“Your skin is your largest organ. What you put on it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Fuel it with vitamins and minerals, not toxic chemicals.” — Co-founder Vincent Cobb

We set out to create one all-purpose natural moisturizer that would be great for skin and hair.

A major problem with personal care brands (and the entire industry) is that they promote the use of a wide array of products we just don’t need and complex routines that require multiple products (think — moisturizers, serums, body lotions, hair conditioner, pre-shave, post-shave, beard oil, etc) Plus they are typically loaded with mystery ingredients and potentially harmful chemicals (even the “natural” ones).

And what personal care brands charge often has little to do with the actual quality or efficacy of the ingredients inside. It’s more the marketing and branding behind them. Being skeptical and aware, we don’t buy into the hype.

We chose to develop a light, fast absorbing, highly nourishing moisturizer that closely matched our body’s own sebum. One that feeds and nourishes both skin and hair and is capable of being used in many ways. Of course no water, cheap fillers or suspect chemicals of any kind.

After hundreds of hours of research, testing and experimentation we arrived at our unique combination of cold pressed, unfiltered bioactive rich plant oils. And supercharged it with a high concentration of pure, potent trace minerals & fulvic acid to further nourish skin cells as it gets absorbed transdermally. And added a dash of rosemary to help preserve.

The oils we use are unrefined, cold pressed and hexane-free and loaded with bioactive compounds to support healthy skin and hair.

They include essential fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, B Complex, E, Iodine Selenium, and Zinc. They have protective and soothing properties and are known to attack skin pathogens, while supporting the skin’s microbiome & overall body ecology. Ingredients also help protect skin from free radical damage.

How to use

Important: Always shake well before using to distribute the Trace Minerals & Fulvic Acid concentrate.

Daily post-shower body moisturizer — while feeding your skin & supporting your microbiome.

After your shower, apply while your skin is still damp to help seal in additional moisture. Use 1-2 pumps and apply like you would any lotion or oil. Skin Fuel is a concentrate (unlike lotions, which are 80-90% water), so a little goes a long way.

Lymphatic support

When applying, you can use this time to stimulate your vascular/lymphatic system — important, but frequently forgotten.

The idea is to apply pressure with the hands and gently squeezing and drawing — in direct towards the heart.

Here’s an example:

  1. Squirt 1 to 2 pumps of Skin Fuel into hands.
  2. Using your right hand grip your left wrist.
  3. Pull your hand up the arm towards the shoulder, applying pressure.
  4. At the top of the arm, release pressure as you return to the wrist.
  5. Do the same for other parts of the body, repeating a few times in each area.

Try Skin Fuel as a replacement for these products:

  • Aftershave
    Apply after shaving. Soothes, prevents razor burn and reconditions skin.
  • Hair Oil & Conditioner
    Apply 1 pump to hands and smooth on damp hair to condition. It can also be used on dry hair to style and tame frizz.
  • Beard Oil
    Apply after showering or washing your face. Helps moisturize skin underneath while conditioning and taming beard hair.
  • Scalp Treatment
    Massage into scalp to stimulate circulation, aid hair growth, control dandruff and unclog pores.
  • Salve
    Dab on minor scrapes to protect and promote healing.
  • Facial Cleanser
    A gentle and effective way to clean your face and maintain truly healthy skin. At night, apply 2 pumps to palms and massage on face. Put a warm washcloth over your face for several seconds and wipe off. Oil cleansing leaves skin far more nourished and moisturized than traditional soap or detergent-based facial cleansers.
  • Shaving Oil
    If you shave your legs in the shower, Skin Fuel works much better than soap since it doesn’t wash away and leaves them silky smooth and chemical-free.

Tips

Unlike lotions that are mostly water, Skin Fuel is concentrated, so a little goes a long way. To help spread over a larger body area, try wetting hands first or applying to damp skin after showering.


Create a Transdermal Magnesium Oil using Skin Fuel

Adding a Magnesium Chloride Oil to your Skin Fuel can help your body access the benefits of Magnesium while eliminating the costs, chemicals, and waste of traditional personal care products like deodorants and hair-holding products. To create your own, simply use 50% Skin Fuel and 50% Magnesium Oil and mix well in a clean pump bottle. Shake well before applying. Get more details in our help center.

You can see the extra fulvic acid (Fulvic Mineral Complex — our proprietary fulvic acid concentrate — the same as the supplement we sell), rich in polyphenols and micronutrients.

The Fulvic Mineral Complex in Skin Fuel provides it with trace minerals, macro minerals, organic acids, antioxidants, polyphenols, electrolytes, amino acids, naturally occurring vitamins and other micronutrients.

Remember to shake it well to distribute all of the fulvic acid goodness!

Skin Fuel is a non-negotiable!

Skin Fuel is a non-negotiable in my daily routine. The scent alone is refreshing enough to wake me up. I use it to remove makeup, treat dry patches, and every morning I pair it with my gua sha to get my skin going.

No need to look elsewhere!

So happy to finally find a face moisturizer that has so few ingredients and can be used all over my body and hair if I want. For years I tried so many other options that left my skin feeling very dry and dead. Thanks to Akamai and Skin Fuel, my skin has never felt SO GOOD after applying.
