by 2 Comments

Originally published on prnewswire.com.

Charlene Bollinger, who has spent over a decade spreading the truth about toxic cancer treatments and the benefits of alternative approaches through her organization The Truth About Cancer (TTAC), is announcing the launch of her sustainably sourced and all-natural cosmetic skincare line — CHARLÍS.

TTAC has educated millions about the dangers of chemically based mainstream cancer treatments through documentary films and live seminars across America. Bollinger’s commitment to educating the public about natural paths to cancer remission and potential cures led her to create a line of skincare for women that maintains the same approach when it comes to cosmetics, simply providing them with toxin free alternatives. 

CHARLÍS aims to provide luxury skincare for real women, made only with the best all natural ingredients. The skincare line features an assortment of cleansers, toners, serums and moisturizers that are produced and manufactured right here in the United States of America. 

“As a female entrepreneur and patient advocate, I have always wanted to develop my own line of skincare. My commitment to only the best sustainably sourced ingredients has made this a labor of love for our team. After rigorous testing, we have finally created something that we can not only truly be proud of, but feel confident that it gives your face that ‘breath of life’ so many women are looking for,” explained Bollinger. 

From apple stem cells to aloe leaf juice, the CHARLÍS line of cosmetics looks to nature in order to help women tackle those wrinkles and give them that confident vibrancy everyone desires. 

“With CHARLÍS, you can truly #FreeYourSkin of those toxic chemicals found in nearly every luxury cosmetic line that you see in stores or online. The world we live in has the keys to success when it comes to our skin, and with CHARLÍS, you can unlock that limitless potential to become your best self,” stated Bollinger.

CHARLÍS officially launched on November 26th (Black Friday) with 30% to 50% off the entire line. To learn more about the CHARLÍS toxic-free, luxury skincare line, you can visit www.CHARLIS.beauty.

Summer Lilac: The Best Protection for Your Skin

by 7 Comments

Over time, our skin is exposed to damage from many sources. UV exposure, oxidation, and the steady passing of time can leave our skin looking worn and tired. But there’s an amazing, plant-based compound that can help keep your skin healthy while repairing and preventing the damage that results in the signs of aging. It’s called Buddleja Davidii Extract.

Commonly called “‘summer lilac” or the “butterfly bush,” this fragrant flowering plant has proven a valuable skin care ingredient due to its anti-aging benefits. This bush is native to the Chinese provinces of Hubei and Sichuan, and can also be found in Japan. However, it’s also made its way into the United States, where it’s been classified as an invasive species in several states, including Oregon and Washington.

The plant is prized for its ornamental qualities, and is also a valuable source of nectar for butterflies and some other insects. But beyond this, it’s becoming used in skincare products more frequently.The fast-growing shrub is shown to help protect skin from photo damage, oxidative stress, and UV radiation.

Buddleja Davidii Extract contains a powerful antioxidant with soothing and moisturizing properties. This active ingredient helps prevent the appearance of aging. It’s considered as the Natural DNA bodyguard by stimulating skin’s self-repair functions.

Buddleja davidii is loaded with antioxidants that help fight back against skin aging and inflammation. It also helps stimulate your skin’s self-repair functions, improving the overall texture and appearance of your skin.

Extract from the butterfly bush has been clinically proven to help protect against damage from UVA rays. This wavelength of UV light from the sun is associated with accelerated skin aging, so products with Buddleja davidii extract can help you avoid skin damage and stay safe in the sun.

Buddleja davidii is also high in amino acids, phytosterols, and polysaccharides, which help contribute moisturizing properties to skincare products, and soothe dry, irritated, or damaged skin.

In their stem cell form, Buddleja Davidii provides immediate and high protection against photoaging, which is the premature aging of skin from exposure to UVA rays. This is especially important, as sun damage can contribute to the signs of aging. 

Extracts from the buddleja davidii, like many plant extracts, have powerful antioxidants and also help to reduce inflammation. Both of these properties are important in anti-aging skin care, as the antioxidants are protective against damaging free radicals and the anti-inflammatory property helps improve skin repair.

Summer lilac also has amino acids and moisturizing properties that can help hydrate, soothe, calm, and protect the skin. Here are just a few of the many benefits of Buddleja Davidii for skin care:

Antioxidant properties: Summer lilac is loaded with antioxidants that help fight back against skin aging and inflammation. It also helps stimulate your skin’s self-repair functions, improving the overall texture and appearance of your skin.

Soothes skin: Summer lilac is high in amino acids, phytosterols, and polysaccharides, which help contribute moisturizing properties to skincare products, and soothe dry, irritated, or damaged skin.

Protects from sun damage: Summer lilac has been clinically proven to help protect against damage from UVA rays. This wavelength of UV light from the sun is associated with accelerated skin aging, so products with summer lilac extract can help you avoid skin damage and stay safe in the sun.

This powerful extract is a key ingredient in the CHARLÍS Nourishing Anti-Aging Toner, which hydrates, restores pH balance, and brightens to reveal softer, smoother skin fully prepped for your skincare routine.

