Aloe Vera Oil: Vitamins A (beta-carotene), C, and E, which are great antioxidants for skin care and health.
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil contains vitamin E. One of the other major antioxidant oils in this formulation. It also hydrates the skin and helps it retain its moisture. It may also help reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and have antibacterial properties. Researchers are looking at coconut oil as a possible topical treatment for chronic skin inflammation.
Copper: Copper peptides work as an antioxidant, promote collagen and elastin production, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Copper is also an anti-inflammatory that speeds up wound healing, meaning it's excellent for treating scarring, pigmentation, and redness caused by inflammation.
Flavonoids: Flavonoids are multi-active components used in everyday cosmetics primarily for antioxidant and soothing actions. Despite this, their multi-active properties are far from being fully utilized. It is well known that many flavonoids provide protection from telangiectasias.
Folic Acid: Stimulates your skin to produce more collagen, your skin's main structural protein. More collagen means firmer skin – making you appear younger by reducing the signs of premature aging. Further, folic acid benefits for the skin include a reduction in sun damage to the skin when exposed to UV rays.
Iron: As a critical mineral in the production of hemoglobin, iron also helps with optimizing the skin's wound-healing function and minimizing the appearance of bruises. Hair, skin, and nails require iron to retain their natural luster, shine, and moisture.
Jojoba Oil: Vitamins A, B, E, omega-3 fatty acids, copper, zinc, and flavonoids. The formulation works together to protect the skin from the effects of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress causes premature aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Magnesium: Helps to ensure your skin is armored against external damage as it regulates cellular regeneration and repair. Every day your skin is under attack from free radicals. This is one of the most essential magnesium benefits for skin and hair because it actively helps your skin in terms of protection and recovery.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids: Helps regulate the skin's oil production, improve balanced hydration, subdue breakouts, and minimizes the signs of aging. Omega-3s can also help soften rough, dry skin, and have a soothing effect on irritation and dermatitis.
Selenium: A mineral that ensures skin remains firm and protected. Selenium stops free radical damage before premature wrinkles have a chance to form. It also helps to protect cell membranes against UV damage, inflammation, and pigmentation.
SPF: SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and the number beside it indicates how well the sunscreen protects the skin against sunburn. It is not an indicator of how long you can stay out in the sun; rather, it indicates how much longer it takes untanned skin to start to redden with sunscreen applied compared to how long it takes to start reddening without it.
Vitamin A: Helps to speed up healing and prevent breakouts. As a Vitamin crucial to skincare, it also helps support the skin's immune system while promoting natural moisturization - which means it helps hydrate the skin effectively, giving it a radiant glow. It also assists in promoting and maintaining a healthy dermis and epidermis, the top two layers of your skin.
Vitamin B: Offers softening of the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Vitamin C: Helps to slow early skin aging, prevent sun damage, and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. Too many benefits to list. Dr. Kerry Organics moisturizing oil is great for all skin textures.
