WHAT IT IS GOOD FOR

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules

WHAT WE LOVE

This non-greasy formulation works as both an immediate skin-rescue product and functions as a pre-emptive treatment to keep chronically dry skin supple. It works applied directly or mixed into our favorite moisturizer.

I love being able to use a capsule whenever I want to look instantly smoother and need a non-greasy boost of hydration.

Potent Cosmeceutical Skincare

Don’t underestimate these capsules because of their pretty packaging: this is pure and potent Cosmeceutical Skincare

THE EXPERIENCE

Twist off the top of the capsule “head” and squeeze the contents into a dose of moisturizer or apply the contents directly to the face and throat.

Capsule contents. One capsule was enough for face, throat, lips and a bit extra for hands.

Capsule contents. One capsule was enough for face, throat, lips and a just bit extra for hands.

CONSISTENCY & APPLICATION

Since it contains rich oils, I thought the application might be messy.

The capsule contents are thicker than oil, something of a liquidy honey consistency. So I expected it to be too stiff to spread easily on the skin. It smoothly and immediately sank into my skin. And the finish was not at all oily or sticky even when applied directly.

Massaging it into the face and throat feels relaxing and spa-like. It tackles everything from chronically dry lips to eleven lines or undereye dryness.

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion capsule form makes this rich treatment portable for beauty emergencies.

Capsules are portable for travel or on-the-go skin replenishing.

Let’s take a look at the impressive ingredient profile:

active ingredients

Avocado Oil Ingredient featured on StyleChicks.com

Avocado Oil

Avocado

Avocado Oil hydrates like natural skin sebum and improves skin elasticity. It contains Chlorophyll, an antioxidant that protects from premature aging.  Rich in fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, it strengthens the skin lipid barrier. Vitamins C, D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes wound healing and collagen production [1] without clogging pores.  Avocado oil also contains oleic acid, a fatty acid that reduces inflammation and redness while fighting wrinkles.

Unlike other fatty oils that stay on the skin surface, Avocado absorbs into the skin for better hydration potential.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)

Tocopheryl Acetate is Vitamin E. E makes damaged skin soft and pliable again while reducing wrinkle formation.

Ceramide-3

Ceramides are fatty acids that hold cells together to protect the epidermis. Ceramides create a wonderful protective barrier layer. They hold in moisture and plump the skin. Natural ceramides deplete with age. Even younger skin loses ceramides when using harsh cleansers or drying skincare products.

This formula uses an important ceramide, Trihydroxypalmitamidohydroxypropyl Myristyl Ether, AKA Ceramide 3. Ceramide 3 keeps skin hydrated without being greasy. Ceramide 3 is often used as a moisturizing ingredient. This enhances the smooth product finish while repairing the skin barrier.

Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate)

An antioxidant found naturally in our skin. Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) is a natural form of Vitamin A that helps with wrinkles and fine lines. It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper. It promotes cell regeneration.

Also 

Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is Sunflower Seed Oil. Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in the skin and functions as a lipid buffer against drying ingredients or topical medicines [2]. Linoleic acid gives sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Sunflower Oil is non-comedogenic and can safely moisturize acne-prone areas. It soothes eczema, scarring, redness, and irritation.

A helpful anti-aging ingredient because it contains antioxidants Vitamins A, C and E. As a result, the wrinkles and fine lines are diminished and the skin gets a youthful and radiant complexion. Other nutrients found include elastin producing Copper plus Palmitic acid, Omega-6 fatty acids, Iron, Calcium and Zinc.

It extendedly smoothes and hydrates.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients with no reported toxicity, it is safe enough to be food grade. Capric Triglyceride naturally occurs in palm kernel or coconut oil. It is a mixed ester composed of caprylic and capric fatty acids attached to glycerin. Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a natural skin replenishing emollient that creates a barrier on the skin’s surface, which helps to reduce skin dryness by decreasing the loss of moisture. [3] It can make greasy ingredients leave a non-greasy finish. A gentle ingredient.

