Acetylcholine = A white crystalline compound released from the ends of nerve fibers and involved in the transmission of nerve impulses.

Acid mantle / lipid barrier = A protective oily layer on the skin's surface which functions as a protectorate against environmental impurities and helps regulate moisture loss and water retention.

Activated Charcoal = Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. A material attaches itself by chemical attraction and it is adsorbed. The huge surface area of activated charcoal gives it countless bonding sites. Activated charcoal is good at trapping other carbon-based impurities ("organic" chemicals), as well as things like chlorine. Many other chemicals are not attracted to carbon at all -- sodium, nitrates, etc. -- so they pass right through. This means that an activated charcoal filter will remove certain impurities while ignoring others, so it doesn't break down your acid mantle. This makes Activated Charcoal fabulous for acneic skin.

Alginates = Components that provide moisture and elasticity to the skin.

Allantoin (Ureidohydantoi-Comfrey) = Allantoin is an extract of the comfrey plant and is used for its healing, soothing, and anti-irritating properties.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) = Have exfoliation and therapeutic properties which help with, and minimize photo damaged skin, which is a major contributing factor to aging. Apart from ridding the skin of unnecessary dead cells, they also have a moisturizing effect on the skin, by increasing the moisture content of the upper skin and so smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, as well as reducing dryness and combating flakiness. Long-term use of low concentration AHA's can also increase collagen and elastin synthesis, and also boost protein regeneration in the skin. Alpha Hydroxy Acids used include: Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid and Glycolic Acid. Naturally AHA's occur in Bilberry Extract, Lemon Extract, Orange Extract, Sugar Cane Extract and Sugar Maple Extract. in Youth Serum

Alpha Lipoic Acid (Thioctic Acid) = Powerful antioxidant that is active against a broad spectrum of free radicals in both water as well as oil surroundings. It is readily transported through cellular membranes and helps to recycle other antioxidants. For instance, when vitamin Equenches lipid peroxidation, and a vitamin E radical is formed, alpha lipoic acid will reduce it back to the active state of vitamin E. The same reaction occurs in the presence of the antioxidant,
vitamin C. Human cell consists of various parts, and these parts are either water or lipid based. Alpha Lipoic Acid this can work to protect against free radical damage. If the concentration and presence of free radicals can be contained within the cell, far less oxidative stress and damage will be caused to the skin. This will result in aging being retarded at cellular level, as oxidative stress is
one of the leading causes of wrinkles. in Youth Serum

Aloe Juice = Used to relieve burning, itching, minor cuts, and first and second degree burns. Recent studies indicate that Aloe Vera has the ability to accelerate cell growth in the skin, by penetrating the skin and stimulating the immune system & increasing blood circulation.

An intriguing finding in some DMAE studies was that it reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin deposits inside cells. It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin and pore tightening. However, it remains
unclear how DMAE firms the skin -- whether by stabilizing the membranes, boosting acetylcholine, reducing lipofuscin deposits or none of the above.

It creates a visco-elastic solution that fills the spaces between the collagen fibers in the dermis. It can penetrate the stratum corneum, because of the molecular weight and create a protective film comparable to the epidermal structure. Scientific tests and biopsies have shown increased glycosaminoglycans (amino) sugars made hyaluronic acid in the dermis, as well as increased hydration and better elasticity of the skin.

Polysorbate 20 = Excellent non-ionic emulsifier enabling water & oil to mix. Solubilizer and stabilizer of essential oils

Our supplier uses Polysorbate 20 as an emulsifier for our water based products because it is the gentlest version of all the Polysorbates. However, Polysorbate 20 may not be the most effective emulsifier on the market. Because of this our toners, astringents, body mists and splashes might have some separation that occurs from time to time. Some essential oils will vary from batch to batch and cause separation in one batch but not in another batch. Citrus and lavender essential oils are the most common essential oils to separate from the base. Since want to produce the best and safest products on the market, it is true that in some cases we chose to compromise the appearance of the finished product in order to not compromise in safety for our consumers. Polysorbate 20 is nonionic which is critical when you are using essential oils. It does not disrupt the properties of the essential oils by creating ionic bonds which are formed when two or more atoms give up electrons. A nonionic bond does not borrow electrons which is preferable when using essential oils.
