Organic Carrot Oil provides extraordinary skin protection and conditioning benefits derived from the high quantities of oil soluble carotenoids that it contains. Carotenoids are a class of easily assimilated antioxidants. Antioxidants protect human cells from harmful free-radical attack. Free-radicals are stray oxygen molecules that attack healthy cell walls and react with polyunsaturated fats to create a chain reaction of unlimited free-radical regeneration. Free-radicals are produced by a wide range of environmental pollutants, including UVR. If left unchecked by antioxidants, free-radicals damage both the structure and function of cell membranes, resulting in premature aging, cancer and an array of degenerative diseases.

Kukuinut Oil a natural plant extract native to Hawaii and has been used by Hawaiians for centuries to protect and nourish skin which was exposed to the effects of sun, wind and salt water. They found that regular use softened and nourished dry skin and generally improved the complexion.

B-Carotene the GOOD Vitamin A : UVA exposure causes premature aging by an increase of oxidative stress in skin. In a study using human skin cells, the researchers found that beta-carotene suppressed UVA-induction of  enzymes which are key to degradation of the extracellular matrix during premature skin aging.  Scientists showed that UVA rapidly destroys beta-carotene in the cells, indicating that the carotenoid has to be replenished after sun light exposure. *ALERT!  We have been using Botanical Beta Carotene Vitamin A for nearly two decades. Recent articles about the dangers of Vitamin A, have caused some alarm and much confusion. The lab results published refer solely to Retinyl Palmitate Vitamin A, a CHEMICAL COMPOUND and its CHEMICAL REACTIONS. There are NO dangers with Beta Carotene, actually, quite the opposite.

Lecithin is a fatlike substance called a phospholipid. It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes; without it, they would harden. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and has magnificent moisturizing properties. The phospholipids naturally present in lecithin are able to attract water from the air, and in doing so, increase hydration. This makes it excellent for mature, dry, or overworked skin. It also has the unique ability to deeply penetrate the skin, and carry substances directly to the cells and the bloodstream. Combined with other natural and healing ingredients Lecithin would actually bring those beneficial properties to the cellular level.

Tocopherol Acetate (Vitamin E) Researchers have concluded that ozone pollution rapidly pares away Vitamin E from the thin surface layer skin, called the "stratum corneum." The stratum corneum's role is to help prevent pollutants and other chemicals from entering the body. With a reduction in the strength of this barrier, free radicals gain an easy porthole into the body. The researchers also concluded that the depletion of vitamin E could expose important skin fat molecules to pollution. The destruction of these `lipids,' regulators of matter streaming into and out of the skin, could aggravate skin ailments. Oxidation, or the aging process of the skin, occurs primarily because UV light stimulates the production of free radicals. In its own defense, the body manufactures natural antioxidants. However, aging and sun exposure make the body's sustained fight against UV rays more and more difficult. As a result, the free-radical damage can lead not only to older-looking skin, but also to potential skin cancer. Studies suggest that topical vitamin E application sent the skin extra vitamin E protection reducing skin damage caused by UV rays. Because antioxidants absorb radiation not neutralized by sunscreens, vitamin E increases their protection and lessens the damaging effects of solar UV radiation. Vitamin E does more than protect skin from the sun. Studies show topical vitamin E improves skin moisture by offsetting dryness caused by aging and environmental factors.
