Shea butter deeply nourishes the skin, promoting a healthy and radiant complexion. Its rich texture provides intense hydration, making it particularly effective for combating dryness and soothing irritated skin.

White beeswax is considered a natural ingredient with minimal processing. We are using it in this coffee bean bar to give the bar its solid body form, and also its excellent moisturising and emollient properties.
