Leatherwood Beeswax (革木蜂蠟)

Leatherwood tree is a unique understory rainforest tree. The precious beeswax and honey are brought raw and unprocessed, which is not chemically bleached, deodorised and pelletised as for commercial skincare.  It made from flower nectar, these uncontaminated, organic gifts from nature have been produced by bees for over 220 million years, and used by man for millennia for their powerful healing properties. Containing many useful trace elements, both are valued in skincare for their natural wound healing, soothing, emollient, softening, protective and moisturising qualities, nourishing and gently ‘polishing’ the skin. The colour and aroma of the products – like fine wine – directly reflects the varying seasons of the year and resultant differences in the wax and honey. Honey is increasingly being recognised as a potent wound healer with research under way world wide.

革木樹（Leatherwood Tree）是澳洲塔斯曼尼亞獨有的一種野生植物。由蜜蜂採集革木花蜂蜜之蜂巢提練而成的革木蜂蠟更是塔斯曼尼亞獨特的特產。

 

Glycerin & Olive Oil (甘油 與 橄欖油)

Glycerol belongs to alcohols rather than oils, substances that are closer to alcohol, so it can be mixed with water. Glycerol can be natural ingredients, also contains rich moisturizing effect, slightly diluted glycerol can applied to the skin, the water can be left in the stratum corneum, and to prevent cracked of the cosmetic products. Therefore It is widely used in a variety of cosmetics. Another reason of widely use of Glycerin is because of cheap, so it's often used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Olive oil and glycerin both have main effect of moisturizing, but the only role of glycerin is moisturizing. the saddest thing is , glycerin in the dry climate where glycerol can not play a moisturizing effect, also will absorb the skin moisture, skin will become more dry and dry. The multi effect of olive oil not only can moisturizing, it also can anti-oxidation, whitening effect as well. you definitely will choose olive oil after the above comparison. 

If you think glycerol is too sticky, Vaseline is too greasy, then you may wish to try olive oil.

甘油屬於醇類而不是油，比較接近酒精的物質，因此，它可以和水混合。甘油可以是天然成分、亦含有豐富保濕效果，弱適度稀釋的甘油塗於皮膚時，可將水分留在角質層，並有防止化妝品乾裂之功能﹐故廣為使用於各種化妝品中。另因價格便宜，所以常被用在食品、化妝品和藥品當中。

Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is unique in that, unlike most other vegetable oils, it closely resembles sebum, a waxy substance produced by our skin glands, so it can act as a natural skin conditioner. It has nearly replaced animal fats in the manufacture of skin lotions and creams. As a matter of fact, this oil rode into popularity on the back of the opposition to whale oil which was the traditional base of many cosmetic preparations earlier.

Jojoba oil has a slight nutty smell and clear golden colour in the raw form, but the refined oil is completely odorless, negating the need for any perfuming agents when used for cosmetic and healing purposes. At the same time, it is a good carrier oil for several essential oils.