Caprylic/capric triglyceride creates a barrier on the skin’s surface to reduce moisture loss and address dryness.

 

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules are filled with excellent hydrating and repairing ingredients with no junky fillers or unnecessary additives.

OUR SIGI SKIN EXPERIENCE

I first used it one morning, as I mentally was going through my to-do list and generally distracted. I had patch-tested it for reactions a few days prior, so I knew it had a nice jelly-like texture and subtle Eucalyptus scent.

But then as I applied it to my face and started massaging it in, my mental to-do list melted away as I realized that the texture and sensation of this face wash was a world of difference from my standard cleansers, all of which I considered pretty great.

I literally said “OH WOW!” out loud.

So…continuing the recommended 120 seconds of face washing felt like a glorious but fleeting spa treatment. I delighted in making small, gentle circles around my face with my fingertips

Another surprise came when I washed it off: despite the medium-jelly consistency, it washed off clean and without any scrubbing. My face was truly clean: no vestiges of last night’s skincare routine. And for as gentle as the cleanser is, it had taken off a mild layer of dead skin that was leaving my skin a little dull. My face had a healthy glow, which is a great way to start a morning!

As I went about my morning routine, I noticed something interesting, even though my skin felt truly and deeply clean, it wasn’t at all tight feeling. That is usually the trade-off: there are a lot of good cleansers that give you a deep clean feeling, but also strip your skin of moisture and leave it feeling tight. Not so with Sigi Skin Kaleanser Face Wash. My skin was moisturized and so, so soft.

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

· 6 Comments

Niacinamide offers something to everyone. It fades discoloration. Niacinamide reduces acne, large pores, and fine lines. Niacinamide helps the skin generate ceramides, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Young or old, male or female, who doesn’t want healthier, brighter skin? So we were excited to try Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Serum. It is a 5% niacinamide in a vegan, organic formulation which makes this great active even better.
Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

What It Is

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Serum is a small batch, high-quality vegan-friendly serum. It is made with organic ingredients at an FDA certified facility.

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

what is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin. The topical application of Niacinamide improves enlarged pores, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface. [1,2] It boosts hydration, fades hyperpigmentation and helps skin retain firmness. [3]

Niacinamide is great for sensitive skin that is unable to tolerate retinol.[4] Niacinamide is relatively nonirritating compared to other acne treatments. [5]

Niacinamide Research

Research shows Niacinamide has many benefits. Studies show that Niacinamide can:

  • Fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration naturally and gently. [6]  One study showed Niacinamide was less effective than hydroquinone. But in about two months, it did almost as good a job fading dark spots but without the side effects of hydroquinone. [7]
  • Provide pollution skincare. Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier [8]
  • Reduce the inflammation of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions [9]
  • Treat acne. In a double-blind clinical trial of inflammatory acne, 4% niacinamide worked as good as an antibiotic. [10]
  • Regulate sebum production [11]
  • Make ceramides [12]
  • Hold skin cancer prevention properties:
“Niacinamide … prevents ultraviolet radiation (UV) from reducing ATP levels and inhibiting glycolysis, thus preventing the UV radiation‐induced energy crisis. This enhances DNA repair and reduces UV‐induced suppression of immunity” [13]

What Makes this formulation special?

While gentler than many actives, some people experience irritation with Niacinamide. This formulation contains buffers like Organic Sunflower Seed Oil and Organic Aloe Vera that nourish the skin.

Importantly it combines Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid which works synergistically.

The Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum organic ingredient list includes hyaluronic acid

Why Hyaluronic + Niacinamide = ❤️

A feature of this Skin Daily formulation is the pairing of Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin, but it depletes as we age. Topical Hyaluronic Acid application replaces levels in the skin, giving a youthful glow.

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

Niacinamide makes hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is like a friend with VIP access; it uses its’ moisture pulling ability to draw active ingredients, like Niacinamide into deeper skin layers. The deeper Niacinamide can work, the better the overall skin appearance.

This means Hyaluronic helps Niacinamide make MORE hyaluronic in the lower layers of the skin.

