Botanicals

The Rabot 1745 collection is proudly based on harnessing nature’s powerful botanical ingredients. Think of them as the building blocks of the range with their naturally active properties.

Abyssinian [Crambe Abyssinica] seed oil

With a high percentage of omega 9 fatty acids, Abyssinian oil is an excellent moisturiser. It's easily absorbed so doesn't leave a greasy residue.

Almond [Prunus amygdalus dulcis] oil

Sweet almond oil softens skin and delivers a vitamin superboost, helping to protect against free radical damage.

Aloe vera [Aloe barbadensis]

Split the aloe vera plant and you’ll find a cooling, soothing gel. It’s this that we use in our shower gel to gently calm skin as it cleanses.

Apricot [Prunus armeniaca] kernel oil

Apricot oil is rich in skin-soothing vitamins and essential fatty acids. It nourishes and hydrates without leaving a residue.

Argan [Argania spinosa] oil

Helping to retain moisture and improve skin’s elasticity, argan oil is also rich in omega 3 and 9 fatty acids and vitamin E.

Avocado [Persea gratissima] oil

High levels of fatty acids combine with vitamin E, potassium, lecithin, oleic acid and antioxidants for a super-powered beauty boost.

Babussu [Attalea speciosa] oil

We love babussu oil. It moisturises, softens, smooths and strengthens - and has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties too.

Bois bandé

Reputed to have aphrodisiac qualities, the bark from the Richeria grandis tree is used widely in the West Indies and Caribbean where it is revered for its almost mythical powers. We’ve extracted the essential oils and use it in our fabulous Wonder Balm, where its powerful moisturisers help soothe and moisturise parched skin, tame eyebrows and soften cracked cuticles.

Cacao [Theobroma cacao] seed butter

Cacao is the beating heart of our range. Inspired by the skincare treatments at our rainforest hotel on Saint Lucia, the Rabot 1745 beauty collection harnesses the power of cacao’s skincare ‘must haves’ - vitamins, fatty acids and hydration - in beautifully perfumed, easily absorbed form.

Coconut [Cocos nucifera] shell powder

Nature’s exfoliator. Ground-up coconut shells act as a fabulous skin polisher in our hydrating body scrub.

Coffee bean powder

Wake up whilst exfoliating - our blend of Arabica coffee bean polishes and sloughs away dead skin cells for smooth, silky skin.

Jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis] oil

Skin loves jojoba oil; it’s easily absorbed and is super-hydrating. Anti-inflammatory properties help calm the skin and reduce redness whilst vitamin B and E help skin repair itself.

Kaolin clay

Known for its ability to draw out impurities, we use kaolin to help clear clogged pores and refine the skin.

Lime [Citrus aurantifolia] oil

Antioxidant and antiseptic, lime oil’s astringent properties slough away dead skin cells, revealing soft, glowing skin. We love its uplifting, zesty scent.

Macadamia [Macadamia integrifolia] nut oil

Hypoallergenic and wonderfully light, macadamia nut oil delivers essential fatty acids whilst deeply hydrating.

Mango [Mangifera indica] butter

Vitamin-rich mango seed oil is wonderful for parched skin. Packed full of precious antioxidants, it helps retain moisture whilst protecting skin.

Nutmeg [Myristica fragrans]

Spicy, sweet and aromatic, nutmeg has an earthy quality that delivers a rounded warmth.

Patchouli [Pogostemon cablin]

Part of the mint family, patchouli is also known to be soothing to the nervous system. Heady and exotic, it combines beautifully with musky scents.

Rosemary [Rosmarinus officinalis] leaf extract

Cleanses, soothes and has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Improves the texture of lips.

Shea [Vitellaria paradoxa] butter

Shea butter is one of nature’s superheroes. Easily absorbed, it intensively hydrates dry skin whilst locking in moisture. High levels of oleic acid and powerful antioxidants make this one of our favourite anti-inflammatory botanicals.

Sour orange [Citrus aurantium]

With its sharp citrus kick, sour orange adds a zesty freshness to our scrubs. It helps cut through dirt, oil and impurities yet is gentle enough not to irritate the skin. Sour orange is known to hydrate the skin and help reduce inflammation as it cleanses.

Wild honey

Sweetly scented and highly nourishing, honey is loved for its antibacterial and healing properties.
