Hydrate Parched Skin This Winter With Organic Macadamia and Shea Butter
Posted by Stem Organics Admin on
With cooler temps approaching, it’s time for your skin to enjoy a little extra love, and what better way than to treat it to some nutrient rich hydration?
Conventional lotions may leave your skin feeling moisturised, but this is due to silicones that simply sit on the skin and provide it with no real benefits, apart from superficial and temporary results.
To enjoy skin that feels soft and silky, and glows with radiant health all winter long, look no further than macadamia and shea butter; your winter skin’s two new best friends!
Organic Macadamia Benefits
Macadamia nuts are excellent for your health when consumed, and when applied topically your skin simply drinks up the powerful nutrients.
Macadamia is absolutely bursting with fatty acids, namely palmitoleic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. Combined, these excellent fats help to prevent signs of premature aging, decrease wrinkles, stimulate collagen production and regenerate the skin. Linoleic acid helps to prevent trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) from the skin’s tissues, ensuring that the skin stays plump and hydrated no matter how harsh and dry the environmental conditions may get.
Organic Shea Benefits
Shea butter is truly the crème de la crème of moisturisers, thanks to it’s incredibly rich hydrating properties, and impressive nutrient profile. Shea butter doesn’t only keep your skin silky soft, Vitamins A, E and F fight free radicals ensuring the skin stays youthful, while fatty acids promote the formation of an essential structural protein for taut and plump skin, namely collagen.
Shea butter contains a compound called lupeol cinnamate, which is excellent for reducing inflammation in the skin. This makes shea butter not only wonderful for dry or mature skin, but for acne sufferers too, or for individuals suffering with other inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
