Every day you may be exposed to pollutants that can accelerate the aging process and reverse all the hard work that the super foods are doing.

Types of Pollutants that accelerate the aging process:

- Dirt
- Smoke
- Smog
- Grime
- Chemicals/Synthetics in the air

How pollutants accelerate the aging process:

All these can cause excessive free radical damage which effects the cell membrane and in turn cells cannot properly process nutrients and eliminate toxins.  Pollutants also effect the activity of enzymes which can cause destruction of collagen and elastin tissue leading to skin that is thinner with deeper set wrinkles and appears uneven in tone and texture.  They also trigger inflammation which can cause puffiness and bags around the eyes.

Super Foods in Skin Care Products:

If a super food is processed well as to not chemically alter its nutritional value in any way and if the active component used in a cosmetic formula is synergistic to the skin’s own chemistry the Super Food can provide a number of benefits to the skin including advanced anti-oxidant care and deep re-hydration.  As these raw ingredients are naturally found in nature, careful and sustainable harvesting practices are key to ensuring the integrity of the ingredient is maintained.

When used in skin care formulations, ingredients such as Acai Berry, Olive Oil/Extract, Fresh Seaweed, and extracts of nuts and seeds including cold pressed nut oils can all help to promote long term healthy skin from the inside out.
