It holds essential moisture in. It has significant levels of vitamins A and E, which means it promotes strong antioxidant activity. Shea butter is also wonderful at fighting skin infections caused by fungi. Sounds disgusting but your armpits are damp and dark, making the perfect environment for this type of bacteria to grow. Shea’s anti-inflammatory properties help soothe skin and relieve itching - making it a perfect choice for sensitive skin types Mango Butter Mango Butter contains several vitamins that are known to benefit the skin. It is especially beneficial for moisturising dry skin. Mangoes are packed with fibre, vitamins and minerals as well as potassium, calcium and folate. These are all skin-improving powers so it makes sense to use mango butter in skincare. We love Mango butter here and use it in our body butter too.

Coconut oil is wonderfully mild and perfect for cleansing and helping to keep moisture locked in. Jojoba Oil Jojoba Oils properties aren't too dissimilar from the natural oils your skin produces. This helps to provide hydrating moisture that doesn't feel like a thick layer left on the skin. It works in tandem with the natural oils your skin produces. Jojoba oil is naturally an antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal substance, and this makes it ideal for use on the skin under the arms.

This is the layer of skin where sweat glands, pores and hair follicles are contained.
