Preservatives
Preservatives protect the integrity and effectiveness of ingredients in a product. Our preservative combination, Phenoxyethanol and EDTA is used at 1% or less.
Parabens
Parabens are preservatives. The most common are Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, Benzylparaben, Isobutylparaben, and Butylparaben. According to an EPA study parabens displayed estrogenic activity in several tests, which means the chemicals mimic your body's own hormones and can have endocrine-disrupting action. Parabens are a widely used preservative and are found in food, pharmaceuticals, deodorants, and cosmetics.

DMAE + Vitamin B5 Masque
DMAE is an amazing nutrient that extends the life of cells, inhibits the cross linking of proteins, which gives the skin a tone and firm appearance. The firm appearance that DMAE can bring to the skin occurs within about 20 minutes and wears off by the end of the day. DMAE has become very popular as a result of Dr. Nicholas Perricone, M.D.'s top-selling books in which he promotes supplementing with DMAE as a treatment for reducing wrinkles. When applied to the skin DMAE would stimulate acetylcholine release which would trigger a response in the muscles of the face. This activity creates firmer facial tone and less sagging.
Our multi-purpose Masques can be used as a hydrating masque or a light moisturizer. It works wonderfully under the eyes and all over the face and neck. As a masque, leave on five to twenty minutes, then rinse. For skin types: Mature, Sensitive, Dry, Normal, and Combination. 92% Organic Content.
