body moisturiser
An oil-rich moisturiser for every body
Highly prized by the Egyptians, Beeswax hydrates, conditions, soothes and calms the skin. It’s also great for stretch marks and protects against environmental pollutants
Almond oil improves skin tone and can reduce the appearance of scars. Coconut oil is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and moisturising. Shea butter is anti-aging and restores the elasticity of the skin, whilst the Essential Oils boost goodness and add scent
