We are pleased to announce that the Acai Berry Moisturizer has a new and improved formula. This revised formula is based upon consumer feedback, especially regarding the scent. It is still for normal to dry skin and has a silky feel. The new Acai Berry Moisturizer contains dimethicone to provide a long lasting silky smooth feel; glycerin which is an emollient, lubricant and humectant; Olivem® and squalane to restore and maintain the integrity of the skin barrier.
Researchers have found that, among many other medical and cosmetic benefits, acai berries contain extremely high concentrations of antioxidants which have been shown to combat the signs of premature aging.
Acai Berry Moisturizer Active Ingredients:
* Dimethicone– a combination of silicone and moisturizing PCA. It provides a long lasting, silky smooth skin feel.
* Olivem® (Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate)– a combination of fatty acids that restore and maintain the integrity of the skin barrier.
* Squalane– a major component of human skin surface lipids (or oils). It helps keep skin soft and healthy, and its antioxidant capabilities help protect from harsh effects of the environment. It facilitates the permeation of the active ingredients and prevents the loss of water from the skin, improving skin appearance and health.
* Acai Berry– native to tropical Central and South America. Acai pulp is rich in oleic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid, as well as Vitamins B, C, and E. This berry has high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used topically for its astringent and antibacterial properties.
* Sphingolipids– balance surface lipids, regenerate healthy cells, and moisturize. This ingredient emulsifies and binds oil and water.
* Hyaluronic Acid– naturally occurs in the dermis of human skin and has water binding properties. It increases skin suppleness and strength, strengthens the intercellular matrix, and smoothes the skin.
* Phospholipids– assist in barrier repair, improve barrier function, and protect from outside aggressors and bacteria. They constitute membranes of living cells, and modulate their fluidity and permeability.
* Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder– soothes and calms redness and inflammation, and it provides gentle hydration while protecting the skin from external aggression.
* Bisabolol (L-Alpha)– acts as an anti-inflammatory and promotes wound healing, reduces sensitivity, and alleviates heat while soothing skin irritation.

Peptide Restoration Moisturizer Active Ingredients List:
* Squalane– a major component of human skin surface lipids (or oils). It helps keep skin soft and healthy, and its antioxidant capabilities help protect from harsh effects of the environment. It facilitates the permeation of the active ingredients and prevents the loss of water from the skin, improving skin appearance and health.
* Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Oil– has high levels of essential fatty acids and natural retinoic acid content to aid in skin rejuvenation, hydrating, moisturizing, and nourishing. It also protects against photo damage.
* Shea Butter– ideal for dry and aging skin. Its unique fatty acid helps moisturize and retain the elasticity of the skin. It also helps protect the skin against the damaging effects of the sun (provides enhanced UV-B protection) while repairing cellular degeneration.
* (NEW) Reproage™ (listed as Water, Disodium Phosphate, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Sodium Phosphate, Caprylyl Gycol) is a peptide which helps create a smoother, more radiant and visually rejuvenated complexion. The skin regenerates itself at a rate equivalent to that of 17 years younger (volunteers aged 50-55), and roughness decreased up to 41.3% (56 days, 2% peptide solution), as observed in vivo.
* ChroNOline (Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3)– a peptide derived from a growth factor. It boosts collagen production, activates skin repair, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
* Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract– boosts the immune function of the skin cells and protects against sun damage.
* Alpha Lipoic Acid– an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals in both the fatty and watery regions of cells (both water and oil soluble).
* rH Oligopeptide-1 (EGF)– a peptide to accelerate the growth of epidermal cells. It reduces wrinkles and assists in wound healing.

* Sodium Hyaluronate– increases moisture binding capabilities and infuses water deep into the tissue to create a water reservoir that guards against environmental exposure.
* Ubiquinone (CoQ10)– known as the most efficient manner to protect the skin from lipid peroxidation. It reduces wrinkle depth, assists in copper utilization to repair wounds such as wrinkles, and provides heightened ROS protection.
* R-alpha-lipoic Acid– permeates in and out of the cell in both watery and fatty regions to improve antioxidant capabilities.
