CARNAUBA WAX

Copernicia Prunifera

This makes our products vegan. We use it mainly in our balms to stop them from being too soft and from completely melting in the summer. 
 

FUN FACT Did you know that Carnauba wax is also edible? They use it in gummy sweets and chocolate!

As it contains high levels of phytosterols,  these help reduce trans-epidermal water loss, it makes it fantastic for keeping skin moisturised.