It is imperative to use a moisturizer over Hyaluronic Acid, as it draws as much moisture as possible into the skin. If Hyaluronic Acid can’t get enough moisture, the surface of the skin can appear DRY, because the Hyaluronic is still “thirsty.” Fortunately, Skin Daily is packed with moisturizers.

This is a superior formulation with skin-friendly, natural, Niacinamide supporting ingredients. Let’s take a closer look:

 

 Ingredients

Organic ingredients

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice comes from the Aloe Vera plant.  Aloe Vera provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth to treat acne and fight skin aging.  It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It soothes irritation.

 

NIACINAMIDE

A natural skin brightener that reduces hyperpigmentation and fine lines with strengthening Strengthens skin barrier, brightens, improving fine lines, and reduction in hyper-pigmentation.

 

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid gets “beauty secret weapon” status due to its’ ability to hold enormous amounts of moisture; it can draw moisture from the air, sucking it into the skin. This moisture drawing ability has a dual benefit. Not only does it make skin as plump and dewy as possible, creating an environment where the skin contains as much hydration as it can hold, but it uses this water drawing ability to pull active ingredients, like Niacinamide, deeper into the skin.

 

Style Chicks Glossary of Skin and Hair Terms. glossary definition on StyleChicks.com

Avocado

Avocado Fruit Oil

Avocado oil benefits the hair, scalp and skin. Avocado oil massaged into the scalp prompts blood flow to hair follicles. Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture of skin. Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C,D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[14]

Sunflower

organic Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base. It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.

Linoleic acid gIves sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory properties. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins. It is a natural treatment for atopic dermatitis. [15]

 

Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil heals sun damage and restores moisture.  It deeply penetrates the skin to enhance elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production.

glycerin

Glycerin is a natural, non-toxic, vegan-friendly humectant and hydrates. It helps skin attract and maintain moisture.

 



Rosemary

Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosemary Extract combats dry skin. It naturally protects the skin from sun damage and free radicals. It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.

Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E prevents the signs of premature aging by softening skin texture.  Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

my experience

Apply a pea-sized amount to the face. Wait five minutes and apply moisturizer.

It doesn’t sting or leave skin red. There is no sticky or chalky dry-down. Makeup and sunscreen go over the serum without pilling. Leaves skin with a nice, even tone. Skin quickly looks brighter with daily use.

Just a pea-sized dot for face and throat

Scientifically Sound Natural Alternative for Hair Loss: Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil For Hair Growth

· 7 Comments

Many hair loss suffers seek a natural alternative to hair regrowth prescription drugs.  The β-sitosterol in saw palmetto shows remarkable hair growth-promoting activity. [1] A natural effective topical Saw Palmetto formulation is HAIRMETTO Saw Palmetto Oil. We researched this formulation and were impressed with what we found. It is a combination of natural ingredients scientifically proven to stop the contributing factors of hair loss and maximize hair growth potential in both men and women.
Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth

Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth

HAIRMETTO Saw Palmetto Oil is a natural formulation that blocks DHT and Androgens. It also stimulates hair follicles. Its namesake ingredient is Saw Palmetto.

Saw Palmetto is available as an oral supplement. HAIRMETTO Saw Palmetto Oil is applied topically directly only to the areas you need to it for best results.

For a topical formulation to stop hair loss or help hair grow, it must address the source of hair loss. This calls for understanding the relationship between hair loss and DHT.

Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth has an easy-to-use

Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth has an easy-to-use nozzle for precision application

understanding dht & hair loss

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a natural hormone that accumulates on the scalp.

DHT is the enemy.

DHT settles at the base of the hair follicle. It also accumulates under dandruff and dry flakes. If left unaddressed, DHT smothers the hair follicle and blocks protein absorption. DHT causes hair follicle shrinkage. [2]  This deters new hair growth until the follicle doesn’t grow hair at all. While both men and women have DHT, testosterone elevates DHT levels in men.

Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth

Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil for Hair Growth

How do you know your follicles are suffering from DHT build-up?

