Naturally Nourishing: A Closer Look at Mainland Vintage’s Favorite Ingredients

At Mainland Vintage, we believe skincare should be a meaningful step in your self-care routine. Every product, whether it’s a luxurious body butter or a handcrafted soap, is thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients that moisturize and nourish your skin. We keep our formulations free of harsh chemicals, using high quality oils, rich butters, and natural ingredients.

 

Here’s a breakdown of some of the ingredients frequently found in our skincare lineup, and why they’re often used in self-care routines.

 

Coconut Oil 

A staple in our soaps, body oils, and body butters, coconut oil is widely used for its hydrating properties. Naturally rich in fatty acids such as lauric acid, it is often chosen for cleansing while helping maintain moisture. Many people use coconut oil to support soft, nourished skin, and it is appreciated for its silky texture and lather.

Shea Butter 

Shea butter is a favorite ingredient in several of our soaps, including Thrive with Pride, Blueberry Bramble, and Flowering Fields, as well as in our body butters. It’s commonly selected for its vitamin A and E content and is often used to help keep skin feeling moisturized and smooth. Shea butter is widely appreciated in skincare routines, particularly during seasonal changes when extra hydration may be beneficial.

Epsom Salt 

Epsom salts have long been used in bathing rituals, and our custom blended bath salts are no exception. Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, is  a mineral often use to aid relaxation and muscle recovery. Many people turn to epsom salt baths after physical activity or long days as part of their self-care routine, appreciating its soothing qualities.

Cocoa Butter 

Featured in our body butters, cocoa butter is known for its velvety texture and rich antioxidants. Extracted from cocoa beans, it is often incorporated into skincare for its ability to help maintain skin’s softness and elasticity. Many people look to cocoa butter when seeking to support smooth skin, enjoying both its nourishing properties and naturally subtle cocoa aroma.

Aloe Vera 

Aloe vera is included in our body oils and multiple soaps like Deep Sea, Midnight Skyline, and Monstera Leaf. It is commonly chosen for its delicate hydrating properties and is frequently used to help support skin’s comfort. Many people incorporate aloe vera into their routines when looking for refreshing moisture, particularly after exposure to sun or environmental elements.

 

Jojoba Oil 

Jojoba oil, found in our body oils and Vanilla Noir body butter, is popular for its similarity to the skin’s natural oils, making it an excellent moisturizer that absorbs easily without clogging pores. With vitamins E and B, it is commonly used in skincare for its lightweight feel and ability to absorb easily.
