Today we know that the leaves contain salicylic acid, which helps with oily skin, as well as has a moisturising capability that works well on dry, sensitive skin. Non-irritating, blue violet is great for all skin types, as it naturally hydrates while fighting oily skin.
Cleansing: Natural properties make this the perfect ingredient for oily skin formulas, as well as for eyewashes, mouthwashes, and other products made to help cleanse from dirt, oils and impurities.

All these benefits have been encapsulated into the Rice Bran Oil, through a special infusion process. Therefore the full skincare benefits of Rice Bran Oil are also enjoyed. (see above). Sesame Oil - Refined Sesame oil has the following properties, which help to make it a beneficial oil for your skin:
Antioxidant. This means it has the ability to combat damage by free radicals, or unstable molecules that can harm the cellular structure of your skin.
Antimicrobial. This means it can kill harmful microorganisms or stop their growth.
Anti-inflammatory. This means it can reduce inflammation and swelling.
Non-comedogenic oil. This means it does not clog the pores of the skin, so is very good for acne-prone or oily skin. On the comedogenic scale, it is 1 out of 5.
Macadamia Oil - A richly hydrating oil excellent for restoring dry and dehydrated skin to supple and healthy looking skin. Very protective and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. It has good levels of Omega 7 which is not very common in vegetable oils; therefore it will hydrate the skin very well and lock moisture in to keep it supple and flexible. It is anti inflammatory and helps to soothe dry and irritated skin conditions restoring elasticity and comfort to the area.
Also, palmitoleic acid, which is found in young people’s skin, diminish drastically as we age. Macadamia Nut Oil is a rich source of this antioxidant acid and tones aged or very dry skin to restore a youthful appearance. It decreases the depth of wrinkles by cellular regeneration and also diminishes rough skin. Bulgarian Rose Water - Beautiful and Rich Bulgarian Rose Water without any added alcohol. Rose Floral water is a natural ingredient for use with your skincare product to make an excellent natural toner or as an ingredient in creams and lotions
The Rose Water I use comes direct from the Bulgarian Valley of Roses, Bulgarian Rose Water is soothing, stimulates the regeneration of the skin, is hydrating, refreshing, and naturally fragrant.

Enhancing the penetration of other ingredients into skin’s uppermost layers

It calms redness and irritation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
Here’s a quote from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman “Glycerine is great because it appeals to a wide variety of skin types and works well with most skin regimens. It provides light moisturisation that soothes sensitive skin, relieves dryness, and doesn’t clog pores.”
Pseudo Collagen – unlike other types of collagen, which are animal-based and injected into the skin, this is from plants, and gently penetrates the skin to encourage the uptake of collagen. When used in conjunction with Co-Enzyme Q10, it enables the body to produce and make new collagen. This, in turn, improves the elasticity of the skin, and the appearance, accordingly, thus highly beneficial in anti-ageing and healing products. Co-Enzyme Q10– protects the skin from free radical damage, including sun damage. Contains a powerful combination of antioxidants. It is most effective when used in conjunction with Vitamin E, and Pseudo Collagen. Protects against environmental pollution from Ozone and UV Rays, Highly regenerative, so excellent in healing creams and lotions. Particularly good for use in products for correcting pigmentation issues.
Vitamin E - An extremely effective antioxidant that can extend the shelf life of your creams and lotions by slowing down oxidation. Excellent to use on the skin for its ability to reduce free radical damage. It comprises of a mixture of alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols sourced from cereal germ, including soya and wheat. Due to the processing procedure, the resulting product is Gluten Free. It is combined with Sunflower Seed Oil to make it pourable. It is completely non GMO. It is typically 50% to 75% mixed tocopherols and 25% to 50% Sunflower Seed Oil. Alpha Tocopherol versus Mixed Tocopherols:- There are many different types of vitamin E but the most commonly known are alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols, and alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocotrienols. Alpha tocopherol is probably the best known of all. Alpha tocopherol can be produced synthetically in a lab and although the synthetic type is effective as an antioxidant, it is widely accepted that Natural Vitamin E works more efficiently. Although Alpha tocopherol has for a long time been the type of Vitamin E considered to be the one that is most easily synthesised by the body when taken as a vitamin supplement, it is now believed that other types of vitamin E are equally important, and in some cases, more so. When different types of tocopherols are mixed together they work synergistically to give a highly efficient antioxidant effect both on the skin and in products. The interaction of the tocopherols is complex, however, too much alpha tocopherol appears to have the opposite effect and can sometimes speed up the process of oxidation and lower the effectiveness of the other types of tocopherol. That is why in mixed tocopherols you will find that the amount of alpha tocopherol is typically low.. The Natural Vitamin E I use contains a maximum of 14% alpha tocopherol.
Preservative 12 - A versatile and effective, broad spectrum preservative suitable for leave on and rinse off formulations. It is not animal sourced, is Palm Free, is gluten free, formaldehyde free, vegan and biodegradable.
