Key ingredients
Every ingredient earns its place
Every ingredient earns its place, including every essential oil. Ancient Egyptians used fragrant oils and resins in ointments, personal care and anointing preparations. Our modern aromatic botanicals likewise have roles beyond fragrance: research into their compounds explores antioxidant activity, skin comfort, surface-cleansing properties and pathways relevant to skin aging. Each is chosen individually for the complete formula. We do not assume that every modern botanical was used in ancient Egypt.
