Plant Extracts & Superfood Oils

Plant based ingredients and superfood oils form the foundation of natural skincare. Kind Melts uses these wonderful ingredients to create gentle and effective skincare. Plant Extracts: Plant extracts are from various parts of plants such as leaves, flowers and roots. They are rich in antioxidants and vitamins and have benefits to the skin. For example aloe vera is known to be soothing and green tea is rich in antioxidants. Superfood Oils:Superfood skincare is formulated with ingredients that come from nutrient rich natural foods. Superfood oils can contain antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and anti-inflammatories. These natural ingredients have wonderful benefits to your skin from boosting collagen production, hydrating the skin to soothing and calming redness. You may have noticed our skincare oils contain up-cycled fruit seed oils. The food industry discards the seeds from fruits and vegetables when making products like juices and jams. Instead of these going to waste the seeds are pressed and the nutrient rich oils are extracted.

Kind Melts also uses other beneficial ingredients to create our natural skincare products. These include botanical powders, clays and butters, each carefully chosen for its skin benefits. Botanical powders: These are finely ground from plants and can be used for gentle exfoliation, absorb excess oils and provide nutrients to the skin.

Using clay on the skin regularly can help to detox and draw out impurities, unclog pores, hydrate and improve your skin’s texture and tone. Natural Butters: Nourishing butters are derived from plants like shea and cocoa. They are rich in fatty acids and emollients that deeply moisturise and protect the skin.
