| Honey |
All-natural honey has been used as a beauty product
since the days of Cleopatra and it continues to be used today in
manufactured and homemade products for skin and hair care. Honey is a
natural humectant, which means it has the ability to attract and retain
moisture. The skin’s ability to stay moist (or hydrated) is an important
factor in its ability to maintain softness, suppleness and elasticity. As
skin ages, or as it is exposed to environmental stresses and chemical
agents, it loses its ability to retain water; it becomes dry and appears
wrinkled. Honey’s natural hydrating properties make it ideal for use in
moisturizing products. Because it’s all natural and doesn't irritate the
skin, honey is also suitable for sensitive skin products. |

magical properties in restoring moisture and repairing skin damaged by sun,
pollution and chemicals. Jojoba contains vitamins E and B-complex, silicon,
chromium, copper, zinc, and is rich in iodine.
Jojoba oil does not clog the skin. It is suspected that jojoba oil "tricks"
the skin into stopping the production of sebum through somehow mimicking
sebum. This also means that jojoba oil will assist in breaking down sebum in
plugged-up pores. Sebum and jojoba oil will mix readily without sealing off
the skin pores. Jojoba oil will not cause blackheads that contribute to
acne. Jojoba oil is non-irritating. Another remarkable property is that

in the skin and promotes soft and supple skin. As an antioxidant it defends
the skin. Helpful in reducing scars and promotes healing. Obtained by the
vacuum distillation of edible vegetable oils. Vitamin E oil is an emollient.
As an antioxidant it is believed to remove the free radicals that cells
produce. Free radicals have been associated with skin cancer and premature
skin aging due to sun exposure. Some experts believe antioxidants are the
most vital weapons in the fight against aging. Most of the damage of our
skin is caused by a free-radical assault from smoke, pollution and UV rays.
Free radicals then turn the oils of our skin rancid, which damages the
collagen. Collagen is the protein fibers that serve as the building blocks
of our skin. Antioxidants are used in skin care products to neutralize free
radicals before they ravage the skin. |
