Natural herbal and homeopathic combination remedy to support healthy, youthful skin from within

The skin is flexible, waterproof and covers the entire outside of the body. It performs several important roles such as a sensory mechanism for feeling sensations such as heat, cold, as well as socio-sexual and emotional sensations. It regulates body temperature and prevents tissue fluid loss from the body. Fluid loss in the skin leads to dry skin and a wrinkled appearance.

The skin is made up of three layers – the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the thin outermost layer of the skin that serves as a waterproof barrier to the environment. Under the epidermis is a thicker layer of skin called the dermis that contains collagen and elastin to keep the skin firm and flexible (giving it a supple appearance). Deeper in the dermis are sweat glands that connect to the surface of the skin through narrow, spiral-shaped sweat ducts – these are called the pores of the skin. The sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance called sebum that moisturizes the skin (keeping it soft). The subcutaneous layer, also referred to as the subcutis, is a layer of fat and connective tissue that consists of larger blood vessels and nerves. This layer regulates the temperature of the skin itself and the body while protecting other organs from injury by acting as a ‘shock absorber’.

For many years people have made use of synthetic ingredients and chemicals in skincare and cosmetics. Nowadays, people are becoming more proactive about their health and there is an increasing demand for pure, natural products for skincare and cosmetics.

Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support healthy, supple and firm skin from within. Herbs have also been shown to support the skin through scavenging abilities on free-radicals and by possessing anti-oxidant properties. (Stajner, D., Popovic, B. M., Canadanovic-Brunet, J., and Boza, P. “Free radical scavenging activity of three Equisetum species from Fruska gora mountain”. Fitoterapia 2006;77(7-8):601-604)(Ho CT, Wang M, Wei GJ, Huang TC, Huang MT. “Chemistry and anti-oxidative factors in rosemary and sage”. Biofactors , 2000;13(1-4):161-166).

• Spirulina - Spirulina contains phenolic acids, tocopherols, and beta-carotene, which are known to exhibit antioxidant properties (Miranda, M. S., Cintra, R. G., Barros, S. B., and Mancini, Filho J. “Antioxidant activity of the microalga Spirulina maxima”. Braz.J Med Biol Res 1998;31(8):1075-1079.)
• Taraxacum officinalis (Dandelion) was commonly used in Native American medicine and is found in many parts of the world today. It contains bitter principles and is a very rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins A, D, C, and B and iron, silicon, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It is also known to support natural fluid balance in the body. Dandelion has also been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties (Hu, C. and Kitts, D. D. “Antioxidant, prooxidant, and cytotoxic activities of solvent-fractionated dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) flower extracts in vitro”. J Agric.Food Chem. 1-1-2003;51(1):301-310.)
• Equisetum arvense (Horsetail) has been used since the time of the Ancient Greeks. It is rich in minerals, especially silica, which is an important part of all connective tissues in the body, as well as the skin. One study found Horsetail to posess scavenging ability on free-radicals, known to negatively affect skin health. (Stajner, D., Popovic, B. M., Canadanovic-Brunet, J., and Boza, P. “Free radical scavenging activity of three Equisetum species from Fruska gora mountain”. Fitoterapia 2006;77(7-8):601-604)
• Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) is well-known in modern herbalism as an all round tonic and energizer. Studies have also suggested that Rosemary may have beneficial properties for body cells with regards to oxidation of cells. (Ho CT, Wang M, Wei GJ, Huang TC, Huang MT. “Chemistry and anti-oxidative factors in rosemary and sage”. Biofactors , 2000;13(1-4):161-166).
• Kali sulph D6 - is a biochemic tissue salt that supports the distribution of oxygen throughout the body and to each individual cell and helps to maintain health in all cell membranes, supporting the natural regenerative processes of the skin. Kali sulph. is also of great benefit in the maintenance of healthy skin.
• Silicea D6 – used to address matters of the skin, such as a dull lackluster complexion.
