Olive Leaf Oil is extracted from the leaves of the olive tree. Phenolic compounds present in olive leaves have strong free-radical scavenging capacity to help skin against environmental damage. Olive Leaf Oil is a conditioning humectant with calming properties. It participates in the cleansing process with a purifying, antiseptic action.

Aloe Vera from leaf juice is a very popular ingredient in our Body Essence products. Aloe vera is derived from the gel of the cactus-like Aloe plant which is native to Africa. It is an incredible skin moisturizer that helps to keep skin supple by delivering oxygen to the cells, thereby increasing the synthesis and strength of skin tissue. Research shows that aloe vera can improve the skin's ability to hydrate itself, aids in the removal of dead skin cells and has an effective penetrating ability that helps transport healthy substances through the skin's epidermis.

We use Green, White and Black (Oolong) Tea Extracts in many of our Body Essence formulas due to their potent anti-inflammatory properties and ability to offer superior protection to the skin from free radical damage. They are a rich source of polyphenols--active phytochemical ingredients that promote anti-aging. We use a combination of these teas to harness the diverse range of polyphenols that are unique to each variety. In addition to the powerful antioxidant activity of these teas, they also provide skin toning effects.

We also like the refreshing, sweet, tropical fragrance that it imparts to our formulas.

These herbs typically provide excellent antioxidant activity and have soothing, calming effects on the skin. They are also effective in stimulating skin circulation to accelerate the healing process. Organic versions of these herbs are infused in our Body Essence Organics product line.

Honey is one of the most perfect skin care ingredients! It is an excellent humectant that attracts and retains water. It can create a watertight barrier, allowing the skin to rehydrate itself. It is incredibly nourishing, since it is a complex ingredient rich in sugars, wax, enzymes, amino acids and vitamins. Honey generates a natural antiseptic, antibacterial activity. It is a sweet and fragrant addition to many of our formulas, leaving skin softened and moisturized.

Mango Butter is obtained from the seed kernels of the mango tree. Mango Butter is prized as an excellent emollient that can help prevent dryness and wrinkle formation as a result of sun exposure.

Sunflower Seed Oil contains beneficial amounts of Phospholipids, which are terrific humectants with hygroscopic properties (they attract moisture from the air). This oil also provides beneficial effects for environmentally-damaged skin, such as skin over-exposed to the sun and wind. Sunflower Seed Oil helps protect the skin's top layer because its use in our lotion helps regenerate the phospholipid content.

We use Triclosan and Triclosan Beads in our Antibacterial Hand Lotions as an anti-bacterial ingredient. As part of our moisturizing lotion formulations, its effectiveness is enhanced because of its germ-fighting properties that linger long after the lotion is applied.

Vitamins A, C and E are antioxidants that can promote the restoration of skin cells damaged by free radicals. Together, these vitamins can act as a natural preservative of optimum skin conditions. In addition, Vitamin A has healing, anti-inflammatory properties, and it is essential for tissue repair by helping to accelerate the formation of healthy new skin cells. Vitamin C has a role in wrinkle defense because it is a vital component in the formation of collagen--an essential structural skin protein. Vitamin E has been shown to be effective as an anti-aging wrinkle-fighting agent. Like Vitamin C, Vitamin E can soothe damaged, dry skin.

Wheat Germ Oil is found in the best skin care products, including our Antibacterial Lotions. It is a natural source of Vitamins E, A and, D, proteins and lecithin.
