Urea

Manufactured urea is currently the backbone of our formulations and has been used in therapeutic topical preparations since 1906. Urea has been a part of natural medicine since biblical times. Urea which is found in every cell does not cause irritation because it is the final product of metabolism and is not changed in the body. Urea is the natural way the body hydrates cells. It causes hard dry skin cells to "unpack" and expose their water binding sites so they hang on to water. Urea binds water by absorbing it into its crystalline structure. This enables the cell to absorb and retain additional moisture longer. Urea exposes skin protein’s hydrophobic interior to absorb water. Eighty percent of topically applied urea reaches the deep (horny) layer of skin. This way urea 9 increases and promotes the penetration and liberation of therapeutic compounds. Urea was the best penetration enhancer when compared to several other compounds . This mechanism can be used to deliver desirable skin treatments into skin.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids

We include lactic acid and malic acids (both are alpha hydroxy acids) in our formulas. Lactic acid is derived from milk while malic acid is from apples. They help enable the new basal skin layer to rebuild into a naturally occlusive barrier. This new, intact, homogeneous skin displaces the old dry rough cells through a process called exfoliation. This “new skin” feels very smooth and elastic. Alpha hydroxy acids enhance the skin's natural barrier to keep moisture in and infectious agents out.

Allantoin is a by-product of urea. It is considered an effective anti-irritant that gives this compound anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties which improve wound healing.

Copper Peptides and zinc, help develop the elastin fibers that support skin structure, firm the skin to help restore skin elasticity and thickness.

Zinc is a skin-friendly mineral important if you have acne. In fact, sometimes acne itself is a symptom of a zinc deficiency. Used topically, zinc works to clear skin by taming oil production and may be effective in controlling the formation of acne lesions or help clear those already on your skin sooner. Copper Peptides and zinc, help develop the elastin fibres that support skin structure, firm the skin to help restore skin elasticity and thickness.Top

Neem, from India is a traditional topical remedy like aloe in its healing properties. Neem has been reported as effective on a wide range of serious skin disorders including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis and scabies.

Moisturizers containing neem treat wrinkles and repair dry skin by functioning as a natural skin protectant. Neem applied to the skin replenishes missing oil to help skin retain water and helps stimulate collagen production.

Papain This enzyme from the tropical fruit papaya helps eliminate build-up in pores by reducing excess dead skin.

Silk Protein (Silk Amino Acid) is exracted from raw silk. Silk Protein contains alanine, glycine and serine, which are cited as the protein (collagen) stimulants in our skin and hair. A natural water-soluble source of acid derived from liquid silk; these acids help moisture penetrate the skin and aid skin in water absorption and healing.

Tea Tree oil - Tea tree oil is a traditional antimicrobial popular in Australia. Recently studies have investigated the susceptibility of a range of skin flora to tea tree oil. These results suggest that tea tree oil may be useful in removing transient skin flora while suppressing but maintaining resident flora necessary for healthy skin.

Yucca is thought to help minor cuts and scrapes because its saponin component may be anti-inflammatory, yucca may also help to relieve itching and swelling from insect bites, sunburn, and other minor skin insults.
