Tea tree oil comes from a small tree in Australasia called the Tea Tree! Rumor has it that Captain Cook named the tree, as he used the bark to make a brew for his crew to stop them getting scurvy! Aboriginal tribes have been using tea tree oil medicinally for many years.

Vanilla

Vanilla beans come from the vanilla orchid, which can be found in Madagascar and Indonesia. Each plant is pollinated by hand! We currently use several different variations of vanilla: vanilla water, vanilla absolute, vanilla extract, vanilla pods, vanilla pod infusion, vanilla powder and vanilla pod powder! The vanilla pods we use come from South America and the West Indies. A lot of the vanilla we use is Fairtrade, for example in creamy candy bubble bar and butter ball bath ballistic, and comes from Uganda. Vanilla is incredibly expensive, and is the second most expensive spice after saffron!

What does it do?

- Vanilla has a lovely, sweet aroma.

- Vanillin, the main source of vanillas scent, is said to be an antioxidant.

- The sugars in vanilla act as a humectant; creating a barrier and keeping moisture in the skin.

- Vanilla is a luxury ingredient. A true pampering treat!

Witch Hazel

Common witch hazel is native to North America, and produces vivid yellow flowers. It is said to have leaves that are similar to the hazel plant, which is where the plant may have got it's name. To extract the witch hazel, the bark and twigs of the plant are dried and then steamed.

What does it do?

- Witch hazel is antibacterial, protecting against bacteria. Good news for Grease Lightning, bad news for spots!

- Witch hazel is anti-inflammatory, helping to prevent irritation on sensitive or red skin.
