L

Laminaria japonica (Kelp) inner leaf

• Brown seaweed rich in bioactive compounds.
• Source of naturally occurring chelating agents (polysaccharides and iodine), carotenoids, amino acids, enzymes, minerals, and vitamins.

• Cleansing properties and the gel-like texture that allows BUJÓRI cleansers to glide on the skin, limiting the mechanical action exerted on the skin surface.
• Its naturally occurring chelating agents bind to toxins and heavy metals for easy removal.
• Iodine, an organic, essential mineral, promotes a clear complexion through its cleansing and healing properties.
• Mucilage helps to maintain the skin’s natural moisture and protective barrier.

• Clinical studies show that lipids extracted from flax seeds restore the skin barrier and prevent oxidation.
• Soothing effect on the skin, enhancing skin hydration by preventing moisture loss.
• Integrates in the skin’s uppermost layers with ease.

• Lipids are fatty, waxy, or oily compounds, such as triglycerides, fatty acids, phospholipids, waxes, squalene, and cholesterol. They are an essential component of the cell membrane and the skin’s lipid matrix.
• Fatty acids are lipid molecules that are bound in triglycerides, such as omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9. They are naturally occurring lipids in the epidermis.
• Bioactive compounds are plant metabolites, such as amino acids, carotenoids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), phytosterols, phospholipids (lecithin), polyphenols, and squalene.

• Maintain the epidermal structure and functions  – the permeability, microbial, immune response, and photo-protective barriers.
• Keep the skin hydrated, supple, and youthful.

M

• Source of over 120 chemical constituents, predominantly phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, and coumarins.

• Research shows that chamomile compounds inhibit inflammation, oxidation, and disease causing bacterial and fungal growth; promote wound healing; have skin soothing and cleansing properties.

• Source of Magnesium, Potassium, Manganese, Calcium, Sulfur, Phosphate, Zinc, Selenium, Silica, Sodium, Copper, and other minerals in trace amounts.

• Research shows that minerals are operative in the skin, supporting specific skin processes.

• A rich source of flavonols (quercetin and kaempferol), and phenolic acids (chlorogenic acid).

• Inhibit oxidation, protecting the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals.
• Calming and soothing effect on irritated skin.

• Source of vitamin A derivatives (retinoic acid and tretinoin), omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids.

• Contributes to skin barrier repair.
• Inhibits oxidation, inflammation, and skin aging; has skin-lightening properties.

• Source of a high concentration of flavonoids, polyphenols, and terpenes.

• Improves blood circulation in the skin.
• Research shows that it has several benefits in topical application: inhibits inflammation and oxidation, promotes wound-healing, soothes irritated skin, protects against UV irradiation, and prevents disease causing bacterial growth.

S

Sapindus mukorossi (Reetha) fruit saponins

• Abundant source of saponins, sugars, and mucilage.
• Saponins are non-ionic bio-surfactants of plant origin with cleansing and foaming properties that dissolve quickly in water and lather into a beautiful foam.

• Fruit saponins are ideal skin cleansing ingredients.
• Sugars and mucilage have moisture retaining properties, and function as chelating agents that bind to toxins and heavy metals for easy removal.

• Abundant source of rare docosahexaenoic (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) omega-3 fatty acids, carotenoids, and tocopherols.

• Contributes to skin barrier formation and maintenance.
• Promotes wound healing and suppresses inflammation.
• Research shows that it attenuates the UV-response by modulating the UVR-induced inflammatory response in the skin.

• A great source of silibinin (flavanolignan), amino acids, minerals, flavonoids, omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, palmitic and stearic fatty acids.

• Research shows that the unique compounds in milk thistle seed lipids are very effective oxidation inhibitors that protect cells from becoming damaged by UV radiation; an inhibitory effect on enzymes that degrade collagen; the ability to interrupt pathways in the skin that lead to discolorations on skin’s surface; and the ability to address environmental stressors.
