90% Organic White Willow Bark
– Is an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial property which delicately tend to
sensitive skin issues like rosacea and psoriasis, yet battle valiantly with
hard core acne, calluses, even warts. A potent controller of sebum, it helps to
unclog oily pores, which in turn prevents acne. An energetic yet un-abrasive
exfoliator, willow bark helps to remove those dull, lifeless skin cells,
revealing the youthful, radiant skin you’ve got underneath. This also
discourages wrinkles, skin spots or discoloration, promoting a more even skin
tone. Overall, willow bark charms your true, flawless and glowing complexion to
reveal herself. Beyond being impressive for skincare the active extract of the
bark is salicin, a form of salicylic acid
Dimethylaminoethanol - also
known as DMAE Increases skin firmness. By potentially increasing acetylcholine
in tissues, DMAE is touted for its ability to increase skin tone. Preliminary
evidence indicates applying a topical preparation of DMAE may yield this
benefit. In a 2002 double-blind trial, a topical gel containing 3% DMAE seemed
to increase the firmness of skin in 30 volunteers who applied the preparation
to their faces daily for 16 weeks. Improvements were noted in forehead lines
and lines around the eyes, as well as in lip shape, fullness, and the
appearance of aging skin. The improvements were sustained after a two-week
cessation of the application. (10) A 2005 review indicated an open-label
extension of this trial showed that long-term application of DMAE gel for up to
one year was deemed safe. And, according to the review, in vitro studies also
indicate DMAE is an effective anti-inflammatory agent, particularly in the
skin, a site of acetylcholine synthesis, storage, secretion, metabolism, and receptivity.
However, researchers called for further studies comparing the efficacy of DMAE
to other skin-care regimens such as topical Antioxidant creams and
alpha-hydroxy acids.
Methylsulfonylmethane - also
known as MSM is a sulphur product. Sulphur is also used for collagen synthesis,
so it keeps collagen fibres bouncy and elastic, which encourages skin
pliability and elasticity. It helps with wounded or damaged skin repair. And it
helps with wound healing. When we have a scar, it can be caused by excessive
cross linking patterns of collagen, and sulphur can help make that cross
linking pliable and less scar-like.
Phenoxyethanol
- also
known as Ethylene Glycol Monophenyl Ether, is a glycol ether and bactericide
(that functions as a disinfectant, antiseptic or antibiotic) that is primarily
used as a preservative in cosmetics and beauty products.
Tea Tree Oil - Tea
tree oil is a powerful antibacterial. It contains natural antifungal and
antiviral properties. When used in skin care products it has the ability to
destroy the bacteria involved in the development of acne. It is also a natural
alternative to Benzoyl Peroxide. The Benzoyl Peroxide can have more severe side
effects to the skin, such as burning, itching and peeling. The Tea Tree may take slightly longer to show
improvement, but will have less irritation and side effects on the skin in the
long run.
Organic Aloe Leaf Juice - Aloe is
soothing and can reduce skin inflammations, blistering and itchiness, while
helping the skin to heal more rapidly. Additionally, aloe is used to
effectively heal chronic skin problems, such as psoriasis, acne and eczema. It has
more than 75 nutrients and a stunning 200 active compounds, including 12
vitamins, 20 minerals and 18 amino acids. As we age, aloes antioxidants
including, beta carotene, vitamin C and E can help improve the skin's natural
firmness and keep the skin hydrated. Aloe moisturizes the skin without giving
it a greasy feel, so it`s perfect for anyone with an oily skin complexion. For
women who use mineral-based make-up, aloe vera acts as a moisturizer and is
great for the face prior to the application to prevents skin drying.
Glycerin - glycerin is used because
of its ability to attract water from the environment and from the lower layers
of skin (dermis) increasing the amount of water in the surface layers of skin.
Another aspect of glycerin’s benefit is that it is a skin-identical ingredient,
meaning it is a substance found naturally in skin. In that respect it is one of
the many substances in skin that help maintain the outer barrier and prevent
dryness or scaling.
Polysorbate - Is used in cosmetics
and skin care products as a surfactant, emulsifier, and fragrance ingredient
that is derived from Lauric Acid. It is sometimes derived from fruits and
berries as well, leading to its fragrant properties. Polysorbate 20 can serve
as a dispersing agent and mix oil and water, work as a fragrance solubilizer
and stabilizer, act as a lubricator, and have a soothing effect on the skin
Tetrasodium EDTA
- Bind to metal ions which inactivates them. The binding of metal ions helps
prevent the deterioration of cosmetics and personal care products. It also
helps to maintain clarity, protect fragrance compounds, and prevent rancidity.
