Directions: Apply to affected area as needed. Avoid getting into eyes and mouth. Patch test highly recommended.
Ingredients: gotu kola, plantain, chickweed, calendula, shea butter, coconut oil, vit E, peppermint and lavender essential oils.
Gotu Kola: A staple of traditional Asian herbalism, gotu kola (Centella asiatica) contains naturally occurring triterpenoids, including asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These compounds have attracted considerable interest in cosmetic research, particularly in formulations focused on skin conditioning and maintaining the appearance of healthy skin.
Plantain: Common plantain (Plantago major) is a familiar herb found in meadows, gardens, and roadsides throughout much of the world. Its leaves contain naturally occurring compounds such as aucubin, allantoin, tannins, and mucilage. Valued for its high moisture content, plantain has a long history in herbalism, particularly in topical preparations.
Chickweed: This delicate, low-growing herb (Stellaria media) is recognizable by its small white flowers and tender green leaves. Chickweed contains saponins, flavonoids, and other plant constituents, and its fresh aerial parts have traditionally been incorporated into herbal skincare formulas.
Calendula: Known for its brilliant golden-orange blossoms, calendula (Calendula officinalis) contains naturally occurring triterpenoids, flavonoids, and carotenoid pigments. These compounds have made calendula a popular ingredient in modern cosmetic formulations, particularly those intended to soften and condition the skin.
Shea butter provides a rich, emollient foundation, helping soften the skin and reduce moisture loss. Its naturally occurring fatty acids make it particularly well suited to moisturizing body-care preparations.
Coconut oil contributes additional conditioning properties, helping create a smooth, spreadable texture that leaves skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Vitamin E oil provides antioxidant and preservative properties.
Peppermint essential oil lends a crisp, refreshing aroma and a characteristic cooling sensation, while lavender essential oil contributes its familiar soft, floral fragrance.
