Our Ingredients
We believe in harnessing the benefits of clean and simple ingredients. To ensure simplicity and potency, we have meticulously crafted our products to deliver effective hydration while remaining free from unnecessary additives.
We take pride in our ingredients, embracing transparency in our commitment to quality body care. Explore our comprehensive list of ingredients, each thoughtfully selected and meticulously detailed, to understand the unique role they play in our formulations:
Shea Butter: Derived from the nut of the African Shea tree. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A, E, and F, fatty acids (almitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and arachidic) as well as Omega-6 and 9. Dolshea products use unrefined shea butter which maintains all of the shea nut’s intrinsic vitamins and minerals.
Mango Butter: Extracted from the mango nut, mango butter is packed full of essential antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E and keratin-softening salicylic acid.
Cupuacu Butter: Originating from the Cupuacu Tree in Northern Brazil, cupuacu butter has an unparalleled ability to attract and lock in moisture thereby improving skin elasticity.
Cocoa Butter: A fat obtained from cocoa beans. Cocoa butter’s high fatty acid content makes it ideal for locking moisture into the skin and aiding in treating conditions like eczema.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil is a natural oil derived from the meat of coconuts. Its abundant fatty acids and antioxidants offer deep hydration and promote soft and supple skin.
Sweet Almond Oil: Sweet almond oil’s light and non-comedogenic nature allows for a light but potent antioxidant-rich emollient for skin.
Jojoba Oil: Derived from the fruit of the jojoba bush, native to the Sonora desert, jojoba oil increases skin elasticity and softness, reducing cracking or scaliness. Jojoba oil’s functions include antioxidant, anti-acne and antipsoriasis, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal uses.
Vitamin E Oil: Vitamin E oil is an antioxidant that aids in combating free radicals, can help in reducing hyperpigmentation and wrinkles, and helps to nourish and moisturize the skin.
Aloe Vera: Derived from the aloe vera plant and is full of beneficial fatty acids, vitamins A, C, and E, and salicylic acid which aids in reducing inflammation.
Distilled Water: Distilled water is water that has been rid of all impurities to leave clean and unadulterated water.
Vegetable Glycerin: A humectant (a substance that attracts water) derived from plant oils and often used in skincare products to increase skin hydration.
Cetyl Alcohol: A fatty alcohol commonly used as a thickener in skincare products. Cetyl alcohol can be found naturally in coconut and palm oils and can also be produced synthetically. Despite being an “alcohol”, cetyl alcohol does not have properties that dry out skin.
Emulsifying Wax: An emulsifier, derived from plants, used to assist in the binding of oils and water together.
Beeswax: Beeswax is wax produced by bees and is particularly beneficial in soothing damaged skin through its provision of regenerative vitamin A and its ability to provide serve as a protective, moisture-locking barrier.
Optiphen Plus: A paraben-free and formaldehyde-free preservative used in products that contain water to prevent spoilage.
Flavor and Fragrance Oil: Oils used to provide fragrance to our products. We always provide non-fragranced and unflavored products for those who prefer such.
