Ingredients
Organic Coconut Oil
Cocos nucifera
Coconut oil comes from the coconut fruit. It is typically found in tropical climates like Hawaii. It is widely popular and may support brain health, may support gut health, can moisturize skin, and has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Coconut oil is found in a solid form with a low melting point.
Organic Neem Oil
Azadirachta indica
Neem oil comes from neem trees that grow in tropical and subtropical areas. This oil is great for pest control. It also has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiseptic benefits. It’s a powerful herb that can be used to repel pests on plants, skin, and even hair.
Candelilla Wax
Euphorbia antisyphilitica
Candelilla wax comes from the candelilla shrub, which is native to Mexico. It can be found in cosmetics, food, candles, and even some pharmaceuticals. The benefits of this natural wax are that it has a melting point around the middle of the natural waxes and that it is not water-soluble.
Citronella Essential Oil
Cymbopogon nardus
Citronella, also known as Cymbopogon nardus, is a fragrant grass native to tropical areas of Asia. It is well-known for its bug-repelling properties.
Patchouli Essential Oil
Pogostemon cablin
Patchouli, also known as Pogostemon cablin, is a flowering plant from the mint family. It is primarily used for the fragrance that its leaves produce when processed for essential oil. The oil can support skin health, and the fragrance may benefit mental well-being.
