- Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus extract, chaga mushroom extract – Finland, organic). Chaga mushroom is an adaptogenic mushroom that has been used as a medicinal plant for thousands of years both in Finland and across Asia. The antioxidant content of chaga mushroom is very high. It includes superoxidase dismutase, one of the most important enzymatic antioxidants in the human body, as well as betulinic acid, inodotiol, beta-glucans and polysaccharides. Thanks to these active compounds, chaga mushroom effectively neutralizes and protects against the cell damage caused by free radicals, signs of premature ageing and air pollution. In addition, it hydrates and soothes the skin. Most of the world’s adaptogenic mushroom extracts are produced from fungal grains and fungal mycelium, not from the actual fruiting bodies. Djusie uses only organically grown Finnish and very high-quality chaga extract, which is extracted entirely from fruiting bodies instead of grains and mycelium. The active ingredients of the mushroom are found in the fruiting bodies. The producer of Djusie’s chaga extract specialises in the cultivation and extraction of, and research into, adaptogenic mushrooms.
- Mango seed butter (Mangifera Indica seed butter, mango butter – Burkina Faso, organic). Mango butter is a vegetable wax made from mango kernel that treats and softens the skin, acts as an occlusive, i.e. it prevents water from evaporating, and adjusts the product’s composition. Mango butter contains plenty of antioxidants, especially vitamins E and A. As a result it protects the skin from cell damage caused by free radicals and prevents signs of premature ageing. Djusie’s Orange Bliss hand cream contains mango butter, bringing an intensely moisturizing, skin-softening and protective effect.
- Blackcurrant seed oil (Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil, blackcurrant seed oil – Finland). Blackcurrant Seed Oil is a supercritical CO2 extract of blackcurrant seeds. Carbon dioxide extraction is an even gentler extraction method than cold pressing, preserving the most delicate compounds of the plant. The result is a highly pure and effective active ingredient. Carbon dioxide-extracted blackcurrant seed oil contains gamma-linolenic acid and omega-3 fatty acids in an optimal ratio.It is one of the rare plant oils containing omega-6 and omega-3-fatty acids in an optimal physiological ratio. Blackcurrant seed oil is an excellent active ingredient for sensitive and ageing skin. It smooths fine lines, moisturizes, renews, and brightens the skin. Additionally, it soothes sensitive and irritated skin while providing protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation. Vitamin E and beta-carotene protect against damage caused by free radicals, and phytosterols strengthen cell membranes. Essential fatty acids support the skin’s natural functions.
- Red mandarin essential oil (Citrus Reticulata peel oil, red mandarin essential oil – Italy, organic). The red mandarin gets its name from its peel, which is very red compared to regular mandarins. Its aroma is sweet and fruity with floral notes. Red mandarin essential oil has antiseptic effects, and therefore soothes inflammation. In addition, it prevents the formation of acne scars as it enhances skin regeneration and tones the skin.

- Sweet orange essential oil (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis oil, sweet orange essential oil – Italy, organic). As the name suggests, sweet orange essential oil has a sweet and delicious scent. Its skin care benefits are cleansing and antimicrobial, and so it soothes the skin and prevents impurities.

The sweet orange essential oil used by Djusie is made by cold-pressing the peels of the fruit.
- Yuzu essential oil (Citrus Junos peel oil, yuzu fruit essential oil – Japan). Yuzu has been used in Japan for centuries in cooking and cosmetics. Its fresh scent is somewhere between lime and mandarin. Yuzu essential oil brightens the skin, and protects it from free radicals and signs of premature ageing.