In addition to Buddleja Davidii Extract, the CHARLÍS Nourishing Anti-Aging Toner also utilizes the following ingredients:

ORGANIC ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE: Aloe Barbadensis is another word for Aloe Vera. Aside from being a staple in your mother’s medicine cabinet for sunburned skin, this amazing plant has been used by different civilizations for centuries for a range of skin care, health, and medicinal purposes. It’s a great moisturizer and also helps wound healing and skin regeneration in general.

ALPINE ROSE: Grown on the slopes of the Alps, Alpine Rose (aka Rhododendron) eliminates senescent skin cells, increases skin elasticity, nourishes skin stem cells, and helps reduce and repair damage caused by environmental stressors like UV radiation. Alpine Rose really sets itself apart by its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen makes up the foundation of your skin and is responsible for giving you a smooth, youthful complexion.

CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA: Extracted from the fruit of a small tree, this sweet-smelling oil is great for toning, cleansing and gently antiseptic. It soothes skin irritations, minimizes the look of scars and other marks on the skin, and also helps even out skin tone by influencing melanin production.

ORGANIC CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS OIL: The essential oil from the rind of the orange, this oil has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin lightening, and anti-microbial properties and can be beneficial in skin care formulations. Hesperidin has also been shown to offer skin protection against UVA-induced damage of fibroblasts and collagen.

Beauty is more than skin deep. We want you to love your skin, and the CHARLÍS line of luxury skin care products will help you feel confident in your healthy, beautiful, radiant skin. For information on how to order the best skin care products on the market, please visit https://charlis.beauty/.

Thyme Oil: The Key to Vibrant Skin

by 1 Comment

As we grow older, our skin can become fatigued. Inflammation, poor circulation, and reduced elasticity can all contribute to sagging, wrinkled skin that has become the hallmark of aging. But you can reverse this degeneration with a natural ingredient that’s probably more familiar than its name suggests: Thymus Vulgaris.

Also known as garden thyme, thymus vulgaris has many benefits that go far beyond the kitchen. Thyme oil has been a culinary ingredient for so long that hardly anyone thinks of it in a context beyond the kitchen. But what if we told you that this is barely scratching the surface of all the benefits thyme oil has to offer?

Thyme oil may have been every chef’s best friend for a long while, but it has numerous beauty benefits as well. Thyme essential oil is an uplifting oil that stimulates the senses, clears respiratory pathways and perks up fatigued skin. 

While the ancient Greeks used it as an incense in temples, the ancient Egyptians used thyme for embalming. The Romans went a little ahead and used thyme for flavoring their alcoholic beverages. It said that thyme was even offered as a cure for people who were shy or melancholic.

Hippocrates, also called the Father of Western Medicine, recommended thyme for respiratory ailments (way back around 370 BC). And when the black death invaded Europe in the 1340s, posies of thyme were said to have been worn for protection.

Thyme oil offers benefits of antifungal and antiseptic properties. It also provides skin conditions with a clean surface to inhibit surface bacteria. With its circulatory and medicinal properties, Thyme oil also fortifies the skin. Dry skin can feel relief from itching and tightness. Acneic conditions receive incredible healing and antiseptic toning. Aging and tired skin is perked up and refreshed with tissue repair.

Thyme oil is known to stimulate, which is beneficial in skincare for circulation and increasing blood flow to skin. This perks up fatigued skin and boosts overall skin health.

With Thyme Oil’s incredible ability to increase circulation, scar tissue from acne or other skin injuries can slowly start to fade. As with many other essential oils, Thyme oil offers anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and stimulating properties. 

Overall, Thyme Oil is a skin tonic used for skin immunity and fortification of the tissue. These properties boost the overall health of the skin as it addresses specific issues, including acne while preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 

Studies have shown that thyme oil can suppress COX-2, which is an inflammatory enzyme that leads to several inflammatory ailments. Carvacrol, the major chemical in the oil, was found to play a role in this. Carvacrol was found to suppress inflammation similar to resveratrol – another powerful compound in red wine that has been linked to several health benefits.

Another study talks about how carvacrol and another compound called thymol in thyme essential oil can fight inflammation. The oil has also been used to ease the painful symptoms of arthritis.

Given its antibacterial and antifungal properties, thyme oil can protect your skin from related infections. It works as a home remedy for acne. The oil also heals sores, wounds, scars, and cuts. It even relieves burns and acts as a natural remedy for skin rashes.

Thyme oil may help reduce the symptoms of eczema as well – the embarrassing skin condition with dry and itchy scales that blister and crack. Eczema is often caused by poor digestion and stress – and since thyme improves the two conditions, it can help heal eczema as well.

And since thyme is high in antioxidants, it can slow down the aging process and give you healthy and glowing skin.

Thyme Extract actually boasts potent acne-fighting abilities given its antibacterial effect on Propionibacterium; the bacterium known to cause breakouts. Thyme also possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant (Thyme contains Vitamin C) properties that make it especially ideal for inflamed, acne-erupted skin.

For treating acne, you can use thyme along with witch hazel. Steep the two in hot water for about 20 minutes. Then, use a cotton ball to apply to the affected areas. Wait for 20 minutes and then wash off with warm water.

