Definition: Alaska glacier water has an uninterrupted physical structure unlike biochemically treated, distilled or purified water. It is naturally alkaline and full of minerals, ions and trace elements with strong molecular coherence. Glacial water is uniquely suited to help nutrients transfer on a cellular level – the hexagonal structure of glacial water mimics skin cells and its active polarizing water molecules archive and transfer information (including light and sound) helping products to penetrate skin and resonate with energetic vibrations of cells to boost skin hydration and vitality.

Glacier-fed water sources are naturally free of chemical toxins and manmade substances and contain a unique profile of minerals and other trace elements provided by Mother Nature, along with ideal measures of total dissolved solids, alkalinity and dissolved oxygen. This natural balance is the foundation for all animals and humans to thrive.

Many personal care products are water-based and most of those are made with ground water that has gone through an energy intensive purification process of removing toxins. These methods strip water of its structure and mineral content, causing it to become acidic, mineral void, and bio-chemically aggressive. The water is left empty and seeks to extract minerals and re-balance itself from whatever living system it occupies, including our skin.

Glaciers are formed by compressed and recrystallized snow. Unlike biochemically treated distilled or purified water, Alaska glacier water’s physical hexagon structure is uninterrupted.

Definition: A fatty molecule derived from olives and used to maintains skin's moisture barrier and hydration, and is also an antioxidant that has anti-aging properties for neutralizing environmental damage.

Definition:Sodium Hyaluronate: A sodium salt of hyaluronic acid that attracts and holds on to water, helping it retain moisture. Used as an emollient and powerful humectant (draw moisture in). Smaller than hyaluronic acid, a water-soluble salt that holds 1000 times its weight in water and is able to move more freely into the deeper layers of the skin, making it the ultimate skin moisturizer. Ingredients in salt form are more stable and less likely to oxidize.

Definition: Water soluble form of Vitamin B3 suppresses melanin (what causes age spots) and helps uv absorption. Also used to smooth the skin, improve tone and texture and help skin hold moisture.

The basis for niacinamide skin treatments comes from a series of studies conducted in 2005, where 50 women who showed signs of aging were treated with a niacinamide cream. The result indicated that the women treated with this type of cream showed significantly more improvement in skin elasticity and appearance than women treated with a placebo. Studies also suggest that niacinamide skin care products can reduce the signs and symptoms of severe acne or rosacea by reducing the inflammation of the skin.

Studies of the benefits of niacinamide creams also suggest that this chemical compound may increase the effectiveness of sunscreen in protecting cells against free radicals.

Definition: Natural ingredient used in cosmetics and personal care products that functions as an emollient (retain moisture), skin-restoring and soothing agent, as well as an anti-aging ingredient. It may also promote faster wound healing.  Decreases the appearance of wrinkles by energizing the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion, decreased appearance of crow's feet, and reduce the depth of brow wrinkles.

Definition: Natural betaine, which is obtained from the process of making sugar out of sugar beets by chromatography of the molasses, functions as an osmolyte.  As an osmolyte, the structure of betaine allows it to attract water and help to maintain cell water balance. This function of betaine is particularly important for skin cells that are dehydrated or exposed to UV radiation. Furthermore, the ability of betaine to increase skin hydration has been shown to have an anti-wrinkle effect.

Research has found that betaine can also improve tight junction integrity. Tight junctions are protein complexes that prevent leakage of solutes and water between the cells. Tight junctions have been suggested to contribute in the prevention of penetration of harmful substances, such as allergens, pollutants, etc. into the skin. Additionally, tight junctions aid in preventing water loss through the skin. Therefore, by improving tight junction integrity, betaine increases the hydration status of the skin and also protects the skin from harmful environmental substances.

Betaine also functions as a texture enhancer in cosmetics and personal care products. It is known to provide a silky feel to skin care preparations without causing tackiness.

Definition: Naturally occurring amino acid in the primary building blocks of hair keratin and skin collagen. It is a natural moisturizer and helps the skin fight free radicals, maintain hydration, boost collagen production and help with wound healing.

Definition: Potent antioxidant and skin-conditioner. Blueberry contains several types of antioxidants (known as polyphenolics) and vitamin C, although the polyphenol-based antioxidants are present in far greater amounts.

Antioxidants in blueberries protect skin from the unwanted affects of visible and infrared light. Essentially, the blueberries work to intercept damage before it takes hold, leading to healthier-looking skin. Protection does not replace a broad-spectrum sunscreen, only complements sunscreen.

Definition: Naturally occurring boreal conk mushroom that grows symbiotically on birch trees extracted using low temperatures to maintain potency of nutrients.  Chaga has an ORAC value of 52,000, making it one of the highest ORAC values in the world.  Chaga has 50x more superoxide dismutate (SOD) than any other medicinal mushroom. Also contains melanin, triterpenes, betulonic acid, beta-glucan, inotodiol which help protect against oxidative and environmental stressors, brighten skin tone, regenerate skin cells, heal wounds, stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, regulate sebum production and control acneic bacteria.
