Organic Orange & Lime Hand & Body Cream

Description

The soft and creamy texture of extra virgin olive oil blended with shea butter makes this hand and body cream incredibly skin hydrating and softening.  Blended with orange and lime essential oils, this cream will leave your skin feeling soft and deeply moisturised and your senses alive!  Simply scoop a small amount out of the jar and massage in.

The main ingredient of organic extra virgin olive oil provides that softness to the cream that makes it feel so luxurious to apply.  Olive oil contains at least four different types of antioxidants: vitamin A & E, polyphenols, phytosterols and avenasterol to help maintain and healthy body.  The antioxidants in the olive oil work by neutralising the damaging free radicals that can lead to skin aging and skin cancer.  Chlorophyll, present in olive oil gives it the green pigment and is the lift giving part of plants.  It is an anti-aging substance that promotes the healing of skin conditions and wounds.

Shea butter is the African treatment for skin conditions such as eczema, scarring sunburn, itching, insect bites & skin blemishes and this is the key and main ingredient in this body butter. We use organic (of course) and fair trade shea butter only which contains naturally occurring vitamins A, E & F. With its incredible anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce irritation makes it such a brilliant healer.

Orange essential oil boosts the mood and is an anti-depressant and even an aphrodisiac. It is excellent for the skin with its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties making it ideal for acne, dermatitis and uncomfortable skin conditions. It even aids the reduction of dark spots, thanks to the vitamin C content. Orange essential oil promotes circulation whilst simultaneously reducing enlarged pores and firming the skin.

Lime essential oil does not only emit the most heady and uplifting scents, it also has wide ranging benefits for the skin: antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and a disinfectant – we adore this oil.  The oil we use is produced from steam distillation as opposed to cold pressing and is therefore not phototoxic and doesn’t cause photosensitive reactions in the skin.
