The Power of 10 Key Natural Ingredients: A Men's Skincare Regimen
If there’s one thing we want you to understand as a men’s skincare provider, it’s that the quality of ingredients make all the difference.
This sentiment is the backbone of our skincare regimen for men, as we take immense pride in preserving the powerful benefits of key natural, ethically sourced ingredients, working synergistically to create our straightforward and highly effective men’s skincare regimen.
Too often, companies don’t care enough about their products (or customers for that matter) to not include harmful chemicals, ranging from non FDA-approved preservatives with alarming side effects, to harsh detergents, and even dangerous levels of Formaldehyde! (Formaldehyde - American Cancer Societywww.cancer.org › cancer › cancer-causes › formaldehy...)
To add insult to injury, it seems these brands assume you don’t care enough about your skin to evaluate every last ingredient on the label.
We find this blatant lack of transparency and quality reprehensible, and proudly say HELL NO to these substances that are completely counterproductive to the notion of health.
Through thorough observation and evaluation, we’ve found that when it comes to repairing and preserving your skin, one thing becomes evidently clear: Mother Nature knows best.
Our high-grade Activated Charcoal, alongside our Extracts of Pine, Aloe, Rosemary, Bamboo, Peppermint, and Walnut all come from a sustainable farm located in CITY/REGION, South Korea.
ACTIVATED CHARCOAL
The preserving powers of activated charcoal have been leveraged by human beings for thousands of years, dating back as far as Ancient Egypt (https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/environment-health/charcoal-one-most-important-substances-ever-discovered) where it served as an integral ingredient in the preservation their dead.
Modern research tells us as early as 450 B.C, drinking water was stored in charred wooden barrels, which simultaneously preserved and purified the water over the course of long journeys.
In a pinch, ingesting activated charcoal can even act as a rudimentary antidote (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6620762/) to certain toxins and poisons!
Over time, mankind has discovered the benefits of activated charcoal offer physiological advantages as well.
Two decades ago, it was clinically determined (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11307928/. ) activated charcoal acts a natural repellent, proven to be highly effective against harmful pathogen such as Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (Staph).
The molecular structure of activated charcoal also has absorbent properties that behave as a sort of magnet, adhering to small substances and oils, bringing them to the surface, and detoxifying the skin. This quality is due in part to the compound’s incredible porosity. In fact, just a teaspoon of activated charcoal contains the surface area of an entire football field! These properties also create a slightly gritty texture, which works as a great exfoliator, stripping away layers of dead skin to reveal newer, healthier skin underneath.
Needless to say, we cannot think of a better ingredient to serve as the backbone of our skin regimen. The combined effects of our activated charcoal moisturizer and facial scrub work together to leave you looking smooth and refined, ready to tackle your obstacles with confidence and certainty.
PINE EXTRACT
Pine bark oil is a powerful antioxidant, packed with OPCs (Oligomeric proanthocyanidins) and able to bind with key amino acids that support the production of collagen, which produce anti-aging effects, improving the retention of moisture in the face as well as protecting your skin against harmful ultraviolet rays.
With over 40 distinct antioxidants, our pine extract interacts with Vitamin C and E to work as a natural anti-inflammatory. This results in relaxed blood vessels, reduced blood pressure, and healthier cardiovascular circulation.
ROSEMARY
A refreshing astringent, rosemary oil tones and conditions your skin to stay looking fresh for the long term. Antimicrobial benefits fight off acne by decongesting hot spots, while also eliminating flakiness and dryness, preventing future breakouts.
Rosemary also acts as a stimulant for aging skin, reinvigorating circulation, reducing under-eye dark circles and puffiness. This results in a brighter, sharper, more confident look.
BAMBOO EXTRACT
Comprised of nearly 70% natural silica, bamboo extract heals and regenerates (https://www.victoriahealth.com/editorial/the-best-kept-secret-for-healthy-hair-radiant-skin-and-strong-nails) your skin after a hard day’s work, by aiding the production of collagen while preventing the loss of moisture. Bamboo also contains astringent properties, firming your skin while restoring its youthful bounce.
This ingredient also behaves as an anti-irritant, soothing symptoms of sensitive skin types and conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
When it comes to mitigating the damage of annoying breakouts, our bamboo extract makes your skin cells less likely to become irritated or enflamed, effectively reducing their overall severity and frequency.
WALNUT SHELL POWDER
The multi-faceted and minute particles of walnut powder retain the extreme hardness of the nut’s shell, acting as a gentle abrasive and exfoliant. Considered a gift of nature to many followers of alternative medicine, this unique ingredient works in tandem with the activated charcoal to buff your skin after a hard day’s work.
PEPPERMINT
Peppermint oil contains antiseptic and antibacterial properties, which further combats inflammation and irritation from acne while promoting skin elasticity. Beneficial levels of menthol accomplish these results while creating a distinguishable and soothing cooling effect.
