The Best Natural Ingredients for Dry Skin

Dry skin can be uncomfortable, flaky, and frustrating — especially in Arizona's dry heat. The good news is that nature has already given us some of the best tools to fix it. Here are the natural ingredients we reach for again and again when making our soaps and body butters.

Shea Butter

A rich, fatty moisturizer that coats skin in a protective layer and helps prevent water loss throughout the day.

Goat's Milk

Goat's milk is naturally rich in fatty acids and lactic acid, which gently exfoliates while it moisturizes — leaving skin soft without feeling stripped.

Colloidal Oats

Ground into a fine powder, oats create a soothing, calming effect on itchy or irritated skin and are a classic remedy for sensitive skin types.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is deeply moisturizing and also has natural antibacterial properties, making it a great all-around ingredient for dry, rough patches.

Honey

Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it pulls moisture into the skin and helps keep it there. It also has gentle soothing properties for irritated areas.
