Ingredients
Water, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Emulsifying Wax NF, fair-trade Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Stearic Acid, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Leuconostoc/ Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Lactobacillus and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Oil, and Essential Oil (EO) or Fragrance Oil (FR) [scent options note if EO or FR is used]
