Anti-Ageing Ethos
To understand more you have to get “under the skin” – it’s like a battle ground with the free radicals trying to outgun the antioxidants (free radicals cause ageing to cells and antioxidants slow this down dramatically).
Very few other skincare products contain enough antioxidants to really make an impact.
In fact many big brands have no antioxidants and may even contain chemicals which are themselves free radicals.
That is why you see so many people who, although they use skincare products daily, have signs of pre-mature ageing occurring.
How The Kits Work
Firstly, by neutralising any further damage of free radicals and the largest amounts are from the sun (Note: SPF’s do not really protect you from them);
Secondly, by strengthening the hydro lipid film, which keeps skin supple and which few other skincare brands provide; indeed many chemicals used in other skincare products actually remove this important film on the skin;
Thirdly, the oils used are full of the most natural vitamins, proteins, omegas, vitamins, proteins minerals and beta carotene which in turn aid skin regeneration and collagen production.
The delivery system of the Anti-Ageing products is unique; massage the oil of your choice into the skin first and then apply a cream over the top. This traps the oil leaving a matt finish – still allowing you to apply make-up if you wish.
If you have particularly dry skin, apply the oil to wet/damp skin then apply the cream over the top.
We recommend you use the two products in the morning, after cleansing, to give you protection all day from free radicals and UVA light.
At night, after cleansing, apply a little oil then the cream, particularly around the eyes.
Using the Face Wash is hugely beneficial as it contains the ingredient ‘nanocrystalline cellulose’ which is recognised as being the biggest breakthrough in skin healing in centuries.
Also advisable is to exfoliate at least once a week with the Konjac Sponge whilst cleansing with the Cleanser/Toner routine or Face Wash.
Results
See your skin lift and become alive with a fresh and youthful appearance and a soft feel to the touch. The formulations contain the actives to stimulate collagen in the skin, even plumping and building up the skin which is just what is needed as you get older.

Hair Products
Hair loss or thinning of hair affects over 50% of women, the statistic is higher in men. Maintenance of blow drying, straightening, styling and dyeing the hair can take its’ toll on our hair but one of the main reasons we find hair becomes damaged, brittle and broken is the shampoo used!
Shampoos cause the most damage to hair because washing it every day or so alters the natural ‘pH’ of hair and using shampoos that contain harsh chemicals, artificial fragrances and silicones means that you are clogging up your hair follicles and preventing the hair from repairing itself, inhibiting healthy hair growth and covering the hair with a synthetic build up. You find these damaging ingredients in high street and even professional brands so it does not matter if you are using a £1 or even a £50 shampoo because they often contain the same harsh chemicals.
The shampoos do not contain damaging chemicals such as you will find in 99% of other brands; only very essential oils are used…and they are great for your hair!!
Vital Oils (found in all the oil products in the range) are an excellent conditioning tonic treatment if you use a small amount after washing your hair: simply flick a tiny amount through the strands (too much will leave your hair oily) and you will be treating it to a perfect alternative to heavy conditioners. Read on for recommended treatment.
Once a week a deep Vital Oil treatment can make a huge difference to the condition of your hair – even to thinning hair! Apply the oil to the hair, scalp and ends then cover with a towel for an hour, to allow the oils to soak in, then wash out with one of our shampoos. Or, apply the oil before going to bed and leave in overnight (protecting bed linen from the oil). You will find the condition of your hair improves massively, with less broken, brittle, damaged strands and noticeable improvement in hair growth.
Remember! The oils come in 200ml containers so you can also use them after showering as a body oil and in the bath for a deep moisturising soak which is especially beneficial for those with dry skin.
Skin Protection – Development Through Nature
Vital Oils and Essential Oils are known to reverse and repair damage to the skin.
So, the products are formulated using these unique ingredients, allowing the body to help itself naturally, without the use of harsh damaging chemicals.
The benefits of the products can be broken down into three scientific aspects.
Chemical Free
Without the use of chemicals to cause stimulation you are reducing the risk factor in damaging the skin with an artificial synthetic reaction. This makes the products healthier and more beneficial.
