We work hard to find and use the best ingredients possible. The bulk of our ingredients [over 95% by weight] are sourced domestically as close to home as possible, and all are natural. We choose ingredients based not only on its area of origin, but its process of manufacture.
We choose materials that have been either expeller/cold pressed [the base oils] or steam distilled [the essential oils], avoiding substances that have been solvent extracted whenever possible. Only one ingredient in our product [the capsaicin] has been solvent extracted as we haven't found it otherwise [yet].
We make the calendula extract ourselves from dried calendula flowers, and put the whole thing together in small batches right here in Oregon.
Here's the current run-down on the origin of our ingredients:
| Safflower Oil | USA |
| Beeswax | Oregon |
| Avocado Butter | California |
| Calendula Flowers | Oregon |
| Capsaicin Oleoresin | USA |
