Camellia japonica (CAMELLIA OI) (derived from the Green Tea Flower in Japan) delivers the benefits claimed by Retinol, Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and other chemical acid based anti-aging products, but without their irritating side effects. Camellia oil is more effective than other natural oils and skincare products on the market today because:

-It is more penetrating and hydrating without greasy residues. Studies have proven that no skincare products can work unless they penetrate multiple layers of the skin barrier. Camellia oil is able to penetrate deep down the skin's lower layers to restore moisture and elasticity as well as replenish skin lipids, essential to prevent skin water loss. By contrast, many water- and chemical-based creams sold on the market today cannot penetrate beyond the outermost layers of the skin and there fore have only transitory surface effects.

- It is more cost effective. It delivers dramatic results at less than half the cost, or
even a fraction of the cost of brand name anti-aging creams at department stores.

- It won't clog pores or cause acne because skin tissue responds better to the
molecular structure of fatty acids found in camellia oil.

- It does not cause any irritation or allergic reactions such as stinging, peeling, flaking and rash, unlike most Retinol, AHA and chemical acid based anti-aging creams. Completely safe and gentle, it can be used for all skin types. You can use it every day and night, even around the eyes.

Camellia sinensis (GREEN TEA EXTRACT) is rich in amino acids, proteins, lipids and organic acids known to aid in total body health, not just the skin. It has been proven that Epigallocaechin, a polyphenol found in green tea, can be linked to prevention of the early stages of skin cancer. Its antioxidants Vitamins A, C, and E are instrumental in preventing carcinogenic absorption. Polyphenols are anti-oxidants providing anti-inflammatory and photo protective properties thereby preventing premature aging and wrinkles. Especially helpful in soothing and supporting the health of sensitive, irritated skin.

CAMU-CAMU is a fruit from the Amazon forest very high in Vitamin C. Vitamin C is
essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Adding vitamin C to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. When Vitamin C is properly delivered to skin cells, it provides added support toward reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture. While oranges provide 500 to 4,000 ppm Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid), and acerola has assayed 16,000 to 172,000 ppm ascorbic acid, Camu-camu provides 21,000 to 500,000 ppm ascorbic acid or 2 to 3 grams per kilogram. In comparison, 30 times more Vitamin C is provided in Camu-camu plus 10 times more iron, 3 times more niacin and twice as much riboflavin. Astoundingly enough, it also supplies 50% more phosphorous. Other phytochemicals present are bioflavonoid, beta-carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, protein, and thiamin in smaller amounts. The action and properties of Camu-camu are:
- Astringent
- Antioxidant
- Anti-inflammatory
- Emollient
- Nutritive able to accumulate within cells for maximum effectiveness.
- Vital to the collagen synthesis process. Damage to collagen, elastin, cell membranes, nuclear constituents and proteoglycans is caused by UV radiation to the skin resulting in oxidative free radicals. Connective tissue breakdown and skin cancer can result. Feeds the skin topically to provide necessary levels of Vitamin C to protect against these detrimental agents.
- When applied in a topical manner, can provide up to 20 times more Vitamin C than found in food intake or supplements.
Several studies have been done on the photo-protective effects of Vitamin C. UVB mediated sunburn cell formation was discovered to be significantly reduced and post UVB inflammation was reduced in those treated with topical Vitamin C.

CANADIAN WILLOWHERB (Epilobium augustifolium) contains a bioactive molecule: Oenothein-B, patented for its wide ranging anti-inflammatory, non-steroidal activity. Its antiviral, anti-tumor and free radical scavenging abilities soothe inflamed or irritated skin while allowing healing to take place. The potent bioactivity makes it a therapeutic product recommended for irritated, red skin. Research performed in North America and Europe has found it outperforms 1% hydrocortisone in results measured: _ hour, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24
hours. The Willowherb lotion was especially effective during the first three measured points of the test, the time that is most important to the healing process. Thus this ingredient is excellent for traumatized skin whether by injury or cosmetic medical procedures.
