Ingredients
From nature, with love. Our Natural cold processed
soaps are crafted with plant based oils that contain beneficial properties in
maintaining healthy skin.
SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter is a natural moisturiser and is high in vitamins
A and E. Shea butter also aids in the skin's collagen production and has anti
inflammatory qualities.
COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil contains vitamins A, E and F and is known for
it's hydrating properties, as it locks in moisture and creates a protective
layer, which could help sooth dry and sensitive skin. Coconut oil also contains
Lauric acid which has antibacterial properties.
AVOCADO OIL
Avocado oil is a rich source of vitamins A, C, D and E,
antioxidants, mineral oils and fatty acids. Avocado oil also helps to maintain
the skin's elasticity and the vitamin E helps to absorb free radicials from the
enviroment, that may cause damage. Avocado oil has antimicrobial and anti
inflammatory properties as well.
CLAYS
French clays are rich in minerals, have absorbing qualities
to help draw out excess oils, detoxify and aid in improving skin elasticity.
Along with creating a natural colour palate for Malva Botanics soaps.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
Derived from coconut shells, activated charcoal absorbs
toxins and impurities in addition to cleansing. An ideal choice for acne prone
skin.
Our Packaging
As well as looking after our skin, we want to look after our
planet.
We handcraft all of our own soap boxes here at Malva
Botanics, from card that is recyclable. Gift sets are presented in reusable
jute spa trays or bags, along with recyclable shredded paper. Tissue paper is
used to secure gift sets in place, which is completely recyclable.
Our bath salts are packaged in glass bottles, which can also
be recycled, reused or repurposed.
Postal boxes are all eco friendly too and secured with paper
postal tape
We are very close to being plastic free at this time and
hope to remove the very tiny bit that is left very soon.
