Arbutin is an extremely effective skin lightener and antioxidant that is made from the bearberry tree. Arbutin is a natural alternative to skin lighteners such as hydroquinone that have been associated with dangerous side effects. Arbutin avoids side effects and odors. It reduces free radicals that damage and age the skin, contributing to brighter more radiant skin. Arbutin also has antibacterial properties, thus making healthy skin.

Allantoin is formed in the body as well as in natural products such as wheat germ. It works to heal, moisturize and smooth the skin, and fights toxins and irritants. It also removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and contributes to making healthy skin and brighter skin.

Shea Butter, a natural moisturizer and skin tightener, is derived from the nut of the karite tree of West Africa, where it is commonly used in soap. Shea Butter promotes healing and regeneration of the skin and protects it against ultraviolet light and against drying, cracking, burning and wrinkling.

Lumiskin is an extraordinary new antioxidant product made from Chilean tree bark. Lumiskin gives dramatic results in controlling melanin, the pigment that makes skin darker. It inhibits stress receptors, so that your skin doesn't turn discolored. Lumiskin has been found to make the skin more radiant, to lighten complexions effectively, and to make skin color more even.

Squalene a natural antioxidant found in your skin. By fighting the free radicals that damage and age your skin and the rest of your body, it helps your skin remain healthy and radiant, while also working to fight off infections. Aside from being found in skin, Squalene occurs in both fish and various vegetables. Studies are under way currently to examine Squalene's anticancer properties in addition to healthier skin.

Evening Primrose Oil is extracted from the seeds of the evening primrose plant (Oenothera biennis) that grows in parts of North America, Europe and Asia. Native Americans and early European colonists used evening primrose root to treat such conditions as hemorrhoids, stomachaches, sore throat, and bruises. We now know that Evening Primrose Oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent reddening and scarring of the skin. It also works to maintain the shape and texture of the skin, to prevent wrinkles and to limit the effects of skin aging. Evening Primrose Oil is one of the most valuable ingredients in keeping your skin healthy and bright.

Vitamin A is an antioxidant that is necessary in many different ways, including for healthy skin, sight and bones. Vitamin A helps improve skin pigmentation by eliminating aging spots, and works to makes your skin firm and to counteract wrinkles. It also helps get rid of dead cells on the skin surface. Vitamin C is basic in keeping healthy skin, as well as your blood, bones and brain. Vitamin C has recently been found to inhibit melanin, meaning that it works to keep your skin lighter. As an antioxidant, Vitamin C opposes the production of free radicals that damage skin and make it lose its luster. It also helps your skin keep its shape. Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals. Vitamin C and Vitamin E make each other more effective, and work best to make healthy skin bright when they are together.

Grapefruit Extract is one of the most effective and widely used natural products to fight skin infections. Grapefruit Extract helps make healthy skin and undamaged without toxic side effects.

Z Whitener is another new natural ingredient that helps lighten your skin without the side effects of hydroquinone, and increases the effectiveness of Arbutin.
