| A whopping 95% of our body butter is certified organic shea butter of the finest quality. Shea is used by African tribal people to moisturize and nourish skin. The other 5% is either Evening Primrose Oil, Black Currant, or Pomegranate and Vitamin E.
Evening primrose oil (canhlo’gan hu’nla or rattle weed in Lakota) is rich in gamma linolenic acid, a powerful anti-inflammatory. It is perfect for calming irritated and stressed out skin, such as pregnant bellies, elbows, cuticles, and the soles of the feet. The Flambeau Ojibwe people also used Evening Primrose for treating bruises.
Black Currant (pezi nuga in Ponca) is also packed with gamma linolenic acid, which has been shown to be beneficial for even the most problem skin conditions. This healing berry is used by tribes throughout North America.
Pomegranate is used by Mediterranean cultures and is one of the worlds most powerful anti-oxidants. By repelling free radicals this product protects in addition to the healing provided by the shea. |
