Dead Sea Minerals Health Benefits
Monday, March 1st, 2010THE SKIN
The problem of skin aging is not considered a medical problem. Since dermatology is restricted to medical treatment in cases of skin diseases, the branch of cosmetics deals with the maintenance and improvement of skin condition. Cosmetics use a large variety of active ingredients and EDOM line adds the minerals and mud of the Dead Sea to those ingredients and makes its products more useful and effective.
As we all know, skin ages mainly due to the gradual and constant loss of its liquid content; in other words, it gradually dries out. As a consequence it becomes and looks “tired”, older and wrinkled. As a partial solution to this problem, the cosmetic industry has developed a variety of “moisturizing preparations”. The problem is that these preparations are absorbed by the skin to only a limited extent, and do not reach all layers of the skin. This difficulty is due mainly to the skin structure and function.
In order to simplify the explanation, let us talk only about two layers: the epidermis and the dermis.
The epidermis is the skin’s outer layer, which is composed of five layers of flat cells. It grows on the basis of the dermis and is nourished by it. The epidermis is the skin layer that can be affected by cosmetics and then can affect the appearance of the skin. The epidermis renews itself constantly by cell division (mitosis). As the live cells are pushed outward from the base layer, they dry up and flatten out until they reach the horny layer where they are stored as dead cells. This covering of dead cells (the horny layer or stratum corneum), serves as the body’s main protection. (The outer cells must be dead since live cells cannot exist if they are exposed to air and water).
The epidermis contains as we already mentioned, five layers of cells. These cells are at various levels of maturity that renew themselves each 21-40 days by the mitosis process.
Under the dead cells (the stratum corneum), we find the stratum granulosum. These two layers are covered by sebum and they constantly move outward. They are called the barrier layer because they prevent the penetration of external substances into the skin and the loss of water from the skin.
In the stratum granulosum, there is a negative electric field which acts as another means of protection. Substances carrying a negative electric charge (anions) are repulsed by it. Only cations, the carries of a positive electrical charge, are accepted. They are trapped and held inside it. The minerals in EDOM line are cations.
In order to overcome these barriers and penetrate into the skin, we use lipid emulsion containing water. It overcomes the fatty barrier and enhances absorption through the epidermis, creating hydration. We also use substances that affect absorption through the duct of the sebaceous glands and the duct of hair roots. It means that the skin is only partially impenetrable.
THE SKIN TYPE
When we use cosmetics, it is necessary to look at the type of the skin, its condition etc. The sebaceous glands produce the sebum, which is a viscous mixture of fatty acids, waxy substances, cholesterol and celluloid (cellular waste). The sebum is secreted on the skin through the pores. On the face, the sebaceous glands are concentrated in the T area, along the width of the forehead and down along the nose to the chin. Hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands causes oily skin and their hypo activity causes dry skin. Acne is a condition connected to the activity of the sebaceous glands.
THE pH
PH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance in the form of a diluted solution. The sebum contains among other ingredients fatty acids. The concentration of the fatty acids on the skin produces the acidic covering. This is a natural sheath against inflammation. The natural bacteria of the skin are capable of existing and functioning in pH level from 4.5 to 7, and this is why it is so important to keep the pH level neutral. Since the sebum must flow through the outer layers of the skin in order to produce the acidic covering, the factor of time plays a role in the renewal of the covering if it is damaged. These reasons led to the production of cosmetics with a balanced pH. Thus is EDOM cosmetics.

Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Skin care
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Wild Ferns the exciting new range from Parrs Skin care new improved products which are now even better and more natural than ever before.
All products are paraben, mineral oil and, lanolin free and are suitable for the most senative of skins.
Another remarkabale remarkable change to the product is the quality and assurance that only the highest quality of manuka honey is tested and constistantly used in the Manuka Honey beauty range. And a new rating has been tademarked and used to consistantly control it’s quality.
Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. The honey that is collected from these flowers has long been renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties.
Honey contains special antibacterial properties including an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, which is a proven antiseptic.
Manuka honey has higher levels of this enzyme thereby containing a greater level of antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals and has the outstanding ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin.
Manuka honey also contains active antioxidants that neutralise free radicals which are responsible for skin cell damage. Manuka honey assists in the growth of new cell and tissue regeneration making it the perfect ingrediant for skin care products.
