Celebrating World Bee Day With Epionce

· Leave a Comment

It is World Bee Day! Hurray to our industrious flying friends! We know bees give us skincare benefits from honey, but there is also beauty benefits to beeswax. So we celebrate World Bee Day by featuring Epionce, a brand that puts beeswax to good beauty use in a range of medical-grade, botanically-based products for remarkable skincare.

Epionce and Beeswax

Epionce uses beeswax in its’ product range. What is so special about beeswax?

The Buzz About Beeswax

Beeswax is a bee by-product made from the honeycomb of the honeybee.

Beeswax is best known for its’ ability to soften the skin, such as chapped lips.  But beeswax is much more than a natural lip balm.

Beeswax has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining moisture. It protects from irritants and acts as a long-lasting protective barrier layer from environmental irritants and extreme weather.

It is an anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory.

 

Packed with vitamin A, beeswax helps with healing, stimulates cell turnover, protects against UV radiation, and fights against the free radicals that cause premature signs of aging.

Thank you, bees!

 

What The Experts Say

Dr. Thornfeldt, Clinical Dermatologist and Founder of Episciences, and creator of Epionce, totally gets the potential of beeswax within botanically-based skincare.

Here is what Dr. Thornfeldt and other researchers have to say about the impact of beeswax on skin:

“Beeswax is a natural humectant with protective wax esters to help draw and lock in moisture, keeping skin hydrated, firm, and plump”

“Beeswax provides a natural, gentle exfoliation to keep you soft and smooth.”
“It soothes irritated skin making it an excellent choice as a healing skincare ingredient.”
 “the perfect balance of nourishment to calm skin, keep it bacteria free, along with healing wounds and fighting infection.“

Beeswax is especially important in the care of our skin barrier.

Most anti-aging topicals are aggressive: retinols, aHAs, Vitamin C. They can disrupt the skin barrier with their drying, peeling side effects. But care for our skin barrier goes beyond dry skin concerns. Our skin barrier must be maintained and protected.

Why Protect Our Skin Barrier

OUR SKIN HAS SEEN SOME THINGS. BAD THINGS.

Research shows environmental stressors are a significant oxidative factor, damaging our skin barrier and accelerating skin aging.[1]

European environmental scientists concluded that air pollution, UV radiation, frigid temperatures, dust, dry air, tobacco smoke exposure, and even our cosmetics and skincare take a collective toll on the skin.[2]

It is imperative to keep our skin barrier intact. Studies also show air pollution makes skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis, even worse. [3]

Wonderful Watercress: The Collagen and Elastin Supporting Skincare Superhero

· Leave a Comment

Watercress works wonders. Read a short synopsis of the science behind how watercress encourages collagen and elastin production for younger, firmer skin
Watercress supports collagen and elastin within the skin

Watercress supports collagen and elastin within the skin

We obsess about Collagen in our skincare regimens, and rightly so. Collagen is the scaffold of our skin, keeping it firm and wrinkle-free. Skin with more collagen has smaller pores and fewer wrinkles.  But our skin can be devoid of these tell-tale signs of aging yet still not look YOUNG.

What is the secret of youthful skin? Collagen AND Elastin. How do you increase both Collagen and Elastin in your skin? By slathering Watercress all over it.

Watercress boosts collagen and elastin

Watercress boosts collagen and elastin

The Science of Watercress

Watercress, also known as Nasturtium Officinale, is a tiny plant with big beauty benefits.

A groundbreaking skincare study showed Watercress uniquely promotes Collagen III in the dermal cells of the papillary dermis skin layer. [1] Collagen III is known as “baby collagen” – it is the type we lose as we age.

Watercress also builds Elastin. Elastin gives skin its’ youthful bounce. The same study found that the more elastin skin has, the smoother skin looks. But as skin loses elastin, it becomes dull and rough.

Enhanced collagen levels ALSO increase skin elasticity. And together, they make skin taut, resilient, and radiant.

Watercress is also an antioxidant full Vitamins A, C, E, K, and notably, Copper. [2]

 

The Key Nutrients in Watercress

Watercress contains Copper which has an amazing ability to restore elastin in the skin.

Elastin gives skin its’ youthful bounce and the ability to spring back.  Few ingredients support elastin as copper does. Copper peptides promote collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production within the skin. All three are vital for skin firmness, texture, radiance, and appearance.

Copper extraction is costly, which often makes it costly in skincare products. Watercress is an excellent way to get topical copper in your skincare program. Read more about how copper benefits the skin here.

The Vitamin K in Watercress reduces brown and blue-tinged under-eye dark circles caused by leaking capillaries. As we age, we tend to get more broken capillaries, resulting in red and brown heme pooled under the skin. Vitamin K strengthens these capillaries so they are more resistant to breakage.

