Rosewater: Used in skincare preparations for centuries, rosewater is naturally
astringent and antiseptic. It helps tighten pores, soothe capillaries, reduce
redness, fight blemishes, smooth wrinkles, and restore suppleness for a dewy
complexion. Rosewater soothes irritated skin conditions, including acne,
sunburn, or overexposure to the elements and is beneficial for all skin types,
including dry, oily, and sensitive.


Sea salt: Solar-dried sea salts retain the rich vitamins, minerals, trace elements,
and amino acids of the sea. Sea salts have a very high concentration of calcium,
magnesium, potassium, sodium, and bromide that are essential for healthy-
looking skin and naturally alleviate redness, irritation, and swelling due to
blemished skin. Sea salt baths and body scrubs are believed to increase
circulation and bring more white blood cells toward the surface of your skin,
helping to heal imperfections and giving your skin a natural glow. In effect, the
skin is tightened and the appearance of pores, cellulite, wrinkles, and lines can
be reduced.


Shea butter: With an abundance of healing properties and superior moisturizing
capability, shea butter actually restores the skin’s natural elasticity. Shea butter
contains a ton of naturally occurring healing elements, including vitamins,
minerals, proteins, and a unique fatty acid profile. Shea butter enables your skin
to absorb moisture from the air, and as a result, your skin becomes softer and
stays moisturized for longer. Shea butter has a natural sun protection ranging
between SPF 6–7.


Soy milk: Rich in isoflavones and vitamins, soy milk is beneficial in skin care to
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
