What's in this stuff?
This a burning question many people ask and we are more than happy to answer! At Glaze'd we pride ourselves on being transparent when it comes to our formulas so we created a breakdown of our ingredients.
In fact, we are happy you care so much about your skin. Many people don't know that 60% of what you put on your skin absorbs into your bloodstream. Imagine putting products on your skin and not knowing what's in it! Scary stuff.
This is why we are here to provide you with peace of mind.
The Base
Shea Butter is used as a base in most of our formulas because it is a powerhouse. Shea Butter is a fat extracted from the nuts of the Shea Tree.
- It boosts skin moisture. ...
- Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe skin problems. ...
- It could heal cuts and scrapes. ...
- It helps fight breakouts. ...
- Antioxidants may mean anti-aging properties.
Not to mention the various Vitamins it contains such as A, E, & F.
Mango Butter like shea butter is butter extracted from a mango's seed. Like Shea Butter, it combats dry skin and contains Vitamins such as C and E. The best part of Mango Butter is that it is super light-weight making it the perfect addition to our Rich Body Butter recipe.
