✨ My Top 10 Natural Ingredients for Glowing Skin

We all want that healthy, radiant glow — not the kind that comes from filters, but from real nourishment. At Arashel, every balm, soap, serum and soak is handmade with skin-loving ingredients chosen for their purity and purpose. No fillers, no nasties — just wholesome goodness from nature.

Here are my Top 10 Natural Ingredients I rely on to help your skin feel soft, calm, and glowing — inside and out:

1. 🥩 Tallow

Yes, tallow! This old-school wonder is making a comeback — and for good reason. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow closely mimics our skin’s natural oils. It’s incredibly nourishing, deeply moisturizing, and ideal for dry, sensitive or damaged skin. It’s the star of our tallow balms and lotions.

2. 🥥 Coconut Oil

A natural multitasker, coconut oil is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and deeply hydrating. It helps protect the skin barrier and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. You’ll find it in many of our soap and balm recipes.

3. 💧 Glycerine

Vegetable glycerine draws moisture into the skin, keeping it soft and supple. It’s especially helpful in our handmade glycerine soaps, creating a gentle cleanse that won’t strip your skin.

4. 🌿 Aloe Vera

Soothing and cooling, aloe vera is packed with antioxidants and vitamins. It calms irritation, promotes healing, and is a go-to for sun-kissed or sensitive skin. Look for it in our light, hydrating skincare formulas.

5. 🌰 Shea Butter

This rich butter is a dream for dry or mature skin. Full of fatty acids and nutrients, shea butter softens, heals, and helps improve elasticity. It also gives our balms that luxurious, velvety finish.

6. 🌸 Essential Oils

Every essential oil I use is chosen with purpose — not just for scent. Lavender calms, tea tree purifies, sweet orange uplifts, and chamomile soothes. These oils offer emotional and physical benefits in every blend.

7. 🧂 Magnesium

Magnesium is essential for overall health — including your skin. Absorbed through the skin, it helps ease tension, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification. You’ll find it in our magnesium tallow balm and bath soaks.

8. ✨ Vitamin E

A natural preservative and antioxidant, Vitamin E protects your skin from free radicals and supports healing. It’s a skin-loving booster I include in many of our balms and serums.

9. 🌱 Castor Oil

Thick and nourishing, castor oil is fantastic for hydration and repair. It also promotes lash and brow growth! This oil helps give body to our balms while delivering deep moisture.

10. 🌹 Rose Water

Gentle and balancing, rose water tones and refreshes. It's calming for sensitive skin and adds a subtle floral scent to our face mists and creams. It’s a delicate touch with powerful benefits.

💛 Nature Has It All

These ingredients are the heart of Arashel — clean, honest, and beautifully effective. I believe in simple formulations with powerful results. When you treat your skin with nature’s best, your natural glow shines through.