Thyme oil’s antibacterial properties are an exceptional element for cleansing skin (especially acne) to leave it more purified than ever. But there are other benefits to this amazing plant. 

By boosting circulation, Thyme helps stimulate blood flow to leave your skin glowing and youthful. It will also help to flush out toxins and to heal blemishes and scars to leave skin radiant and even.

It’s also renowned for its soothing properties. For a complexion that suffers from rosacea, irritation, blemishes or inflammation, Thyme oil works to heal these conditions and help skin to look and feel healthy.

If your skin needs an intense dose of soothing power, you can’t go wrong with Thyme. Thyme-infused masks and moisturizers may even reduce damage from free radicals, stress and pollution!

With its circulatory and medicinal properties, Thyme Essential Oil also fortifies the skin. Dry skin can feel relief from itching and tightness. Acneic conditions receive incredible healing and antiseptic toning. Aging and tired skin is perked up and refreshed with tissue repair.

Thyme Oil is known to stimulate, which is beneficial in skincare for circulation and increasing blood flow to skin. This perks up fatigued skin and boosts overall skin health.

Used topically and in cosmetics, thyme oil is ideally suited for those with oily skin. Its antimicrobial properties help to clear the skin, diminish texture issues, and achieve a more even, radiant complexion. 

In natural remedies, it can be used to boost the recovery of minor cuts, scrapes, sunburn, and skin infections, in addition to supporting the management of minor cases of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. 

Thymol is also thought to play a protective role against environmental damage on the skin, including the oxidative effects of UVA and UVB rays resulting from sun exposure. This suggests that thyme can be beneficial for anti-aging skin regimens as well.

That’s why we included it in the CHARLÍS Nourishing Anti-Aging Toner. A toner’s job is to gently refresh your skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. This means our toner won’t irritate sensitive skin or cause excessive dryness. It also prepares your skin to drink up your post-cleansing moisturizer and any other skin treatments in your care regimen.

In addition to Thymus Vulgaris, the CHARLÍS Nourishing Anti-Aging Toner also utilizes the following natural compounds: 

ORGANIC ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE: Aloe Barbadensis is another word for Aloe Vera. Aside from being a staple in your mother’s medicine cabinet for sunburned skin, this amazing plant has been used by different civilizations for centuries for a range of skin care, health, and medicinal purposes. It’s a great moisturizer and also helps wound healing and skin regeneration in general.

Perfluorodecalin: The Breath of Life Your Skin Craves

by 8 Comments

You may have heard about the oxygen-facial trend by now with stars like Madonna, Michelle Williams, and Emma Stone referring to them as the secret to preserving their skin’s youthful complexion.

Most dermatologists can agree that the oxygen facial is worthy of its reputation. The true secret behind its impressive results is its ability to drive oxygen into the skin, promoting circulation, which revs up your cell’s regenerative engine. 

Receiving oxygen facials from time to time can help the complexion, but the best long-term benefits are best achieved through consistent, daily treatment. There is a way to get these benefits daily through the use of a little-known ingredient created during WWII.

Perfluorodecalin is a fluorocarbon and derivative of decalin, and used in cosmetics and beauty products to dissolve and deliver oxygen to the skin in formulas. Perfluorodecalin’s ability to dissolve oxygen helps to revitalize skin and reduce wrinkles, increasing the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), according to research. Some studies have shown that formulas that include Perflurodecalin improve the skin’s barrier function resulting in increased moisturizing efficacy.

This liquid-breathing material takes on a similar role to red blood cells by enhancing the delivery of oxygen to cells. When applied topically, they deeply penetrate the skin barrier to deliver oxygen to cells, fortifying cell membranes and significantly promoting healthier skin.

Perfluorocarbons don’t just offer oxygen to the skin; they also ensure there’s a balanced-ratio through something called passive diffusion. In other words, they’re able to promote a state of equilibrium in the skin by moving oxygen from areas of greater concentration to areas of the skin that are lacking it.

Applying these oxygen-enhancing ingredients topically has also been proven to offer significant healing and repairing benefits to scarred and aging skin. Whether it’s with an oxygen facial or high-grade skincare products, it’s an easy way to experience unparalleled anti-aging, wound-healing, and moisture-enhancing benefits. So, it’s no surprise that they’ve grown beyond medical applications and into skincare.

Did you know that your skin loses its ability to retain and utilize oxygen by 25% by age 30? By the time you reach 50, that loss doubles to 50%. In areas with high pollution, those numbers can be even higher. 

Oxygen is nature’s ignition for cellular metabolism and is needed for optimal cellular turnover to preserve youthful looking skin. As we age, our skin’s ability to capture oxygen from blood circulation diminishes. Capillaries begin to deteriorate, limiting circulation of oxygen-loaded hemoglobin and vital skin nutrients. Moreover, sluggish circulation interferes with the evacuation of toxins leading to skin aging symptoms including wrinkles, age spots and loss of tone and moisture.

