Ingredients

I source the ingredients from UK suppliers, buying organic where possible. I make the products in any spare time I have, when I'm not chasing around after my son - my day job is a stay at home Dad.

Captain Cat's products are safety assessed and compliant with EU regulations.  We are also a member of the Guild of Craft Soap & Toiletry Makers.

Ingredients:

Organic Argan Oil ~The Moroccan Argan tree is a majestic plant that can survive for two to five centuries, the oil is extracted from the nut this tree bears. The oil contains many antioxidants, is rich in vitamin E and its anti-ageing properties make it a wonderful skin and hair care product.

Pure Jojoba Oil ~ The oil comes from the seeds of the Jojoba shrub found in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. The structure of this oil closely resembles that of your own skin sebum, making it an excellent moisturiser and ideal for all skin types and is a good nourishing ingredient for hair care.

Apricot Kernel Oil ~ The apricot tree is a member of the rose family originating from Central and East Asia. The fruit, which is rich in vitamins A & E is used to produce the pleasant smelling oil, which is extracted from the soft fleshy centre of the apricot stone. Vitamin A supports skin health and repair, and Vitamin E supports healthy hair growth.

Blend of 100% Essential Oils:

Sandalwood (Amyris) ~ Due to ethical concerns over the production of genuine Mysore Sandalwood, we have chosen to use Sandalwood Amyris, which grows wild on the Mountain slopes of Haiti. It is an evergreen with lovely white flowers, though the bark is the part of the plant which produces the resin which makes Sandalwood Amyris. It has a gentle, woody aroma, with a slight vanilla undertone, and is known to have aphrodisiacal qualities.

Cardamon ~ A perennial, reed-like herb, Cardamon (or Cardamom) grows wild and is cultivated in India and Sri Lanka and is used in Ayurvedic medicine as well as in perfumes and incense and of course cooking. Cardamom oil has a warm, sweet, spicy and almost balsamic aroma.

Grapefruit ~ Originally known as "The forbidden fruit", the grapefruit was first documented in 1750 by Captain Cat's fellow Welshman, Rev. Griffith Hughes. The essential oil is derived from the peel of this citrus fruit. It has an uplifting effect on the mood and helps with stress and depression, with a zesty, citrus aroma. It is used with great success to clear the body of toxins. It helps to clear congested oily skin, while toning the skin and tissues. Grapefruit is used in hair care to promote hair growth.

Bergamot ~ Is a citrus fruit, predominantly grown in southern Italy and like grapefruit, the essential oil is present in the peel. The aroma of the oil is fruity and sweet, with a warm spicy floral quality. It is used to flavor Earl Grey tea, and it is also one of the main ingredients for the original Eau-de-Cologne fragrance.
