Apple blossom lip balm

Apple water

Extracted from ripe, juicy apples, the 100% pure and natural apple water is a great source to providing your skin with essential nutrients, such as trace elements and mineral salts essential for the skin to retain its beauty and youthfulness. The similarities of fresh fruit waters with human physiological fluids ensure their perfect affinity with the skin when added to cosmetics.
Apple water possesses skin toning and regenerating properties. It helps refresh the skin and improve its vitality, thus helping retain a radiant, youthful appearance.

Lactic acid

Lactic acid is is an alpha hydroxy acid, also known as AHA. AHAs are acids derived from foods, such as various fruit, sugarcane, even sour milk, and in cosmetics they are used to care for the skin regeneration, softness and a healthy appearance.
The main function of AHAs is to accelerate natural skin regeneration processes by promoting the cell replacement. Added to products such as cleansers, lotions and peels, lactic acid helps the skin to slough off its old cells, thus improving skin’s texture and revealing a glowing, healthy and youthful skin hidden underneath.

Shea butter

Shea butter is one of the most beneficial botanical butters found in nature. This butter, also called the African gold, is obtained from the fruit of the shea tree (lat. – Vitellaria paradoxa). African women have used this valuable butter in their skincare routines already since the times of Cleopatra and here it is still a valuable cosmetic for body moisturising, skin and hair protection from the burning sun and hot, dry winds of the African deserts and savannahs.
Shea butter is a wonderful moisturiser and a skin-softening agent that regenerates the skin and prevents it from premature aging. It deeply penetrates into the skin providing a long-lasting nourishment and protection, leaving you with a velvety-feeling skin.
Due to the highly valuable properties, we’ve generously added this butter to a number of our skincare and body treatment products, as well as lip and hair care cosmetics. STENDERS uses only pure, 100% natural shea butter which has travelled from an African village to one of the leading Swedish laboratories, finally arriving at the hands of STENDERS specialists. Using a special technology, we have carefully treated the butter to make it easy to use both in its pure form and as a valuable ingredient in our cosmetics.