Our skin’s thirst for oxygen is vital in the production of collagen. Essentially, oxygen promotes metabolic processes within the dermis and viable cells to produce a higher state of activity. Oxygen enhances collagen formation in fibroblasts resulting in the strengthening of the connective tissue matrix to firm the skin.

By increasing the flow of oxygen to skin cells, perfluorocarbon helps the skin breathe optimally and self-regulate after being exposed to UV and polluted environments.

One study on aging skin confirmed that one of the inevitable consequences of getting older is that the skin cells receive a reduced supply of nutrients and oxygen. Fortunately, perfluorocarbons have the ability to increase the skin’s lacking supply of oxygen. This means that they can reverse some of the damage of aging and encourage a restored, rejuvenated complexion.

Several studies have proven that applying oxygen to wounds can significantly improve healing and even reduce the risks of infection. Since perfluorocarbons have the unique ability to carry more than 49% of their volume in pure oxygen, they’re incredibly effective at healing.

More importantly, Science Daily revealed that perfluorocarbons are also able to activate the cells in the immune system that stimulate the healing process. No wonder they’re so commonly found as an active ingredient in wound-healing treatments. Doctors apply these treatments onto major wounds to speed up the skin’s natural healing process, while many cosmetic surgeons also employ the benefits of these oxygen-carriers to post-op scars.

In short, perfluorocarbons carry oxygen to cells, allowing the skin to breathe and regulate itself for a healthy, radiant complexion. This also helps the skin retain significantly more moisture and keep the skin looking healthy and hydrated. What’s more, these oxygen-carriers have been proven to enhance the skin’s natural healing process of even the deepest of wounds and diminish the appearance of acne scars. 

CHARLÍS Breath of Life Oxygen Face Serum utilizes perfluorodecalin to breathe new life into your skin, giving your face a younger, healthier, and more vibrant complexion. Combined with our Daily Facial Cleanser, this oxygen serum is the perfect tool for supporting cellular respiration, smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, and encouraging microcirculation for brighter, healthier skin!

Here are some of the other ingredients we use to help you look and feel your best:

ORGANIC CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT: Calendula Extract prevents aging in two different ways: It promotes skin tightness, which reduces day-to-day damage, and it also increases hydration within the skin, which is one of the main ways to prevent signs of aging.

UBIQUINONE: Ubiquinone is also (and perhaps more popularly) known as coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. Applied to skin, it can have antioxidant benefits due to its energizing effect on factors in skin that tend to slow down with age and cumulative sun exposure.

ORGANIC CITRUS PARADISI PEEL OIL: Extracted from the peel of the grapefruit, this oil contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that help promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. It also contains astringent and tightening properties, and due to potent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, it’s the perfect ingredient to treat and protect acne-prone skin.

ORYZA SATIVA BRAN EXTRACT: Oryza sativa (rice) bran extract helps to soften skin. It is a rich source of over 100 antioxidant compounds, including vitamin E, ferulic acid, and oryzanol. The bran also contains moisturizing polysaccharides, omega-3 fatty acids, and micronutrients like calcium, selenium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.

Microalgae: The Best Choice for Graceful Aging

by Leave a Comment

From dry skin to cancer, working proactively to keep yourself healthy is an essential part of overall wellness and disease prevention. They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and that’s especially true when it comes to your skin. 

When it comes to younger-looking skin, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract is the clear choice. This amazing compound is a green eukaryotic microalga – microscopic algae that are invisible to the naked eye. 

Microalgae are a diverse group of single-celled and multiple-celled microorganisms that have survived all sorts of severe environmental conditions to become the oldest surviving organisms on earth. They have been used to provide nutrition to humans and animals for centuries. Chlorella is one such single-celled algae with substantial nutritional value enriched with proteins, minerals, and lipids.

This skin conditioning and protecting agent is believed to have powerful anti-aging benefits, mainly due to the fact that it’s a rich source of carotenoids- a family of nutrients that, when ingested, deposit into the skin and protect it from the harmful effects of UV rays (i.e., pigmentation, sunburn, cancer. In fact, Korean researchers have discovered that when Lutein (a carotenoid) was extracted from chlorella vulgaris, it blocked the growth of human colon cancer cells.

It’s also worth mentioning that chlorella vulgaris extract is loaded with amino acids such as lysine, proline, glycine, and alanine, all of which are the essential building blocks of proteins and constitute each individual collagen unit. Its large amino acid component leads many to believe that it has the ability to restructure and smooth out the surface of the skin, particularly with scarred or aging skin. 

Furthermore, chlorella vulgaris extract is an excellent source of methyl cobalamin, the most absorbable form of vitamin B12. The porphyrins contained in the extract possess a metal binding effect that may help detoxify the body, and recent in-vivo studies demonstrate how it can induce the rapid removal of lead from toxic lab animals.

With regards to its anti-aging benefits, many studies demonstrate the ingredient’s ability to prevent the breakdown of the skin’s collagen and elasticity, as well as generate the production of more collagen. In some instances, a small concentration of .016% stimulated collagen synthesis, and concentrations of .4% strongly increased the density of the epidermal layer. 

