Beeswax
BEESWAX
Introduction
- Beeswax is produced naturally by honey worker bees in bee hives. Many people don’t know this, but beeswax is actually edible. When eaten, beeswax doesn’t have many health benefits, but beeswax is really good for the skin and the hair!
Benefits and Applications
- Beeswax is used in many skin care products because it provides a protection against irritants while still allowing the skin to breathe. It also offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral benefits making it helpful in treating skin irritation
- Beeswax contains Vitamin A and provides long-term moisturizing, actually locking moisture into the skin. Unlike petroleum based parabens, beeswax remains biologically “alive” even after it is processed!
- Beeswax not only moisturizes and smoothes down hair, it also keeps moisture from getting out of the hair
- Beeswax is used to naturally stimulate hair growth
Fun, random facts
- The mainstream beehive designs used in South Africa are the Langstroth beehive & Jackson Beehive
- Used to form the mouthpieces of a didgeridoo
- Used as an ancient form of dental tooth filling
Safety Precautions
If you are pregnant or nursing (we’ve added this in just case your girlfriend or wife, sisters, mother and so on decided to give test our products on their hair), taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a healthcare professional prior to use.

Jojoba carrier oil
JOJOBA CARRIER OIL (Simmondsia Chinensis)
Introduction
- Jojoba is a carrier oil, also known as base oil or vegetable oil, is used to dilute essential oils and absolutes before they are applied to the skin in massage and aromatherapy. They are so named because they carry the essential oil onto the skin.

- Since it is composed of wax esters, it is an extremely stable substance and does not easily deteriorate and the structure closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturizer and ideal for all skin types.
Aroma
- Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils, though some, such as olive, have a mild distinctive smell.
Benefits and Applications
- Jojoba oil can prevent the skin from becoming too oily
- It contains myristic acid which also has anti-inflammatory actions and since it has a similar in composition to that of the skin’s own oils, it is quickly absorbed and is excellent for dry and mature skins as well as inflamed conditions
- Jojoba oil may help treat acne, reduce wrinkles, stretch marks, heal scars
- Jojoba oil contains important B vitamins, Vitamin E, minerals such as zinc, copper and chromium. It is known the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Both of these properties are necessary for promoting skin health.
Fun, random facts
- The plant is dioecious. That means there are male plants that produce pollen and female plants that produce inconspicuous flowers which develop into the brown, acorn-shaped jojoba nuts after wind-pollination
- In spite of their extreme habitat jojoba bushes can become as old as 200 years

Vegetable Glycerin
VEGETABLE GLYCERIN (Glycerol):
Introduction
- First of all, glycerine soap is a natural soap, hand-made from a 100% vegetable base. Unlike regular detergent soaps made in the factory that are full of preservatives and chemicals used to make the soap smell good or increase lathering, glycerine soap uses none of these
- Glycerine is sometimes referred to as glycerol. It is a colorless and odorless syrup that tastes sweet and is a by-product of saponification — the process of making soap — of natural fats, such as vegetable oil
- Glycerine naturally draws moisture to it which helps keep the skin moisturized and supple
Benefits and Applications
- Pure vegetable glycerine has wonderful cleansing, moisturizing, emollient, soothing and lubricating properties
- It is ideal for sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture up through skin layers and slows or prevents excessive drying and evaporation
- Glycerine kills all bacteria by instantly drawing the water out of them
- Other applications are as a topical remedy for a number of skin problems, including psoriasis, rashes, burns and cuts

Vegetable Glycerin
VEGETABLE GLYCERIN (Glycerol):
Introduction
- First of all, glycerine soap is a natural soap, hand-made from a 100% vegetable base. Unlike regular detergent soaps made in the factory that are full of preservatives and chemicals used to make the soap smell good or increase lathering, glycerine soap uses none of these
- Glycerine is sometimes referred to as glycerol. It is a colorless and odorless syrup that tastes sweet and is a by-product of saponification — the process of making soap — of natural fats, such as vegetable oil
- Glycerine naturally draws moisture to it which helps keep the skin moisturized and supple
Benefits and Applications
- Pure vegetable glycerine has wonderful cleansing, moisturizing, emollient, soothing and lubricating properties
- It is ideal for sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture up through skin layers and slows or prevents excessive drying and evaporation
- Glycerine kills all bacteria by instantly drawing the water out of them
- Other applications are as a topical remedy for a number of skin problems, including psoriasis, rashes, burns and cuts
- Glycerine improves natural hair moisture and elasticity, helps prevent hair breakage and stimulates hair growth

Argan carrier oil
ARGAN CARRIER OIL (Argania Spinosa L.)
Introduction
- The Argan tree is known throughout the Berber state in Morocco as the “Tree of Life.”
- Argan oil (also known as liquid gold or miracle oil) is derived from the seeds of the Argan tree fruit. It’s one of the rarest and most expensive oils in the world.
- Argan trees, used to span North Africa, but can now only be found in Morocco. The tree has been marked by UNESCO as endangered, which explains the reason why the oil in itself is so expensive.
Aroma
- Very mild, fruity, nutty aroma
Benefits and Applications
- Pure Argan oil is easily absorbed, and it regulates the pH balance of the skin, which in turn protects against sun exposure and other damage. It also reduces skin inflammation and thus helps control and reverse skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis while also diminishing scars.
- Improve skin elasticity, hold moisture This is in part due to Argan oil’s rich stores of essential fatty acids
- Considered a “dry” oil and therefore non-greasy on the skin
- Penetrates the hair shaft, allowing it to repair damaged hair follicles and restore moisture to dry hair
- It also increases shine of lackluster dry hair by locking in the moisture
- Helps to restore shine to dull brittle hair
Fun, random facts
- Argan tree groves survive for 125 – 450 years, making them a valuable inheritance for future generations.
- Argan oil has a similar fat content to olive oil and is used for similar purposes. Commercial Argan oil is a lot more expensive than olive oil.
- Traditionally the local Berber women collect the seeds and press them to obtain the Argan oil for domestic use. This is a laborious process taking about 12 – 20 hours of hand processing to produce one litre of Argan oil. Oil produced by this method will keep for 3 – 6 months because it has extremely high vitamin E levels and is considered oxidatively stable. Moroccan families produce the oil as needed from a store of the kernels, which will keep for 20 years unopened.
