About the ingredients:

Shea butter: it’s a natural skin super food derived from the african shea tree as a fat and is commonly used for protecting and moisturizing skin. It can also reduce skin swelling helping to treat things like eczema.

Coconut oil: A personal favourite of mine and is a great moisturizer as well as source of antioxidant vitamin E.

Beeswax: It is the “binding ingredient” that pulls the bar together and is all natural so no toxic chemicals!
