The Body Shop® difference: Our melon seed oil is sourced from our Community Trade partner, the Eudafano Women’s Cooperative, in Namibia. Some 5,000 women from 12 rural communities receive a fair price for the oil, which means they can pay medical bills and send their children to school. The business is owned and run by women who are directly involved in collecting and processing the oil. This is quite unusual in Namibia, where men are historically the wage earners. Now the women have an income that they control!
Shea butter
Moisturizes and helps soften the skin. Also provides a rural community of women with regular work and income.
Organic beeswax
Moisturizes and helps to condition dry skin, especially on your lips and around the fingernail beds. Acts as a barrier that helps to seal in moisture. Helps to keep product texture consistent when used over time. Plays a part in protecting and preserving the forest as well as providing necessary income for the beekeepers, an increasing number of which are now women.
Passion Fruit
Passion fruit is native to Southern Brazil. It's a small, round, dark purple fruit with as many as 250 seeds inside. That's where the magic lies; the seeds are pressed to produce incredibly moisturizing and fragrant oil.
