This allows you to adapt your skincare routine to suit your needs. In winter, the skin often needs richer care.

All oils are absorbed very quickly and make-up can be applied without any problems. Mongongo oil and marula oil in particular have natural light protection. This makes them ideal for facial care. Our 10ml roll-on bottles are perfect for this. They guarantee precise application, especially around the eyes and lips.

Moringa oil and Mongongo oil in particular can become quite solid at cold temperatures, contain solid components or look cloudy and develop streaks (so-called ghosts). This is a sign of their purity and quality and has no influence on their nourishing properties. They will become liquid again if kept in a warm place. Please do not reheat in the microwave, as this can affect the formulation of the oils.

Moringa oil is naturally thick, cloudy and yellow. The same applies to Ximenia oil. Its consistency can be reminiscent of honey and its color is yellow, sometimes slightly greenish. Andiroba oil is also naturally very thick and cloudy.

All elewa natural beauty oils are pure natural products and have a characteristic smell/scent. Baobab oil, for example, can be described as earthy. Marula oil, Kalahari melon seed oil or Mongongo oil as nutty, sometimes a little woody. The South American andiroba oil has a very intense earthy smell, and all variations are possible, from mild to intense. The smell/smell of the oils can also differ depending on the country of origin and year of harvest. Most people find these characteristic and natural scents pleasant, but they are perceived very differently and not everyone likes these scents. All facial oils and the Recovery body oil are natural oils with no added fragrances. This makes them very well tolerated by people with sensitive skin.
