Pink Himalayan Salt is a natural exfoliant that sloughs away dead skin cells and stimulates circulation to create a healthy glow.

Butterfly pea flowers are rich in anthocyanin compounds called ternatins, which give the plant its vibrant hue.

Test-tube studies suggest that ternatins can alleviate inflammation and may prevent cancer cell growth.

Additionally, the plant contains several other antioxidants, including:

• Kaemphferol. This compound has been studied extensively for its cancer-fighting properties. Test-tube studies indicate that it may kill off cancer cells.
• p-Coumaric acid. Some research suggests that p-coumaric acid could have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral effects, which may help protect against disease.
• Delphinidin-3,5-glucoside. According to one study, this antioxidant may help stimulate immune function and cause cell death in colorectal cancer cells.

Cacao Butter is great at hydrating the skin and locking in moisture. Because it’s rich in saturated fats, it’s easily absorbed into the skin and can keep it feeling soft and smooth for hours after application. Credit the cocoa mass polyphenols in cacao butter that may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 🤭
