Watercress – Our Star Ingredient - The Superfood For Your Skin

Watercress is one of the oldest known aquatic plants with history dating back to the Romans, Persians and Greeks. Rich in vitamins A, C, E and K, these active ingredients are known to fight premature aging. The Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) measures a food sources nutritional value. This single plant rates at the top of this index, being only one of four plants/vegetables to score a full 1000. Watercress also scores a full 100 on the Nutrient Density List for the Center for Disease Control.

Gram for gram, this vitamin-packed plant contains more bioavailable vitamin C than citrus fruits, 312% of the daily recommended value for vitamin K and has shown to be effective in reversing the DNA damage to blood cells. Watercress protects the skin from free radical damage. It is high in antioxidant flavonoids. It is nature’s richest source of phenylethyl isothiocynate (PEITC) which is useful for preventing cancer. It is a source of lutein and beta-carotene which helps to maintain skin health and balances the skins moisture levels and reduces puffiness. When applied, watercress penetrates the dermal layers of the skin supplying it with key nutrients and hydration. For generations, we have known of the health benefits of watercress and its abundant rich nutrients. Only Sacred Mama can bring this goodness to your skin through its advanced formula.

Research on skin elasticity from the Shiseido Group™, the global Japanese cosmetics company, shows that Type III collagen begins to deteriorate in people in their 30s, thereby beginning to lose elasticity. Results of the Shiseido research indicate that “watercress extract works on the dermal cells and promotes the production of type III collagen.” Read Study Here

 

Abyssinian Oil – Skin Care’s Best Kept Secret

One of the newest oils to gain popularity in the market is Abyssinian oil, a cousin to our hero ingredient, Watercress. Derived from the mustard plant and native to the Mediterranean, it is light in consistency and easily absorbs into the skin. Abyssinian oil contains a high level of unsaturated C22 fatty acids which contributes to its many nutritive and moisturizing properties. The abundance of linoleic and linolenic acids supplies the skin with anti-inflammatory and cellular regenerative benefits. It is also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A, Vitamins C, Vitamins E, and B Vitamins – Vitamins B1, B2, and B6. It also contains critical proteins and minerals that soften rough textures, which can also reduce the appearance of fine lines. Another feature that makes Abyssinian an excellent oil is that this oil is, chemically speaking, closest to the chemical composition of the natural oil produced by your skin. This means that Abyssinian oil will provide the closest natural hydration when compared to many other oils available in the market.

 

Hemp Seed Oil – Nature’s Most Perfectly Balanced Oil

The most nutritionally complete food source in the world is hemp oil. Derived from hemp seeds, this oil has an amazing natural ability to moisturize and condition the skin. Dubbed “nature’s most perfectly balanced oil,” hemp oil contains all of the 21 known amino acids and offers the perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. While this usually applies to the internal organs, it also applies to the largest organ — our skin! Hemp seed oil contains a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is rich in anti-inflammatory properties. This balanced oil serves to treat a wide range of skin conditions such eczema, acne, psoriasis, dry and itchy skin. It also doubles as a shield against outside environmental factors that speed up the aging process. Hemp seed oil is a powerful nutrient that increases the hydration, vibrancy, and natural beauty of your skin. We took this into account when we created our Superfood Beauty Oil blend!
