INGREDIENT GLOSSARY
Here’s a quick run-down of the key ingredients found within our Naturecan Beauty range, so you can discover what works for you and your skin.
ALOE VERA
With anti-inflammatory properties 1, this plant extract offers a proven addition that naturally soothes sore, dry or inflamed skin – perfect for tackling everyday irritations or blemish-prone complexions.
AVOCADO OIL
Extremely rich in oleic acid and monounsaturated fats, this oil is one of the few that can penetrate follicles to moisurise and strengthen your hair and skin, leaving both feeling fully and naturally nourished.
COCOA BUTTER
Acting as a natural barrier, moisturising butter gives your skin an extra layer of everyday protection, plus this sweet plant extract also provides proven health benefits through its anti-inflammatory properties 2 – ideal for dry and sensitive skin.
COCONUT OIL
With a unique combination of fatty acids, this popular oil helps your skin retain its natural moisture, protecting it from daily dryness caused by the weather and other irritants, including long-term skin issues such as eczema.3
GREEN CLAY
The perfect addition to your regular regime, this naturally antibacterial clay removes impurities from the skin 4, and also, being rich in vital vitamins and trace elements, helps to revive damaged skin to give your face its glow back.
HEMP SEED OIL
Not only does this powerful extract work to protect skin from daily grime and aggressors, it also helps to absorb excess oil to restore your skin’s natural balance. 5 And although derived from the cannabis plant, it’s completely THC-free.
HYALURONIC ACID
Rich in antioxidants that support the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 6, HA might sound a little scary but it’s actually naturally produced in the body. A magnet for moisture, it holds the key to those anti-aging effects you've been searching for.
SHEA BUTTER
Give your skin the nourishment it needs with this creamy, milky butter, offering excellent hydration for any part of the body. Whatever your skin type, this natural extract is a tried-and-tested way to get that next-level glow.
SQUALANE
A saturated hydrocarbon found naturally in skin, it’s an exceptional plant-based hydrator that promotes soft, smooth skin. 7 As with collagen, the levels of this essential lipid drop as we age, making it a must for topping up on a regular basis.
TOCOPHEROLS
These organic compounds contain an abundance of vitamin E activity. Known for its antioxidant properties and benefits related to skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis, this essential vitamin also provides natural UV protection. 8
