Here are the main ingredients:

Wheat Germ Oil - A natural emollient and moisturizer, Wheat Germ is rich in Vitamin E, D and Squalene, and offers great anti-oxidant and natural preservative properties.

Vegetable Glycerin - Glycerin is a natural occuring moisturizer, humectant and emollient. Glycerin on skin actually attracts atmospheric moisture.

Comfrey - A strong vigorous plant rich in vitamins, mineral salts, mucilages (anti-inflammatory substances) and the protein alantoin which encourages cell division. Its beneficial properties were recognised centuries ago – it was used by the Roman military doctor Glancia (180 BC) to heal soldiers’ broken bones and wounds. When applied externally it is very effective for reducing inflammation of the skin caused by bruises, sprains and aching or swollen joints. It also encourages the formation of scabs to protect open wounds from further damage or infection.

Shea Butter - Obtained from the nut of the Mangifolia tree in Central Africa. It’s also called Karite Butter, or African Shea Nut Butter. Shea butter is high in triglycerides and has 5% fatty acids, 8% unsaponifiables, and 7% waxy esters.

Aloe Vera - This clear gel from the aloe plant softens and soothes skin, and has been known to have restorative properties when used topically.

Custom blends of therapeutic-grade essential oils – provide aromatherapy properties.

Please note, while many products contain various combinations of the above, most are chemically processed, thereby removing or substantially reducing the naturally occurring vitamins and other benefial properties of these ingredients. Pharmacopia’s body care line are as close to natural as possible – a small amount of preservative is used in the final formulas to counter bacteria formation. All master ingredients are organic whenever possible.
