Shea Butter helps diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin, promoting cell renewal, and increasing circulation. Shea Butter also helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays and is an effective moisturizer because it contains so many fatty acids which are needed to retain skin moisture and elasticity.
Fresh and green with the fragrance of arid desert flowers, Sonoran Desert Flowers weaves the light aroma of desert mariposa, hedgehog cactus, night blooming cereus, penstemon, chicalote, orange poppies and saguary cactus blossoms to create a luminous, sheer white floral with a crisp, dry edge.
