Shea Butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree.  Especially good at penetrating the skin, and naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F, Shea Butter provides the skin with the essential fatty acids and nutrients necessary for collagen production. With natural UV protection (it is SPF ~6), Shea Butter delivers key anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing components directly into the skin; leaving it nourished and soft.

Throughout the ages healing clays have been used for their ability to rid the body of toxins. If we look to nature, many animals will instinctively turn to eating or rolling in clay to help remove poisons, toxins, bacteria and viruses from their systems. At Aunty Amy’s we use Bentonite Clay, an aged volcanic ash, that unlike some other clays doesn’t stain skin or fabric. A popular treatment for internal and external detoxification, Bentonite Clay absorbs and removes toxins, impurities and odour causing bacteria from the body.

Essential Oils are highly concentrated natural plant compounds extracted from the leaves, flowers, fruits, bark and roots of plants. They are packed with healing benefits. When applied to the skin, the plant compounds are quickly absorbed through skin tissue, rapidly delivering their benefits to the body. Inhaling Essential Oils also stimulate the limbic system, triggering brain responses relating to emotions, behaviour and memory. At Aunty Amy’s each essential oil we use is carefully selected for its specific remedial benefits.