Wild Ferns Manuka Honey skincare products all contain Active AAH 650+ (Active Antibacterial Antioxidant Honey 650+), a uniquely tested manuka honey. The honey is trademarked and strictly controlled to ensure only the best manuka products contain it. It was developed following extensive research by Dr Geoffrey Savage, Associate Professor of Food Biochemistry at Lincoln University in Canterbury, New Zealand. Dr Savage is one of New Zealand’s leading authorities on the health benefits of honey and antioxidants. He and his team found that active AAH 650+ manuka honey contained extremely high, naturally occurring levels of antibacterial activity and antioxidants — far more than any other honey varietals.
The method used to test the antibacterial activity of active AAH 650+ manuka honey is completely different to the more commonly recognised UMF honey. It is a scientifically-proven method of testing that measures the same thing as UMF (antibacterial activity in honey), but is completely reliable and gives consistent, repeatable results every time. This means that only jars of active AAH 650+ manuka honey are guaranteed to contain active honey, and that the honey contained is active to the level stated on the packaging (650+).
The scale of measuring the antibacterial activity in active AAH 650+ manuka honey is also different to that of UMF. The active AAH activity range is 470-650+. For UMF, the activity range is 8-25+. With both testing methods, the higher the number, the more antibacterial activity the honey contains and the better it is for natural healing. For active AAH manuka honey, 650+ is the highest possible level of antibacterial activity the honey can have, and is equivalent to the highest commonly available UMF rating.
Active AAH 650+ Manuka Honey is not only high in antibacterial activity, it is also extremely high in antioxidants. As already mentioned, antioxidants neutralise free radicals in the environment. These free radicals are caused by everyday environmental factors such as air, sunlight and pollution. They have been medically recognised as the cause of degenerative skin diseases such as wrinkles and skin discolourations, and can damage cells and harm the immune system. It is believed that using products that are high in antioxidants can help prevent or limit these negative effects.
Users of manuka honey skin care products are experiencing astounding results as manuka honey helps rebuild and repair the skin rather than just focusing on eliminating the problem periodically. It works by feeding the skin of essential nutrients, assisting a healthy growth of the skin, protecting the skin from free radicals, and locking in the moisture.
Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Products are Guanteed Quality if you are not 100% happy we would be happy to refund you if full.
Are You Supporting Animal Testing With Out Knowing It?

The CRUEL REALITY OF ANIMAL TESTING
Synthetic Cosmetic Products – Are you supporting animal testing?
I know not everyone believes that the exploitation of animals is wrong.
As an example, many people eat animal products. There are a small minority that still wear furs and a vast number of people take medicinal products in the full knowledge that they may well have been perfected and safety tested through animal experimentation.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with people in these categories is a matter of personal viewpoint, but what can’t really be disputed is that in the majority of the above cases the people concerned have made a choice.
It isn’t really possible to buy and wear a ‘real’ fur without being clear that the making of it probably involved killing an animal. Similarly with many foodstuffs such as meat or fish, one can’t really eat them without knowing that they come from animals.
Even with prescribed medicines, although a pill or liquid doesn’t immediately communicate its origin, this whole area receives such constant publicity in the media that for me at least it would be difficult to believe that most people do not understand that animal testing is probably involved at some stage.
In the case of synthetic cosmetics though, the position is different. The power and financial influence of the major
OUR FRIEND
global corporate cosmetics companies is truly awesome. Their advertising budgets are vast and the TV and papers are constantly full of their publicity and ‘positive spin’ ads. What is even more interesting is that large numbers of these ads and articles try to link their product to ‘nature’ and ‘natural’ – cue the images of forests, waterfalls, beautiful models frolicking on a pristine beach and cuddly pet animals sitting on a couch watching admiringly as their owners apply whatever the product is.
Although there is some negative publicity and media comment about the realities of certain synthetic cosmetic production processes, this is often totally submerged and drowned by the outpourings of the mega-companies and their vast budgets.
I think this is a great pity because as a result the consumer can fail to understand two critically important things:
• Some synthetic cosmetics are based upon artificial compounds that may involve animal exploitation during testing
• It isn’t necessary! There are natural cosmetic products available that do not involve the creation of artificial chemical compounds and their subsequent testing on animals and ar just as good if not better.
It is true that many major cosmetic manufacturers now say they do not test on animals. It is also true that the European Parliament plans to ban cosmetic animal testing in 2009, but this is not entirely the whole story. Many of the chemicals used in synthetic products are sourced from third-party companies where the guarantees are far less clear. If these companies are outside of the EU then those humane laws may be difficult to apply.
The easy way to avoid indecision and uncertainty is to look for those cosmetic products that are based upon 100% natural ingredients and which offer a ‘no animal testing’ guarantee. You can be sure that no animal has had to suffer for your convenience.
