Benefits: Aloe Vera which is the base of this product aids in keeping facial skin supple, and has been used in the control of acne and eczema. It is also used for its antibacterial, anesthetic and antiseptic properties, and is good to use as a tool for restoration of tissue. Aloe penetrates skin, is a natural cleanser and enhances normal cell proliferation. It can relieve itching due to insect bites and allergies. Aloe's healing power comes from increasing the availability of oxygen to the skin, and by increasing the synthesis and strength of tissue.

The extracts in Aloe Manuka gel all have significant benefits in skin care; Bilberry leaf contains anthocyanosides a class of water-soluble chemicals belonging to a larger class of substances known as plant bioflavonoids. Pharmacologically, anthocyanosides are thought to have a stabilizing effect on collagen. Other phenolic compounds found in bilberry (such as tannins and phenolic acids) exhibit a wide range of biological effects including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect.

Calendula has long been considered a detoxifying herb, and helps to treat the toxicity that underlies many fevers and infections and systemic skin disorders such as eczema and acne.

Licorice is healing and has been used for years in treatments for eczema, psoriasis, burns, boils, sores, ulcers, redness of the skin and it is often used in natural skin care formulas.  One of its main components, glycyrrhetinic acid, soothe irritation, reduces inflammation and has a bacteriostatic effect. Licorice neutralizes pollution and ground level ozone that attack hyaluronic acid, proteins and vitamins.

Herbal Luxuries uses superior rated active Manuka Honey from New Zealand with a UMF factor of 19 in our skin care products. The rating of Manuka honey is very important because all Manuka Honey does not possess UMF (unique manuka factor) and must have enough of this bacteria killing property to get at least a 10 rating. Manuka honey with UMF is more effective than honey with hydrogen peroxide against some types of bacteria. It is a potent wound healer, promotes a hydrated healing environment, creates a protective barrier on the skin, clears bacteria, is anti-inflammatory and prevents scarring. Active Manuka honey penetrates the pores of unbroken skin to heal and repair beneath the surface. All these properties make it a potent fighter against acne, other skin conditions and the bacteria that feeds them.

Tea Tree and Lavender are two essential oils that most people recognize due to their long use and effectiveness in natural skin care.

They are potent healers and effective against a wide range of facial skin issues from mild acne to dry skin. Our proprietary blend of pure therapeutic essential oils are safe for your skin and potent healers of skin problems like acne and oily skin.
