Sea Buckthorn Extract
Sea buckthorn extract has become a popular ingredient in skincare products due to its numerous benefits for the skin. Extracted from the sea buckthorn plant, which grows in the Himalayan region and other parts of Asia and Europe, this extract is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.
One of the main benefits of sea buckthorn extract is its ability to moisturize the skin. The extract contains high levels of essential fatty acids, such as omega-3, -6, and -9, that help keep the skin hydrated and supple.

These antioxidants also stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity.
Furthermore, sea buckthorn extract has been shown to help treat a variety of skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and rosacea. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with these conditions, while its moisturizing and antioxidant properties can help soothe and protect the skin.

When applied topically to the skin, Rosehip CO2 has numerous benefits that can help improve skin health and appearance.
One of the primary benefits of Rosehip CO2 is its ability to hydrate and moisturize the skin.

BOTANICAL NAME: Rosa canina (of dogs: Dog Rose)
EXTRACTION: CO2 (Supercritical Extraction): A method of extracting plant chemicals by using pressurized CO2 as a solvent. It is one of the most efficient extractions to create a substance that embodies the entire plant rather than just the essential oils or triglycerides (cold-pressed oils).
DESCRIPTION: Rosehip (Rosa canina) CO2 is extracted from the seeds of the rose fruit, also referred to as "hips." The rose hips harvested for Cocoon products are from the Rosa canina species which is native to Europe, northwest Africa and western Asia. Rosehip has been used for centuries to sooth skin, and it is thought that its use dates back to Ancient Egypt. The seeds of the rosehip from the rose bush are packed with the two essential fatty acids - omega 6 linoleic acid and omega 3 linolenic acid - that are known for their soothing barrier repair and maintenance. This CO2 also contains skin-penetrating oleic acid, beta-carotene, phytosterols, and vitamin E. It is often golden orange in colour and has a light vegetable smell.

This oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids, which makes it a popular ingredient in the beauty industry, especially in skin care products.
One of the most significant benefits of pomegranate CO2 is its ability to nourish and protect the skin. The high concentration of antioxidants in the oil helps to fight against free radicals that can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging and other skin concerns. Antioxidants also help to reduce inflammation in the skin, making it an effective ingredient for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Pomegranate CO2 is also rich in punicic acid, a type of omega-5 fatty acid that helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier function. This means that it can help to lock in moisture and prevent water loss, which can help to keep the skin hydrated and plump. This makes it an excellent ingredient for people with dry or dehydrated skin.
In addition to its hydrating and protective properties, pomegranate CO2 also has anti-inflammatory benefits. This means that it can help to calm and soothe irritated skin, making it an excellent ingredient for people with rosacea or other inflammatory skin conditions.
Overall, pomegranate CO2 is a powerful ingredient that can provide a range of benefits for the skin.

BOTANICAL NAME: Boswellia carterii
EXTRACTION: CO2 (Supercritical Extraction): A method of extracting plant chemicals by using pressurized CO2 as a solvent. It is one of the most efficient extractions to create a substance that embodies the entire plant rather than just the essential oils or triglycerides (cold-pressed oils).
DESCRIPTION:
Frankincense extract from the Boswellia tree has always been a prized medicinal, beauty, and perfume/incense ingredient with evidence of it being traded in North Africa and the Middle East for at least 5000 years. The word Frankincense means ‘high-quality incense’. In Arabic, it is called olibanum meaning ‘of milk’ and in Hebrew it is called labonah, a word for white, referring to the appearance. It has been used in temples and churches for thousands of years. It is a medicinal ingredient in both Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Today, it is grown in mostly Somalia, Ethiopia, and India. The resin is harvested from trees as a hard substance known as tears that form after being purposely cut. As the essential oil has grown in popularity over the last 10 years, the demand has created an issue because harvesters are cutting the trees too much which eventually destroys them. It is important to know who is harvesting frankincense and if they are doing it sustainably. The supplier of the extract we purchase is FairWild® certified. That means only a few collecting families are authorized, thus yields are extremely limited. Their precious groves of Frankincense trees are rotated and scratched for gum harvest only every third year.
The reason why frankincense is so popular in skin care is because the same healing, antiseptic properties that heal its trunk also heal our skin. The reason we use the extract in our Carotene Glow Antioxidant Booster is because it contains potent triterpenes such as boswellic acid that is shown to regulate collagen turnover by targeting the enzyme collagenase. Other valuable compounds that are also in the essential oil are caryophyllene, insensol, and alpha-pinene.
The scent is earthy, sweet, woody, and spicy.
KEY COMPONENTS: Boswellic Acid, alpha-pinene, insensol and caryophyllene.
