Comprehensive Information

Scientists have found that Aloe Vera gel is a mixture of astringent, coagulating agent, pain inhibitor, cell growth stimulator and scar inhibitor. It contains a total of 70 “essential ingredients” including most vitamins, B12, minerals, enzymes, proteins and amino acids. With little processing, this gel is a natural medicine for helping to cure almost any skin ailment from sunburn and other burns, rashes, wounds, acne, stings, cold sores, insect bites, arthritis and as an anti-aging cream. The plant imparts a wound-healing substance that heals scars and damaged skin, providing a protective coating that seals off the loss of water.

An active free-radical scavenger, which is also capable of reducing melanin to a colorless substance, combating excessive pigmentation. It is required in the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue. It promotes healthy cell development, normal tissue growth & repair, such as healing of wounds and burns.

This cold pressed oil from the seed of the plant grows abundantly in the Mediterranean, Central Europe and Asia. It is said to be one of the best source of gamma linoleic acid (GLA), containing up to 23% of this fatty acid vital for the synthesis of prostaglandin, an important function in the body, especially the skin. GLA is noted for its effects on the skin and its ability to reduce dryness and keep skin healthy, supple, and young-looking by regulating the hydration of the skin. Used to enhance and fortify cell growth, it is considered to be regenerative and beneficial to all skin types.

Also known as karite, it comes from the nuts of the shea butter tree, a slow-growing wild fruit tree indigenous to the savanna lands extending from Senegal to eastern Uganda. It is a pure, unrefined product, processed manually, without the use of chemicals or bleaching agents. The unique qualities of this variety, and the use of chemical-free processing methods, result in a product naturally high in shea olein and therapeutic unsaponifiables, absorbing more readily into the skin. A remarkable, all-purpose moisturizer and skin protector, particularly useful for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Leaves the skin feeling soft, well-moisturized, yet not greasy. Known to increase epidermal thickness due to moisturization and other factors, it alleviates skin dryness and offers sun protection properties. It also counteracts dehydration of the skin, is effective in treating general dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, dry-skin redness, chapping and sunburn, and it minimizes scarring.

A complex of amino acid proteins, derived from coconut or palm oils, and the amino acid glycine. This product helps to protect skin from water loss, helps to kill microbes, and helps with a product’s consistency, and as an emulsifier.

A botanically derived substance that reduces the appearance of aging by stimulating collagen production, protecting elastin fibers against enzyme breakdown, and assisting as a free-radical scavenger. Restores moisture under the skin, promoting anti-wrinkle activity in the skin.

A natural humectant, derived from vegetable oils, which softens skin by attracting moisture to it.

A phospholipid that protects cells from oxidation. Virtually non-toxic and biodegradeable, lecithin serves as an emulsifier. It has moisturizing, softening, and anti-aging properties.

An organic derivative of silica that provides long-lasting moisturization. It fights free radicals, improving the cell membranes’ resistance to attack. Its anti-glycation action helps combat the deterioration of collagen and elastin fibers over time. Its anti-inflammatory properties protect skin by preventing irritation and inflammatory reactions within the skin.

The mycelium of whole fresh Matsutake (songyi) mushrooms are used in this extract. Cosmetically, this powerful extract is a natural skin lightener. It is used to remove dark spots and wrinkles.

A water soluble, film-forming moisturizer, extracted from oat, clinically shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Formed from vegetable oils, reinforces skin’s natural moisture barrier, delivering hydration to parched skin cells.

Readily absorbed, this light, yet emollient oil is high in oleic and linoleic acid, with clinically proven biochemical and therapeutic effects. It is of critical importance to moisture control of the skin. This oil is recommended for aging, sensitive skin, and skin that is inflamed, irritated or dry.

An Anti-oxidant that normalizes skin cells, and the skin’s barrier properties.

Derived from marine plants, sea algae is rich in minerals that nourish and protect the skin. It hydrates, re-mineralizes, heals, and detoxifies skin. It contains chlorophyll, which draws out impurities and tightens the skin, amino acids to rebuild cells and condition skin, vitamin A to normalize cells, and essential fatty acids that improve skin’s elasticity.

A natural source of hyaluronic acid, with a vital role in tissue hydration. Penetrates the epidermis to prevent dehydration and retain water in the dermis layer, smoothing lines and decreasing wrinkles. Stimulates blood vessel growth, and aids in the regeneration and healing of tissue. Its regenerative functions treat prematurely aged skin, induced by extreme climate and stress.

Produced from naturally derived vegetable oils, it improves skin’s moisturization, suppleness, and elasticity, providing a protective effect on the skin barrier.

Produced from the olive Olea europaea, squalane (the unhydrogenated form) is also found in human sebum in quantities around 10%. Due to its similarity to the skin’s own natural emollient, squalane has a higher affinity with the skin’s natural lipids than most other oils. When applied to the skin, it spreads very easily, forming a protective film which limits dehydration; allowing and improving respiration of the skin to maintain its flexibility and suppleness.

Performs as an internal moisturizer and acts as a free-radical scavenger to help combat lipid peroxidation. Vitamin E is well known for its antioxidant properties.

A widely used, trusted natural ingredient — a lipoaminoacid derived from coconut.

Rich in vitamin E, it provides antioxidants that fight free radicals.

Obtained from the ground up seeds of an Asian tree, it is used as a natural emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener.

A naturally derived ingredient from sugars found in wheat and wood cellulose, found to dramatically improve epidermal water content by increasing the skin’s dermal water reservoirs.
