Instead of waxing lyrical about how amazing they are (and they are!) we thought you'd like to know more details about what we've squeezed into our recyclable aluminium 250ml bottle, created as we thought your hands need some love after overdosing on alcohol gel in 2020!
Cold Pressed Botanical Seed Oils
We've utilised the highest quality cold pressed botanical seed oils into these products, but why?
Most hand care products contain a blend oil oils, fats and waxes that are derived from plants and then heat processed to produce large amounts of oils. During heat processing (as when we cook vegetables) their vitamins and minerals are reduced therefore though they may be good ingredients - critically they lose their vital potency.
By cold pressed oil processing the seeds are squeezed and compressed expelling their precious natural oils which are then filtered, using no heat at any stage. The process is time consuming and provides smaller amounts of oil, however, the oil is packed full of its naturally occurring vital vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that skin loves! We know it is well worth the extra effort to ensure our hand products are nutritionally highly effective, luxurious and a joy to use. Our cold-pressed seed oils are good for the planet too by being a natural by-product of the food industry!
