Most moisturizers simply sit on your skin’s surface. Ours works at a cellular level to heal, protect, and regenerate. The secret? A powerful trifecta of unrefined shea, cacao, and mango butters – each bringing unique therapeutic properties that work in harmony to transform your skin’s health.
The Healing Trifecta: More Than Just Moisture
1. Shea Butter: The Skin’s Repair Mechanic
Rich in Vitamins A & E: Stimulates fibroblast production, accelerating wound healing by up to 30% (International Journal of Dermatology).
Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Contains lupeol cinnamate, shown to reduce redness and irritation comparable to 1% hydrocortisone (minus the thinning side effects).
Barrier Reinforcement: Forms a breathable, water-resistant layer that protects against environmental aggressors while allowing skin to respire.
2. Cacao Butter: The Collagen Booster
Packed with Polyphenols: Epicatechin and procyanidins increase skin density by 16% in 6 weeks (British Journal of Nutrition).
Fatty Acid Powerhouse: Palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids mimic skin’s natural lipids for deeper penetration than mineral oil-based creams.
UV Damage Control: Antioxidant ORAC score of 55,000 (higher than acai berries) neutralizes free radicals from sun exposure.
3. Mango Butter: The Cellular Regenerator
High in Oleic Acid (45%): Penetrates deeper than shea or cacao to deliver nutrients to living skin cells.
Unique Mangiferin Content: This xanthonoid compound has been shown to extend the life of skin cells by reducing oxidative stress (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry).
Superior Spreadability: Lower melting point than shea means it hydrates without greasiness – ideal for daytime use.
The Synergy Effect
When combined at our proprietary 35:25:40 ratio, these butters create a “cascade effect”:
Mango’s oleic acid carries shea’s allantoin and cacao’s polyphenols into the dermis.
Shea’s anti-inflammatory compounds calm irritation while cacao’s antioxidants prevent new damage.
Cacao’s fatty acids then “seal in” mango’s hydrating properties for 72-hour moisture retention (measured via corneometer studies).
Why Drugstore Lotions Can’t Compete
No Nutrient Loss: Commercial butters are often bleached/deodorized at high temps – we use raw, cold-pressed versions.
Full-Spectrum Actives: Isolated compounds (like synthetic vitamin E) lack the entourage effect of whole-plant extracts.
Living Chemistry: Our small-batch process preserves delicate phytosterols and tocopherols destroyed in mass production.
“This isn’t moisturizing – it’s skin rehabilitation.”
Experience the Difference
Our Ultra-Rich Body Butter delivers:
✓ 8x faster healing of dry patches vs. conventional lotions (user trials)
✓ 26% improvement in skin elasticity in 28 days
✓ Food-grade purity – safe enough to eat (though we don’t recommend it!)
