Ingredients.

We use only the best and pure raw materials from the vegetable kingdom for production of our lotions. We are proud of this, and therefore it is no secret, of what our lotions consists. Below is a description of all the ingredients we use in different amounts in our lotions.

Sanguinaria Canadensis..
The lotion contains ingredient (SANGUINARINE) that protect against skin cancer. It enhances the production of proteins that make cells damaged by ultraviolet B radiation self destruct.
It also limits skin cell production of proteins that help cancer cells thrive.
It fights infection and have anti-wrinkle effect. Read more.

Alcohol Denat.

Amyl Cinnamal.

Aqua.
Demoralized water. Purified for micro bacteriologic organisms to keep the lotion clean and free of eventually water bacteria. The purifying process also extends the shelf life.

Aloe Barbadensis.
Aloe Vera. 99,9% Aloe Vera juice made of ecological grown Aloe Vera plants. Has an exceptional oxygenating quality, which means its ability to draw and keep oxygen to the skin is great. This makes it a very effective cell-regenerating ingredient. Aloe Vera has the same pH value as the skin, which gives an extreme healing, smoothing and moisturizing effect.

Benzyl Salicylate.

Beta-carotene.
Beta-carotene is extracted from vegetables and fruits and is converted into A-vitamin in the body. Scientists see beta-carotene as an effective antioxidant for preventing cancer and circulatory diseases. It gives the skin the ability to better tolerate sun exposure.

Bio-Retinol.

Butylpenyl Methylpropional.

Carthamus tinctorius.
Oil from the plant thistle, rich in E-vitamins. Maintains the flexibility and the softness of the skin. Safflower oil is from an annual plant that is native to Mediterranean countries. It is also grown in Europe and the United States. It can be obtained by pressing or a solvent extraction. Safflower has one of the highest linoleic acid (70%) contents of all oils. The moisture content of human skin is proportional to the content of essential unsaturated fatty acids. Wonderfully moisturizing.

Cetearyl Alcohol.
Cetearyl alcohol is a fat-alcohol extracted from palm and coco oil. It is used as an emollient and viscosity-increasing agent in emulsions.

Citronellol.

Copper Acetyl Tyrosinate Methylsolanol

Curcumin.
Found in the spice turmeric, interferes with melanoma cells.
Tests in laboratory dishes show that curcumin made melanoma skin cancer cells more likely to self-destruct in a process known as apoptosis. A nother study found that in laboratory, curcumin can actually repair DNA that has been damaged by radiation. Earlier research has also shown that curcumin, which acts as an antioxidant, can help prevent tumors from forming in the laboratory.

Diazolidinyl Urea.

Eugenol. Causes melanoma growth suppression through inhibition of E2F1 transcriptional activity. Metastatic malignant melanoma is an extremely aggressive cancer, with no currently viable therapy. 4-Allyl-2-methoxyphenol (eugenol) was tested for its ability to inhibit proliferation of melanoma cells. Eugenol but not its isomer, isoeugenol (2-methoxy-4-propenylphenol), was found to be a potent inhibitor of melanoma cell proliferation. In a B16 xenograft study, eugenol treatment produced a significant tumor growth delay (p = 0.0057), an almost 40% decrease in tumor size, and a 19% increase in the median time to end point. More significantly, 50% of the animals in the control group died from metastatic growth, whereas none in the treatment group showed any signs of invasion or metastasis.Read more.

Geraniol. Anti cancer agent.

Glycerine.
This humectant protects and seals moisture on the skin surface. It is widely used in products as a moisturizing agent. Extracted as a by-product in soap manufacture.

Glyceryl monostearate.
This ingredient derived from palm kernel oil is used for its emulsifying and moisturizing properties. It is a monoester of Glycerine and Stearic Acid.

Grape seed extract.
Grape Seed Extract is a potent extract from grape seeds, which are rich in flavonoids, specifically oligomeric proanthocyanidins (or OPC's). OPCs are widely distributed in plants, being found in cocoa, chocolate, apples, peanuts, almonds, cranberries, blueberries, and in the bark of pines, among other plants. OPCs from grape seed are considered strong free radical fighters - 15 to 25 times stronger than Vitamin E. Interestingly, proanthocyanodins are one of only a few antioxidants that cross the blood brain barrier. Promising preliminary research indicates that grape seed extract can by beneficial in improving night vision. They may help prevent the damage to cells by free radicals and stabilizes collagen and maintains the health of elastin. OPCs are considered beneficial to cardiovascular and circulatory health. In addition to antioxidant activity, proanthocyanidins from grape seed extract may have anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and anti-atherogenic activities. Research has shown anti-tumor promoting activity with topic grape seed proanthocyanidins -- both topically for skin cancer and internally for things like breast and lung cancer.

Green tea extract.
Studies conducted by the University of Murcia in Spain and the John Innes Center in Norwich, England have discovered that green tea can prevent cancer cells from growing. Green tea contains a compound called EGCG. The EGCG stops cancer cells from growing by binding with an enzyme, called dihydrofolate reductase, in the body. Scientists have also found that the structure of EGCG is very similar to to a cancer drug called methotrexate. They discovered that EGCG kills cancer cells in the same way that the cancer drug does.

Hexyl Cinnamal.

Hydrolyzed silk.
Free amino acids hydrolyzed from pure silk fibers, penetrate to bind moisture in skin and hair. Silk is a natural fiber, obtained from the cocoon of Bombyx More, high in protein. Silk amino acids function as hair and skin conditioning agents. Gives the skin a fantastic soft feeling.

Linalool.

Methyl Nicotinate.
Methyl Nicotinate is an ester of methyl alcohol and nicotinic acid. Despite the name it has nothing to do with nicotine. It increases microcirculation and imparts a warm "tingling" effect. The microcirculation appears as a red flushing that occurs due to the increased blood flow to the skin and will add colour to the skin.

Lycopene.
The tomato uses lycopene to protect itself from burning as it ripens in the sun and we humans can benefit from it in a similar way. Lycopene may reduce the damaging effects UV light can have on the skin and can boost protection against both the short term (sunburn), and cumulative effects of sun exposure (skin cancers). Once again, studies have shown that while UV light leaves skin betacarotene levels unaffected, it significantly depletes lycopene levels, demonstrating that lycopene may be working to reduce UV induced skin damage. Lycopene may also improve 'safe tanning' by increasing the levels of melanin (our skin pigment), with and without sun exposure, and can extend the life of a tan.

Paraben.
This is a cosmetic preservative that has anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties. Totally harmless to the body.

Panthenol.
Panthenol is Pro-Vitamin B5, which is part of the B-complex group. It is essential in the synthesis of lipids and proteins. Panthenol is used as a deep-penetrating skin moisturizer.

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Perfum.
Also known as fragrance, this ingredient provides esthetic and sometimes aromatherapeutic benefits to a product. It can consist of natural ethereal oils or natural identical pheromones.

Pomegranate fruit extract. Can block skin tumor formation in mice exposed to a cancer-causing agent. Read more.

Propylene Glycol.

Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate.
Fat of lactic acid. Viscosity-increasing agent for creams and lotions, and also works as a moisturizer. Vegetable extracted.

Tocopherol.
Better known as Vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps block lipid peroxidation in cells and tissues. It will help neutralize free radicals to prevent and diminish fine lines and wrinkles while it also softens skin and moisturizes from within
