Satin Faulkner

Founder of Saturals Skincare

Meet the Founder

Satin Faulkner created Saturals skincare in 2018 to give customers the option of all-natural organic skin, hair, and wellness products. Everything sold at Saturals is free of harsh chemicals, is 100% natural, and is 100% hand-made. Satin created body butter, hair oils, and other products for herself out of necessity. Due to the ill effects, she observed that chemical-based skin and hair products had on customer's skin, especially for African American women. As a result of her experiences, Saturals aims to help others treat and heal their skin, mind, and bodies the natural way while remaining affordable for underserved communities.

Here are some of the natural
ingredients we use and why?

*Beeswax: Helps protect and repair rough, dry, and chapped skin by forming a breathable protective barrier on the surface that helps protect it from environmental toxins, and helps hold in moisture to reduce dryness. Beeswax is also a natural humectant, meaning it attracts water molecules from the air to keep your skin hydrated, an essential part of smooth, healthy skin! It is also a good source of vitamin A, which helps your skins natural exfoliation process for rejuvenated, glowing skin. Because it is anti-allergenic, it is easily tolerated by those with allergies, and helps relieve dry, itchy skin associated with eczema, psoriasis, and cracked skin. All Beeswax in Satural’s products are triple filtered, organic and free of contaminants.

Fair Trade Raw Cacao Butter: It’s high fatty acid content also allows cacao butter to penetrate further deep down into the dermis, where it demonstrably improves elasticity and tone. The vitamin E in cacao butter is readily absorbable by human skin, allowing its intensively moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties to get straight to work, helping to relieve dry or irritated skin. It also contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), which can help to alleviate dermatitis and troublesome skin rashes. Cacao butter is also high in Omega 6 Fatty Acids (which makes up about 25% of your skin. These fats form a protective layer on your skin, preventing moisture loss for soft, supple skin. High in Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, and Zinc, which helps build collagen, combat free radicals, prevent premature aging, and help with wound healing!

Fair Trade Unrefined Raw Shea Butter: Our shea butter comes from the heart of rural Ghana, and is mostly produced by widows. Handcrafted traditionally, it is high in Vitamins A, E, and F, and lusciously full of useful fatty acids. This luxurious ultra-moisturizing shea butter is our pride and joy, and thanks to you, we are able to support fair trade Ghana's Shea butter. This amazing shea butter protects your skin from environmental damage, has anti-inflammatory properties and relieves symptoms caused by various microbes.

Fair Trade Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: An excellent moisturizer, naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal, and great for atopic dermatitis. It can help relieve itchy, scaly skin caused by psoriasis and eczema. Comprised of 90% saturated fats, it does not oxidize. It’s high Lauric acid, which makes up nearly 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil, is what make it so effective at blocking the growth of bacteria. Capric acid is another medium chain fatty acid found in coconut oil that has potent antimicrobial properties, which helps in the healing process of open, irritated, dry skin due to eczema and psoriasis.

Olive Oil: Penetrates deeply into the skin to provide intense moisturizing, without clogging pores, and provides a cleansing effect. It is useful for treating extra dry skin like eczema and more and helps nourish diaper rashes, and even cradle cap. Rich in Vitamin E, polyphenols, phytosterols, and antioxidants, it helps protect the skin from premature aging, and restore skin smoothness. A somewhat rare compound, hydroxytyrosol, is found in olive oil and prevents free radical damage to the skin. It also helps with skin cell rejuvenation, to remove dead skin cells and leave skin renewed and glowing. This is especially helpful in cases of severe eczema and psoriasis with thickened skin patches.

Organic Golden Jojoba Oil: Actually a liquid wax, the structure is very similar to the natural oils of our skin, which helps it absorb faster than other oils while being incredibly moisturizing. It is full of nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals, like Vitamin E and B, chromium, copper, and zinc, which helps nourish and protect skin. Jojoba helps tame inflammation, reduce fine lines, control acne breakouts, soothe sunburn, and more. It also can help trick your skin into thinking it has produced enough oil, and thus balance oil production. It is antimicrobial, helps repair skin, and helps heal wounds.

Sodium Bentonite Clay: Helps oxygenate skin for a smoother, healthier glow, draws out odor-causing bacteria and toxins out of the pores, and contains minerals to help repair skin.
