Wild Chestnut

Also known as the Horse Chestnut, or as we call it, the conker! In Skincare, Horse Chestnut is soothing, conditioning and toning, and has been compared to Vitamin E in its ability to provide antioxidant benefits to the skin. It also contains a family of compounds called aescin, made from the glycosides of saponins. Aescin is known to help prevent the breakdown of hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Shea Butter

A key ingredient for a healthy-looking complexion. Shea Butter soothes, deeply nourishes and conditions the skin’s surface. Rich in fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic to help target and calm dry, damaged skin and is also rich in vitamins which provide antioxidant benefits.

Vitamin E

This powerful ingredient shouldn’t be overlooked. Vitamin E helps to keep skin smooth, bright and healthy-looking. Vitamin E provides significant antioxidant properties to help purify the skin of free radicals and minimise ageing effects caused by the environment.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a necessary component of healthy skin; it occurs naturally in the body and is an unsung hero when it comes to skincare. SBC’s Glycerin is a vegan-friendly humectant, which means it can draw in and retain moisture from the air around us. Suitable for all skin types, it serves to help strengthen the moisture barrier, keeping it soft and supple.
