Emu Oil has been used for thousands of years by the Aborigines of Australia to help with a range of ailments. While we appreciate the value of Emu Oil, we felt there had to be a plant based alternative. We soon found that there was nothing commercially available that suited our needs. This paved the way for us to start down our own R&D path. After numerous iterations we finally perfected what we feel is a superior alternative to Emu Oil. Epi•Trans- our newest formulation, was created to replace the Emu Oil in our Deep Tissue formulation. It offers better penetration efficacy and is completely plant based. Epi•Trans combines high oleic, linoleic & exotic oils with select terpenes to create a powerful trans-dermal carrier oil.
Mafura Butter:
Soothes inflammation and irritation while reducing the appearance of scarring and balancing skin's natural moisture and oil production. Our organically crafted Mafura Oil, also popularly called Cape Mahogany Oil, Natal Mahogany Oil and Trichilia Oil is cold-pressed from the bright red fleshy seeds of Trichilia emetica, an evergreen tree native to southern regions of Africa. Our Mafura Butter is sourced from Zimbabwe. Our Mafura Butter has been extracted using cold pressing, which means it is minimally processed using mechanical extraction (pressure) and low-temperature controlled conditions [at around 80-90°F (26-32°C)] to extract the oil. The phytonutrient-rich oil is then fine-filtered using a screen, to remove any significant solids or undesired impurities from the oil. No chemical solvents, no high-heat temperatures, and no further chemical refining to alter the condition (colour, scent) of the oil.
JoJoba Oil:
Rich in vitamins A, E and D, plus antioxidants and fatty acids, Jojoba Oil is able to penetrate deeply, reaching below the top layer of skin for maximum nourishment. As Jojoba Oil is so closely matched to the skin's natural oil, it is quickly absorbed, helps to hold moisture in the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Our organically crafted Jojoba Oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis shrub, native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, Northern Mexico and arid California. Although referred to as an oil, Jojoba is actually a liquid plant wax with remarkably similar properties to our skin's own sebum. Our JoJoba oil is sourced from multiple producers which include, Argentina, Israel, Panama & United States.
Safflower Oil:
Our highly penetrating Organic High Oleic Safflower oil is expeller pressed from the Carthamus tinctorius plant, yielding a natural plant oil rich in essential fatty acids. This organic safflower oil variety is especially high in oleic fatty acid content (C18:1) at levels typically between 70-80%. Safflower Oil acts like a lubricant, forming a barrier that prevents water from escaping. Because it helps skin retain water, it leaves the skin radiant, soft, and smooth. It also helps to enhance the texture and tone of the skin. Our Safflower oil is sourced from Mexico.
Terpenes:
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in all plants. Containing numerous benefits, we have selected our terpenes for their anti-inflammatory & transdermal properties. Manufactured at our partner lab, they ultra-distill their raw materials and formulate in a state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure the most effective and well architected terpenes in the industry.
100% Plant Based • 90% Organic • Sustainably Sourced • Vegan Friendly
Introducing our newly reformulated Deep Tissue Massage Cream. We have increased the CBD (Cannabidiol) from 1000mg to 2500mg per 1.7oz jar. We have also introduced our proprietary Epi•Trans deep penetrating carrier oil blend, replacing the Emu Oil in our formulation. While Emu Oil is a great natural carrier oil that has been used for thousands of years, we have been working on formulating an even better alternative. By breaking down the constituents of Emu Oil and reformulating it using plant based ingredients, we developed our deep penetrating Epi•Trans. Additionally, our team has been working diligently to increase the amount of organically sourced ingredients in all of our formulations. Our new Deep Tissue formulation has better transdermal properties and offers an increase in efficacy. Give it a try today!

Hi All! There is a lot that's happening at Lacuna.
• We have brought on a new team member: Bonnie. She is our new business development manager. She has been tasked with overseeing customer service, assisting inside sales and helping with outside client acquisition. We will posting more about her soon but are excited to have her onboard.
• Needless to say the last year and a half has been challenging but moving forward we see bluer skies and calmer waters. We have challenged our team to finish 2023 strong and move into 2024 with excitement and tenacity. The biggest and most obvious change is our website. We were well aware of the inadequacy and many issues associated with our previous site / platform and have taken tremendous steps to improve the experience for both our retail and wholesale customers. We will continue to improve and update our new platform daily.
• The new year will bring new products across the board. We have been formulating and tweaking over ten new products and will be rolling them out over the next 6 months. From shampoos and wellness to new items for the family pets.
• Moving forward we are working diligently to drastically improve our shipping times, increase our customer interactions, provide a much higher level of wholesale support, and ultimately create a better experience for our Lacuna Botanicals Family!
We appreciate all of the long time support and look forward to new and exciting things......
