Highlight The Herbs:
The science is clear regarding Green Tea extract and its potent antioxidant protection provided by the polyphenols it contains. Herbal Luxuries uses a standardized Green Tea extract in this lotions' formula that has 90% polyphenols content. Green tea extract polyphenols enhance antioxidant defense systems and the activity of certain antioxidant enzymes. Studies have shown that green tea extract polyphenols are better scavengers of free radicals than vitamins C and E. Numerous studies have shown that green tea extract offers protection against tumor development, by inhibiting harmful carcinogens and nitrosamines which are mutagens. Green tea extract has proven effective in protecting the skin against UV damage and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Organic cold pressed pomegranate seed oil per all data we found is a unique natural product with no equal among all other plant lipids. First by it being cold pressed it retains significant amounts of it natural potent properties. Pomegranate seed oil contains a very rare conjugated fatty acid, or punicic acid which is a potent natural anti-inflammatory anti-aging agent. It also contains significant bioactive compounds and vitamins. Clinical studies have reported that pomegranate extracts selectively inhibited the growth of breast cancer cells in vitro. It has many potent healthy skin and body benefits.

Milk Thistle contains a powerful flavonoid called Silymarin. The flavonoids in milk thistle are effective in neutralizing excess superoxides (free radicals), thereby limiting cellular damage. Milk thistle may also help to protect breast tissue from free radical damage. Silymarin is valued in the treatment of Psoriasis due to its ability to inhibit leukotriene synthesis (leukotrienes have the potential to cause inflammation).

Gingko Biloba is a powerful antioxidant and contributes to the oxidation of free radicals which are believed to contribute to premature aging. Gingko Biloba was found to locally induce SOD (superoxide dismutase) and to catalase enzyme activity in the epidermis after topical application.

Gotu kola affects various stages of tissue development, including keratinization (the process of replacing skin after sores or ulcers), aids in the synthesis of collagen (the first step in tissue repair), the stimulation of hair and nail growth, and support for the repair of cartilage. Gotu kola has been effectively used in the treatment of second and third degree burns. It has been shown to decrease healing time and reduce scar tissue formation.

Aloe Vera has renowned healing properties, anti-inflammatory and can soothe the skin and help heal cuts, grazes, burns and insect bites. Its active constituents actually speed healing by accelerating tissue repair and encouraging normal cell growth.

Highlight The Nutrients:
Gluconolactone – second generation polyhydroxy acid, non-irritating, attracts moisture and forms an occlusive barrier on the skins surface, helps normalize keratinization, has anti photo-aging effects and enhances wound healing.

Lactic Acid – gentle alpha hydroxy acid that speeds cell turnover and moisturizes the skin.

L-Ascorbic Acid - Per the experts this is the only form of vitamin C that you should look for in your skin care products. Vitamin C is the only antioxidant that is proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen as well, which is essential since your body's natural collagen production decreases as you age.

Beta Glucan – polysaccharide that can recognize and kill tumor cells, remove cellular debris resulting from oxidative damage, speed up recovery of damaged tissue, and further activate other components of the immune system.
