Best Natural Ingredients for Dry Skin

Dry skin can be uncomfortable, leaving your complexion feeling tight, flaky, and sometimes even itchy. While there are countless creams and serums on the market, nature offers some of the most effective solutions for soothing and nourishing dry skin. Here’s a roundup of the best natural ingredients to hydrate, restore, and protect your skin naturally.

1. Shea Butter

Shea butter is a rich, creamy fat derived from the nuts of the African shea tree. Packed with vitamins A, E, and F, it deeply moisturizes and restores the skin’s natural barrier. Its emollient properties make it perfect for dry patches, rough elbows, and even lips.

How to use: Apply shea butter directly to dry areas or choose a body cream or balm containing high shea butter content.

Our whipped shea body balm (essential oil free) and whipped shea butter with ylang ylang and bergamot is perfect for dry skin.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a versatile natural moisturiser that penetrates the skin easily. Its fatty acids nourish dry skin, while its antibacterial properties can help prevent irritation and infections.

Our whipped shea butters all have all been formulated with unrefined organic coconut oil.

3. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is known for its soothing, cooling properties. It hydrates the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for sensitive or irritated dry skin.

Our hydrating mango butter is formulated with aloe vera and is guaranteed to keep your skin hydrated and supple.

4. Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, making it a gentle yet effective moisturiser. It absorbs quickly, nourishes dry skin, and can even help balance oil production.

Our body butters and hydrating mango butters are all formulated with jojoba oil to help nourish dry skin.

5. Avocado

Avocado is rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants. Its creamy texture nourishes and softens dry skin while supporting the skin’s natural barrier.

Our renewal face oil contains avocado oil and is fantastic for dry and aged skin.

 

Tips for Maximizing Moisture Naturally

• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin moisture from within.

• Avoid hot water: Hot showers can strip your skin of natural oils.

• Layer your care: Use oils or butters over damp skin to lock in hydration.

• Choose gentle cleansers: Harsh soaps can worsen dryness.

Natural ingredients not only nourish and protect your skin, but they also minimize exposure to harsh chemicals. By incorporating these ingredients into your daily routine, you can soothe, hydrate, and restore your skin to a healthy, glowing state, naturally.
