INGREDIENT
Base
The base product is a group of ingredients which provide the basis for the formula.
Binder
A substance which causes the product to increase in consistency, therefore holding the ingredients together.
Botanical
Derived from plants.
Buffer
To lessen the effect of the product.
Beta-Glucan
Enhances the skin’s natural defense mechanism. Triggers the Langerhans cells which triggers the LC to activate dermal macrophages (cells that recognize foreign matter). The macrophages, once activated, set in motion a natural process by activating fibroblasts that activate collagen synthesis.
Borage Oil
Rich in Omega-6 lipids, it metabolizes into the structural lipids. Contains linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid that belong to a group of essential fatty acids that repair and maintain the natural moisture barrier of the skin.
Burdock Extract
Extracted from the root, it is credited with antibacterial properties and helps regulate and normalize oil production. It is exceptionally effective for clearing and refining the skin.
Bentonite Clay
White clay with excellent oil-absorbing properties. Minimizes pores, refines texture.
Bisabolol
Derived from Chamomile, it has excellent anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Soothes irritations. Also antibacterial.
Bromelain
Keratin-specific enzyme from the pineapple plant that digests dead skin cells. Refines the texture of the skin.
Benzoyl Peroxide
Anti-bacterial agent that functions by forcing peroxide into the follicle where it releases oxygen, killing the anaerobic P. acne bacteria. It also causes peeling deep in the follicle, which loosens acne impactions and prevents new impactions from forming. It controls oil, reduces inflammation and is unsurpassed in addressing all grades of acne.
