Ingredients
Raspberry Seed Oil
The compound Ellagic Acid, which is present in red raspberry seed oil, has been shown to reduce the destruction of collagen as well as protect against Ultraviolet damage from the sun.
Perilla Seed Oil
Perilla oil is an antiseptic and cleansing oil that helps ease congestion in the skin. It contains a compound that acts as a precursor for ceramides (they play a role in maintaining the skin barrier and preventing water loss).
Pomegranate Seed Oil
Pomegranate seed is one of the highest sources of Vitamin E with 330mg/100g. An omega 5 fatty acid present in pomegranate seeds, punicic acid reduces skin inflammation and aids in skin repair. Pomegranate oil also stimulates “keratinocyte” proliferation, which promotes regeneration of the epidermis.
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Research has shown that pumpkin seed oil offers excellent anti-inflammatory activity by decreasing the expression of inflammatory signaling proteins; this, in turn, inhibits the enzyme known as 5-alpha reductase. 5-alpha reductase produces the acne-aggravating androgen, DHT, from more mild testosterone. If we can reduce this enzyme activity in our skin, we can reduce hormonal flair-ups.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel contains the skin-nourishing vitamins and omega fatty acids. It acts as a lightweight emollient that moisturizes and softens the skin.
Sea Buckthorn CO2 Extract
Sea Buckthorn is also the only plant source that contains omega 3, 6, 7, and 9. This berry also has as much Vitamin E as wheat germ, three times more Vitamin A than carrots, and four times more superoxide dismutase (an important enzyme that helps prevent free radical damage), than ginseng.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense essential oil is great for all skin types. It helps combat dryness, as well as helping to regulate overactive sebum production. It tightens your skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is also very effective at evening out the skin tone and fading dark spots.
