine provides staying power.

Moisturizer  for “normal”/sensitive skin is a multi-function product that can be used as the following: unscented lotion with avocado oil + apricot kernel oil*, after sun lotion, tattoo after care, hair smoothing lotion, and under eye cream.

Moisturizer for oily/combination skin – Lemon myrtle and lavender essential oil provide substantial yet gentle antibacterial support to help pores stay clean, which helps to reduce occasional breakouts. This product is not mattifying. Rather, it provides oily/combination skin with a suitable plant-based alternative to petrochemical-based ingredients, so it is best to use a tiny amount while your skin adjusts and no longer overcompensates for the drying effects of petrochemicals by over-producing sebum/oil. Overuse of this or any other plant based facial moisturizer can indeed contribute to oily skin. A little goes a long way, so apply a scant amount, and adjust as required while monitoring over time.

Moisturizer for acne prone skin – tea tree oil helps fight bacteria and keep pores clear. Arguably toner is the most important step in preventing occasional acne, and should be used after washing / before applying moisturizer. Not recommended for highly sensitive skin.

Just the Goods’ moisturizer for dry skin – Roman chamomile and African sandalwood essential oils diluted in jojoba oil provide additional moisture to help combat the tight feeling and dull tone of dry skin. This is not recommended for highly sensitive skin.
