A free radical scavenger with vitamins, enzymes, proteins that support cellular structure. New research identifies many valuable properties in fresh young coconuts which are what we use.
	Damiana (turnera diffusa ) Male and female sexual stimulation-leaves used as an aphrodisiac to boost sexual potency by the native Mexicans (Mayan Indians)Helps manage asthma, depression, impotence and menstrual problems. Damiana exhibits greater antioxidative activity (77%) than alpha-tocopherol (58%). Phenolic compounds (good for skin) may be responsible for this antioxidant capacity. It will calm you and make you very sexy.

	Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s) Essential fatty acids (EFA’s) are the precursors for a group of chemically related compounds, (prostaglandins) that are synthesized in the body from EFA’s. If EFA’s are not supplied to the body, the body cannot synthesize prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are largely responsible for regulating many body processes: heart and brain circulation, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and hormone production, to name a few.
	Ginger (zingiber officinalis) Stimulates circulation and calms nerves. Can arrest headache. Ginger is a good lip plumper as well as an excellent detoxifier
	Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) The natural way to preserve cosmetics. GSE is an ideal antiseptic alternative. Products that use alcohol or iodine can be effective germ killers, but their toxic nature may retard the growth of granulation tissue which is required to heal a wound. GSE appears to encourage the process of healing, perhaps because of its astringency and vegetable origins.
	Grape Seed Oil (vitis vinafera) Grapeseed oil is high in vitamin E and is 76% essential fatty acid, linoleic acid (also known as Omega 6). It is low in saturated fat, contains natural chlorophyll and valuable antioxidants (known as proanthocyninidins), and has a good shelf life. Very rich in vitamins, minerals and linoleic acid.

Recommended for spider veins, broken blood vessels and capillary strength.
	Honey contains a high content of minerals, amino acids and vitamins, plentiful phenolic and non-phenolic antioxidants. High content of glucose oxidase, an enzyme, helps skin heal faster. It is yummy in our Shimmer Polish treatments for its viscosity, and its emollient and water retaining properties.
	Jojoba (simmondsia chinensis) Composition most like sebum (skin) makes this "wax" a versatile, effective ingredient. Naturally moisturizing and resistant to oxidation, it staves off wrinkles and is helpful in treating conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema and other conditions. Creates partially occlusive lipid layer preventing water loss while absorbing rapidly through the skin with quick delivery of other essential ingredients that nourish and soften tissues.
	Kaolin (silicate mineral) A soft, white or sometimes colored clay that is quite common and used in cosmetics as a facial mask that absorbs toxins and tightens pores.
	Lavender (lavendula officinalis) an immunity stimulant known to normalize skin and treat so many problems it is hardly believable!

