Royal Jelly is for real!

It is a 100% natural product that is actually derived from the secretions of male worker bees. In an active bee colony, worker bees feed these rich secretions to the hive queen and the bee larvae.

When Royal Jelly is used as part of a skin care routine, you need only massage a small amount into the skin. Within seconds, the skin will begin feeling tighter and fine lines and wrinkles will be much less noticeable.

Aloe Vera:

Aloe Vera increases the availability of oxygen to the skin and thereby aids synthesis and strength of the skin tissues. Aloe Vera lotions are widely used for cleansing the skin. Many of the skin care products containing aloe Vera are also fortified with Vitamin E and collagen to maintain the skin's elasticity and suppleness and keep the moisture in.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein in your body that makes up about 80 percent of your skin. It is responsible for giving your tissue and organs strength, and is essential for good body health. But, as we age, collagen's support structure begins to break down, and we experience signs of aging and the collagen in your skin begins to degrade There are many treatments on the market to combat signs of aging, and one of those is collagen cream.

Skin forms wrinkles and folds, brown spots and spider veins, and the pores enlarge. This process is greatly sped up by sun exposure. In fact, 90% of the wrinkled, distressed skin we associate with aging is caused not by the passage of time, but by a lifetime of sun exposure. (For evidence of this, consider how different the skin on your buttocks looks compared to that on your face or forearm!)

The loss of collagen in your skin can make you look older and more tired than you actually are. Fortunately, a variety of inject able collagen products are now available to help you replace some of that lost collagen and rejuvenate your skin.

Jojoba oil is very stable, does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.

Spreads well and absorbs well.

The organic variety is free of pesticides, and is sustainably farmed.
