blend
of five botanical extracts: bilberry, sugar cane, orange, lemon and
sugar maple. These extracts contain several naturally occurring
alpha hydroxy acids (lactic, glycolic, citric, malic and tartaric
acids) when topically
applied, stimulates collagen
synthesis and boosts skin
elasticity. A combination of
all these AHAs results in a
truly multifunctional
material, increasing the
rate of cell renewal.

since ancient times to treat
and cure a variety of skin
conditions. The juice heals
the skin and reduces redness
and itching.

strong
moisture binding
abilities as well as mild
astringent effects. Cucumber

helps relieve the puffiness
of the skin. It also helps

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol
Bitrate):
Often called
"the Face Lift In a Jar".
This little gem has become
one of the must have in face
preparations because of its
reported ability to increase
skin firmness, plump lips,
reduce facial sag, fine
lines and reinforce the
skins foundation of collagen
and elastin and that DMAE
actually makes cells live
longer. When applied to the
skin it stimulates
acetylcholine release which
triggers a response in the
muscles of the face keeping
them taught. This activity
creates a firmer tighter
facial tone and less
sagging. DMAE is used
topically to reduce fine
lines and wrinkles showing a
noticeable difference within
20 minutes of application
although not to the extent
of a face lift- we need to
be realistic here.

Hyaluronic Acid: Sodium
Hyaluronate is the sodium
salt of Hyaluronic acid.
Sodium Hyaluronate has a
smaller molecular size than
Hyaluronic acid, causing it
to easily penetrate the
skin's surface, it plays an
important role in tissue
lubrication and hydration,
elasticity and cellular
function. Used as
moisturiser, hyaluronic acid
results in increased
smoothness, softening and
decreased wrinkles. Is an
excellent hydrator and
frequently used during
post-peel procedures to
soothe new skin cells. It is
used extensively by the
cosmetic industry and
dermatologists in anti-aging
moisturising products, as it
absorbs and retains water
over 1000 times its weight.
Our Hyaluronic Acid is
from bacterial fermentation
using glucose that is corn
derived to create the
hyaluronic acid in a
biofermentation process. The
product is still classified
as natural and used in
natural and organic cosmetic
manufacturing.

MARINE
COLLAGEN (seaweed derived)
Our Marine Collagen is
extracted from the natural
seaweed variety Porphyra
tenera with water. It is
enzymatically hydrolyzed to
achieve an average molecular
weight of approximately
1000. It is exclusively
gained from Non-GMO
ingredients and it is free
of any GMO-fragments.
As we age our
supply of collagen is
diminished or degraded
leading to laugh lines and
wrinkles in the skin,
marine
collagen
is rich in
vitamins and essential sea
minerals to
rejuvenates
the skin from beneath the
surface
to help boost collagen
production, stimulates and
reduces the appearance of
deep wrinkles and fine lines
encouraging oxygen through
the skin, increasing
firmness, tone and
elasticity.
Niacinamide (Vitamin
B3) for DNA repair and
energy production.
OLIVE FRUIT
OIL VIRGIN:
Anti-oxidant. Contains high
levels of Omega 9 essential
fatty acids.

naturally occurring
substance (a polyscaccaride)
derived from fruits used in
cosmetics as an emulsifier
and thickening agent, also
used for making jams and
jellies.
PEELMOIST
uses a molecular film technology that optimizes
delivery of Papain, an enzyme that selectively
degrades ONLY the dead or damaged cells from the new
living cells, preserves the natural barrier
function of the epidermis with an immediate and
long lasting hydrating effect due to it's
patented technology called Molecular Film.
PRESERVATIVE SYSTEM:
Phenoxyethanol and
Ethylhexylglycerin
(semi-synthetic
preservative).
-
Phenoxyethanol,
also known as
"rose ether" and in it’s
natural form can be used to
impart a floral note to
fragrances
and is an ingredient that is
found in many products, both
conventional and "green". Developed
as an alternative for
personal care formulations
requiring a paraben and
formaldehyde free preservative.
-
Ethylhexylglycerin
is a glyceryl ether used as
a weak preservative and skin conditioning agent.
-
Because
we use a high percentage of
active ingredients and natural raw
ingredients that have a
higher risk
of microbial contamination,
we need to be sure that our
products are preserved
properly from mould and
bacteria for the safety of
our
customers.
Proline: is a
non-essential amino acid.
This means that it can be
synthesized by the human
body. Aids collagen
formation and helps to
contain the loss of collagen
due to the aging process.
Proline is necessary for the
body to produce cartilage
and collagen.
ROSEHIP OIL
ORGANIC: Rosehip oil
is extremely high in
essential fatty acids and is
known to help treat dry,

cleanses.
RETINYL
PALMITATE:
(Not to be confused with
Retinol) is a less
irritating form of retinol,
it is an ingredient composed
of palmitic acid and retinol
(Vitamin A). Retinyl
palmitate converts into
retinol (or vitamin A),
which in turn is converted
into retinoic acid by
specialized enzymes in the
skin. Retinoic acid
facilitates communication
between cells, encouraging
aging cells to continue
their renewal process.
Encourages cellular
turnover, collagen and
elastin production to
prevent the appearance of
aging skin, fine lines and
wrinkles.
Serine is a
nonessential amino acid and
skin conditioning agent.
SHEA BUTTER
ORGANIC
produced from
the nut of the karite tree
in West Africa, improves
elasticity of the skin,
increases local blood
circulation, improving
elimination of waste.

four due to its waxy nature
and ability to stick-to and
form a film on the skin.
SOY LECITHIN:
lecithin is a natural lipid
that occurs in most living
cells. It consists of
phospholipids of phosphoric
acid, choline, fatty acids,
glycerol, glycolipids, and
triglycerides. It acts as a

all-vegetable protein, GLA
Essential fatty acid,
vitamins, minerals & trace
elements.
VC-IP
(Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)
the
Stabilised form of Vitamin C, stimulates collagen
production, fights free-radical damage, improves
skin tone and texture, fights sun damage and
improves pigmentation problems by inhibiting melano genesis (the
production of pigment) promoting a more
even skin tone.
VITAMIN E
NATURAL (mixed Tocopherals)
is a strong anti-oxidant,
necessary for effective
utilization of oxygen in the
skin tissue at 5% it
improving skin hydration and
plumpness by 36%.

A powerful antioxidant more
powerful than green tea,
protects skin from free
radical damage that causes
premature aging.
Protective tonic for ageing
skin, diminishes the
appearance of wrinkles or
fine lines. Protects from
drying effects of the sun. The polyphenols
in white tea act
as free radical scavengers
soaking up these unstable
molecules before they can
damage the collagen layer.
Green tea extract has also
been shown to soothe, heal
and calm irritated skin.
Witch Hazel: a
soothing and non-drying
natural astringent. It is
recognised for its ability
to tone and calm irritated
and problem skin. Its
