The European Beech, often called the "ever-lasting youth tree," is a leafy tree with a remarkably upright and smooth trunk that matures after 60 years and often lives to be 200-250 years old. The extract from the mature Beech tree is used in skincare formulations to increase the health of the epidermis, stimulate the skin and as an antiseptic. Proteins accumulate help retain water through an osmotic effect which directly results in increased moisture. Beech bud extract is a unique organic active that brings a softer, smoother, more youthful appearance to the skin.

beeswax description:

Beeswax is a product made by bees to build the walls of their honeycomb. The substance is secreted by virgin honeybees in the form of thin scales and is practically insoluble in water. Beeswax is not absorbed into the skin, so it primarily protects the surface of the skin and traps water on the surface. It is a thickener but is primarily used as an emulsifier. Beeswax is used in many cosmetics including baby creams, moisturizing creams, eye creams and protective creams. It can be comedogenic on the face, so is best used on the body. Beeswax is also a natural sun protectant.
