Bergamot essential oil – steam distilled from the peel of the Bergamot citrus fruit. Bergamot is naturally antibacterial and antiseptic. It also helps to even skin pigment and fade scars
Tea tree essential oil – marvelously antibacterial and antiseptic, it is ideal for healing wounds, discolorations and inhibiting blemish causing bacterial growth on the skin’s surface
Coconut oil – A hydrating and skin softening oil that makes an excellent cleanser. Coconut oil rids the skin of dirt and impurities, while its antibacterial properties make it naturally great for reducing blemishes and inflamed skin
Olive oil – Made from the pulp of the fruit of the palm tree, it is an edible oil that is full of fatty acids and antioxidants. The oil softens skin and aids in the recovery of skin damage
White kaolin clay – Is the most gentle clay available. This gentle clay will not draw out the skin’s natural oils as it has no drawing power. It is gentle and soothing to irritated or inflamed skin
