What’s inside
Its ingredients
-
Shea
Butyrospermum parkii
Deeply nourishes your skin and melts on contact: a rich butter made from shea nuts.
Shea butter is the fat extracted from the nuts of the shea fruit, a tree of the African savannas. Firm when cool, it melts on contact with the skin. It is used to nourish the skin and, in the formula, gives the texture body.

Beeswax
Helps your skin hold on to its moisture under a featherlight veil: wax that bees build in the hive.
Beeswax, an ingredient of animal origin, is made by bees to build the cells of the honeycomb. Melted and filtered, it gives the formula its structure and leaves a light film on the skin that helps preserve its moisture.

-
Sweet almond
Prunus amygdalus dulcis
Nourishes your skin and leaves it satin-smooth: a light, gentle oil pressed from sweet almond kernels.
Sweet almond oil is pressed from the kernels of the sweet almond tree, a member of the rose family native to Western Asia. Light, it glides easily over the skin. It acts as an emollient, an ingredient that helps soften the skin and leave it supple.
-
Jojoba
Simmondsia chinensis
Smooths your skin with a silky glide: a liquid wax from the seeds that behaves like an oil.
What we call jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax from the seeds of a desert shrub native to the south-western United States and northern Mexico. It acts as an emollient, an ingredient that helps soften and smooth the skin.
-
Vitamin E
Helps your product stay fresh for longer: an antioxidant that protects the formula from oxidation.
Vitamin E, or tocopherol, is a family of antioxidant molecules. Added to a formula, it helps protect it from oxidation, which over time alters its oils and its scent.
What gives it its scent
Smells like: lavender and aromatic herbs, over soft botanical accords (only the lavender essential oil in the formula).
-
Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia
A floral, herbal note for a hushed, cozy mood: lavender.
Lavender is a small shrub of the mint family, native to the Mediterranean basin. Its flowering spikes are distilled into an essential oil, and its flowers also keep well dried. It is used for fragrance and sets a hushed, cozy mood.
