Single-Ingredient Skincare Kits

S.W. Basics' Assorted 1-Ingredient Packets Share Simple Solutions

S.W. Basics is calling its new 'Assorted 1-Ingredient Packets' a "choose your own skincare adventure," as they enable consumers to focus their attentions on just one or only a handful of natural ingredient at a time.

The five-piece set is made up of individual pouches that contain just a single ingredient, such as: Activated Charcoal, French Green Clay, Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera Powder or Shea Butter. These packs may also be purchased individually, but opting for the bundle is a better deal.

As raw shea butter is one of nature's best moisturizers, it can be used on its own or incorporated into other products and DIY remedies as a means of making the most of its ultra-hydrating properties. Similarly, the other products may be used in a number of versatile ways.
