At Barossa Body, we’re all about creating clean, natural skincare products that are gentle, yet effective. We believe that everyone, at every age deserves healthy, glowing skin. We use natural ingredients in harmony with your skin, delivering results without harsh chemicals or synthetic additives. And by using nature, we harness the benefits of natural vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients that promote radiant, healthy skin.
In this post, we’ll explore five powerful natural ingredients that we use in our products to support youthful, hydrated and resilient skin, and how our Body Butter and Sugar Scrub bring these benefits to life.
1. Kakadu Plum
A native Australian superfood, Kakadu plum is one of the world’s richest natural sources of Vitamin C. So what does this mean for your skin? Vitamin C boosts collagen production to help keep your skin firm and avoid sagging. It can help lighten dark patches on your skin, while also promoting healing. Kakadu plum is essential for keeping your skin looking vibrant and protecting against environmental damage.
2. Wattleseed
Wattleseed is another native Australian plant powerhouse. It is ideal for maintaining smooth, healthy skin at any age. Our delicious smelling Kakadu Plum, Wattleseed and Lemon Myrtle Sugar Scrub sloughs away dead skin cells and encourages absorption to help your skin soak up the hydrating benefits of our body butter. Plus, wattleseed is packed with antioxidants and helps fight ageing skin.
3. Lemon Myrtle
Lemon myrtle does more than just add a lovely scent to our products. This fragrant Australian botanical is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and rejuvenating properties. Its invigorating citrus aroma wakes your senses, while its natural benefits leave your skin looking and feeling refreshed. Lemon myrtle supports your skin by reducing inflammation and calming redness.
4. Sweet Almond Oil
A core ingredient in our sugar scrub, sweet almond oil is rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, helping to replenish your skin’s natural moisture barrier. If you have dry skin or you want to maintain skin elasticity, this ingredient is key. And because it’s light, sweet almond oil nourishes your skin without feeling heavy or greasy, leaving you with soft, supple skin, no matter your age.
5. Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is famous for its calming benefits, not just for our minds, but also for our skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce and soothe skin irritation. Rich in antioxidants, lavender is perfect for those moments when you and your skin need a little TLC. Our Lemon and Lavender Body Butter and Calm Me Down Sugar Scrub pair perfectly, making them perfect for your evening self-care routine after a busy day.
How to use our body butter and sugar scrub
To maintain healthy, smooth skin, we recommend using our body butter and sugar scrub together. Start with the sugar scrub to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, allowing your skin to absorb moisture more effectively. Follow up with body butter to lock in moisture and deeply nourish your skin.
Our body butter is suited to those with sensitive skin conditions like eczema. Its blend of natural ingredients work together to hydrate without causing irritation, helping to soothe, calm and protect your skin, naturally.
