Ingredient-by-Ingredient: Evidence-Based Mechanisms

Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii)

Key bioactive components: Oleic acid, stearic acid, triterpene esters (lupeol, amyrins), phytosterols, tocopherols (vitamin E)

Evidence-based mechanisms:

Skin barrier restoration
Shea butter’s lipid profile closely resembles that of human skin. Its fatty acids integrate into the stratum corneum lipid matrix, improving barrier integrity and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which directly increases skin hydration.

Anti-inflammatory activity
Triterpene esters and phytosterols inhibit inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing irritation and barrier disruption associated with dry or sensitive skin.

Support of skin repair
Shea butter promotes keratinocyte migration and supports collagen organization, aiding recovery of dry, damaged, or compromised skin.

Antioxidant protection
Tocopherols and phenolic compounds neutralize free radicals, helping preserve skin lipids and structural proteins.

 

Cocoa Butter (Theobroma cacao)

Key bioactive components: Stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, polyphenolic antioxidants, natural triglycerides

Evidence-based mechanisms

Occlusive moisture retention
Cocoa butter forms a semi-occlusive film on the skin surface that significantly slows water evaporation, maintaining hydration over prolonged periods.

Strengthening of the lipid barrier
Its high saturated-fat content reinforces the outer lipid matrix, improving skin smoothness, flexibility, and resistance to cracking.

Protection from oxidative stress
Cocoa polyphenols reduce oxidative damage to skin lipids and proteins, helping maintain barrier function and skin elasticity.

 

Calendula Oil (Calendula officinalis, infused oil)

Key bioactive components: Triterpenoids (faradiol esters), flavonoids, carotenoids, saponins

Evidence-based mechanisms

Anti-inflammatory effects
Calendula compounds inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX-2) activity and inflammatory cytokine release, reducing redness, swelling, and irritation that can compromise hydration.

Enhanced wound healing and repair
Calendula stimulates fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, accelerating repair of micro-damage in dry or irritated skin.

Mild antimicrobial action
Demonstrates activity against certain bacteria and fungi, helping protect compromised skin from secondary infection.

Antioxidant support
Carotenoids and flavonoids protect healing tissue from oxidative stress during repair.

Chamomile Oil (Matricaria recutita, infused oil)

Key bioactive components: bisabolol, chamazulene, flavonoids (including apigenin)

Evidence-based mechanisms

Potent anti-inflammatory activity
Bisabolol and chamazulene suppress histamine release and prostaglandin synthesis, reducing inflammation, redness, and itching associated with dry or sensitive skin.

Soothing and anti-pruritic (anti-itching) effects
Chamomile calms nerve-mediated itching and discomfort, reducing scratching behaviors that can further damage the skin barrier.

Antioxidant protection
Flavonoids neutralize free radicals, supporting skin repair and resilience.

Support for sensitive skin conditions
Chamomile has demonstrated effectiveness comparable to mild topical corticosteroids in reducing symptoms of dermatitis, without steroid-associated risks.