Biodynamic
The benefit of natural plant extracts and oils is their biodynamic properties; they cause a biological reaction to stimulate better growth in cells.
Vital oils contain vitamins, minerals and protein the skin organ needs to maintain healthy cell growth (amino acids).
Essential Oils stimulate the cells, a stimulation which encourages the organ and cells to repair themselves.
Free Radical
The formulations do not contain any free radicals, so they avoid free radical damage, preventing damage similarly caused by pollution, chemicals and sun damage.
Antioxidants only come from natural oils thus our vital oils act as antioxidants.
The Biggest Breakthrough In Anti-Ageing
Janelle Tam, from Ontario, won first place in the National 2012 Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada (SBCC) “How will you change the world?” Competition with her application for nanocrystalline cellulose; selected by an impressed panel of eminent Canadian scientists assembled at the Ottawa headquarters of the National Research Council of Canada.
Nanocrystalline Cellulose is a substance from plants only recently discovered to show that it is a powerful antioxidant, and, it has been found, may be superior to Vitamin C or E because it is more stable and its effectiveness will not diminish as quickly.
“This is really a hot field of research in Canada” says Janelle, who notes that antioxidants have anti-ageing and health promotion properties, including wound healing, since they neutralise free radicals that damage or kill cells making the products super-charged free radical neutralisers.
We offer the only truly natural skincare range that contains this ingredient.
Unadulterated…even better than Organic! What can be better than organic? Unadulterated means the raw material ingredients are not mixed, diluted or have any extra elements added after farming; the ingredients are complete and absolute…as they should be.
Unadulterated essential and vital oils possess not only their active ingredients, but also secondary plant metabolites and trace compounds which aid the healing properties.
Different botanical regions offer different environmental conditions: soil, climate, altitude are among the factors that affect the plant and its metabolic constituents.
Even the way the plant is harvested and distilled can affect the qualities of the oil so that makes using unadulterated raw materials in the products even more vital.
Most of the unadulterated oils are organically certified as well!
Thus, you get the purest and most beneficial ingredients in all of the products.
Naturopathic
A 100% bio-natural product with no synthetic bases, petro-chemicals or any harsh chemicals added. This type of product brings ‘state of the art’ understanding to natural dermatology creating a ‘self-repairing’ effect to damaged skin. It delivers antioxidants in large amounts which neutralise the main source of damage to cells and collagen in the skin.
Therapeutic grade natural oils are added to improve skin repair, bringing healthy order to confused tissue and cells.
Natural Sun Protection
Sunscreen has become a highly contentious issue for so many! Skin cancer, premature ageing, thickening of the skin and damage to collagen are all now blamed on UVA light; whereas a few years ago it was considered harmless.
UVA light is the main source of free radicals which cause such damage so research and development in protecting our skin is paramount. Recent findings have indicated a possible link between allergies and nut oils thus none are used in the products.
Special formulae of many different vital oils have been created to work in a variety of ways including strengthening the hydro-lipid film.
What is the hydro-lipid film ? It is a fatty oil film, an external barrier defending the skin against bacteria and fungi; it keeps the skin supple whilst preventing thickening that you frequently see on people who live in the sun.
Additionally, by combining the world’s foremost Vital Oils the Pre-Sun Oils (natural sun protection) are loaded with Lecithin, Beta-Carotene, Vitamins A, D and E plus Omega-3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. The essential fatty acids, along with Vitamin E, have powerful anti-oxidant properties thus offering the main defence from those dangerous free radicals which are the cause of premature ageing, damage to collagen and certain forms of skin cancers.
Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), the Omega-3 fatty acid in the oil , effective in both prevention and treatment of skin cancer, has also been found effective in skin cell growth and regeneration. It is a great source of lecithin, a yellow fatty substance, which acts as a super emulsifier and lubricant. When applied topically lecithin forms a protective covering on your hair follicles and skin surface preventing loss of moisture caused by wind and climate conditions.
All in all, the combination of many different vital oils in these products give you resistance to the damage from UVA light and will encourage your own melanin (skin colour/tan) to come through.
