Candelilla Wax
Candelilla wax is a vegetable wax derived from the leaves of the candelilla shrub, which is native to northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. It has been used for centuries in a variety of applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and candles.
In skin care products, candelilla wax is known for its moisturizing and protective properties. It creates a barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and prevent dehydration. This makes it an ideal ingredient in moisturizers, lip balms, and other emollient products.
Candelilla wax is also a natural humectant, meaning it helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. This can help to plump up dry, dehydrated skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Another benefit of candelilla wax is its anti-inflammatory properties. It contains compounds that can help to reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin. This makes it a great ingredient for sensitive skin types or for those with conditions like eczema or rosacea.
Finally, candelilla wax is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause acne breakouts. This makes it a great ingredient for acne-prone skin, as it can help to moisturize without causing further breakouts.
Overall, candelilla wax is a versatile and beneficial ingredient in skin care products. Its moisturizing, protective, and anti-inflammatory properties make it an ideal choice for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
BOTANICAL NAME: Euphorbia (after Euphorbus, physician to Juba, king of Mauritania) cerifera
EXTRACTION: Boiling
DESCRIPTION: The Candelilla (Euphorbia cerifera) is a shrub native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. It’s small, a yellow-brown colour, and aromatic. Traditionally, candelilla wax was used to make candles beginning in the 20th century. With the coming of World War I, demand increased as this wax was used for waterproofing equipment. This wax acts as an excellent emulsifier which prevents oil and water from separating to maintain proper consistency. It has an abundance of nutrients and is an excellent barrier to moisture loss. It is a product found in many cosmetics because of its ability to stiffen texture without hardening.
KEY COMPONENTS: Hydrocarbons, sitosteryol esters, lactons
FOUND IN: Pomade - Bay Rum, Pomade - Muskoka, Reflector SPF 30 Facial Sun Protection
Shea Butter
Shea butter is a popular ingredient in skin care products due to its nourishing and moisturizing properties. Derived from the nuts of the shea tree, shea butter is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for dry or damaged skin.
But did you know that shea butter can also provide natural sun protection? While shea butter alone is not enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, it can be used as a complementary ingredient in sunscreens or as a post-sun treatment to soothe and repair sun-damaged skin.
Shea butter contains a high concentration of vitamin E, which has been shown to have some UV-protective effects. Additionally, the fatty acids in shea butter can help to create a barrier on your skin, which can help to prevent moisture loss and protect your skin from environmental stressors, including sun damage.
When used in combination with other natural ingredients such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, shea butter can help to enhance the sun protection provided by a sunscreen. And because shea butter is a natural ingredient, it is gentle on your skin and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
After sun exposure, shea butter can also help to soothe and repair sun-damaged skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and inflammation, while its moisturizing effects can help to prevent peeling and promote faster healing.
Overall, shea butter is an excellent ingredient to include in your skin care routine, especially if you are looking for natural sun protection or after-sun care. Look for products that contain shea butter and other natural ingredients for the best results.
BOTANICAL NAME: Butyrospermum parkii
EXTRACTION: Mechanical extraction
DESCRIPTION: The Shea tree, or the Vitellaria paradoxa, is native to the drier parts of west and Central Africa. This tree produces a fruit from which the butter is extracted. This butter has been used since ancient times for sun protection.
KEY COMPONENTS:
- Vitamin E: Shea butter contains high levels of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that can help protect the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV radiation, pollution, and cigarette smoke.
- Vitamin A: Shea butter is also rich in vitamin A, another antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radicals and environmental damage.
- Cinnamic acid: Shea butter contains cinnamic acid, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- Oleic acid: Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid that is found in high levels in shea butter. It has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Castor Seed Oil
Castor seed oil, also known as Ricinus communis seed oil, is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the castor plant. It has been used for centuries for its numerous health and beauty benefits, including its powerful skin care properties.
One of the key benefits of castor seed oil is its ability to moisturize the skin. The oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly ricinoleic acid, which is a humectant that helps to retain moisture in the skin. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals with dry, flaky or irritated skin. It can also help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
Castor seed oil also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. This makes it a great option for individuals with acne-prone or sensitive skin. Additionally, the oil contains antioxidants that can help to protect the skin from free radical damage caused by UV rays and environmental pollutants.
Another benefit of castor seed oil is its ability to promote the growth of healthy skin tissue. It contains a unique compound called ricinoleic acid that has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Castor seed oil is also an excellent natural remedy for a variety of skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties can help to soothe and heal irritated skin, while its antimicrobial properties can help to fight off bacteria and fungi that can exacerbate these conditions.
In conclusion, castor seed oil is a powerful and versatile ingredient that can provide a range of skin care benefits. Its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-microbial properties make it an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin.
BOTANICAL NAME: Ricinus (Latin for 'a tick'- the seeds appearance resembles that of ticks) communis (common)
EXTRACTION: Expeller pressed
DESCRIPTION: The castor oil plant is native to the southeastern Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Africa, and India, and is also found in most tropical regions. The castor oil plant was used for medicinal purposes in Ancient Egypt, China, Persia, Africa, Greece and Rome. It was once referred to as “Palma Christe” due to the leaves resemblance to the hands of Christ as well as the plant’s unique healing properties. The seeds, or “beans” of this plant, can be expeller pressed in order to create an oil rich in triglycerides. Castor seed oil is pale in colour and has very little scent. This oil becomes a wax when hydrogenated and is used for various cosmetic purposes.

Pomade
I gave them as gifts but was told it worked well.
Great Products
All great products of high quality. Will be ordering again.
Amazing Pomade.
I bought this pomade to replace a product I bought from Walmart a couple years ago and I will never buy another pomade again. The texture is amazing, the smell is quite honestly delicious lol, and the natural ingredients is exactly what I was searching for in a pomade. Thank you for creating such a great product! Also, thanks for the special gift as well :)
Cocoon Apothecary
We are thrilled that you are in love with the product! Enjoy!!
Good product. Oily... but smells great.
It's a good product that smells very good. The only thing is that the oil is hard to wash (washing hands after applying it for example) and it can be hard on the back of the shirt's collar with long hair.
Good hold!
An Excellent product, and smells amazing! Any chance that you will carry an unscented version? Work environment doesn't allow for use of scented products.. : (
Cocoon Apothecary
Thanks for your feedback! At the moment we don't have plans for an unscented version, but certainly something we will take into consideration!
Smells great
Hold is as promised. Love the scent. Not too overpowering.
Awesome pomade!
Bought both this and the Bay Rum pomade and am not disappointed! The woodsy scent is a big hit with my wife who got headaches from the chemical stuff I used to use before. Highly recommend!
Excellent product
My husband loves this product and this is his third jar..
