In past blogs, we have talked about why natural skincare is good for your skin's health and how important it is for all of us to think about what products we use. It is best to use products that come from natural sources.

Almara Beauty takes the time to research each ingredient to ensure your skin will be nourished and you feel pampered while using sustainable ingredients for the environment. A great example of this is Almara Beauty's body butter. It has unrefined shea butter, which is natural, has healing properties, regenerative and restoring qualities, and is nourishing; best of all, it has no chemicals, animal testing, or harsh industrial processing. This body butter also uses mango butter (a hidden gem). Mango butter comes from the mango seed; oil is extracted and then turned into butter. Mango butter is entirely safe to use. If you have a mango allergy, we recommend doing a patch test. If you see any rashes or irritations, stop using them immediately.

Some of the benefits of shea and mango butter are:

• it's a great skin conditioner
• it gives a soft and smooth appearance
• restores suppleness and improves flexibility
• increases moisture retention by creating a protective layer that reduces water-loss
• rich in antioxidants and vitamins
• anti-inflammatory properties
• soothes red and inflamed skin
• wards off wrinkles
• minimizes the appearance of scars
• skin moisture lasts for over 24 hours

By choosing to use natural skin care products, we are impacting our skin's health and the lives of the people who manufacture them. In other words, it is not only good for you but also for the environment and the people who make it!
