** Some wonderful words from Jo Fairley, The Beauty Bible, on our award winning Nourishing Hand Oil…’Got to hand it to Tam Mason: this is a veritable miracle-worker!’ **

our ingredients…

Organic Sugar

(Sucrose)

Our Scrubs use organic granulated sugar as their base – the benefits of using sugar within skincare have been known for years but are often forgotten.

A natural source of glycolic acid, sugar gently exfoliates the skin and encourages skin cell renewal whilst drawing moisture from the environment, thereby hydrating and softening your skin naturally.  Sugar feeds your skin and (unlike salt), does not strip it of its natural oils.

Organic Sweet Almond Oil

(Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil)

Sweet Almond Oil will naturally soften, nourish and revitalise your skin.  It is rich in Vitamin E and offers long lasting protection for your hands.

Natural Vitamin E

(Tocopherol (70%), Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil)

The natural Vitamin E we use is mixed with a little Sunflower Seed Oil and is of the highest concentration and quality we can find.

Vitamin E is easily absorbed by the skin, is an anti inflammatory and will condition and protect your skin.

Green Coffee Oil

(Coffea Arabica Seed Oil)

A really wonderful ingredient within our Body Scrub, the cold pressed green coffee beans deliver a deep, rich ‘nutty’ green oil.

The whole coffee beans are not roasted so there is no impact from heat processing, so all the nutrients are left in their purest form with higher volumes of fatty acids and vitamins.

A great antioxidant, easily absorbed by the skin and a highly moisturising oil.

In addition, the oil balances the natural moisture levels of the skin, increasing the production of collagen. It is becoming increasingly popular in cosmetic formulations.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, specifically a fraction of fatty acid from coconut oil. Within the cosmetic industry it is usually used as an emollient and dispersing agent.

We include it as an emollient as it quickly conditions the skin and provides a lightweight, non-greasy lubricating barrier; and as a dispersing agent, it helps to enhance the delivery of vitamins and the active ingredients contained in the Scrub so that they become evenly spread and fully absorbed by the skin.
