What is the ‘skin tree’?

Ancient Ingredients ~ Amazing Results is the core of our skincare ethos and reflects our belief that the earth offers us everything we need to look and feel our best. It is amazing how extensive indigenous knowledge was, we’ve learned much through archaeological discoveries, how deep was the understanding of the powerful remedies the earth held. One of our favourite Mayan ingredients recently rediscovered by the scientific community was the result of an industrial accident in the 1980’s. In Mexico City a series of explosions resulted in hundreds of people being burned, many had their wounds dusted with Tepezcohuite bark powder. The natural properties of the bark powder provided comfort to the injured and is one reason why the tree is commonly known as the ‘skin tree’.

In collaboration with our formulator we combined the magic of ancient wisdom with our vision of an all-natural skin care collection that makes zero compromises. No toxic ingredients, we wanted something a-MAZ-ing? Go planet!

Combining Ancient Skin Secrets Tepezcohuite and Shea Butter

If we are talking about A-MAZ-ing ingredients, then we need to include Shea Butter on the list. In addition to our powerful indigenous ingredients, the natural lipid content of Shea Butter provides comforting nourishment to dry skin. Shea Butter contains fatty acids which hydrate the skin, sealing in moisture that protect against topical aggression. We love Shea Butter so much you’ll find it in most of our products. 

 

Say goodbye to dry skin and hello to hydrated happy skin with the help of Mayan Magic Balm!