Watercress also contains Vitamins A and C to fight free radicals.

 

Elastin Facts: What You Need to Know

  • Elastin is a protein found in skin and hair.
  • Elastin is paired collagen in the dermis skin layer and gives structural support to the skin. It is the stretchy structural proteins that allow the skin to snap back into place.
  • Elastin is especially vulnerable to sun damage.
  • Elastin is as important as collagen for the appearance of younger skin
  • Elastin can be replaced in the skin, but fewer products address the loss of skin elastin.

 

Featured PRODUCTS Containing Watercress

We love Watercress in an eye treatment!

Watercress is found in skin-savvy beauty brands such as SK-II.

This Farmaesthetics Watercress Eye Gel contains Watercress and certified organic herbs, flowers, and oils from American family farms. An ideal combo to restore, revitalize and refresh. Plus it comes in this charming cobalt bottle.

Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream

· 1 Comment

Unlike most Vitamin C creams, Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream’s potent anti-aging punch is delivered in a formula that offers extreme hydration. And it comes with an adorable little bamboo spoon to hygienically scoop out just the right amount for face and throat. Check out the synergistic actives in this brilliant formulation.
Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream

Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream

 

About Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream

Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream is filled with 19 synergistic actives!

It delivers three bio-available Vitamin C’s. This trio of Vitamin C addresses the full spectrum of what C has to offer.

The three Vitamin C’s are:

  • Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is ideal for sensitive skin. It is less exfoliating but produces collagen and suppresses discoloration.
  • Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate absorbs deeply and works well with other Cs.
  • Ascorbyl Glucoside is a stable C that offers antioxidant protection, collagen boosting, and fading hyperpigmentation.[1]

Along with this trio of C’s, Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream contains multiple anti-aging superstars such as Reishi and Cloudberry.

Cloudberry Cloudberry has four times the Vitamin C of an orange. It builds collagen, fights off attacks on collagen, reduces wrinkles, and hydrates.

The Experience

It is a rich, creamy, and spreadable texture that dries down smooth and not sticky or tacky.

The smooth texture of Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream is tempting to slather, but it is a treating cream, so just use the spoonful.

It does not sting, but when I applied it, I could tell it was potent.

Reishi mushroom

Reishi mushroom

 Reishi mushroom promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.

Best Use Tips & Tricks

Don’t layer other actives with Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream.

If you MUST add a top layer, make sure it is a cream with no extra treating actives. But there are plenty of soothing moisturizers in this formula so you likely will not need any secondary products with this cream.

Turmeric Turmeric extract is an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant that helps reduce and heal acne. It also reduces skin discoloration.

This gentle and hypoallergenic extract soothes skin, heals burns, and is great for helping skin recover. Chamomile Extract also kills the bacteria that causes acne while soothing skin. [4]

aqua 3G

This ingredient is rare in skincare products because it is quite pricey. It contains an algae extract called glyceryl-glucoside. Glyceryl-glucoside works with the Aquaporins, the water conduits of cells. It stops moisture loss.

 

Maqui Berry

Rich in antioxidants, maqui berry is an excellent anti-aging ingredient. This vibrant purple berry reduces inflammation [5].

 

Licorice root

Camellia Japonica Oil Ingredient Spotlight on Authentic Tsubaki

· Leave a Comment

We are featuring one of our favorite skincare beauty secrets: Camellia Japonica Oil. Learn about this prized ancient beauty secret weapon for lush, sleek hair and dewy, youthful skin.

Camellia Japonica Oil is also known as Japanese Camellia, common camellia, or Tsubaki Camellia. Tsubaki Camellia is the authentic Japanese Camellia seen in skincare ranges of brands such as Tatcha, Shiseido, and SK-II.

Camellia Japonica Oil is originally known as a prized, ancient Japanese beauty secret.  In writings and texts about traditional use, Camellia Japonica Oil is often referred to as Tsubaki. Geishas used Tsubaki Camellia to get silky, shiny hair and luminous, youthful, soft skin.

Camellia Japonica oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of this lovely bloom.  Camellia Japonica Oil is effective at transdermal collagen and elastin delivery.

Camellia Japonica

Camellia Japonica Oil comes from this lovely bloom.

 

Why We Love Camellia Japonica Oil

All camellia oil variants help skin, but Camilla Japonica oil is the real deal.

An excellent antioxidant and moisturizer, Camellia Japonica oil is rich in oleic acid, better known as Omega 9.  Omega 9 helps the skin retain hydration.

Camellia japonica oil also contains polyphenols, vitamins A, D, C, and E.

This non-comedogenic oil promotes skin elasticity.[1]

This variant of Camellia oil is the most effective at transdermal collagen and elastin delivery. Choose cold-pressed whenever possible.