You can detect a struggling follicle by looking for shorter, thinner hairs on your head. The existing hair gets thinner and shorter until it sheds and another hair does not grow back in its’ place. When many follicles do this, hair becomes sparse in areas, exposing more scalp.

Medicinal ingredient list of Hairmetto

Can anything stop DHT?

A few natural ingredients are proven to remove DHT. Some also improve blood flow to kick-start hair regrowth. [3] Once DHT is removed and kept off the scalp, recently dormant follicles can grow hair again.

That is where HAIRMETTO Saw Palmetto Oil comes in. Let’s look at the ingredient list.

 Ingredient Profile

SAW PALMETTO (SERENOA REPENS)
Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto comes from Serenoa repens

Saw Palmetto comes from the berries of Serenoa repens, a small palm plant. It is a natural DHT blocker.Saw Palmetto is also a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor. 5 alpha-reductase converts testosterone to DHT resulting in male pattern baldness. [4]

Saw Palmetto also inhibits the DHT receptors in the follicles. This limits the damage that any remaining DHT can do.

This formulation has 200mg of Saw Palmetto.

PUMPKIN SEED OIL (CUCURBITA PEPO)

Studies show that Pumpkin Seed oil inhibits DHT production. The oils’ phytosterols inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT in the scalp.  Delta-7-sterine stops DHT from binding with hair follicles. [5]

Pumpkin Seed Oil on StyleChicks.com

Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seed oil also nourishes the scalp. It contains fatty acids, vitamins, proteins, and minerals.

It is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. This maintains cell structure and moisture levels of the scalp and hair.

Pumpkin Seed Oil is high in Vitamin E and zinc to promote skin renewal.

Zinc reduces scalp issues such as seborrheic dermatitis, dry flakes, itching, and irritation.

Pumpkin Seed Oil is best used within a formulation rather than on its own.

This formulation has 4000mg of Pumpkin Seed Oil.

CASTOR SEED OIL (RICINUS COMMUNIS)

Castor Seed Oil has long been used to promote hair growth. No scientific studies to date correlate Castor Oil with hair regrowth or stop loss. Castor Seed Oil does remove some of the barriers that impede hair growth.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor seed oil

These barriers include scalp conditions such as scalp infection, chronically dry scalps, or other scalp inflammation. Castor Seed Oil contributes to the general moisture levels and health of the scalp. A healthy scalp is necessary to have an environment conducive to hair growth. Castor Seed Oil is rich in vitamins and fatty acids to nourish both hair and scalp.

Castor Seed Oil is a humectant. It temporarily plumps the hair with moisture for a fuller and healthier look. It also gives hair more flexibility, protecting new hairs and existing brittle hair. If you see breakage close to the hair root, brittleness can be a culprit and Castor Seed Oil can help.

Castor Seed Oil is an excellent base oil for the next three important ingredients.

Rosemary for hair growth

A double-blind, evidence-based method study showed a mix of lavender, rosemary, and cedarwood extract (the next three ingredients in this formulation) reduced hair loss significantly amongst alopecia areata patients. [6]

Individually, each of these essential oils also benefits scalp health and hair growth:

ROSEMARY EXTRACT
Rosemary

Rosemary

Rosemary Extract stimulates and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair.

It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.

An exciting study demonstrated Rosemary Oil is as effective as Minoxidil for hair growth stimulation without the chemical side effects.  Rosemary combats a specific type of hair loss, androgenetic alopecia.

Research shows massaging the scalp for six months with Rosemary oil and carrier oil is as effective as 5% Minoxidil at regrowing hair.[7]

Another study found the 12-methoxycarnosic acid in Rosemary Extract a promising crude drug for treating male pattern baldness caused by 5α-reductase inhibition, or the testosterone conversion to DHT on the scalp. The study concluded “These results suggest that they inhibit the binding of dihydrotestosterone to androgen receptors”.  [8]

Lavender In Hairmetto

LAVENDER EXTRACT

Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep the scalp healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any scalp imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking. This is beneficial to remove places that DHT might accumulate.

