Ayterion Agua™, living water produced by Perfect Science AD, Inc.,
works synergistically to magnify many-fold the healing and immune-stimulating
properties of aloe vera, beta glucan and vitamins A, C and E. Perfect
Science AD, Inc. is currently conducting studies to verify the anecdotal
evidence of the healing properties of Ayterion Agua™.
Beta-Glucan , a polysaccharide derived from the cell walls of yeast and composed
of glucose molecules, activates macrophages, the foundation cells of
the immune cascade. Activated macrophages are crucial in the body's
ability to heal wounds and produce the ground substances of normal
tissue. They produce epidermal growth factor (EGF), which increases
the production of collagen and elastin, thus improving the skin's appearance
and erasing fine lines and wrinkles. We use the finest, food-grade
beta-glucan.
Decyl Glucoside is an extremely mild, corn-based surfactant agent
for cleansing.
Diazolidinyl urea and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate is a vegetable-derived preservative with the trade name Germall Plus. Please see FAQ for more information on this preservative.
Dimethicone is a skin protector, moisturizer and friction reducer
produced from sand.
The Essential Oils in Novaurora products have calming, warming, and skin-clarifying energies. We use the finest, certified organic essential oils, when available.
Glycerol Stearate is a vegetable-based glycerin used as an emulsifier and skin conditioner.
Hyaluronic Acid softens, hydrates and moisturizes skin and stimulates its natural immune system. It is produced synthetically.
Jojoba is an American plant indigenous to the Sonoran desert of Arizona. Native Americans have used Jojoba for centuries to treat skin disorders. A natural, liquid wax ester, Jojoba provides nourishing, odorless, non-greasy moisturization and emolliency. It is non-comedogenic, spreads readily and absorbs easily into the skin, improving skin suppleness. We use the highest quality certified organic jojoba.
Konjac Glucomannan, obtained from the Asiatic tuber amorphophallus konjac , is both a skin conditioner and a natural thickener. It is a food-grade ingredient.
Lecithin occurs naturally in skin cells and helps to deliver moisturizing
agents to the skin. It is also an emulsifier, an agent which allows
fats and oils to form stable emulsions with water. We use only vegetable
lecithin.
MSM, methylsulfonylmethane, used in our Weekend Warrior Balm, has been shown to promote free movement in muscles and joints when taken internally or applied topically. This is a food-grade ingredient.
Shea Butter, from the nut of an oak-like tree of the African savannah , is a slightly ivory-colored, granulated butter consisting mostly of triglycerides and unsaponifiables. Clinical tests have shown that shea butter improves the skin's color and texture, combats skin "thinning," and visibly diminishes wrinkles from photoaging due to prolonged sun exposure. It is also a natural sunblock.
Sodium PCA is a component of human skin responsible for binding and
retaining moisture to cells.
Squalane is an oil-like substance found in human skin. The olive-oil-derived
squalane in Novaurora Rejuvenating Face Cream is compatible with human
skin, is very mild, yet has powerful skin-softening and water-attracting
properties.
Vitamin A improves skin elasticity, epidermal and dermal thickening, and helps reverse photodamage. Retinol , the form of Vitamin A in Novaurora products, stimulates skin tissue, collagen production and exfoliation.
Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant skin protectant which moisturizes and
stimulates collagen production.
Vitamin E , found in skin tissue,
acts as an antioxidant and a membrane-stabilizer while moisturizing
and softening the skin.
Xanthan Gum is a corn sugar gum thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer.
