Ingredients
We care about making products that bring cleanliness and joy, but do not harm.
Made with carefully selected botanicals, butters, oils, and fragrance ingredients supported by IFRA safety standards and supplier documentation.
Kokum Butter
Our organic kokum butter comes from the fruit of the Garcinia indica tree native to India. Although it is one of the firmest natural butters available, it often feels surprisingly light once applied to the skin.
Unlike heavier butters that can leave a noticeable coating and can clog sensitive pores, kokum tends to absorb more readily while still delivering excellent conditioning properties.
Kokum is beloved by those who want moisture and softness without feeling overly coated. It leaves behind what we often describe as a velvety, breathable finish that leaves skin incredibly soft and touchable.
What you’ll notice
- A velvety, breathable finish
- Skin that feels incredibly soft without feeling heavy
- Rapid absorption compared to many traditional body butters
- A cleaner, lighter after-feel
Shea Butter
Our organic shea butter is derived from the nuts of the African shea tree and is prized for its rich concentration of naturally occurring plant compounds that remain on the skin after application.
Shea creates a creamy glide and a deeply comforting feel that many people associate with intensive moisture and skin barrier support.
Shea is in all our body melts.
- Deep, lasting hydration
- Contains naturally occurring vitamins and phytosterols
- Supports moisture retention
Cocoa Butter
Our cocoa butter is sourced from organic cacao and serves as the structural backbone of our body melts. We work with both raw cocoa butter and refined (deodorized) cocoa butter, each offering slightly different characteristics while delivering the same deeply nourishing fatty acid profile.
Raw cocoa butter retains its natural chocolate aroma and a greater portion of cacao’s naturally occurring compounds. Refined cocoa butter offers a more neutral scent, allowing fragrances and botanicals to take center stage.
Cocoa butter is exceptionally rich in stearic and palmitic fatty acids, creating a protective layer that helps reduce moisture loss and leaves skin feeling conditioned long after application.
What you’ll notice
- Holds and coats the skin beautifully for long-lasting softness
- Helps lock moisture into the skin
- Luxurious drag on the body for massages
- Naturally stable with an excellent shelf life
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is technically not an oil at all, it is a liquid wax ester. Its structure closely resembles the wax esters naturally found in healthy human skin.
Because of this similarity, jojoba is known for absorbing beautifully while helping soften and condition without excessive heaviness.
- Silky skin feel
- Lightweight conditioning
- Long shelf life
- Compatible with many skin types
- Clogs less than Sweet Almond Oil
Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot is a natural starch derived from tropical plants. In body care formulations, it helps reduce the heavy or greasy feeling sometimes associated with rich butters and oils.
- Helps create a drier finish
- Reduces surface oiliness
- Improves texture
- Creates a more balanced skin feel
- Naturally derived
Fragrance Oils
We carefully select fragrance oils and essential oils from suppliers who provide detailed safety documentation and compliance testing.
Each fragrance oil meets the following standards:
- IFRA (International Fragrance Association) compliance
- EU Standards
- Vegan
- California Proposition 65 status
- Phthalate-Free
- Usage guidelines followed for leave-on body products
Pore-Clogging (Comedogenic) Ratings Guide
The comedogenic scale is a commonly used reference that estimates an ingredient’s likelihood of contributing to clogged pores. Ratings range from 0 (unlikely to clog pores) to 5 (high likelihood).
These ratings should be viewed as guidelines, not guarantees. Individual skin type, climate, genetics, formulation, and usage all influence how an ingredient performs on real skin.
For example, cocoa butter may be too rich for some acne-prone facial skin, while remaining perfectly comfortable for body care. Likewise, an ingredient rated 0 may still cause congestion in certain individuals.
As with any skincare product, patch testing is recommended.

Our Ingredient Philosophy
Rather than focusing on a single number, we formulate around skin feel, balance, and purpose.
Cocoa butter provides structure and a rich, protective layer that helps lock in moisture.
Shea butter contributes deep conditioning and long-lasting comfort.
Kokum butter offers a velvety, breathable finish that leaves skin incredibly soft without excessive heaviness.
Jojoba oil helps create elegant glide while remaining lightweight and skin-compatible.
The result is a small-batched range of products designed for body care, massage, bathing rituals, and daily nourishment rather than facial or acne treatment products.
