Check out our fine nine—with their soothing, restorative powers for the needs of melanated skin. ### **Aloe,** _The Green Powerhouse_ __ This green beauty is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and ready to soothe irritated skin.

Found in [Gentle Baby Wash](/content/products/gentle-baby-wash/index.html) and [Gentle Touch Baby Wipes](/content/products/gentle-touch-baby-wipes/index.html). ### **Calendula Flower,** _Flower-Powered_ _Hydration_ As a marigold flower, its beauty shines bright like the sun. As an extract, it is antimicrobial and antioxidant-rich which can help accelerate the healing process, relieving dry, irritated skin by increasing hydration and calming inflamed skin. Calendula has been valued by many cultures for many centuries for its exceptional healing powers and is particularly remarkable in the treatment of wounds.

Grapeseed oil is an antioxidant that is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and rich in vitamin E. This helps skin retain moisture and improve elasticity of irritated or dry skin. ### **Jojoba Oil,** _The MVO (Most Valuable Oil)_ Say it with us now, “huh-hoh-buh!” An antioxidant-rich, antimicrobial, non-comedogenic, and anti-inflammatory premium oil that is both non-greasy (because of its occlusive wax properties) and deeply nourishing. Leveraged in nearly all PROUDLY skin care products because of its ability to impart moisture, Jojoba oil helps to heal irritated skin and protect and balance the skin barrier. Found in [All Over Balm](/content/products/all-over-balm/index.html), [Gentle Baby Wash](/content/products/gentle-baby-wash/index.html), [Hydrating Baby Lotion](/content/products/hydrating-baby-lotion/index.html), and [Nourishing Oil](/content/products/nourishing-oil/index.html). ### **Lavender & Chamomile,** _The Dynamic Duo_ Deep breath—woo-sah. This plant-based dynamic duo is known and loved for its natural fragrance and calming properties. Lavender oil is antimicrobial with a relaxing, floral aroma valued for both its soothing and healing properties. Chamomile is considered an invaluable medicinal herb throughout history. It is anti-inflammatory with a warm, sweet scent. Found in [Calming Spray](/content/products/calming-spray/index.html), [Gentle Baby Wash](/content/products/gentle-baby-wash/index.html), and [Hydrating Baby Lotion](/content/products/hydrating-baby-lotion/index.html). ### **Mango Butter,** _The Skin Barrier Butter_ M-A-N-G-O!

Found in [All Over Balm](/content/products/all-over-balm/index.html). ### **Rosehip Oil,** _Restore & Renew_ Keep skin glowing with the fruit of the rose plant.

Found in [Nourishing Oil](/content/products/nourishing-oil/index.html) and [Soothing Diaper Cream](/content/products/soothing-diaper-cream/index.html). ### **Shea Butter,** _The GOAT_ We know it needs no introduction.

It’s a thick, fatty plant butter that is super hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant-rich, leaving dry, irritated skin soothed, soft, and supple. Found in [Hydrating Baby Lotion](/content/products/hydrating-baby-lotion/index.html) and [Soft & Absorbent Diapers](/content/products/soft-and-absorbent-diapers/index.html). ### **Sunflower Seed Oil,** _The Skin Conditioner_ Like a glass of golden hydration for thirsty skin.
