our ingredient stories
argan oil
Unique to the Sous Valley of southwestern Morocco, and derived from the nuts of Argania trees, Argan Oil is liquid gold. The argan nuts are hand crushed to retrieve seeds, which are then used to extract a truly luxurious oil that is renewing, deeply nourishing and hydrating. A true gem of the desert.
coconut water
Endearingly named "neolani" or "dew from heavens" by native Hawaiians, refreshingly crisp coconut water is a natural wonder known for it's hydrating properties. A staple of tropical and coastal regions for centuries, our coconut water is ethically-sourced in the Philippines. Harvested from the lush, sandy coastlines by local farmers, it is a replenishing piece of ambrosia from the Pacific.
citrus yuzu
With a scent that is both invigorating and soothing, Japanese Yuzu is an effervescent citrus. This East Asian delight is the embodiment of potently fresh lemon, with a light floral touch and a hint of oregano. Known for it's invogorating and multi-dimensional scent, yuzu has been cultivated for the last 1,500 years for it's brightening and sparkling properties.
murumuru
Murumuru isn't just fun to say, it's also known for it's nourishing properties and luxurious feel. Sourced from Brazil, the murumuru butter in our collections is made from the fruit fat found in murumuru nuts, which fall from tall palm trees that grow all across wet soils and riverbeds of the Amazon.
tea tree
The detox from the land down under, tea tree oil comes from lush and full shrubs that grow in the harsh climates of Eastern Australia. Known for it's purifying properties, and being a known mood booster, it was first discovered thousands of years ago by the ancient native Aboriginal people of Australia. Our tea tree oil is harvested by local growers along streams and marshy lowlands and and exudes a '"green" scent that is both vivacious and herbaceous.
