Organic Soybean Oil is loaded with anti-oxidants that promote skin health and help to heal the damage that is done to skin by pollution and by sun exposure. Anti-oxidants contained in Soybean Oil such as Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex are key to helping the radiance and the natural beauty of skin. Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex are also instrumental in helping to control and to prevent the development and the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, Soybean Oil will help fix uneven skin and will create more even skin tone, thereby improving the texture of skin delivering a more glowing and brighter skin.

Organic Aloe Barbadensis Gel Extract Recent studies have shown that aloe vera gel facilitates the healing of damaged skin tissue. It can decrease the redness and swelling associated with a burn. The gel also prevents skin damage resulting from exposure to ultraviolet radiation associated with direct sunlight.

Organic Carrot Oil provides extraordinary skin protection and conditioning benefits derived from the high quantities of oil soluble carotenoids that it contains. Carotenoids are a class of easily assimilated antioxidants. Antioxidants protect human cells from harmful free-radical attack. Free-radicals are stray oxygen molecules that attack healthy cell walls and react with polyunsaturated fats to create a chain reaction of unlimited free-radical regeneration. Free-radicals are produced by a wide range of environmental pollutants, including UVR. If left unchecked by antioxidants, free-radicals damage both the structure and function of cell membranes, resulting in premature aging, cancer and an array of degenerative diseases.

Organic Jojoba Oil is obtained from the crushed bean of the jojoba shrub. Native Americans have used jojoba for hundreds of years for treating sores, cuts, bruises, and burns; as a skin conditioner, for soothing windburn and sunburn. When sebum production decreases due to age, pollutants, or environmental stresses, jojoba oil can replicate sebum oil.

B-Carotene the GOOD Vitamin A : UVA exposure causes premature aging by an increase of oxidative stress in skin. In a study using human skin cells, the researchers found that beta-carotene suppressed UVA-induction of  enzymes which are key to degradation of the extracellular matrix during premature skin aging.  Scientists showed that UVA rapidly destroys beta-carotene in the cells, indicating that the carotenoid has to be replenished after sun light exposure. *ALERT!  We have been using Botanical Beta Carotene Vitamin A for nearly two decades. Recent articles about the dangers of Vitamin A, have caused some alarm and much confusion. The lab results published refer solely to Retinyl Palmitate Vitamin A, a CHEMICAL COMPOUND and its CHEMICAL REACTIONS. There are NO dangers with Beta Carotene, actually, quite the opposite.

Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) Researchers have concluded that ozone pollution rapidly pares away Vitamin E from the thin surface layer skin, called the "stratum corneum." The stratum corneum's role is to help prevent pollutants and other chemicals from entering the body. With a reduction in the strength of this barrier, free radicals gain an easy porthole into the body. The researchers also concluded that the depletion of vitamin E could expose important skin fat molecules to pollution. The destruction of these `lipids,' regulators of matter streaming into and out of the skin, could aggravate skin ailments. Oxidation, or the aging process of the skin, occurs primarily because UV light stimulates the production of free radicals. In its own defense, the body manufactures natural antioxidants. However, aging and sun exposure make the body's sustained fight against UV rays more and more difficult. As a result, the free-radical damage can lead not only to older-looking skin, but also to potential skin cancer. Studies suggest that topical vitamin E application sent the skin extra vitamin E protection reducing skin damage caused by UV rays. Because antioxidants absorb radiation not neutralized by sunscreens, vitamin E increases their protection and lessens the damaging effects of solar UV radiation. Vitamin E does more than protect skin from the sun. Studies show topical vitamin E improves skin moisture by offsetting dryness caused by aging and environmental factors.

Purified Water free of toxins and oxidants and reducing agents. 

Organic Shea Butter praised for its anti-aging and moisturizing properties, shea butter is  known as "women's gold”. It also contains cinnamic acid which is a naturally occurring sunblock and skin lightener.

Synthetic Lanolin absorbs and holds moisture to the skin. Gives skin a smooth and silky texture. 

Phyto-squalene: (Derived from Olive plants, not from animal sources). Squalene is found naturally in your skin and provides oxygenating and detoxifying effects that help maintain the skin’s health, moisture and softness. The amount of Squalene in our skin declines as we age, so topical application helps maintain the moisture and especially treats the skin for roughness, and dryness. By keeping our skin moist you effectively treat wrinkles and the appearance of aging skin. In keeping with our ethical skin care products, Phytosqualene is sourced from olive oil extracts. Squalene has a natural affinity to skin, with it's soft, silky, non greasy touch and natural skin absorption it restores the skin’s suppleness and flexibility.

Allantoin is derived from botanical extracts of the comfrey plant, a moisturizing and keratolytic effect, increasing the water content of the extracellular matrix and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells, increasing the smoothness of the skin; promoting cell proliferation and skin protection.

The "NO's" 

 NO PABA: When originally introduced as a sunscreen, although effective, was highly irritating to the skin. It also stained clothing.
