While it's easy to throw a lot of cheap mineral or tropical oils into a body moisturizer and provide the illusion of hydration, these substandard ingredients actually shellac the skin surface so that underlying cells can't breathe. Breakouts and rashes are often the result, especially if you have sensitive skin. That's why our key moisturizing ingredients are cold-pressed shea nut extracts, unique because they're so low in free fatty acids (greasy-feeling, blechh) and so high in naturally active hydrators that can penetrate deeply into sub-dermal layers.
Adding potent antioxidants -- Vitamins A, D and E, delivered in liposome format -- helps protect delicate sub-dermal cells from free radicals and aids in collagen production. Formulated specifically for those with sensitive skin. No artificial color. Fragrance-free. Compare to L'Occitane Shea Butter Body Lotion, $30 for 8.4 oz, Frederic Fekkai Body Cream with Shea Butter, $36 for 6 oz and Murad Vitamin C Body Cream (with shea butter), $42 for 6.75 oz.
One packaging note. We still have packaging with the old ingredients listing and rather than waste it, which would be costly and environmentally irresponsible, you'll hopefully see a sticker directing you here for updated ingredients info. Or not, because they always fall off. In any case we haven't made the old formulation for a few years.
