Our Simple Ingredients

Peppermint Extract

• Peppermint is used to soothe inflammation, irritation and itchiness on skin because of its menthol cooling effect.

• Fights Acne: Peppermint’s antibacterial power can help prevent acne and keep your skin clean.

• Cooling Effect: It feels cool on your skin due to menthol, which soothes irritation.

• Balances Oily Skin: It may regulate oil production, making it good for oily and combo skin.

• Boosts Blood Flow: Peppermint oil can stimulate blood flow, making your skin healthier.

• Reduces Redness: It can lessen redness and inflammation linked to acne or irritation.

• Unclogs Pores: Helps remove excess oil, dirt, and impurities from pores.

Certified Organic Witch Hazel Extract

• Witch hazel is an astringent for skin due to its tannin content. Applied to skin, tannins compress proteins in skin, creating an invisible “film” that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, de-grease the skin, and minimize the look of enlarged pores.

• Touted as one of the best ways to remove dirt, grime, and excess traces of makeup at the end of the day to keep your skin looking clear and beautiful. It can be used after the cleanser as a toner to target skin problems like acne, enlarged pores, redness, under-eye puffiness and more.

• Witch hazel contains tannins and polyphenols. Tannins help in reducing swelling and fighting bacteria, and polyphenols protect the skin against damage caused by UV radiation from sunlight.

• Witch hazel has components that help soothe minor skin conditions such as burns, acne, inflammation, irritated skin, insect bites and more.

Aloe Vera Juice

• Certified Organic Aloe Vera Juice has many active ingredients and minerals to feed your skin: its amino acids, vitamins, and minerals can contribute to a healthier epidermis.*

• A great natural moisturizer and can help to soothe dry skin without clogging pores, actually minimizing acne breakouts.*

• Has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles.*

• Wonderful for soothing faster healing from sun burns and/or high temperature heat burns.*

• Top 6 Benefits of Aloe Vera for Skin with scientific explanations:

  1. Soothing Sunburns and Skin Injuries

  Aloe vera soothes sunburns and skin injuries by increasing collagen synthesis and cross-linking. This helps reduce any resulting scar tissue and speeds up wound healing. Aloe also contains compounds called aloin and anthraquinones, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that can help alleviate pain and promote healing.

  But take heed: Aloe vera should only be applied to mild-to-moderate 1st & 2nd-degree burns—more severe burns need to be treated in a medical facility.

  2. Moisturizing Skin

  Since aloe vera contains humectants (substances that attract water from the air or from deeper in the skin), it’s thought to be especially beneficial for dry skin types. Aloe specifically contains mucopolysaccharides, which bind moisture into the skin. It also has cohesive effects by sticking together flaking epidermal skin cells, resulting in softer skin and improved skin integrity.

  3. Fading Dark Spots and Stretch Marks

  There are two compounds in aloe that may fade dark spots and stretch marks: aloesin and aloin. In one study, aloesin was applied four times per day for 15 days and was found to be effective in treating UV-induced and post-acne hyperpigmentation. Another study found aloin destroyed melanin cells (an overproduction of which causes dark spots to form) in pigmented cells by blocking activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production.

  4. Managing Acne

  Aloe vera contains naturally occurring salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenols and sulfur—all of which inhibit the growth of fungi, bacteria and viruses. It also has anti-inflammatory capabilities, which suppresses P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. Salicylic acid is currently one of the best ways to prevent acne, since it sheds dead cells from the outer layer of the skin and decreases redness and inflammation.

  5. Soothing Skin Conditions

  Flare-ups of psoriasis—an inflammatory condition that causes red, itchy and scaly patches—may be better managed with aloe vera in the mix, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Ditto eczema, a skin condition that causes your skin to become red and itchy and more prone to fungal and bacterial infections: Aloe has antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe eczema by hydrating and protecting it from contaminants.

  6. Slowing Signs of Aging

  Because aloe vera contains vitamins C and E, it stands to reason it may help prevent the formation of free radicals, which are the molecules that cause cell damage. Meanwhile, the salicylic acid it contains acts as a gentle exfoliant—and once those pesky dead skin cells are out of the way, your other skin-care products might better penetrate the surface and do their thing more effectively as a result.

2% Salicylic Acid

• Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps to promote the skin’s natural exfoliation process and eliminate the buildup of dead skin cells.

• Because salicylic acid is “lipid-soluble”—unlike alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs)—it is able to penetrate clogged pores, which is especially beneficial for those with oily skin.

• Originally derived from the bark of certain plants—such as white willow and wintergreen leaf—salicylic acid is most often created in a lab today.

• This ingredient has long been used to target various concerns, including rough and bumpy skin (also known as keratosis pilaris), clogged pores, and skin conditions like psoriasis.

• When used as part of your skincare regimen, this ingredient’s mild yet effective micro exfoliating properties can help leave your skin feeling softer and smoother.

Isopropyl Alcohol

We have found this ingredient irreplaceable in many toners. In fact,  ALL acidic toners (whether they contain some form of hidden alcohol or not) will temporarily breakdown the skin barrier and dry out the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of nutrients and moisturizers after use. Drying the skin is seen as “unacceptable” for certain skin conditions,  but the drying aspect of toners is very easily solved. For instance, if you suffer from oily acne AND have drying eczema, you may use our toner, then simply follow with our tallow butter right after to prevent over-drying some areas.

• The only natural, non-greasy, skin-safe solvent to liquify the acne-fighting ingredient: salicylic acid.

• A naturally safe preservative and anti-microbial to fight acne-causing bacteria.

• Its astringency helps clear skin in order to rebalance sebum production when using our cleansers prior and moisturizers after.
