NATURAL INGREDIENTS
PURE CARRIER OILS
A carrier oil is a vegetable oil derived from the fatty portion of a plant, usually from the seeds, kernels or
the nuts. The carrier oils used in our skin care products are all extracted by the cold-press method. In this
process the fatty oil portions are extracted and collected without using heat.
Each carrier oil offers a different combination of therapeutic properties and characteristics.
Sweet Almond Oil
Great for all skin types as an acting emollient, it is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and
re-condition the skin. It is exceptionally rich in fatty acids.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Similar to Sweet Almond, but more suitable for sensitive and prematurely aged skin. Apricot Kernel oil contains
the essential fatty acids oleic and linoleic acid. It is also high in vitamins A and E. All of these substances can
help to soothe irritated skin while also moisturizing.
Avocado Oil
Ultra rich oil containing high amounts of Vitamin A, B1, B2, D, and E. Also contains amino acids, sterols,
pantothenic acid, lecithin, and other essential fatty acids. Highly recommended to those with sensitive skin,
problem skin and other irritations that require vitamin rich oil.
Camellia Seed Oil
An excellent anti-oxidant. This oil protects the skin from free radical damage. Camellia oil is a superb
emollient and wonderful skin moisturizer. It helps to restore proper pH balance and has a buffering quality that
acts as an effective shield to protect skin from environmental pollutants. Camellia Oil soothes and calms irritated
skin, and blocks out ultra violet rays.
Hazelnut Oil
Most commonly used in products designed for dry skin, it has essential fatty acids that soothe irritated skin.
Helps tone, tighten and firm the skin's elasticity, stimulates circulation, encourages cell regeneration and
filters UV Rays.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil (a natural wax) is similar to sebum, which is secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and
protect skin. When sebum production decreases due to age, pollutants, or environmental stresses, jojoba oil can be
used to replicate sebum oil. A "must have" for all face cream products.
Sesame Oil
Sesame Oil is rich in vitamins E and B, and in minerals such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. It is an
excellent emollient absorbed quickly through the skin, making the skin look and feel soft and resilient.
Sunflower Oil
An oil wealthy in oleic acids with high amounts of Vitamins A, D, and E, and beneficial amounts of lecithin, and
unsaturated fatty acids. Deeply nourishing and conditioning for the skin, it is highly recommended for dry,
weathered, aged and damaged skin.