Other studies have shown that it can increase skin firmness, significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and be particularly useful in treating any skin tissue suffering from physical aggression like stretch marks from pregnancy, or skin damage from excessive sun exposure.

Probably the most important thing that chlorella does for the skin is detoxifying our skin cells from the inside out. When you remove unsafe toxins from your body, these sneaky hidden toxic hitchhikers don’t have the chance to damage your skin. Over time, eliminating these unhealthy substances will assist the skin both now and in the long-term giving you sustainable radiant, beautiful & tighter skin.

The vitamins & minerals found in Chlorella can be used externally in products such as body cleansers, masks or creams as a powerful effective topical healing agent. These topical deposits on the skin are known for speeding up the wound-healing process.

Chlorella vigorously stimulates the cells in our body forcing them to reproduce at a faster rate, thus resulting in new, healthy tissue. This new tissue looks younger & can lessen the visibility of scarred & damaged tissue. 

Chlorella is an effective acne treatment; one of the main benefits of chlorella is its ability to strengthen and detoxify the liver. This results in clearer skin, since fewer toxins are pushing their way to the skin’s surface. Chlorella also has high levels of vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids… of which all are good for you and your skin.

All of the nutrients found in Chlorella Vulgaris contribute to healthier skin & reduce inflammation, resulting in fewer surface breakouts & a better looking and feeling you. That’s why we made sure to include it in the CHARLÍS Restorative Anti-Aging Overnight Serum.

Along with oxidized glutathione, the Chlorella Vulgaris in this amazing overnight treatment will help replenish your skin while removing toxins and promoting new tissue growth. Here are some of the other key ingredients in the CHARLÍS Restorative Anti-Aging Overnight Serum:

ORGANIC ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE: Aloe Barbadensis is another word for Aloe Vera. Aside from being a staple in your mother’s medicine cabinet for sunburned skin, this amazing plant has been used by different civilizations for centuries for a range of skin care, health, and medicinal purposes. It’s a great moisturizer and also helps wound healing and skin regeneration in general.

PYRUS MALUS FRUIT EXTRACT: Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract is a species of apple; the pectin derived from it is used as a thickener in cosmetics and the fruit is a tremendous source of polyphenolic antioxidants, which lets it ably scavenge multiple types of free radicals before they damage skin.

ORGANIC CITRUS PARADISI PEEL OIL: Extracted from the peel of the grapefruit, this oil contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that help promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. It also contains astringent and tightening properties, and due to potent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, it’s the perfect ingredient to treat and protect acne-prone skin.

Hesperidin has also been shown to offer skin protection against UVA-induced damage of fibroblasts and collagen.

SODIUM HYALURONATE: Sodium hyaluronate has incredible hydrating benefits that address a number of skin concerns caused by a lack of moisture in the skin. It combats dryness, repairs a compromised moisture barrier, improves signs of aging, and leaves a non-greasy glow.

Swiss Apple Stem Cells: Nature’s Repairman

by 1 Comment

You’ve heard it said that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away!” But what if just a few drops of extract could offer even more healing benefits? Until several years ago, the tart, unappealing breed of the Swiss-grown Uttwiler Spätlauber apples, did not seem to offer anything of value.

That was until Swiss scientists discovered the unusual longevity of the stem cells that kept these apples alive months after other apples shriveled and fell off their trees. In the rural region of Switzerland, home of these magical apples, it was discovered that when the unpicked apples or tree bark was punctured, Swiss Apple trees have the ability to heal themselves and last longer than other varieties. 

As it turns out, apple stem cells work just like human stem cells, they work to maintain and repair skin tissue. The main difference is that unlike apple stem cells, skin stem cells do not have a long lifespan, and once they begin depleting, the signs of aging (like wrinkles and loose skin) start kicking in.

The high antioxidant content found in plant stem cells supports your skin in combating free radicals that would otherwise cause damage. They give your skin the tools to protect itself, offering immense anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. The boost of antioxidants and amino acids (building blocks of protein) boost collagen production and help keep your skin radiant and youthful.

In addition, plant stem cells release “messengers” such as growth factors, peptides and proteins to help rejuvenate targeted body cells. The use of apple stem cells helps to protect skin cells from the damaging effects of daily exposure to UV rays, repair damaged tissue, promote new healthy skin cell formation, and increase the skin’s cell vitality, longevity, and elasticity. 

Over time, our skin starts to show signs of aging, including loss of elasticity, thinning, discoloration and wrinkling. Apple stem cells target premature aging and fine lines, and they reduce the appearance of wrinkles. 

While plant stem cells can work to get more youthful skin, they are just one of hundreds of potential skin care ingredients. That’s why the CHARLÍS Breath of Life Oxygen Face Serum combines Malus Domestica Apple Cell Culture Extract with Perfluorodecalin to create the ultimate rejuvenating serum for your face. 

Here are some of the other ingredients we use to help you look and feel your best:

ORGANIC CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT: Calendula Extract prevents aging in two different ways: It promotes skin tightness, which reduces day-to-day damage, and it also increases hydration within the skin, which is one of the main ways to prevent signs of aging.

