Ingredients INCI
On the left the ingredients as we know them colloquially and on the right the INCI.

Good to know
* Linalool, limonene, farnesol and geraniol are natural components of the essential nerol oil. Relevant for people with allergies.

Essential oils are obtained from flowers and plant parts. They combine the concentrated power of plants and, in addition to the scent, have various positive and negative effects. People with intolerances to certain plants often react to the corresponding essential oils. A single essential oil consists of up to 200 chemical components - some of which can be allergenic. That is why the EU has defined 26 allergenic ingredients. These must always be shown separately in the overview of ingredients (INCI) and show people with allergies that certain products should be avoided.

Shea butter cream: The ingredients in detail

1. Shea butter
Quality: organic, refined
Our popular Shea Cream contains one thing above all: valuable organic shea butter, which we source from women's cooperatives in Burkina Faso and Ghana. Our supplier knows the women personally and guarantees the cooperatives fair purchase prices. The shea butter not only gives the cream its delicately melting consistency, but also protects the skin from moisture loss, increases its sebum content and has a smoothing effect. Pure shea butter is quite solid (similar to honey), but turns liquid at body temperature. This also explains why the consistency of your cream can change with temperature fluctuations. It can become more liquid or solid, and the shea butter can crystallize. However, this has no influence on the quality of the product.

2. Jojoba oil
Quality: organic, cold pressed
Jojoba oil is a light oil that ideally complements shea butter and takes away its heaviness. It absorbs well, does not seal the skin and protects against moisture loss. Jojoba oil is an oxidatively very stable oil. It prevents other oils from becoming rancid (in the product and on the skin), which is very important for your skin and therefore protects against the formation of free radicals.

3. Argan oil
Quality: organic, cold pressed
Argan oil has a balanced composition of fatty acids and supports the regeneration of the skin barrier. Argan oil is called the gold of Morocco. Rightly so, because the oil impresses with its balanced composition of fatty acids. It is ideal for rough, dry and demanding skin. It has a smoothing effect and relieves itching.

4. Vitamin E
Quality: non GMO, from soy
Vitamin E acts as a radical scavenger.

5. Neroli essential oil
Quality: organic, steam distillation of the flowers
Neroli oil is one of the most valuable essential oils and is obtained from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. We use the precious neroli because of its good skin tolerance and the fresh, delicately sweet, bitter scent.
 

Shea Cream Application

Application face
Wash your face with lukewarm water, then apply a small amount of the cream to damp skin. Can be used morning and/or evening.

Application Body
Apply as needed, for example after gardening, for intensive care or simply as a rich body lotion to previously moistened skin.

Note
Since we do not use water in the formulation, the cream is highly concentrated. You need much less than you are used to with previous creams. However, this cream cannot offer you a light texture that is immediately absorbed into the skin, because that would require a lot of substances that we do not want in our products or on your skin. However, with the correct dosage and use with water, this is not a problem. By the way, our buyers also think so. Feel free to check out the reviews below.

Should I use the Shea Cream or the Regeneration Facial Oil?

FIVE Shea Cream is best used in the colder months, when your skin needs a lot of protection and care. The FIVE Facial Oil Regeneration is lighter and is suitable for summer or all year round for anyone who prefer nourishing but light care.

The products can also be used in combination in winter: Use the FIVE Shea Cream as a cold balm for winter walks and the FIVE facial oil for a day at work in the office.