	Meadowfoam Oil (limnanthes alba) High (98%) content of long chain fatty acids make this seed oil a very stable carrier oil useful in cosmetic applications. It has higher quality triglyceride levels than other vegetable oils, containing three previously unknown long chain EFA’s. It lends its stable properties when blended with other oils thereby making it one of the most valuable additions to cosmetics.
	Muira Puama (ptychopetalum olacoides) is a herb traditionally used as an aphrodisiac by men and women. Muira Puama boosts and prolongs performance and enhances virility. Muira Puama may also help with stress management, nervous system stimulation, genital weakness, impotence, and overall health. Stimulating!
	Passion Flower (passiflora incarnata) Passion Flower is an anti-inflammatory and produces an immediate calming effect. It is used on bruises and on infected or inflammed skin. It is also an aphrodisiac. Passionflower contains a chemical called benzoflavone which blocks the aromatase enzymes that degrade steroids like testosterone and estrogen. Benzoflavone restores sexual potency and has a relaxing effect that works on the same receptors as pharmaceuticals like valium and xanax, without dependency, impaired coordination and memory loss often seen with the pharmaceuticals.
	Pomegranate Oil (punicum granatum) Its high concentration of flavonoids and abundant phytoestrogens contribute to anti-cancer and age defying claims associated with pomegranate seed oil. Used for centuries, it restores balance and soothes dry, cracked and irritated skin. It has three times more antioxidants than green tea and suppresses the ravaging effects of free radicals to retard aging of the skin.
	Poppy Seed Oil (eschscholzia californica) Active in alkaloids, calcium and protein. Pollen used by American Indians as cosmetic. Light and luscious oil pressed from seeds of hardy wild flower is good for headache, nervous tension and sexual dysfunction. Also used to relieve pain (muscle pain, shivers, headaches and in flus) and as a sedative for insomnia.
	Rice Bran Oil (oryza sativa) Rice Bran Oil appears to be the richest source of tocopherols and tocotrienols (a unique antioxidant known as gamma oryzanol), plus high quantities of phytosterols, polyphenols and squalene which are high potency EFA’s and therefore a rich source of antioxidants and micronutrients. Light oil from the rice kernel is one of the best free radical scavengers. Ferulic acid further increases anti-oxidant activity as it absorbs UV rays and thereby blocks some of the negative effects of sun exposure.
	Rose Hip Oil (rosa rubigosa) Transretinoic acids in rose hips contribute to skin regenerative properties. Highly prized for its ability to fight wrinkles and reduce scars, it revitalizes the dermis and remedies sun damage. It’s high content of essential fatty acids combat free radical damage. Rose Hip Oil contains abundant skin healing vitamins.
	Sea Salt The healing powers of Dead Sea Salt have been known for ages. Curative, calming, cleansing, we use fine crystals in Shimmer Polish to create a salt-glow home spa treatment to be used in the shower for exfoliation and other benefits. Incredibly edible – your body will thank you.
	Shea Butter (African Shea Karite) A tree that must be at least 15 years old to grow nuts from which come the butter that heals so many skin conditions without side effects. Restores elasticity, absorbs easily (no clogging problems), goes deeply, and is high in Vit. A and E for healing and Vit. F for protection. Contains high levels of cinnamic acid, a natural sun screen.
	Soy Lecithin Most performance benefits of lecithin come from the unique surface-active properties of phospholipids. As molecules, phospholipids contain hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements. The hydrophobic portion has an affinity for fats and oils. The hydrophilic portion has an affinity for water. Together they allow a bond between the two.
	Vegetable Glycerin This deliciously sweet, clear, colorless and odorless syrup is a natural source ingredient with emollient properties that soften and soothe outer skin layers while retaining moisture. Vegetable glycerin is very versatile as a skin care ingredient, soluble in both water and alcohol. It is made from raw vegetable oils where water absorbs the glycerol from the fatty acids through heat, water and pressure. Beware of products that contain propylene glycol, (also known as polyethylene (PEG) or polypropylene (PPG) glycols) found in many skin and hair products. These substances are not good for you.
	Vitamin E The term vitamin E describes a family of eight antioxidants, four tocopherols, alpha-, beta-gamma- and delta-, and four tocotrienols (also alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-). Alpha-tocopherol is an anti-oxidant. The fat-soluble vitamin, alpha-tocopherol, intercepts free radicals and prevents lipid destruction. Maintains the integrity of cell membranes throughout the body, alpha-tocopherol also protects lipoproteins (LDLs) from oxidation. Lipoproteins transport fats through the blood stream. We use it as a natural preservative.
	White Willow Bark (salix alba) Beta-hydroxy acids Increases skin cell turnover, helps eczema and psoriasis, is anti-inflammatory and important for sun damaged skin. Fights p.acnes and is a gentle and thorough cleanser. Also good for headaches, fever and arthritis.
	Yohimbe (pausinystalia johimbe) Yohimbe is made from the bark of a West African tree, The bark contains a synergisitc combination of indole alkaloids, with yohimbine being the most predominate. Yohimbe is used for enhancing libido, for weight loss, and for bodybuilding. Yohimbine is also used in the pharmaceutical industry for male impotency. Some Yohimbe is not effective. The bark must be from the Pausinystalia variety. The extract is used, not the powder form. Many herbal supplements contain the powder form.
