How It Works
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a common ingredient in skincare products and has been used for over 50 years in clinical dermatology. Topical vitamin E may help relieve dry, itchy skin. Vitamin E may also help prevent UV and free radical damage to the skin—such damage can contribute to the appearance of skin wrinkles and prematurely aged skin.
Grape Seed
Grape seed oil is extracted from the small seeds found inside grapes. Grape seed oil contains an array of antioxidants compounds, including vitamin E, that help protect skin from oxidative damage. Grape seed oil also boasts excellent emollient properties that moisturize and hydrate the skin, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging.
Olive Oil
Olive oil is one of the primary sources of oleic acid, a long-chain fatty acid favored for its use in enhancing the transdermal (through the skin) delivery and absorption of active ingredients in topical preparations. Olive oil is said to have a protective toning effect on the skin and to positively influence the skin’s moisture content. Olive oil also contains bioactive polyphenols that can significantly reduce wrinkles and promote skin health.
Ingredients
100% pure oils of Sunflower seed, Safflower seed, Grape seed, and Olive fruit, with Tocopherol (natural vitamin E).
Quality
Nature’s Sunshine Quality Assurance staff sources the world's purest ingredients, no matter where they are grown, to ensure the active nutrients are delivered just as nature intended. Hence, our oils often come from small, family-owned farms in developing regions as remote as Tunisia or Madagascar.
Botanical supply experts inspect these sites and, as with all of our oils, third party and in-house GC/MS testing verifies the materials are pure and free of contaminants like chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or other adulterants.
Recommended Use
Use alone or as a carrier for topical application of Nature’s Sunshine Authentic Oils.
Dilute 7-15 drops of essential oil per tablespoon of carrier.
Keep out of reach of children. For best results, store in a cool, dark place.