Kakadu Plum Extract: The Vitamin C Superstar for Smoother Skin

by Leave a Comment

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Failing to protect and maintain it can lead to a plethora of health issues. This is why it is so important to have a well-thought-out skin care routine. It is absolutely worth the time and energy to take care of your skin on a daily basis.

One of the keys to healthier, more vibrant skin is ensuring that you get all the nutrients your body needs. When it comes to skin care, there’s no ingredient more powerful than Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract.

Terminalia ferdinandiana (commonly known as Green Plum, Salty Plum or Kakadu Plum) is a native of Northern Australia. It is a small, green colored sour fruit, the extract of which is considered to be a nourishing skincare ingredient. This miracle fruit extract has therapeutic properties and is known for its beauty benefits. It is the best and richest source of Vitamin C. Its powerful antioxidant property revives, repairs and rejuvenates the damaged skin.

Kakadu Plum is a powerhouse of Vitamin C. It contains up to 5,000 mg of vitamin C per 100 gm as compared to 50mg per 100 gm for oranges. Vitamin C is also crucial for collagen production which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps our skin slow down the ageing process. 

Since it is found naturally in the fruit, it is used in a number of face care products such as face wash, face cream and face serum. However, in order to ensure that your skin gets the best results of Vitamin C, it’s best to use a serum as it has smaller molecules which deeply penetrate the skin and work from repairing and replenishing the skin from within. Kakadu Plum also works on improving skin elasticity which further helps to reduce the signs of aging.

 If you are struggling with hyperpigmentation, blemishes or dark spots then you must use a face serum with Vitamin C in it. One of the properties of Vitamin C is that it inhibits the production of melanin which causes skin discoloration, blemishes and hyperpigmentation. Regular usage of Vitamin C serum is known to help with skin brightening. 

Vitamin C in Kakadu Plum can help fight pimple-causing bacteria from the skin without harming the skin. Kakadu Plum is also anti-inflammatory which helps reduce inflammation and redness caused by acne and pimples. 

Decrease in collagen production due to age and exposure to harsh rays of the sun can lead to fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin and loss of elasticity. Kakadu Plum has Vitamin C along with gallic acid, ellagic acid which fight free radicals, hydrate the skin and prevent the skin from damage. Vitamin C also helps promote collagen formation which reduces signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. 

Thanks to their high antioxidant levels, Kakadu plums are the natural enemy of redness and inflammation. This makes Kakadu ideal for sensitive skin types, especially those with inflammatory conditions like acne or eczema.

“Kakadu plum brightens the complexion, reduces hyperpigmentation, and protects from harsh environmental aggressors, such as pollution,” says Andreas Abellana, the Creative Director for Australian skincare brand Generation Clay. It also makes for a firmer, plumper face by “helping to form proline, an amino acid that makes collagen.”

While that’s all par for the course for vitamin C skincare, Kakadu plums essentially take these properties to the next level. “They have superior antioxidant abilities with an Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) value five times that of blueberries,” says Dr. Audrey Kunin, a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of DERMAdoctor. 

“Kakadu plums contain both water and fat-soluble antioxidant compounds that together may provide more comprehensive protection against oxidative stress.” In layman’s terms, the ingredient is like a mega-forcefield that keeps pollution from harming your skin — while actively healing past environmental damage.

“Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant,” says Dr. Melissa Piliang, MD, dermatologist at Cleveland Clinic. “It can help our skin manage the oxidative stress that happens as part of daily living.”

She explains that oxidative stress is what rusts metal and turns bananas brown, and it also does damage that ages skin.This can be exacerbated by UV light and pollutants. By neutralizing free radicals, vitamin C helps to protect against that damage. “Vitamin C has been shown to help and prevent and treat UV light damage,” she says. “It makes skin appear brighter and fades dark spots and discoloration.”

Vitamin C also plays an important role in how our body makes collagen, which contributes to plump, firm skin, Piliang says. “As we age, the collagen and elastic fibers become stretched and less pliable. Think of an elastic waistband. Over time it stretches, and it doesn’t go back. As it wears out, our skin loses that tight appearance, and that’s where we get wrinkles.”

In short, by applying kakadu plum to your face, you dose your skin with collagen-producing, wrinkle-preventing vitamin C. To boot, kakadu plums contain two beneficial, skin-boosting acids, Piliang says. Gallic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that may alleviate skin redness, and ellagic acid helps improve skin elasticity.

The skincare wonder from Down Under has above-average antiseptic properties, too, which makes it “useful to clear pimple-causing bacteria,” Abellana says. “Kakadu also contains two other fantastic acids,” said Angela Kim, a natural K-beauty expert and the founder of Savor Beauty. 

“Gallic acid that naturally kills bacteria, which is great news for acne-prone skin; and ellagic acid, which reduces inflammation.” This combination makes Kakadu plum a multitasking must-have, able to treat everything from post-winter dullness to pimple emergencies.

Canadian Willowherb: The Perfect Weapon Against Inflammation

by Leave a Comment

Inflammation is the universal sign of an immune response in the body. Unfortunately, our skin can be especially prone to inflammation, resulting in redness, blemishes, and puffiness. But there’s a powerful herbal extract that is effective at combating inflammation while promoting healthier, younger-looking skin. 

