BOTANICAL EXTRACTS & ACTIVES
Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract - An antioxidant rich active botanical extracted from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Because of its high polyphenol content, Green Tea contributes many benefits to the skin, such as:
• Tones the epidermis and improves elasticity.
• Inhibits the enzyme (collagenase) that causes the degredation of collagen; improving collagen retention. Collagen is the tough fiber located in the dermis and gives our skin its strength, structure, firmness, and bounce.
• Protects the skin from environmental free radical damage and UV radiation.
• Minimizes the appearance of skin damage, fine lines, sagging and cellulite.
• Hydrates and soothes inflamed, irritated skin.
• Provides a photo-protective effect, great when combines with sunscreen.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil - A skin softening emollient that is rich in Vitamin A, B, C and the predominate fatty acid, linoleic acid. Linoleic acid works to soothe & calm irritated skin and help it to synthesize lipids like ceramides, allowing the skin to repair its barrier. A healthy skin barrier prevents water loss and the permeation of foreign substances.
Glycerin - A versatile humectant produced from plant oils that attracts and holds moisture onto the skin, reducing water loss and improving the skin barrier. Glycerin increases the solubility of active ingredients, allowing the skin to more readily absorb them. This humectant has a low molecular weight and is able to penetrate deeper into the dermis, producing supple, plump, hydrated skin.
Coco Glucoside - A gentle non-ionic surfactant with cleansing and conditioning properties, derived from coconut oil and glucose (sugar). Coco Glucoside breaks up and lifts oils and dirt from the skin. It shares the qualities of coconut oil, as such it does not strip and dry out the skin.
