What Is Litsea Cubeba?
Litsea cubeba is a small evergreen tree that produces pepper-like fruits used to steam-distill a bright, lemony essential oil. This oil is rich in citral, a compound well-known for its antimicrobial, toning, and mood-lifting qualities. Because of its fresh, sparkling scent, it’s often compared to lemongrass—but gentler and slightly sweeter.
One of the most remarkable things about shea butter is that it’s non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog pores). Whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin, shea butter can help balance your complexion without causing breakouts. It’s also gentle enough for babies, making it a great all-purpose moisturizer for the whole family.
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, natural ingredients have made a strong comeback—often outshining synthetic formulas with their simplicity and effectiveness. One such powerhouse? Organic grass-fed beef tallow.
