Avocados have long been used as a hair pomade to stimulate hair growth, and in face masks to combat wrinkles. The oil was once believed to be an aphrodisiac.

It also possesses vitamins A and E, and is beneficial to dry, dehydrated and mature skin. This is why we use it in our rich Night Serum. -
Beeswax (Cera alba)
Secreted by worker honeybees, beeswax contains a type of wax esters also found in the human skin that help retain its natural moisture. Beeswax is an emulsifier, helping bind other ingredients into lotions and balms. It also aids in relieving itchiness.
