Why Spanish Aloe Vera?

Spanish Aloe Vera gel contains Vitamins A, C, E (antioxidants), B12, Choline and Folic Acid, all in a completely natural form, plus 9 minerals including Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium.

**It also speeds up the healing process (some studies show healing is increased to eight times the normal rate), which is attributed to the fact that Aloe Vera gel provides 20 of the 22 amino acids required by humans, including 7 of the 8 essential ones which are not produced by the body itself.

Use the gel alone or along with your favorite skin cream to help better soften and moisturize the skin. Because aloe regenerates skin cells it is also known to reduce wrinkles, eczema, acne, sun/age spots, and other blemishes.

SKIN * Apply the gel onto skin abrasions, cuts, sunburns, scalds, blisters, cold sores, rashes, and insect bites to help fight bacteria and avoid infection. The gel also has the ability to soothe pain and regenerate skin cells to promote healing with no or little scaring. Apply aloe gel 2-3 times a day to the area/wound until it is healed.

SCALP AND HAIR * Applying aloe vera gel to the scalp is a good treatment for dandruff, seborrhea (dermatitis), psoriasis and hair loss that has resulted from these conditions.

Use aloe vera gel as a substitute your commercial hair gel; rub or comb small amounts through your hair and style as usual.

STRAINS AND MUSCLE PAINS * Because the gel of the aloe vera plant is known to absorb quickly into the skin and reduce inflammation and pain, it also works well on sprains, strains, muscle pains and arthritic pain. Apply aloe gel

Why Rosehip Oil?
What is Rosehip Seed Oil?

Rosehip seed oil is a pressed seed oil, extracted from the seeds of a rose bush (Rosa moschata or Rosa rubiginosa) which grows wild in Spain. It is unique among vegetable oils in containing retinol (Vitamin A), and is also high in vitamin C.

Rose hip seed oil is high in the essential fatty acids - linoleic acid or omega-6, and linolenic acid or omega-3. It is commonly used in skin care products.

It is used for a variety of skin conditions, including dermatitis, acne and eczema, for mature and sun burnt skin as well as brittle nails and wrinkles.

Rose hip oil is also frequently used to heal scarring and diminish photo-aging.

Rosehip Oil To Dissipate Surgical and Traumatic Dermal Scars

When used on surgical scars, our pure rosehip oil should be applied after the stitches have been removed and the wound is totally healed.

After washing the area, apply the oil on dry skin with a soft massage.

The effects will be noticeable after three to four months; skin will recover its elasticity and the color of the skin will improve significantly.

With old, traumatic dermal scars, it will take longer to see any effects and, again, it will depend on the age of the scar, its location and the age of the person.

Two or more generous daily applications of rosehip oil are recommended, depending on the location of the scars and the age of the subject.

Rosehip Oil for Sun Damage

Rosehip Oil is very effective in halting and even reversing the effects produced by the sun radiation on the skin.

Significant changes should be noticed after the third week of continuous application.

In extreme cases of photo-aging, a more generous application should be used at night and during the day.

It may take four months or more for the total disappearance of superficial wrinkles and significant dissipation of hyper-pigmented spots.

Rosehip Oil For Hair Care

Applied as a hot oil treatment for brittle, damaged hair, or massaged into dry or flaking areas of the skin or scalp, Rosehip Oil goes to work instantly to improve texture and help promote healing.

Dermatologist tested, its mild pH (around 5.1) makes it ideal for direct application to the hair, scalp and skin.

Rosehip Oil has been scientifically tested for quality and performance, it is easy to use and an affordable alternative to cosmetic products.

Rosehip Oil To Fight the Effects of Photo-Aging

This condition represents the best opportunity for Rosehip Oil.

Aging, when related to skin, can be divided into two processes: intrinsic and photo-aging.

Intrinsic refers to endogenous and genetic factors which are almost impossible to halt or to reverse. Photo-aging refers to the multiple adverse effects on all parts of the skin induced by excessive exposure to sun radiation. This condition is also called Dermotoheliosis and can be reversible.

Light skinned persons who tan poorly are at the greatest risk for photo-damage. The signs of photo-aging may appear as early as the third of fourth decade of life in persons with repeated sun exposure.

Photo-aging is characterized by wrinkled, yellowed, lax, rough, leathery, inelastic, and/or coarse skin with spotted hyper or hypo-pigmentation.

Rosehip As a Preventative Therapy

Most researchers agree that the best way to use Rosehip Oil is as a preventative therapy to retard the appearance of skin-aging signs. They recommend starting this treatment at age 20, especially for those who burn easily or are exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.

One application a day will suffice.

It is important to know that histological changes (the ones that can not be observable) precede clinical manifestation (the ones that can be observed) by at least a decade - this is why prevention is of paramount importance.

Rosehip Oil As A Skin Rehydration System

The most effective way to benefit from Rosehip Oil is by using it as a skin rehydration system.

As we age, oil glands diminish in size. People produce 10 times more oil at age 25 than at age 50.

This condition is aggravated by the Spanish sun and other climactic and environmental conditions such as dryness and air toxicity in cities. Due to a lack of oil and depleted moisture, the skin starts to deteriorate.

Rosehip Oil, with its high absorbing level, penetrates the skin almost instantly to restore this needed moisture balance.
