~Cocoa Butter~

Cocoa butter is extracted from the cacao bean and has a slight chocolate aroma and taste. 
One of the most stable fats, cocoa butter has natural antioxidants that act as natural
preservatives.  While there are some less costly butters and many skin care products use
them.  Body Notions prefers to use cocoa butter because of it's superior qualities, sweet
fragrance and non-pore clogging properties. Cocoa butter has a shelf life of two to five years.

~Coconut Oil ~

Slow to oxodize, coconut is a very stable oil, and resistant to rancidity. 
It has a shelf life of up to two years. 
As a skin moisturizer and softener, coconut oil is excellent.  Because of it's low melting temperature, it is used in many lotions, moisturizers and massage oils.

~Beeswax (Unrefined)~

The Beeswax used in Body Notions' products retains the natural goodness because it has not been bleached and refined.  It has been filtered to get large particles out and keep the propolis, vitamins, and minerals that help nourish and sooth skin. 

Did you know that beeswax forms a light seal on your skin that helps to prevent moisture loss?  Beeswax also does not clog your pores. 

We love to open a new shipment of golden beeswax and smell the light honey and nectar fragrance it fills the room with.  Determined by the type of plants that nector is collected from; beeswax comes in varying shades from a very light gold/yellow and brown to almost orange.  The color of the beeswax varies from one order to the next, so if your lotion bars change color from one order to the next,
it is the color of the beeswax influencing the color of the lotion bar. 

Beeswax and honey acts as natural preservatives. It is believed that Alexander the Great's body was encased with honey to preserve it until it could arrive at it's destination.

~ Olive Oil ~

Olive oil has been used for centuires as a beauty oil.  Containing minerals, protein and vitamins, it makes a wonderfully natural choice for nourishing hair and skin.

~Sweet Almond Oil~
The known goodness and use of almonds date back to biblical times. 

The man who is known as the father of Holistic Medicine in America, Edgar Cayce highly favored the almond.  India has an ancient system of medicine called Ayurveda.  In Ayurveda, the almond is considered nutritive for the brain and nervous system. The constituents of almonds have anti-inflammatory, immunity boosting and other beneficial effects shown by more recent studies.
