Origin
Derived from the meat of coconuts grown in tropical regions, coconut oil has been used for generations in traditional beauty rituals for its rich, skin-softening and protective properties.

Properties

Origin
Derived from the seeds of the jojoba plant native to desert regions of North America, this oil has been used for centuries for its skin-balancing and protective properties.

Properties
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, commonly found as tocopherol, known for its protective and nourishing properties. It helps defend the skin against environmental stressors while supporting moisture retention and barrier function.

Benefits

Naturally found in plant oils, nuts and seeds, vitamin E used in skincare is often derived from vegetable oils or carefully synthesised to ensure stability and consistent performance.