Epilobium angustifolium extract (also known as burnt weed, willow herb, or fire weed extract) is naturally an antioxidant. It not only protects the skin from oxidative damage but also saves the preparation from undesirable changes due to oxidation/ chemical degradation/light/moisture. 

This plant has natural anti-inflammatory properties, perfect to soothe irritated skin, making this a great face cleanser for sensitive skin. Willowherb is also an antioxidant that can help prevent cell damage by protecting them from free radicals.

The tannins and flavonoids present in the extract are soothing agents also because they are anti-inflammatory in nature. Thus, it calms down the estimated or reddened sensitive skin. As per the reliable resources, it starts showing a soothing effect in as minimum as 30 minutes of use. 

It regulates the sebum production in the epidermal layer of skin, which is beneficial for acne-prone skin. Acne affected skin gets a two-way benefit of sebum regulation as well as a soothing effect on the skin. It is used alone and with various other extracts in skincare, especially in acne and anti-aging treatments.

Favored by Native Americans, the plant has long been used to soothe sensitive or environmentally stressed skin. Finally, it seems contemporary science has caught up, with independent human and laboratory-based studies finding that Epilobium Angustifolium Extract delivers a potent anti-inflammatory effect. 

“Fire weed” extract is also an antioxidant, delivering a potent anti-inflammatory effect and acts as a soothing agent, antioxidant and anti-acne agent. It soothes acne-prone skin and reduces erythema induced by chemicals and UV exposure. It can be used for sebum regulation, acne-prone skin, soothing, reducing inflammation, and sensitive skin.

As a powerful antioxidant, Epilobium Angustifolium Extract also prevents the cell damage otherwise inflicted by free radicals. Boasting greater oxyradical absorption than either the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase or L-Ascorbic Acid, this ingredient is gaining superstar status in botanical cosmeceuticals. 

For those who are suffering from confidence-debilitating acne, the ingredient’s antibacterial qualities work against Propionibacterium Acnes, the bacteria responsible for the condition.

We use Epilobium Angustifolium Extract in the CHARLÍS Daily Facial Cleanser – and for good reason! The skin on your face is some of the most sensitive skin on your body and it requires unique care. It’s thinner than the skin on the rest of your body, hence why it’s important to include a face cleanser in your grooming routine.

This plant has natural anti-inflammatory properties, perfect to soothe irritated skin, making this a great face cleanser for sensitive skin. Willow herb is a staple in modern skin formulations for premature aging, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties due to the phyto-compounds used in topical applications.

The unique anti-inflammatory and antioxidant synergy found in this extract make it an integral active ingredient for a wide range of products from creams and lotions to shampoos and baby wipes.

If you want to improve the resilience of your skin while reaping the many benefits of Epilobium Angustifolium Extract, look no further than the CHARLÍS Daily Facial Cleanser! Other superstar ingredients include:

Mustard Seed Extract: Nature’s Perfect Moisturizer

by Leave a Comment

Did you know that as many as 98% of the population suffers from some type of skin dehydration? Dehydrated skin is different from dry skin, so it’s possible to experience this dehydration even with oily skin. 

When it comes to caring for your skin, a daily moisturizer is essential… and finding the right product (with the right ingredients) is key. One of the most powerful ingredients to help combat dehydration and keep your skin healthy and vibrant is Brassica Alba Seed Extract.

Also known as White Mustard Seed Extract, this powerful compound is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and possesses anti-inflammatory properties. It also is packed with omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, antioxidants, and other minerals that offer numerous health benefits.

Mustard has been grown since ancient times and is better known for its healing properties than its culinary use. Mustard plant is a part of the cruciferous plant family – the same family of plant that includes cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale and cauliflower.

And while there are plenty of nutritional benefits from mustard seed oil, it is perhaps most potent for skin care. First, mustard seed oil provides excellent hydration for your skin. Mustard seeds, used with aloe vera gel, can act as a great combination to hydrate your skin. It removes all impurities from your face and nourishes it from within.

Mustard seeds are also a great source of carotene and lutein. It is also a great powerhouse of vitamin A, C and K. Together these nutrients make for an excellent antioxidant, which is extremely important when it comes to slowing the signs of aging. Mustard oil contains a compound that could be useful for reducing inflammation: allyl isothiocyanate.

One study found that allyl isothiocyanate has anti-inflammatory potential. The study’s authors noted this effect in cell cultures, which are cells that researchers grow in a controlled setting. However, they also found that the anti-inflammatory effect was much smaller in mice.

Results of a more recent study indicate that allyl isothiocyanate reduced inflammation and had a range of other benefits in mice with colitis, a condition that causes inflammation in the colon.

It works wonders on the skin as a natural cleanser. It can be used as a make-up remover as well, making sure that it doesn’t clog pores. This helps the skin get cleansed naturally within minutes. If you have acne and rashes, apply a few drops of mustard oil for 10-15 minutes daily to keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Dry, patchy skin is another concern when it comes to skin care – especially during the harsh winter months. Rubbing just a few drops of mustard seed oil on your face can help hydrate and repair damaged skin, leaving you feeling confident in your healthy, smooth skin.