Camellia Japonica is a pale golden lightweight oil.  It is similar to a hemi-squalene in its’ consistency. Because it feels light, it is easy to over-apply.

TIP: Only use a few drops and warm it in your hands before application. Pat, don’t rub onto skin.

It is a non-greasy and an excellent moisturizer but less is more when using authentic Japanese Camellia.

Tsubaki Camellia works wonders on dry, flat, dull hair. The fatty acids quickly absorb into the hair.

One bottle should last for quite some time. It only takes a few drops.

 

Locating Authentic Tsubaki

Authentic Camellia Japonica oil is elusive to procure but worth the effort. There are three kinds of camellia oil. All three benefit the skin, but authentic Tsubaki will only appear on the product ingredient label as Tsubaki or Tsubaki Camellia but more often as Camellia Japonica Oil or Japanese Camellia.

The following are skin-enhancing Camellia Oils, but not the authentic Tsubaki you want for the most skin benefits:

  • Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil smooths rough skin patches and repairs the skin barrier. It also smoothes hair in a conditioner or leave-in serum.
  • Camelia Sinensis is the leaves of green and white tea. It is an anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant with EGCG. EGCG enables the production of new cells in the epidermis [2].  Impressive, but not the collagen and elastin production powerhouse of genuine Camellia Japonica Oil.

Once you have procured authentic Tsubaki, here is how to use it on skin and hair:

 

How to Use Camellia Japonica Oil on the Hair

A wood comb helps distribute the oil without snagging hair

A wood comb helps distribute the Tsubaki oil without snagging hair

Tsubaki can be applied to wet or dry hair to serve as a conditioning treatment or styling agent. It is traditionally distributed through the hair with a Tsuge wooden comb. As seen in the photo, there are no sharp edges that can snag or damage the hair. The Tsubaki oil also conditions the wood, giving it a beautiful luster and depth to the grain.

Camellia Japonica Oil Leave-In Hair Treatment

For leave-in hair treatments, apply the oil to wet hair after washing. Allow hair to dry wrapped in a towel or air dry as much as possible. Comb after drying to distribute the oil.

Tsubaki Camellia for Hair Shine and Finishing

Tsubaki Camellia can be used on dry hair as a finishing treatment. It creates a lovely high sheen.

Our best tip for finishing hair with Tsubaki is to start with the least amount of oil you can dispense from the bottle.

Dispense just a few drops, even for long hair. Always warm Japanese Camellia Japonica oil between the palms. Spread on dry hair using the palm of the hands. Comb through with a Tsuge wooden comb if possible. Concentrate on the dry ends of the hair, and the comb will transfer the oils to the rest of the hair to evenly distribute.

Comb it through, and only add more Tsubaki as needed. Very little Camellia Japonica oil goes a long way.  A dropper full is way too much. Practice plenty and count how many drops you dispense to hone your ideal amount for the next use.

Tsubaki creates a lovely healthy sheen to the hair while providing conditioning benefits.

How to Use Camellia Japonica on the Skin

Care of the skin was a ritual with this ancient beauty secret: none of the rubbing, scrubbing, or squeezing we tend to subject our skin to today. The skin was treated like an inherited gift that required the investment of time and effort to care for the skin, especially on face, throat, decolletage and hands.

Camellia japonica is a highly moisturizing and anti-aging skincare oil

Camellia japonica oil is a highly moisturizing and anti-aging skincare oil

Camellia oil absorbs very quickly. It permeates deep into lower layers of skin, promoting cell growth, and giving skin support and flexibility.

 

HOW TO APPLY CAMELLIA JAPONICA OIL TO SKIN:

Dispense a few drops of oil, rub your palms together.

PAT the oil over your face and neck, don’t rub!

Spread the oil in small circular motions in a gentle massage until it is absorbed.

It can be applied directly to a pimple, wrinkles, and crow’s feet.  Camellia Japonica Oil can be used to treat eczema and dry patches.

 

Rice Bran Oil and Tsubaki

These oils are both wonderful for hair and skin but they work better when not mixed together.  Apply Tsubaki first and allow it ample time to absorb. Follow with Rice Bran Oil if desired.

Camellia Japonica Fast Facts

Camellia Japonica

Camellia Japonica Oil is extracted from the seeds of this lovely bloom. Camellia Japonica means shiny green leaf, denoting its’ foliage.

Tsubaki is:

  • the authentic form of oil traditionally used as a beauty secret of Geishas.
  • suitable for hair and skin
  • anti-oxidant
  • moisturizing
  • rich in skin-hydrating fatty acid Omega 9
  • restores bounce and elasticity to the skin
  • contains polyphenols, Vitamins A, D, C, and E
  • non-comedogenic
  • promotes collagen and elastin production
  • non-greasy
  • fast-absorbing
