Water
phase:
70-80% of each cream consists of a water phase. This is made up of one
or more of the following:-
a) pure aromatic water where the herb is distilled and the volatile
components pass into water.
b) pure infusion where the herb is steeped in boiling water, strained
and the water used.
c) decoction where the herb or herbs are simmered in water, strained
and the water used.
Oil
phase:
The vegetable oils used are mainly St. John's Wort oil, avocado or hemp
seed oil (unrefined and organic). Also jojoba oil (organic); unrefined
olive oil and evening primrose oil; unrefined and organic rosehip oil,
wheat germ oil and apricot kernel oil.
Avocado
oil:
Extracted from the flesh of the fruit, which contains up to 30% pure oil.
This oil is rich in many nutrients including Vitamin A and D, lecithin,
potassium and chlorophyll. It is particularly good for facial creams,
has its own moisturising properties and helps to nourish mature and weather
damaged skin.
Essential
oils:
These have been added to some creams to supplement the effect of the aromatic
water and heighten the aroma of the creams.
Shea
butter:
Made from the crushed nuts of the African shea tree. It has been used
in skin and hair care for centuries. It makes creams thicker and more
moisturising. It is rich in oleic acid, an essential fatty acid.
