Recently, there has been a notable increase in consumer awareness of the ingredients used in skincare products. As people select items for their routines, they may often prioritise specific components based on their skincare goals and ethical concerns. For instance, some consumers might look for products that primarily provide moisture, others might choose cruelty-free skincare options. Most commonly, we are seeing a trend towards choosing natural ingredients, as customers increasingly select skincare items made from organic, eco friendly blends.

One of the standout benefits of using natural ingredients in skincare is their compatibility with sensitive skin. Synthetic chemicals and harsh additives can cause irritation and reactions in some sensitive skin types. Whereas alternative organic components are generally more gentle and less likely to provoke sensitivity, making them a preferred choice for those with delicate skin.

Shea butter is a prime example of a natural ingredient that offers multiple benefits for the skin. Known for its moisturising and healing properties, shea butter is an excellent choice for body butter formulations, hence why at Di Palomo we have prioritised blending Shea Butter into our Body Butter formula. Rich in vitamins and moisturising properties, shea butter nourishes and protects the skin, locking in moisture without clogging pores.

When designing our latest collection, Tuscan Dreams, we looked into the calming natural ingredients lavender and chamomile due to their well-documented benefits. Lavender is not just known for its calming and soothing aroma; it also offers antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions.

Chamomile is another ingredient renowned for its soothing effects. It is particularly beneficial for skincare because of its antioxidant qualities, helping to protect the skin from environmental damage. Chamomile’s anti-inflammatory properties help calm skin irritation, making it a fantastic ingredient for soothing more sensitive skin. Our most recent "Tuscan Dreams" collection embraces these key ingredients, focusing on the natural benefits they bring to our products. By incorporating lavender and chamomile, the collection aims not only to improve skin health but also to provide a relaxing experience that promotes overall well-being.
