Ingredients

Meadowfoam oil 

Double bonded long chain omega 3's give a high degree of oxidative stability.   It forms a semi permeable layer that keeps moisture in the skin while still allowing it to breath (non-comedogenic).   It's high levels of mono-unsaturation and very low levels of poly-unsaturation gives meadowfoam oil great binding capacities and helps other oils penetrate deeper into the skin without any phthalates.   It provides natural UV protection and  also contains potent anti-oxidants..  (this is our 1st ingredient its not cheap and its not water like most other products)

Jojoba

Jojoba isn't actually an oil, rather, it is a very stable wax ester.  It's main claim to fame is its long-chain ester that closely resembles our natural skin sebum.  It also contains myristic acid which is a natural anti-inflammatory agent.  This oil helps balance the skins natural oils (both overproduction and under).  

Evening primrose oil

This oil is unique because it is one of only a few botanicals that contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA).  GLA is an essential fatty acid in the omega 6 group that is used by our bodies to produce the vital prostaglandin e1 (pge1) which help inhibit or reduce inflammation, cholesterol synthesis, and formation of abnormal cells (including cancer cells).  Research has demonstrated that GLA can slow the growth of tumors and help improve the efficiency of certain anti-cancer drugs.  This oil is also widely used to relieve itchiness caused by many different skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Avocado oil

What avocado oil brings to the table is its rich content of vitamins.   This amazing oil is full of vitamins A,B,D and E that enable it to heal and soothe our skin.  It also contains a high concentration of hydrocarbons which is quite useful for dry skin and when combined with jojoba and meadowfoam it penetrates deeper into the skin than it would when used separately.

Red Grape seed oil (Merlot)

This light and easily absorbed oil is also quite therapeutic.   Merlot seed oil can help stimulate skin tissue regeneration in the body.  It's full of vitamins C,E and is a natural astringent so it helps tighten the skin. Grape seed oil also helps to minimize under eye circles and prevents pores from clogging.
