.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Here we outline some of the ingredients used in the creation of Angel & Weightman® skincare products. We pride ourselves on  creating combinations of ingredients that restore vigour and health to the skin. Algae Algae is used to help add and maintain moisture in the skin (it often captures moisture in the air and draws it into the skin) and increase collagen density improving skin's elasticity. Our  red algae, gathered off the shores of the Hawaiian Islands, increases cellular turnover and helps new cells organize more evenly, making skin more supple and smooth. Amino Acids Water soluble crystalline electrolytes that link together to form proteins. They help to build cells, repair tissue and regulate cell function. Amino acids activate and utilize vitamins and nutrients, and carry oxygen to cells. Most essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body, therefore, they must be consumed or applied topically. Antioxidants Protect skin from damage by slowing down the oxidation (aging) process and preventing free radicals  (scavengers of cells in the environment) from attacking healthy cells. Antioxidants work synergistically, therefore it is more beneficial to use smaller doses of several different antioxidants than a large amount of only one. Botanicals A vegetable blend prepared from bark, roots, and herbs, which soothes, heals and nourishes the skin and hair. Our plant ingredients are specifically chosen to serve various functions on the skin:   Enzymes Enzymes increase cellular turnover rate and cellular division, Hydrolyzed Wheat Proteins Proteins that are easily absorbed by the skin. Lipids Lipids are organic compounds consisting of fats and oils which are important components in living cells. Oils such as Quinoa and Borage consist of carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins all of which are essential for the skin. Lotus oil is a profound and powerful essence traditionally used for spiritual energy, balance, and purification. Lotus oil is harvested from a small lake in India and the oil distillation process must take place within 5 hours of harvesting the flower. Natural Acids These acids are natural exfoliators which are used to remove dead skin cells and renew the dermis. Acids that are natural derivatives from citrus fruits(citric), wintergreen leaves (salicylic), apples (malic), rice bran (kojic), and milk (latic). Minerals Inorganic compounds needed by plants and animals for enzyme creation, metabolic processes, and proper growth and functioning. Copper, Silver, and Gold are traditionally used as anti-bacterial agents. These minerals are most often applied topically to fight off bacteria and fungus and prevent scarring, inflammation and hyperpigmentation. Vitamins Vitamins are complex organic substances necessary for the regulation of metabolism and the normal growth and function of cells. Vitamins A, C and E are anti-oxidants. Vitamins which are also antioxidants make for the best protection against free-radicals. Most vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body and must be supplied by diet or topically. ©2012 Angel & Weightman Anti Aging Specialist treatments ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
