Our skin care products are made with first grade natural ingredients . All the creams are manufactured by Canadian Standards. Here are some ingredients we use and why we use them:
Soy Extract:
Soy isoflavones are most potent of the antioxidant phytoestrogens; supports elasticity and firmness, helping keep skin soft and flexible as is needed when rebuilding damaged collagen.
Wild Yams:
act as a natural peptide in our skin care that mimics dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in the skin. As one of the building blocks of the body, improved DHEA levels have been correlated with improved sense of well being, reduced body fat and improve skin tone and moisture, although many associate it with menopause. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps speed tissue regeneration resulting in normalization of damaged skin.
Guarana:
Guaraná is a creeping shrub native to the Amazon (and particularly the regions of Manaus and Parintins). In the lushness of the Brazilian Amazon where it originates, it often grows to 40ft high. Outside of its popularity in a drink, Guaraná¹s therapeutic activity and use as a stimulant comes from xanthine alkaloids (caffeine, theophylline, theobromine) where caffeine alone has been shown to facilitate fat loss and reduce fatigue. Guaraná has been used in body care products for its tonifying and astringent properties, and in the treatment of cellulite for its lipolytic and vasodilation actions. The use of this in our skin care products is intended to reduce puffiness around the eyes and excess fat under the chin and neck areas.
Grape Extract:
rich in flavonoids, phytochemicals that have antioxidant properties like vitamin C and vitamin E. Antioxidants are believed to prevent and control numerous ailments by safeguarding cells against the ravages of unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals.
Japanese Green Tea:
Reported to fight damage from excessive sun and environmental damage. Primarily this ancient asian plant has ability to prevent free radicals from damaging cell structure further.
Wild Mushroom:
A natural astringent shown to improve skin tightness and firmness as it diminishes the appearance of pores.
Cucumber:
is a natural astringent and helps tighten pores. Contains potassium, silicon, and sulfur. Imparts a soothing feeling. Commonly used in skin care products as an anti-inflammatory, an excellent skin-soother and skin care-conditioning ingredient.
Wheat Protein:
Has proteins and amino acids that are easily absorbed in the skin (also potassium, silicon, and sulfur). A hydrating complex, offering a combination of moisture-balancing and film-forming properties which imparts a soothing feeling.
Acqua Biomin® :
Ocean minerals containing high concentrations of Selenium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Calcium, Germanium intended to replace these necessary minerals depleated through daily environmental exposure.