The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth in skin and hair.

Some lab studies show promise in lavender inducing faster hair growth. [9]

CEDARWOOD EXTRACT
Cedarwood essential oil is a substance derived from the needles, leaves, bark, and berries of cedar trees.

Cedar bark

Cedarwood extract is derived from the needles, leaves, bark, and berries of cedar trees.

Cedarwood reduces hair loss by balancing oil production.

It also has antifungal and antibacterial properties to keep the scalp healthy.

 

what it does NOT contain

This vegan formula has no:

  • Chemicals
  • SLS (sulfates)
  • Parabens
  • Gluten

Clean & Green: CO2 Extraction

The natural ingredients in this formulation are harvested by CO2 Extraction. CO2 Extraction is a green technology which retains all the natural properties while eliminating  any heavy metals and pesticides. CO2 Extraction doesn’t pollute the environment.

CO2 Extraction is a clean and green measure of ingredient harvesting

 

The Science of Pumpkin Seed Oil

Can Pumpkin Seed Oil address hair loss?
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial showed Mean hair count increases of 40% were observed in Pumpkin Seed Oil-treated men at 24 weeks. [10]

 

Hairmetto oil droplet

OUR EXPERIENCE

I part my hair and apply the oil directly to hair roots with the nozzle tip and massage my scalp well.

It is left to absorb in overnight into hair shafts and roots.  It is not a heavy viscosity but not watery either. It reminds me of the consistency of apricot oil.

It is not itchy or hair-clumping like many Minoxidil preparations.

Hairmetto is a light consistency oil that absorbs well.

I like being able to apply it just to the roots of sparser areas without covering my hair with greasy oil.  I like that the nutrients are applied directly to my weaker follicles instead of circulating in my body and impacting other hormonal responses.

I don’t always like to wash hair daily. My hair is on the dry side, but the oil absorbed into my roots by morning. Oilier hair types might use bit of dry shampoo to re-fluff. There is no residue.

It smells faintly of lavender.

Massage in a few drops into the scalp and leave in overnight

According to the American Hair Loss Association, 40% of women experience hair loss.[11] Women have fewer options and many proven hair regrowth prescription drugs have side effect profiles undesirable for women [12].  Hairmetto Saw Palmetto Oil provides a safe and effective way to naturally stop hair loss. The ingredients are all safe and nourish the scalp and hair. The correct proportions of scientifically backed ingredients come pre-mixed and the oil is exceptionally easy to use.

Hair Tools: the HairMax Quick Dry Towel

· 8 Comments

Isn’t a towel just a towel? Not when it comes to your hair. The HAIRMAX QUICK DRY HAIR TOWEL protects the hair cuticle and reduces The risk of hair breakage. There is currently a limited time 50% off offer at HairMax.com. We picked up a few extras to keep our tresses safe when wet.

Why A Hair Towel Is Necessary

If you are growing out your hair, losing hair, or are a curly, the right hair towel is important.

Hair breakage is common with chemical processing, hot tool use and hair loss. Wet hair is vulnerable. Keep hair in its’ best condition with a proper hair towel. A bath towel intended to dry off body skin is too rough for delicate wet hair. Terry cloth towels feel soft and fluffy on the skin, but can fray the hair cuticle and cause breakage.

A good hair towel should absorb enough water to reduce drying time and limit exposure to hot styling tools.

Our Experience

The HairMax Quick Dry Hair Towel is an absorbent microfiber that’s gentle to hair. The Quick Dry Hair Towel is lightweight and it stays put.

This towel is generously sized at 19” x 52”. If you have long hair, you may have been disappointed with other hair towels. This one accommodates even very long hair.

Got curly hair? This makes hair form into pretty well-formed ringlets and curls, not frizz.  The towel cradles the hair while wicking moisture. The towel also removes enough moisture to optimize hair product penetration.

I let my hair air-dry about 70% in the towel, then finish off my hair with hair-drying on the lowest heat setting to style. I love the lack of frizz, and styling my hair is so much faster and healthier.
