So would you rather put on your skin water from the pure mountains of Croatia or from some public municipal system?
Grape seed oil is obtained from the seeds of the grape plant, Vitis vinifera. Grape seed oil is a preferred cosmetic ingredient for control of skin moisturization and is a powerful antioxidant with anti-aging properties. It is easily absorbed into the skin and is known for its ability to lock in moisture, leaving your skin feeling more supple and smooth. Grape seed oil is high in linoleic acid, which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, acne reductive, and moisture retentive properties 6,7,and 8.
Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the sunflower, Helianthus annuus. Its function in the Day Cream is as a skin-conditioning agent and is part of the Day Cream emollient mixture designed to make the external layers of the skin softer and more pliable by increasing hydration and reducing evaporation. Sunflower seed oil is also believed to have skin protecting benefits. In fact, a study determined infants receiving a daily skin treatment of sunflower oil were 41% less likely to develop infections in the hospital.

Lanolin cera is a type of lanolin wax that is a hypoallergenic form of lanolin. This is due to its high grade and complex purification techniques. Lanolin is extracted from sheep’s wool prior to the purification process. There is a common misconception that lanolin is an animal fat, when in fact, it is a wax. We use lanolin cera as a skin protectant, emulsifying agent, and a skin conditioner. It is also part of our special emollient mixture designed to make the external layers of the skin softer and more pliable by increasing hydration and reducing evaporation. Lanolin is a natural substance that has been imitated frequently by synthetic ingredients that are, unfortunately, decreasing lanolin’s use. The FDA has encouraged producers to use Lanolin instead of unexamined and threatening chemical substitutes.
No, we don’t have to check your I.D. before you buy our products! Cetearyl alcohol is very different than what we refer to as “alcohol” and is commonly referred to as herbal wax. In chemical terms, alcohols are defined by their special and unique formations of different molecules, in the alcohol used for drinking one of those molecules is ethanol. Our herbal wax holds the specific molecule formation for alcohol, but does not hold ethanol. It is a mixture of cetyl and stearyl fatty alcohols that can come from vegetables or synthetic sources. Of course, ours comes from natural vegetable sources (coconut and palm kernel oil). It is used in skin care as an emulsion stabilizer and to increase viscosity. Herbal wax is part of our special emollient mixture designed to make the external layers of the skin softer and more pliable by increasing hydration and reducing evaporation.
Pomegranate seed oil is extracted from the seeds of Punica Granatum and is used to add moisture and nutrients to the skin. A study showed pomegranate seed oil to be a safe and effective chemopreventive agent against skin cancer. Pomegranate seed oil has been shown to promote proliferation of skin cells, pro-collagen synthesis, and inhibit matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP1), also known as collagenase-1, production. MMP1 breaks down collagen causing its destruction and incremental loss, resulting in aged, thin, and wrinkled skin.
Raspberry seed oil is a fixed oil obtained from the seeds of Rubus idaeus and is a skin-conditioning agent. It is an excellent antioxidant and high in vitamin E. It has superior anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to have positive effects on eczema, rash, and other skin lesions. Raspberry seed oil may act as a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB shield and have properties similar to those found in sun screens. Please note: we do not claim the Day Cream to be a sunscreen and caution should be exercised when exposing the skin to sun.
Spirulina Extract is an extract of the alga, Spirulina platensis. It has skin protecting properties. It supplies proteins and other vitamin nutrients to the skin.
Sambucus Nigra Fruit Extract is an extract of the berries of the elder, Sambucus nigra.

Rosemary leaf extract is used in our skin care products as a natural antimicrobial agent and skin conditioning agent. It is also rich in compounds known to be antioxidants, such as carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid. Our Rosemary leaf extract is processed using supercritical CO2 extraction, which is superior to conventional extraction methods where toxic chemicals might be used. CO2 extraction is the only kind to extract all the nutrients of an herb.
Beeswax is the purified wax from the honeycomb of the bee, Apis mellifera. It is used as a natural emulsifying agent and is also a skin conditioning agent. Beeswax acts as a barrier to hold moisture in the skin but it is breathable and doesn’t block pores. It doesn’t go rancid so it doesn’t need special preservatives. One German study found beeswax to be superior to similar "barrier creams" (usually mineral oil based creams, such as petroleum jelly). Allergies to beeswax are uncommon, but those people with bee pollen or propolis allergies should use caution.
Zeolites are microporous minerals with a unique “honeycomb like” structure. Natural zeolites form where volcanic rocks and ash layers react with alkaline groundwater.

Sesame seeds are pressed to obtain the pale yellow oil, which contains fatty acids that can work to protect your skin. These fatty acids (which include linoleic, palmitic, oleic and stearic acids) are an important part of the Night Cream’s emollient mixture designed to make the external layers of the skin softer and more pliable by increasing hydration and reducing evaporation. Sesame seed oil helps form a barrier on the skin’s surface and holds moisture in for younger looking skin. Sesame Seed Oil was specifically selected for use in the Night Cream as a study found topical application can have a calming effect and improve sleep patterns.
Jojoba oil is extracted from seeds of the desert shrub, Simmondsia chinensis, native to California, Arizona and Mexico. While it is referred to as an oil, it is actually a wax ester. This wax ester is similar to human sebum (the oil produced by skin). Experts believe the similarity helps to stabilize the skin’s own oil production. This ingredient also plays an important part of the Night Cream’s emollient mixture designed to make the external layers of the skin softer and more pliable by increasing hydration and reducing evaporation. Jojoba seed oil is part of what gives the Night Cream its “shiny” look. It is known to keep moisture inside the skin longer than any other substance.
