BOTANICAL NAME: Prunus (the Latin name for Plum Tree) amygdalus (from names of the parents) dulcis
EXTRACTION: Cold pressed
DESCRIPTION: The Almond tree is native to the Mediterranean climate region of the Middle East, Indian subcontinent and North America. The Almond tree is believed to have been one of the earliest domesticated fruit trees, dating back as early as 3,000 BC. Nestled in the tree’s green, fuzzy, apricot-like fruit is the almond nut. When pressed, the almond produces a golden, slightly viscous liquid with a mild marzipan scent. It boasts a host of healing properties as it contains healthy fats, fiber, phytochemicals, vitamins and minerals. Due to its high oleic acid content, this allows the oil to penetrate deeper into skin, providing greater nourishment and better results when used.
KEY COMPONENTS: Oleic acid, linoleic acid, squalane, tocopherol, and phytosterols (sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol)
FOUND IN: Eyewaken Eye Cream, Magic Bean Body Lotion, Petal Purity Facial Cleanser, Petal Purity Exfoliating Facial Cleanser, Coffee Scrub Bar Soap, Lavandin Bar Soap, May Chang Bar Soap, Peppermint Bar Soap, Patchouli Bar Soap, Skin Care Starter Kit for Normal to Dry Skin
Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is a powerful skincare oil, renowned for its unique blend of essential fatty acids that work together to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin. Rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and linolenic acid (omega-3), it helps restore the skin’s moisture barrier, making it highly effective for dry, dehydrated, or damaged skin. The presence of vitamin E provides strong antioxidant protection, shielding the skin from environmental stress and promoting healing and regeneration. Carotenoids, including beta-carotene, further enhance its antioxidant properties, helping to brighten the complexion, improve elasticity, and protect against free radicals. The phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, contribute to reducing inflammation, calming irritated skin, and improving moisture retention. These components, combined with the natural vitamin A derivatives, make rosehip oil an exceptional solution for reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation while promoting a smooth, radiant, and youthful complexion.
BOTANICAL NAME: Rosa canina (of dogs: Dog Rose)
EXTRACTION: Cold pressed
DESCRIPTION: Rosehip oil is pressed from the seeds of the rose fruit, also referred to as "hips." The rose hips harvested for Cocoon products are from the rosa canina species which is native to Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Rosehip oil has been used for centuries to sooth skin, and it is thought that its use dates back to Ancient Egypt. Rosehip oil is obtained through cold pressing and is rich in essential fatty acids including omega 3 - alpha linolenic acid. These fatty acids are anti-inflammatory and help to carry nutrients deep into layers of the dermis. This oil has a high carotenoid content which protects the skin, and also contains tretinoin which is an anti-aging, regenerative bioactive that is suitable for acne as well as diminishes fine wrinkles. The oil is pale yellow to deep golden in colour and and has a light vegetable aroma.
KEY COMPONENTS: Linolenic acid, linoleic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, phytosterols.
FOUND IN: Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream, Rosehip Oil, Skin Care Starter Kit for Normal to Dry Skin
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.

These are my preferred products for daily skincare use. I have the larger bottles for home but when I travel I get these smaller ones so I can stay consistent with my routine. They’re the perfect size and last for multiple week-long trips. Definitely recommend.
CanadaGreat for travelling
I love the Cocoon products, but it's hard to pack the regular-sized products when travelling. I'm always worried the pump will be accidentally squished down. These little guys are perfect.
