OUR INGREDIENTS
Our ingredients are cosmetic grade, derived from naturally or organically grown sources.
All of our products are manufactured in small batches at the Absolutely Natural facility in Melbourne, Florida.
Our Liquide Butters and Aprés Sol Creme Purée contain shea, mango, and coconut butters, which are excellent for replenishing the nutrients lost to sun, aging, and the elements.
Shea Butter
Comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree. Naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F, it provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production.
Coconut Butter
Rich in Lauric Acid and contains vitamins E and K.
Mango Butter
Delivers moisture, and vitamins A, C and E, which work to free radicals. The sun's rays and air pollution can cause free radical scavenging, a primary cause of aging.
When applied to the skin, mango and shea butter have the ability to protect from sunburn as well as sooth sunburned skin. However, not all of our products are SPF rated, so we advise people to use SPF on sun sensitive areas such as 30A SOL SPF 30.
The “shimmer” in our Liquidé Butter Bronze Shimmer comes from Mica, a mineral suspended in a natural beeswax extract.
Our Apres Sol Creme Purée features our Lime-Coconut fragrance from lime and coconut fruit puree and coconut milk. It also contains aloe, jojoba seed oil, cucumber and green tea in addition to shea, mango and coconut butters.
Jojoba Seed Oil
Contains vitamins E and B; minerals copper, zinc and chromium as well as iodine, which has anti-bacterial properties. Jojoba's composition is very close to the skin's own and will help boost skin's recovery and restoration processes. Excellent for acne-prone skin and dandruff, this is also an outstanding deep moisturizer and will combat stubborn signs of aging.
Aloe Vera Extract
Contains 75 nutrients including 8-essential amino acids and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C and E. Long noted for its healing properties, aloe vera is used in the treatment of wounds, burns and minor skin infections.
Cucumber
Contains vitamin C, manganese and vitamin K. Cucumber has long been used in skincare at home and in spas and is known for its ability to help shrink capillaries and improve skin's elasticity by boosting collagen production.
Our Renue and Active Recovery Mists are both aloe-based which is why they have an immediate cooling effect.
Active Recovery Mist also includes tea tree oil, green tea, and eucalyptus. We have found that “yellow flies” don’t like tea tree oil and eucalyptus so they stay away!
Tea Tree Oil
Contains calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, beta-carotene as well as 18-amino acids. Tea tree has long been known as a beneficial natural remedy. Because of its antiseptic qualities, tea tree helps heal cuts and scrapes and aids in the treatment of acne and other skin blemishes and irritations.
Our Renue Mist has our refreshing Lime-Coconut fragrance from essential oils and contains organic green tea. It can be used to gently re-hydrate and refresh.
Green Tea
Contains polyphenols and is a rich source of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) a powerful, natural antioxidant. Green tea extract naturally removes toxins from the skin.
Our Facial Smoothie can be worn at night or during the day under makeup. It features organic lime puree working as a gentle exfoliator with ultra moisturizing organic coconut milk, coconut water, coconut oil, naturally-derived hyaluronic acid and vitamin E complex in a soothing aloe base.
Lime
Its natural oils rejuvenate the skin, keep it shining, protect from infections and reduce body odor due to the presence of a large amount of vitamin-C and Flavonoids. Those are class-1 antioxidants and have antibiotic and disinfectant properties. When applied externally on skin, its acids scrub out the dead cells, reduce dandruff and help with rashes, and bruises.
Coconut Milk
A liquid extracted from grated coconut. Due to its soothing properties, coconut milk is a great moisturizer that can replace moisture in dehydrated skin. Coconut milk is effective in treating sun damaged skin as its fats and oil help reduce redness and restore moisture. Coconut milk improves skin elasticity due to its copper and vitamin C content. These nutrients slow down the aging process by maintaining flexibility and elasticity of the skin and blood vessels. Due to its moisturizing properties, coconut milk can soothe the symptoms of psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. Its natural fatty acids can help treat dry and irritated skin and remove harmful bacteria from your skin.
Coconut Water
Boosts circulation and clears the pores. Coconut water has cytokinins which prevent the skin from pre-mature wrinkles and aging. Coconut water has all types of anti-viral, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties to help heal and soothe the skin. It can improve acne and dark spots while delivering natural moisture and a healthy glow.
Hyaluronic Acid
Also known as a glycosaminoglycan is often touted for its ability to "reverse" or stop aging. This is because the substance occurs naturally and abundantly in humans and animals and is found in young skin, other tissues, and joint fluid. Hyaluronic acid is a component of the body's connective tissues, and is known to cushion and lubricate. Skin care products with hyaluronic acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin.
Vitamin E Complex
A fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for the maintenance of healthy skin. Naturally occurring vitamin E is not a single compound. It is a group of molecules with related structures, some of which may have unique properties in skin. Vitamin E can absorb energy from ultraviolet (UV) light, an important role in photoprotection, preventing UV-induced free radical damage to skin. Vitamin E may also have related anti-inflammatory benefits.
Our Active Recovery Gel uses rosemary, arnica, eucalyptus, and capsicum to sooth tired and sore muscles and joints.
Arnica
A plant native to mountainous areas of Europe and North America, has been used for centuries to treat muscle pain, bruising and insect bites. Athletes rub it on muscles to soothe soreness and strains. Arthritis sufferers rub it on joints to reduce pain and swelling. It’s believed that the plant contains derivatives of thymol which may have anti-inflammatory effects.
Rosemary
An herb, has anti-inflammatory properties which can help calm inflamed muscle tissue and speed healing.
Eucalyptus
When used topically, has been seen to help with arthritis pain and muscle soreness.
Capsicum
Also known as pepper or chili pepper. The fruit of the capsicum plant contains a chemical called capsaicin. Capsaicin seems to reduce pain sensations when applied to the skin.
