All About Ingredients 

​Becoming more aware of what goes into your body is important.  So is becoming more aware of what goes onto your body!  Have you read the list of ingredients in the moisturizer and other body products you use?  Even the products I thought were better, purer, healthier were loaded with chemicals, preservatives, fillers, perfumes, alcohol, and dyes.  For the vast majority, the first ingredient is water. 

​Water is a wonderful source of hydration, but applying water to skin does not help to moisturize it.  As an ingredient in skin-care products, water invites bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mold, lowering shelf life and requiring the inclusion of preservatives.

Sheeperfect^® products use only 100% pure, natural ingredients and essential oils, all superfoods for the skin!  Here are some of the wonderful benefits of the ingredients we use.
