Culturally Women have been sharing beauty secrets for thousands of years and we love incorporating these precious ingredients into our formulations. Ingredients such as Argan Oil, Shea Butter and Marula Oil have largely been made by Women in rural communities. Whenever possible we purchase our cold-pressed oils through sustainable cooperatives that give back to the communities.
