As part of an ongoing series, this week we are bringing you Sweet Almond Oil, another one of our extremely effective organic product ingredients. We use this ingredient in nearly every product we make! It is our mission and goal to provide convincing evidence that truly natural products are not only the most healthy choice for you and your family (and the planet!) but also when done correctly, the MOST EFFECTIVE choice. In fact, Modern Science is proving on a daily basis that some of the most effective medicine and healing components are already being manufactured by Mother Nature!
In Summary: We have put together an extensive Ingredient Glossary on our website @ http://www.tevaskincare.com/our-ingredients/, which lists every ingredient we use, in every product we make.
Every ingredient we use has it's own Unique story. Each ingredient page tells the History, Origins & Source, INCI (Official International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient Name), Uses (both Modern and Ancient), as well as the Scientifically Proven Active Compounds and Research Study results.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Dulcis) Like so many of our Clinically proven Botanical Active Ingredients, Almond Oil dates back to Ancient times, with the Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Greeks all mentioning it extensively in their writings. The bible, including the book of Genesis mentions Almond Trees and fruit dozens of times!
It is
thought that the Romans introduced the trees into England where they
were cultivated and used as a precious trade items all throughout
Europe. Aside from the obvious food value (The Romans believed that
Almonds had the power to prevent intoxication and so ate them all
throughout lengthy state banquets in order to avoid public drunkeness)
Sweet Almond Oil is an extremely valuable part of Natural Skin &
Hair Care.
Rich in minerals such as magnesium, copper, manganese, calcium, and
potassium, coupled with fatty compounds like linoleic acid and oleic
acid, as well as vitamin E & K, which are all vital building blocks
for the skin,
Almond oil has been an integral part of Ayurvedic
medicines and used in other purposes since 5000 years in India. Almond
oil also helps promote better circulation, and is easily absorbed deep
into the dermis.
The
Anti-Oxidant** PolyPhenol (phyto-nutrients) compounds contained in the
oil help facilitate cellular turnover, which in turn promotes collagen
building and increased elasticity, leading decreased fine lines and
wrinkles.
It has also been demonstrated to reduce or prevent
hyperpigmentation (darkening) caused by excessive exposure to sunlight,
esp. as the skin ages. It has been used traditionally in Ayurveda to
help reduce dark circles around the eyes, probably because it has the
ability to help thicken the collagen layer, which renders the veins
beneath the skin less visible.
**ANTIOXIDANT DEFINITION:
Antioxidants are just what the name implies, ie; they help reverse,
slow down or prevent cellular oxidation. We call this cellular "rust,"
as
oxidation is what causes the breakdown/decomposition of everything on the earth..
even something as impervious as iron to degrade and break down over
time. Imagine what it can do to your skin and hair... Actually you
don't have to imagine, as the evidence for the aging process is all
around us.
