Body Light

Apply whenever required to any part of the body.

Water - We have only added water so that this lotion is light and quickly absorbed. It is not added to bulk out the ingredients. The rest of the plant oils are all organic.

Organic Kiwi Oil - High in Omega 3 and micro nutrients, it improves skin condition & protects against moisture loss.  It has an excellent after-feel & absorbs easily.   A soft smooth oil good for anti-wrinkle/skin rejuvenation as it helps to give elasticity to the skin.  Suitable for even sensitive skin and babies. 

Organic Rosehip Oil - The only vegetable oil which contains natural tretinoin, the acid form of vitamin A also known as all-trans-retinoic acid or ATRA. Grown in Chile but processed in the UK, the processing of which is approved by The Soil Association. For skin infections such as acne, pimples and boils. Also useful in the repair of damaged skin tissue caused by scalds, burns, varicose veins and skin over-exposed to sunlight, and for treating oily skin, sensitive skin, and reducing or healing fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles and scars. Rosehip is amongst the best vegetable oil source of Omega 3 and is also a good source of Omega 6, both essential fatty acids collectively known as Vitamin F, involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration and normalising skin with large pores.

Organic Evening Primrose Oil - Exceptionally high content of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), a substance the body needs to create prostaglandins. The skin needs prostaglandins as deficiencies will cause dryness, loss of suppleness and wrinkling. The skin will age more quickly and be less tolerant to sunlight and any damage to the skin will take longer to heal. Penetrates down and into the skin, which as a result becomes softer and is less prone to eczema and acne. It has a moisture-retaining effect, prevents drying of the skin, increases the cells’ ability to absorb oxygen and to withstand disease.

Organic Thistle Oil - A dry, thin oil, which is cold pressed from seeds. An excellent source of Omegas 3 & 6 essential fatty acids (also known as vitamin F). Helps to reduce the size of the pores

Organic Glycerine - Non Palm, sourced from the nut oil of the Karanja tree. Used here to thicken.

Organic Sweet Almond Oil - Makes skin soft, smooth and supple.

Organic Orange Fruit Water - Blended with the above Glycerine and Sugar Esters to create the emulsification.

Sucrose Laurate (Sugar Esters) - Sugar esters are made by combining sucrose with a fatty acid via an esterification reaction.  Used for emulsification.

Natural Vitamin E - Alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols which are 100% natural. Vitamin E is a classic antioxidant, which protects against the destruction of the connective tissue caused by free radicals. Non-GMO.

Xanthum Gum - A polysaccharide, which is produced by fermenting glucose used here to thicken.

Organic Essential Oil of Bergamot - Uplifts the spirits, helps lift anxiety, minor stress & depression and just smells great!

Organic Essential Oil of Frankincense - Fairly traded organic resin from a community project in Somaliland. Traditionally used by aromatherapists to clear morbid conditions and grubby catarrh. The resin has been long used in churches and rituals as it causes the diaphragm to drop and so slows down and deepens the breathing. Often considered to be protective and clears negativity. A very good choice for dry and mature skin to help keep wrinkles at bay.

Organic Essential Oil of Lavender - Angustifolia variety, flowers from France harvested at high altitudes. When lavender is grown at over 1400 meters, the plant produces more esters. If the oil is also distilled at high altitude, there is a lower air pressure so a lower temperature can be used & therefore more of the very volatile chemicals come through from the plant to the oil. It is more than worth all the effort as this is a superb oil.

The list of properties for lavender is one of the longest of all the aromatherapy oils. Here it is used for its calming affect & it seems to work best in small amounts.

Organic Essential Oil of Blood Orange - Fairly traded peel from a community project in Spain. More intensely sweet & fragrant than orange essential oil. Brightens dull complexions. A gentle sedative that can release emotional states of tension as well as some hormonal changes. It is the most anti depressant of all the citrus oils.

Preservative (Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid, Glycerine, Sorbic Acid) - We are sorry to add this but have to by law as it prevents the buildup of bacteria, yeast and mould which would NOT be pleasant.  It is a broad spectrum system approved by ECOCERT & COSMOS. It is non-paraben, non-formaldehyde and non-isothiazolone.
