INGREDIENT HIGHLIGHTS
Green Tea is rich in amino acids, proteins, lipids and organic acids that aid in total skin and body health. It’s been proven that Epigallocatechin, a polyphenol and anti-oxidant found in Green Tea, can be linked to prevention of early stages of skin cancer while providing anti-inflammatory and photo protective properties; thereby preventing premature aging and wrinkles. Anti-oxidants of Vitamins A, C and E present in Green Tea are instrumental in this process.
Honey is composed of sugars like glucose and fructose and minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium chlorine, sulphur, iron and phosphate. It also naturally contains vitamins B1, B2, C, B6, B5 and B3. plus copper, iodine, and zinc in small quantities. These components are instrumental in supporting and maintaining healthy skin. Honey also has the ability to attract water, especially for moisture-depleted skin, it is safe for the most sensitive skin types.
Both low weight proteins (penetrates and fills in intercellular spaces) and high weight proteins (provide a protective coating on the surface of the skin) are used in the formulas according to the designed function of the formula. A gel-like plant derived protein substance, hyaluronic acid functions as a lubricant between connective tissue of skin and joints and a supporter of long fiber proteins of collagen and elastin. Though hyaluronic acid is present in synovial fluid that surrounds joints, cartilage, the eye and skin tissue, it becomes depleted with age due to strong cross-linking of collagen fibers and an increase in soluble collagen. Unless replaced, skin becomes thin, shriveled and dry, resulting in premature wrinkles and fine lines while joints become stiff and painful. DNA within the cell becomes vulnerable from free radical breakdown of hyaluronic acid diminishing the skin’s water holding capacity.
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) has ability to bind 1,000 times its weight in water, critical in maintaining optimal lubrication in spaces between cell membranes while promoting moisture retention
• HA easily penetrates skin’s surface with increased water absorption to assist in diminishing wrinkles and to treat dry, damaged skin
• Together with collagen, HA is essential for health of all soft connective tissue
• HA easily penetrates skin’s surface with increased water absorption to assist in diminishing wrinkles and to treat dry, damaged skin
Non-toxic, non-irritating, calming and anti-infectious, Orange Oil assists with decongesting the lymphatic system. Moisturizing and soothing to the skin, it relieves tension, stress.
This is a water soluble form of Vitamin C. Alkaline, water softening agent in water based formulas.
