Sea Buckthorn Extract

Sea buckthorn extract is a nutrient-rich powerhouse known for its remarkable skincare benefits, thanks to its unique blend of bioactive compounds. It is exceptionally high in palmitoleic acid (Omega-7), a rare fatty acid that promotes skin regeneration and helps repair damaged tissue, making it ideal for soothing dry, sensitive, or irritated skin. Sea buckthorn is also packed with linoleic acid (omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3), which work to restore the skin’s moisture barrier, reduce inflammation, and maintain hydration. Its vibrant color comes from a high concentration of carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which provide potent antioxidant protection, improve skin elasticity, and help reduce the signs of aging. Its phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol, enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, reduce inflammation, and calm irritation. Together, these chemical components make sea buckthorn extract a highly effective solution for promoting healthy, radiant skin, accelerating healing, and providing long-lasting hydration and protection.

Rosehip Extract

Rosehip extract is a potent and highly concentrated extract of the fruit of the rose plant. This extract is created by using a sustainable process, which yields an oil that is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. When applied topically to the skin, rosehip extract has numerous benefits that can help improve skin health and appearance.
It is renowned for its rich composition of essential fatty acids. With high levels of linolenic fatty acid (omega-3), it boasts potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively reducing redness and soothing irritated skin. Additionally, its content of linoleic acid (omega-6) and oleic acid facilitates the penetration of bioactives deep into the skin, enhancing their efficacy and promoting overall skin health.
Rosehip extract contains beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, that functions as a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radical damage caused by environmental stressors such as UV radiation and pollution. It also plays a role in promoting cell turnover and renewal, contributing to a smoother a complexion. Additionally, beta-carotene has been shown to have photoprotective properties, helping to reduce the risk of sunburn and UV-induced skin damage.
Similarly, lycopene, a carotenoid pigment found in rosehip extract, acts as a potent antioxidant. Like beta-carotene, lycopene helps neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe and calm irritated or inflamed skin.

Pomegranate Extract

Pomegranate seed oil, derived from the seeds of the pomegranate fruit, is a powerful skincare ingredient packed with unique chemical compounds that provide numerous benefits. Its high content of punicic acid Omega-5 fatty acid), making up about 60-80% of the oil, delivers potent anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and promote collagen production for improved elasticity and reduced signs of aging. The extract also contains the polyphenol ellagic acid, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress and UV-induced damage while preventing collagen breakdown. Vitamin E in pomegranate extract further boosts its antioxidant capacity, aiding in skin healing, reducing scars, and shielding against environmental stressors. Additionally, phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol, enhance the skin's moisture retention, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin’s barrier, making the oil especially effective for sensitive and dry skin.Altogether, pomegranate seed oil is highly moisturizing, anti-aging, and healing, with brightening properties that even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.

Frankincense CO2

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.
KEY COMPONENTS: Monoterpenes, triterpenes.

Carotene glow
Carotene glow fades my sun spots . Easy to use. Smells fresh and healthy like carrots. Orange carrot colour. Mix 2 drops with my skin serum day and night.


Probably better for younger skin
This was OK but I didnt see a glow after using it quite a few times. I am over 50 so it is probably a lot better for younger people. I love other Cocoon products.

Love it. Just a little colour . Subtle and light
Love all Cocoon products

Great product
Have been using Carotene Glow for a couple of years. I have found my sun/age spots have faded. Smells like carrots. It does stain so be careful with white clothing and countertop’s.

I love that it gives a nice tint to face cream or liquid foundation.

Small Vial of Summer Glow
I love that a drop or two of this added to my Rosy Cheeks cream or sunscreen adds a really natural glow to my face, especially in the winter months when all hope is lost. It’s like sunshine in a bottle. My only caution is that it can be very orange if not mixed or spread properly. Otherwise, excellent!

I love this product!
I first tried Carotene Glow in 2019 and have never looked back. I love how this makes my skin look and feel and when combined with Orange Blossom Facial Cream, it continues to be my 'can't live without' skin care must-haves. As a bonus - my aesthetician always comments on the wonderful condition of my skin!

Keeps me looking young
Using this has super boosted my skin care routine. I'll admit, i'm not 100% kind to myself. This makes up for it.

I love this!
I have been using this for some time now and I love it. I add it to my Rosy Cheeks moisturizer daily - just 2 drops!

Nice colouring for face
Great addition to skin care creams and serums for a nice glow to the skin. I use two drops of it

This Product is Amazing
I mix with my facial serum or oils in the winter and with my moisturizer in the summer. It has made such an amazing difference in my skin. It also works amazing if you get a bit to much sun. It has helped prevent peeling. I would not be without it.

Amazing product
Ive been using it for a week and can already see a huge transformation of my skin. Im 41 and its glowing daily! I will definitely buy it regularly.

Carotene glow

I've only been using it for a short time but great product and it really does make me glow! Would definitely order again...and I haven't even run out yet.

Works wonderfully
I've been using this product since the summer and have really enjoyed it. I mix it with my moisturizer in the morning and it helps keep my face nice and soft.

Great product!

Hi Dennis, What a lovely review! We are so happy your experience was delightful and that your daughter in law loves us also! Thank you for your support

It really works!
I love this product and have used it for quite some time. I mix 2 drops with my Orange Blossom face cream and compliment this with Rosehip oil.

Absolutely love the radiance this gives my skin!
I absolutely love this product I'm already on my second bottle. I love the way it makes my skin look. Sometimes I even mix it with a little bit of moisturizer and don't bother with makeup on a hot summer day. I love it so much I also use it at night time with my night moisturizer. Would definitely recommend this product.
