Skin Benefits of Simply Rustic's Ingredients

Simply-Seven Ingredients or Less; Rustic-Raw, Unrefined, Handmade, Natural is Simply Rustic's "motto".
Simply Rustic's ingredients are unrefined, wildcrafted and/or organic.  The products are 100% natural because no water is used so there is not a need for synthetic preservatives.  Simply Rustic's products are made in small batches from scratch, not a do-it-yourself kit.   
Pumpkin Spice Body Scrub

Body Scrubs are full of natural exfoliating ingredients with a little unrefined oils and butters, so you get the benefit of exfoliation first but leaves your skin nice and moisturized when you are done.


Body Butter

Body Butters are concentrated and little goes a long way.
100% pure and natural essential oils are used to scent body butters and scrubs - for those that are scented.  I also have done extensive research on essential oils and only use the ones that are considered safe for all skin types - even during pregnancy.


Below are some of the ingredients Simply Rustic uses in its products.  

What are some benefits of Shea Butter?
Shea Butter is naturally rich in Vitamins A, E, and F, as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals. Vitamins A and E help to soothe, hydrate and balance the skin. Vitamin F contains essential fatty acids and helps protect and revitalize damage skin and hair.  Shea Butter absorbs quickly.  It is also beneficial for the treatment of many different conditions, such as:
· Dry Skin
· Stretch Marks
· Itchy Skin, Skin Rashes, Eczema and Dermatitis
· Sunburn
· Small Skin Wounds and Damaged/Rough Skin
· Insect Bites/Skin Allergies
· Muscle Aches, Fatigue and Tension
· Wrinkles and Signs of Aging
· Diaper Rash
What are some skin benefits of Pumpkin Seed Oil?
Pumpkin Seed Oil is known as "green gold". Pumpkin Seed Oil is one of the most nutritious oils available. It contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, E, and Zinc and minerals phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and calcium. Pumpkin Seed Oil posses high levels of natural antioxidants. Antioxidants protect cell structure and health by neutralizing “free radicals”, which are unstable molecules generated from sources like radiation and air pollution. Left unchecked, free radicals can attack the skin’s structure, leaving it vulnerable to wrinkling, infection and other damage.
Pumpkin Seed Oil may help with minor skin irritations, such as redness and acne. Because of its anti aging properties, Pumpkin Seed Oil can help the skin retain moisture, maintain normal cell structure and keep your skin looking and feeling healthy.
Pumpkin Seed Oil does not smell like pumpkins. :-) It is a very green oil (unrefined version) that has a slight nutty aroma.
What are some skin benefits of Castor Oil?
Castor oil, which is derived from the castor bean plant, is valuable because of its myriad uses. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which delivers anti-inflammatory benefits to the skin. It provides treatment for minor cuts, burns, abrasions, sunburn and prevents skin disorders such as acne and eczema. Aside from these, one of the benefits of castor oil is in skin conditioning. It serves as a natural emollient, which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin that hydrates and moisturizes the skin. It treats wrinkles, repairing and rejuvenating the skin to make it look flawless and smoother. When applied regularly, castor oil also helps diminish dark circles under your eyes.
Castor Oil is also a cleansing oil and can be found in the Body Scrubs. When using the Body Scrubs, you really don't need to use a body wash or a mositurizer afterwards because the Castor Oil will cleanse your skin, while the salts and sugars exfoliate and the shea butter or mango butter will moisturize.
A new product is in the works that will use Castor Oil
What are the skin benefits of Red Raspberry Seed Oil?
Red Raspberry Seed Oil is cold pressed virgin oil and contains a high 83% of Essential Fatty Acids or EFA's, the most abundant of which are linoleic, alpha linolenic and oleic acids. The composition of these Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids has been shown to reduce the effects of oxidative stress in skin.
Red Raspberry Seed Oil is an excellent free radical scavenger and antioxidant, and a rich source of alpha and gamma tocopherol as well as y-tocopherol, along with carotenoides (Vitamin A). With a reported use for the prevention of rash, eczema and other skin lesions, it also has superior anti-inflammatory properties as compared to other well-known oils such as virgin avocado oil, grapeseed oil, hazelnut oil and wheat germ oil (Oomah, et al 2000).
Notably, the Oomah study indicates red raspberry seed oil may act as a broad-spectrum UV-A and UV-B shield.
What are some skin benefits of Green Tea?
Green tea contains a cocktail of potent antioxidants called catechins, which help fight damage caused by free radicals. In several scientific studies, green tea extract was shown to neutralize the damage done by exposure to UV rays. Green tea’s antioxidant effects may help prevent skin cancer. Green tea also has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. If your skin is very sensitive and often red, products containing green tea extract may help soothe it. In addition, green tea catechins are anti-bacterial and can decrease hormone activity. Which means green tea can be an effective way to control acne, without the unpleasant side effects of benzoyl peroxide-based creams.
What are skin benefits of Cranberry Seed Oil?
Cranberry Seed Oil is relatively new to the skin care industry but has received a lot recognition for its unique natural balance of Omega 3, 6 & 9 not found in any other oil and high content of natural antioxidants. This exceptional oil aids in the absorption and utilization of essential fatty acids in the skin and is said to moisturize the skin like no other oil.
Cranberry Seed Oil is rich in tocotrienols and tocopherols which are the two groups of molecules that make up Vitamin E. Studies have found that this oil contains the highest amount of tocotrienols than that found in any other vegetable oil. Tocotrienols have also been found to effectively protect the harmful effects of sunlight. It is also rich in Vitamin A.
Because Cranberry Seed Oil penetrates the skin easily, it is highly nourishing and moisturizing choice, leaving a light, non-greasy feeling.

If you’re suffering from itchy, irritated skin, Cranberry Seed Oil is a great remedy. It also helps relieve blemish complexions.

What are the skin benefits of Grape Seed Oil?
Grapeseed oil is pressed from the pips of grapes, as a by-product of wine-making. Grapeseed oil is extremely high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it light-textured and easy for the skin to absorb. It also has skin-softening properties. Grapeseed oil leaves no residue and creates a smooth finish. Grapeseed oil softens normal, oily and combination skins.
Grapeseed oil is safe for all skin types and is often used as a safe carrier oil for those people who suffer from nut allergies.

Pomegranate seed oil is an extremely rich and nutritious oil. Pomegranate seed extract and juice have been popular lately for their anti-oxidant properties, and pomegranate seed oil is proving to be even more beneficial. Not only does pomegranate seed oil contain high levels of anti-oxidants that fight free radicals and skin aging, but the oil is also a potent source of punicic and ellagic acids. Because of these properties, pomegranate seed oil is used to heal, protect, and moisturize dry, cracked, mature, and irritated skin, bring elasticity back to the skin, and for eczema and other skin problems.
