What we use in our products
Exposed
Oils
Castor
Oil: used around the world to
treat a wide variety of conditions such as skin keratosis,
ringworm, fungal and bacterial infections, wounds, abdominal
stretch marks (prevention), bursitis, sebaceous cysts,
warts, senile lentigo ("liver" or "aging"
spots), muscle strains, ligament sprains and itching.
Canola Oil: often associated
with providing glow to the skin and also with
the treatment of acne and other skin problems.
Coconut Oil: easy absorption
through the skin, giving it a soft, smooth texture. It is
ideal for the relief of dry, rough and wrinkled skin.
Grape Seed Oil: provides a
variety of healthy benefits, one of the most important being
their ability to slow down and reverse free radical damage and
reduce the risk of disease and slow skin aging. Grape seed oil is
a powerful antioxidant, 50 times more potent than Vitamin E and
20 times more effective than Vitamin C in destroying these free
radicals, harmful molecules that roam the body and damage cells.
Olive Oil: high in
antioxidants, including vitamin E. Antioxidants are
nutritional powerhouses that protect against age-accelerating
free radicals. The oil of this miraculous fruit will guard your
body and your skin
Shea Oil: Leaves skin smooth,
supple and soft. It quickly provides stretch mark prevention and
healing, as well as healing of bruises and burns.
Soy Bean Oil: studies have shown
that estrogen helps to preserve the skin's collagen content and
its elastic properties, while aiding the maintenance of skin
thickness. Soy, a natural selective estrogen receptor modulator
(or phytoestrogen), mimics the effects of estrogen to counteract
the negative effects of estrogen loss on the skin. Studies show
that Soy, applied topically, increases the skin thickness up to 7
percent in two months, and 11.2 percent in three months. Soy has
also been proven to improve skin hydration, smoothness and
firmness.
Butters
Coco
Butter: called the ultimate moisturizer, and
has been used to keep skin soft and supple for centuries. It is
one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats known,
and melts at body temperature so that it is readily absorbed into
the skin.
Mango Butter: has natural
emollient properties, high oxidative ability, wound healing, and
regenerative activity due to its high unsaponiable. Mango Butter
has been traditionally used in the rainforests and tropics for
its skin softening, soothing, moisturizing and protective
properties and to restore flexibility and reduce degeneration of
skin cells. It has a protective effect against UV radiation.
Dermatologists often recommend Mango Butter for treatment of
wrinkles, as most people who use it will notice decreased signs
of aging and the disappearance of lines and wrinkles.
Shea Butter: Leaves skin smooth,
supple and soft. It quickly provides stretch mark prevention and
healing, as well as healing of bruises and burns. Daily use on
the face and body drastically reduces sun exposure, which in turn
slows down the rate of aging due to external factors. Also acts
as a natural mantle against elements of cigarette smoke, smog and
chemical pollutants in the atmosphere.
Other Naturally Naked
Ingredients
Baking Soda: will help soften
and smooth skin.
Cornstarch: Has antibiotic
qualities and can be soothing.
Citric Acid: Can help refresh
skin and reduce the look of aging by promoting new skin growth
and destroying free radicals.
Goats Milk: Since Cleopatra
filled her bathtub with it, fresh goat’s milk has been
revered for its superior moisturizing properties.
Goat’s milk leaves your skin feeling silky smooth and supple
because of its unique protein structure. Shorter protein
strands allow for easy absorption. A whole host of natural
minerals and vitamins in fresh goat’s milk are absorbed
right along with all that protein, helping to nourish healthy
skin and heal rough dry patches.
Soy Milk: Helps fight the
effects of UV radiation on the skin by acting as antioxidants
that mop up free radicals. Soy contains isoflavones, like
genistein, which are especially potent in this regard. Other
components of soy like phytates, saponins and lignins also have
antioxidant properties. Thus soy protein helps strengthen the
skin by decreasing the wear and tear of the tissue proteins.
Soy Wax: Soy, a product of
nature, is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and is one
of many plant oils that are biologically active against free
radicals which can damage skin. Soy contains powerful nutrients
to help build, maintain and repair the skin by providing
moisture, barrier protection and evening out skin tone.
Vegetable Glycerin: With many
anti-aging benefits, its excellent moisturizing properties aid in
keeping skin looking young and healthy. Retaining moisture is
vital for keeping skin in its best condition. It also draws
oxygen into the skin, which is beneficial for anti-aging as well.
There are many factors that cause dry skin and accelerate aging,
and vegetable glycerin is an effective agent against these
elements.
Chamomile:
used to treat a number of everyday ailments, such as: Insomnia
and other sleep disorders, anxiety and Panic Attacks, Muscle
twitches, Wounds, burns, and scrapes, Skin conditions such as
psoriasis, eczema, chickenpox, and diaper rash
Dead Sea
Salts: The balance of the salts in Dead Sea
water are magnesium, potassium, calcium chloride and bromides. Why
are these types of salts beneficial? Magnesium is important for
both combating stress and fluid retention, slowing skin aging
and calming the nervous system. Calcium is effective at
preventing water retention, increasing circulation and
strengthening bones and nails. Potassium energizes the body,
helps to balance skin moisture and is a crucial mineral to
replenish following intense exercise. Bromides act to ease muscle
stiffness and relax muscles. Sodium is important for the
lymphatic fluid balance (this in turn is important for immune
system function). So we can see that bathing in high quality sea
salt could replenish the minerals which are critical to our skin
metabolism.
