Our skin is composed of three layers. Stretch marks occur in the middle layer, called the dermis. The dermis is the skin’s elastic layer, allowing our skin to stretch and snap back into shape. When this layer is continuously stretched over a long period of time, its elasticity breaks down. The skin tries to reinforce itself by increasing the amount of strong supporting fibers known as collagen. The result is the scars we call stretch marks.
Stretch marks may form during pregnancy, or while exercising, running, walking, cycling, swimming, weightlifting or any other strenuous physical activity or when losing and gaining weight. Even while growing, your skin naturally stretches, making it taut and tight. If your skin does not have sufficient elasticity, flexibility and lubrication, stretch marks will most likely be the result. Stretch marks are normally found on the stomach, flanks, laps, breasts, hips and buttocks.
The PRODUCT is an advanced botanical cream specially formulated to diminish stretch marks. Each application is power packed with a high concentration of active botanical extracts, cocoa butter, shea butter, vitamins C and E, hydrating agents and emollient oils.
The cream penetrates deep into the skin and promotes the formation of new connective tissue by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in and around the stretch mark. It works to regenerate and overcome those unappealing marks.
The cream is safe, soothing and gentle to your damaged skin.
Cocoa and Shea butters have been successfully used over the years for their natural skin soothing properties. They help prevent the formation of stretch marks. This healing process is due to the butters’ effect on growth of collagen in our skin.
Avocado oil and almond oil are added for additional skin care characteristics.
Due to its skin penetrating property, lanolin has long been recognized for restoring the pliancy and youthful appearance of the skin.
Vitamin E is a healing agent for the skin and has the ability to counteract premature skin aging.
Ivy acts as a penetrating agent, relieving congestion and favoring elimination of toxins.
Horsetail brings bio-minerals necessary for collagen and elastin synthesis. Its organic silicone as a structural agent will organize these newly synthesized constituents to rebuild the connective tissue.
Centella stimulates biosynthesis of collagen and elastin. It has a soothing and anti-inflammatory action on the skin.
