Natural & Organic Hand Cream

ORGANIC OLIVE OIL
Olive Oil has historically been a part of our land and culture and has always been well known as an important ingredient in cosmetics. The natural oil when optimally grown, harvested, and prepared, is high in anti-oxidants and vitamins (A, E and K) as well as naturally rich in active, enriching fatty acids for keeping skin healthy and glowing. Olive oil is effective in a wide range of hair and skin preparations and is used to ease and help alleviate the ravages of exposure to sun and wind. It is highly nourishing, protective, balancing and replenishing for the skin leaving it soft, glowing and smooth to the touch.

ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil is an outstanding moisturizer and skin softener. In FARAN products it is used as a nourishing, moisturizing ingredient especially effective on dry skin. In soaps, this constitutes the ingredient which produces the rich lather. The dominant ingredients in coconut oil are the saturated, essential, fatty acids which enhance the consistency of products due to their ability to solidify at low temperatures. For this reason they resist oxidation and have an extended, natural, shelf life in comparison to most plant based oils.

ORGANIC SHEA BUTTER
We consider Shea butter as a ‚??wonder ingredient‚??! Like Jojoba and Olive Oils we use it liberally and highly recommend its excellent qualities. This butter is rich in vitamins and moisturizing agents, nourishes & helps in treating many skin disorders. Shea butter is the answer for dry, damaged skin, restoring moisture and elasticity. Shea Butter is soothing and proven helpful in dealing with stretch marks. One of its outstanding properties is the content of ~8% unsaponified materials which adds to its efficacy in refinement skin & giving some protection from sun damage. (In its pure form the butter has a 3-4 level natural protection factor). European clinical tests evaluating the active ingredients in Shea Butter found it excellent for treating dry skin, dermatitis, redness caused by sun damage, burns and various skin irritations. The tests suggest that Shea enhances and increases blood flow in the skin that enriches the tissues with oxygen and helps to eliminate toxins.

ORGANIC COCOA BUTTER
Cocoa Butter has the properties to help with thickening the product & act as a co-emulsifier. The butter itself encourages elasticity and has nourishing qualities particularly for dry, cracked skin & is rich in anti-oxidants. Cocoa Butter is also effective for preventing and reducing stretch marks.
