Anacardium Occidentale Linn. (Cashew Nut Oil Extract)

The  Cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree on which cashew nuts and cashew apples grow. Officially classified as Anacardium occidentale, it can grow up to 14 meters tall. The cashew nut is the seed of the tree and is used as a snack or for cooking. The cashew apple is the fruit whose pulp is made into a sweet, tart fruit drink or distilled into a liqueur.

The shell and other parts of the tree are used in a variety of applications. For example, in of lubricants or paints. But it is traditionally also a natural remedy for snake bites and other ailments. Originally from north-eastern Brazil, the tree is now grown in all tropical regions, from Vietnam and Nigeria, which are the main producers, to the Philippines, Ivory Coast, and Indonesia.

 

Ficus Carica (Fig Extract)

This natural extract is rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, which protects the cells from free radicals. It is also a wonderful exfoliant for refreshing and smoothing skin. Fig Extract works with the neuropeptides to break down fat cells and boosts cell metabolism for a faster healing process.

Chelidonium majus (Celandine Extract)

Celandine (Chelidonium majus) comes from the poppy family. Celandine extract has an antiviral and antibacterial effect. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. In folk medicine, the juice of the plant is used for skin diseases such as warts. The juices and the ointment can be irritating, which can lead to burning when applied.

Citrus Limon (Lemon Extract)

The lemon is the fruit of the lemon tree and is grown for consumption as well as material for industrial processing. The lemon and other citrus fruits are known for their high vitamin C content. The fruits, leaves and flowers also contain ingredients that have a disinfecting,  fragrant and refreshing,  firming, hemostatic and  circulation-promoting effect. Because of these unique qualities, they are indispensable for the food and cosmetics industries, as well as for the detergent and healthcare industries.

Demineralized Water

Demineralized water is water without the minerals found in normal spring or tap water. LeaLea uses it to achieve the optimal consistency for the cream so that it can be applied more easily to the application area.

Talcum

Talcum is a mineral often called talcum powder. The mineral is water repellent and feels soapy or greasy, which is why it is often referred to as soapstone.      

As a result, talcum can be used in powdered form as a lubricant with a low abrasive effect and water-repellent or sealing properties.
