Marine Algae - All species of marine algae are rich in minerals, vitamins, amino acids and micronutrients. The use of algae has been associated with many skin-nourishing benefits including skin cell regeneration. It is especially known for its humectant hydrating quality of holding water in skin. It also energizes skin cells - increasing blood flow at the skin's surface to help draw out impurities.
Marine Algae Complex (Chlorella vulgaris and Laminaria digitata) - Microalgae, Chlorella vulgaris containing a high level of amino acids, is blended with extracted polysaccharides of the brown algae Laminaria digitata and seawater mineral ions to form a superior, proven skin hydrating moisturizing agent. This works in two ways. First, the blend of sea nutrients restores and maintains the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) found in the stratum corneum layer of the skin. The NMF composed of the water-soluble substances amino acids (40%), organic acids, urea and mineral ions, “fixes” water in skin cells. Secondly, it helps to restructure the moisture barrier which helps prevent water loss from skin. Studies show that this Marine Algae Complex increases hydration by 200% in the whole epidermis with maintenance of a deep moisturizing effect lasting at least seven days from the time of application of a skin care product.
Melissa Essential Oil - Also known as "lemon balm," Melissa purifies skin and helps calm skin. Its aroma has a wonderful uplifting and refreshing effect that boosts the spirit.
Mineral Ash - The Rainforest soil is rich with naturally occurring mineral composites, which are absorbed by plants. Our special Lluvia™ processing reduces the plants’ cellulose to an alkaline mineral ash that energizes and refines the skin.
Non GMO Soya Lecithin - Natural plant phospholipids from non-GMO (not genetically modified) soybeans. The many uses of phospholipids in cosmetic products include superior skin restorative agents, and moisturizers that enhance the health of the skin’s natural moisture barrier that prevents the loss of water from the skin. Lecithin has the remarkable ability to penetrate the epidermis (top layer of the skin) and carry substances to the cellular level providing a natural delivery system in skin.
Olive Squalane - A unique antioxidant from olives that protects skin and the oils in Lluvia™ products from free-radical damage. This effect helps reduce skin damage caused by the environment including sun related photo aging. Loaded with fatty acids, its composition closely matches human sebum. This facilitates easy, rapid penetration assuring delivery of moisture and nutrients to skin tissues. It enhances skin elasticity and moisture retention.
Oregano Essential Oil Concentrate - One of the most powerful soothing essential oils, it is an excellent natural preservative for skin care products when formulated in combination with other similar oils.
Organic Essential Oils - The inclusion of selected essential oils enhances the therapeutic value of each individual product. The oils penetrate tissues immediately and efficiently, facilitating a more effective delivery system in skin care products. Due to this quality, it is optimal that the oils used are organic. They are also responsible for the esthetic, aromatic effects of the products.
Passion Flower (Maracuja) Seed Oil - A powerful source of bioflavonoids, Passion Flower Seed Oil strengthens tissue and promotes sebum regulation which balances oil secretion in skin. It is rich in fatty acids including up to 77% linoleic fatty acid and provides soothing, moderate moisturizing benefits. This beautiful Rainforest plant contains a full profile of potassium and vitamins A, B and C, essential to healthy skin.
Pectin - Pectin is a natural substance obtained from vegetables and fruits. It is used in skin care products as an emulsifier and thickener.
Peppermint Essential Oil - An aromatic refreshing, energizing oil that stimulates circulation in skin and has antimicrobial properties.
Plant Carbohydrate Complex - A blend of plant sugars containing a high level of mucopolysaccharides which have a strong ability to hold water in skin.
Quinoa Extract (Chenopodium) - Quinoa is filled with essential fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic and oleic) along with amino acids, saponins, minerals (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and zinc) and vitamins (thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin) which are all important for healthy skin structure.
Red Marine Algae (Ahnfeltia concinna) - Algae was the first living form on our planet and provides one third of the planet’s oxygen. Studies confirm that Red Marine Algae helps to stimulate DNA activating fibroblast cells. Benefits include anti-aging, skin regeneration and restructuring. High in the amino acid proline, it supports collagen structure and promotes greater suppleness, elasticity, firmness and less sagging of the skin. It also enhances skin smoothness, reduces fine surface lines, improves skin hydration and moisturization and provides superior skin soothing properties.
Retinyl Palmitate - Retinyl palmitate, also known as vitamin A palmitate, is derived from palm oil and converted to retinoic acid inside skin cells. It is known as a skin "normalizer.” It acts as an antikeratinizing agent, helping the skin stay soft and plump. Clinical studies with vitamin A palmitate indicate a significant change in skin composition with increases in collagen, DNA, skin thickness, and elasticity. Topical application of retinyl palmitate is a pragmatic strategy for loading the skin with retinol (vitamin A). Cosmetic formulations containing retinyl palmitate are substantially more stable than those containing retinol. Furthermore, retinyl palmitate readily penetrates into the epidermis and dermis whereas other forms of vitamin A do not.
