Active Ingredient:

Sulfur (9%) – a mineral derived from volcanic ash in powder form. It destroys bacteria causing acne. Sulfur is sometimes called “nature’s beauty mineral” since it is found in keratin (protein) that strengthens skin and is needed for synthesis of collagen (protein) that helps keep skin elastic and healthy. It disinfects the blood, helps the body to resist bacteria and protects the protoplasm of cells. Sulfur aids in necessary oxidation reactions in the body, stimulates bile secretion and protects against toxic substances. Because of its ability to protect against harmful effects of radiation and pollution, sulfur slows the aging process.

Inactive Ingredients:

Aloe Barbadensis leaf extract - acts as an antibacterial, an emollient, heals wounds and stimulates cell regeneration. Also reduces inflammation and increases blood circulation.

Black Currant seed oil - contains large amounts of Vitamin C (stimulates collagen synthesis and potentiates immunity against infection, antioxidant which protect cells against attack by free radicals.). In addition, it is one of the few oils derived from plants which contain any stearidonic acid (anti-inflammatory activity). Stearidonic acid reduces the amounts of prostaglandins, and thus a kind of pre-inflammatory state which can be induced by various forms of stress (e.g.: pollution and UV radiation) is moderated.

Borage seed oil - contains high levels of ÿ Linolenic acid (25%), has strong protective, hydrating and regenerative activities with respect to cell membranes. Rich in other essential fatty acids, Borage seed oil plays a vital role in normal cellular function. It acts as an adrenal tonic and gland balancer. Its properties give it a wide spectrum of activity; regenerates the skin barrier, has a moisturizing action and soothes.

Emu (Dromaius) oil – very moisturizing. It has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory properties and cell restorative properties. Due to a very high concentration of oleic acid, emu oil is able to carry compounds through the skin and it will not clog the pores. Emu oil is a significant wound healing agent that provides essential fatty acids. Stimulates the skin’s immune system and reduces recent keloid scarring.

Goldenseal root extract - fights infection and inflammation and is a natural antibiotic that strengthens the immune system.

Hazel nut oil - is rich in phospholipids, Vitamin E and Oleic acid (75%). Oleic acid is one of the fundamental, essential fatty acids and is a basic building block for plasma membranes which protect cells from their harsh external environment. Hazel nut oil has the ability to carry compounds through the skin. It contains significant amounts of phyto squalene in the sterols parts which is particularly valuable because it is one of the main constituents of human sebum. This makes this oil very useful in the treatment of dry skin which is deficient in lipids. Natural phospholipids give the oil excellent moisturizing activity. Hazelnut oil is suitable for products designed for skin that is acne prone.

Kiwi seed oil – the fatty acid composition of this oil is very similar to that of human sebum, therefore it is recommended to preserve optimum skin sebum composition, to provide skin softness, hydration and protection. It is the richest sources of Vitamin C, Omega 3 and Omega 6. Kiwi seed oil is unique due to its ability to protect, hydrate, regenerate and nourish the skin as well as purify.

Retinol - is an anti-oxidant, a compound that may protect against disease by neutralizing unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals) within the body. Retinol also maintains the health of the skin (prevents acne and dermatitis) and defends against infection.

Salicylic acid - has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties and is also used to stimulate circulation.

Tea tree oil – a solution derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree or Tea Tree plant with broad spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities. Tee tree oil has perfect penetrating properties. Clinical trials prove the oil’s healing effectiveness against acne.

d-a Tocopherol - Vitamin E - a powerful anti-oxidant in the skin that is important for tissue repair. It strengthens capillary walls and maintains healthy cells by eliminating harmful free radicals generated in the course of cell metabolism.

Zinc oxide (essential mineral) - regulates the activity of oil glands and is required for protein, DNA and RNA synthesis and collagen formation. It has a mild astringent and antiseptic action, also is an effective preservative.
