Argan Oil is made from kernels found inside the fruit of argan trees, which are native to Morocco. Argan oil is full of fatty acids and antioxidants that benefit skin and hair. It is also rich in vitamins A and E, which helps prevent dryness, wrinkles, skin inflammation, reduce frizziness and boost shine. Argan oil also has healing properties known to treat acne, prevent skin infections, and soothe atopic dermatitis.

Avocado Oil is a heavy, thick oil made from the avocado fruit. Avocado oil is high in oleic acid, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents to help skin stay smooth, strong, and elastic. It is rich in biotin, vitamins A, B-5, and E, which promote hair health and stimulate age fighting collagen.

Castor Oil is derived from the seeds of the castor plant, which is native to India. Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid linked to changes in PGD2, which can shrink hair follicles, and PGE2, which is an anti-inflammatory that makes hair denser. Castor oil's moisturizing and nourishing properties help reduce inflammation, stimulate hair follicles, improve blood flow, and make hair shiny. We use all-natural, cold pressed, hexane-free castor oil in our NuYu Products.

D-Alpha Tocopherol (Pure Vitamin E Oil) is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of plants. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E help reduce damage to skin caused by free radicals from UV exposure. Vitamin E oil can treat damaged hair by replacing the lost protective fat layer on the outside of the hair's cuticle, bringing back shine to dull, frizzy, unmanageable hair. The powerful antioxidants in vitamin E also affect blood circulation, which makes a noticeable difference in the firmness and structure of skin and overall hair health. 

Jojoba Oil is an oil-like wax extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant, which is native to North America and Mexico. Jojoba oil is incredibly versatile with numerous healing properties, which makes it the ultimate carrier oil. It also has powerful moisturizing properties, is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, antibacterial, and is an antioxidant. Jojoba oil is rich in vitamins B, C, E, copper, and zinc, which are vitamins and minerals that nourish hair.

Rice Bran Oil is extracted from the outer coat of the brown rice grain removed during the milling process. It is rich in vitamins A, B12, and E, omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids, and antioxidants such as gamma oryzanol, beta-carotene, CoQ10, and lycopene, that can shield skin from environmental and internal stressors. Rice bran oil is known to moisturize hair, prevent dandruff and reduce the appearance of split ends.

Rosehip Oil is pressed from the fruit and seeds of the rose plant. Rosehip oil contains healthy fatty acids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatories. It is rich in vitamin A ,C, and E. Certain properties in rosehip oil may help treat skin conditions, acne, wrinkles, and increase hair strength.

Sunflower oil contains oleic and linoleic acids, sesamol, and vitamin E, providing benefits for both skin and hair health. It is non-comedogenic, which is highly absorbent and will not clog pores.

Sweet Almond Oil is made from the kernels of sweet almonds. Sweet almond oil is an emollient, meaning it can fill gaps in hair at a cellular level. It is rich in proteins, omega-9 fatty acids, and vitamin E, which can improve the strength and shine of hair. Sweet almond gives hair a softer texture over time, making it feel smoother to the touch. 

Shea butter is fat that is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which is native to West Africa. The shea tree is also known as the 'karite tree' (meaning tree of life) because of its many healing properties. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E, and essential fatty acids. It is an emollient with healing properties for skin and moisturizing properties for hair. Shea butter's fatty acid content increases shine, reduces frizz, and protects hair from heat damage caused by blow drying. We use sustainably sourced, non-GMO, gluten-free, 100% Natural Shea Butter in our NuYu Products.

Beeswax is a product made from the honeycomb of the honeybee and other bees. It is rich in vitamin A, which helps to moisturize hair and the overall formula of the beeswax locks in that moisture. Beeswax helps smooth flyaway strands, straighten hair, and keeps styles intact. Studies show that beeswax can also promote hair growth. We use ultra-refined, 100% Pure Beeswax in our NuYu Products.

Essential Oils are aromatic, concentrated plant extracts. The compounds that produce fragrance are obtained through steam distillation, cold pressing, or resin tapping. Once the oils have been extracted, they are combined with a carrier oil to create the end product. They are often used as a natural scent in high-quality natural products. Natural Fragrance Oils are plant-based aromatics that are produced using pure essential oils and aromatic isolates derived solely from natural, raw botanical sources. We use only the finest 100% Natural Essential Oils and Fragrance Oil Blends in our NuYu Products.
