ANTIOXIDANTS BUTTERS & WAXES CARRIER OILS ESSENTIAL OILS

Antioxidants

Antioxidants, like vitamins and plant compounds, shield skin from damage caused by free radicals, environmental aggressors, and UV radiation. When used in skincare products, they neutralize harmful molecules, promoting skin's health, reducing signs of aging, and maintaining a youthful, glowing complexion.

CoQ10

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) is a potent antioxidant that shields skin from oxidative stress, boosts collagen and elastin, and enhances firmness and radiance. As natural levels decline with age, topical application helps maintain a youthful, healthy complexion by supporting skin’s resilience and vitality.

Rosemary Extract

Rosemary extract is rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress. It helps protect skin from pollutants, assists in maintaining skin's natural resilience, and enhances overall skin vitality.

Vitamin E Oil

Vitamin E oil, a potent antioxidant, fights free radicals and environmental stressors. It shields skin from premature aging, supports collagen production, and promotes healing, leaving skin nourished and radiant.

Carrier Oils

Carrier oils dilute essential oils and “carry” them safely to your skin, ensuring effective absorption without irritation. Lightly scented or unscented, they preserve essential oils’ therapeutic benefits. At GD/Botanicals, we craft many of our own infused carrier oils, using only non-comedogenic options to deeply nourish without clogging pores—perfect for all skin types.

Raspberry Seed Oil

Raspberry seed oil, rich in essential fatty acids, Vitamins A and E, and potent antioxidants, deeply nourishes and protects skin. It shields against environmental stressors, supports lipid balance, and provides powerful free radical defense for a healthy, radiant complexion.

Safflower Oil

Safflower oil is rich in linoleic acid, a type of omega-6 fatty acid that helps to nourish and moisturize the skin. It's non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog pores), and helps to reduce redness and irritation while also promoting a more even skin tone.

Butters and Waxes

Butters and waxes, such as shea butter and beeswax, play a crucial role in skincare products. They act as natural emollients, sealing in moisture and creating a protective barrier on the skin's surface. These ingredients enhance hydration, soothe irritation, and provide a smooth texture, promoting healthier and more supple skin.

Beeswax

Beeswax seals in moisture, forms a protective barrier, and locks in nourishment. Its anti-inflammatory and humectant properties enhance skin's softness, promoting a hydrated and healthy complexion.

Mango Butter

Mango Butter is emollient-rich, locking in moisture, softening skin, and promoting elasticity. Its vitamins and fatty acids help rejuvenate and improve the overall texture, leaving a healthy glow.

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa butter deeply moisturizes, improves elasticity, and contains antioxidants that fight free radicals. Its rich texture nourishes and soothes, leaving skin supple, smooth, and rejuvenated.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is a natural emollient, rich in vitamins and fatty acids. It deeply moisturizes, soothes, and helps repair skin, offering a soft, nourished, and radiant complexion.

Kombo Butter

Kombo butter is a powerhouse skincare ingredient rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes irritation, deeply hydrates, promotes collagen production, and helps reduce scars, blemishes, and fine lines naturally.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that offer powerful skincare benefits. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and natural compounds, they help soothe irritation, balance oil production, and promote a radiant complexion. Whether hydrating dry skin, calming inflammation, or supporting skin regeneration, essential oils enhance overall skin health with their therapeutic properties.
