The eco-friendly packaging isn’t even our favorite part of the lotion however, or even that it's small batch (though we love that too), it’s the ingredients.

Is Yay for Earth Good for Oily or Dry Skin?
Both! Olive oil naturally mimics our own sebum production. It actually naturally balances out on both sides for oily or dry skin.
Why Pomegranate Seed OIl?
According to Stevie, pomegranate seed oil has an omega 5 fatty acid called punic acid and it protects collagen fibers in skin, improves elasticity, and is a natural wound healer. For those of us with acne scars or aging, it stimulates keratinocytes (the cells on the outer layer of the skin) so they can regenerate!
Where does Yay for Earth Source Their Ingredients?
We absolutely love transparency from our brands, and we try to be as transparent as possible too! So here is another way in which Yay for Earth shines, they share where they source each of their ingredients. So here goes:
- Organic Olive Oil - YayforEarth uses organic olive oil from The Olive Oil Source, which uses organically grown olives out of California. This company shares an extremely detailed breakdown of their process here, so for those of you who want to dig into the details as much as we do, please enjoy!
- Local Beeswax - The most important aspect of using beeswax in any product is to ensure the sustainability practices of the beekeepers. Yay for Earth has done that and they have found 3 apiaries in which to support and supply them with their beeswax. They are: Beth’s Bees out of Colorado, Highland Honey Apiary, also out of Colorado, and Andrew’s Honey, out of New York.
- Organic Shea Butter - Yay for Earth sources it's organic shea butter from Vermont Soap. Organic shea butter is an extremely nourishing ingredient and is critical to the success of this lotion. However, Vermont Soup has a very special process in the way they filter out any naturally occurring latex that is found in the kernel of any Shea nut. This is an extremely unique process and actually doubles the market quality of the Shea butter. Vermont Soup shares a detailed description of their mission, sustainability, and give back program on their site.