Mustard oil is also a bountiful source of Vitamin E that gives you youthful skin by blocking the free radicals from your body. It also reduces the fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes that we commonly experience by penetrating your skin naturally. This process not only improves the complexion but also makes your skin smooth and supple.

No matter the time of year, sunscreen is an essential addition to your skincare routine. The high amounts of vitamin E present in mustard oil can help protect your skin from sun damage and environmental toxins by acting as a natural sunscreen.

Mustard seed oil is an essential part of the CHARLÍS Revitalizing Daily Moisturizer, but it doesn’t stand alone! In addition to the Australian sandalwood seed extract, this amazing moisturizer contains:

CARTHAMUS TINCTORIUS OLEOSOMES: Rich in safflower seed oil and vitamin E and linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid for moisture locking), these tiny oil droplets work both as natural emulsifiers as well as slow- time-released delivery systems, giving the skin long-lasting moisture to maintain the hydration of the skin.

Oxidized Glutathione: The Clear Choice for Clear Skin

by Leave a Comment

One of the most common signs of aging can be seen in our skin. Sun spots, blemishes, and other discoloration seem to be unavoidable as we age. But what if you could reverse that damage and restore your skin to its original, beautiful, smooth complexion? Oxidized Glutathione may be the answer.

Glutathione is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids − cysteine, glycine, and glutamine − and is produced naturally in the body. It is called the master antioxidant because it can regenerate itself in the liver after each “fill-up” of free radicals and go back to work. Free radicals are often the byproduct of normal cellular metabolic oxidation and toxic overload. They can lead to autoimmune diseases, several types of cancer, and even heart attacks.

Keeping yourself healthy, boosting your performance, preventing disease, and aging well all depend on keeping glutathione levels high. It is critical for immune function and controlling inflammation. It is the master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well.

Research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance, and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.

When it comes to skin care, oxidized glutathione is an essential part of any restorative regimen. It can help lighten your skin (helping to remove or conceal blemishes), reduce the damage caused by free radicals, and reduce wrinkles.

Although glutathione is generally used for treating health conditions, it is also an effective skin lightener. This is due to the presence of an amino acid called cysteine. This amino acid has been proven to lighten skin color in sun exposed skin. Glutathione lightens your skin in two ways:

  1. Glutathione lowers the production of melanin in your skin. Melanin is a substance that gives your skin, eyes and hair its color. 
  2. Glutathione also causes your body to produce lighter skin tones, rather than darker skin tones. 

Glutathione has another great skin benefit: Anti-aging. The most common cause of skin aging is photoaging. Photoaging is caused by repeated exposure to UV light from the sun. UV rays produce a substance called free radicals which damage our skin cells and cause early signs of aging.

This typically results in:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Uneven pigmentation resulting in things like freckles and age spots
  • Loose rough skin 
  • Visible capillaries

Worried about free radical damage? Have no fear! Oxidized glutathione is rich in antioxidants which will protect your body from free radicals. 

A 10-week study was created to measure the effects of glutathione. After applying glutathione to their faces, participants found there was a clear decrease in pigmentation. The overall moisture content of their skin also improved, and wrinkles were significantly reduced. 

The body forms glutathione naturally, but production decreases as we age. Toxins also decrease healthy glutathione levels. If you are sick, feeling old, or just not in peak shape, you likely have a glutathione deficiency. Research published in The Lancet, found the highest glutathione levels in healthy young people, lower levels in healthy elderly, lower still in sick elderly, and the lowest of all in the hospitalized elderly.

That’s why it’s so important to supplement your glutathione levels to promote graceful aging. 

Oxidized glutathione fights oxidative stress, which is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. When free radicals accumulate, they cause cell and tissue damage leading to wrinkles, inflammation, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. 

Glutathione can help decrease these age-related effects, by combating those nasty effects of free radicals and inflammation and has been shown to even out skin tone. “Glutathione has long been used in skincare for its skin lightening benefits. 

Because of its powerful antioxidant effects and ability to help lighten dark spots and brighten the skin overall, topical glutathione is a key ingredient in the CHARLÍS Restorative Anti-Aging Overnight Serum. This amazing product nourishes your skin while you sleep, allowing your cells to heal so that you can wake up with healthier, brighter skin.

Here are some of the other key ingredients in the CHARLÍS Restorative Anti-Aging Overnight Serum:

It’s a great moisturizer and also helps wound healing and skin regeneration in general.

PYRUS MALUS FRUIT EXTRACT: Pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract is a species of apple; the pectin derived from it is used as a thickener in cosmetics and the fruit is a tremendous source of polyphenolic antioxidants, which lets it ably scavenge multiple types of free radicals before they damage skin.

ORGANIC CITRUS PARADISI PEEL OIL: Extracted from the peel of the grapefruit, this oil contains naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that help promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cell renewal. It also contains astringent and tightening properties, and due to potent antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, it’s the perfect ingredient to treat and protect acne-prone skin.
