Ripe, fresh, tomatoes (lycopersicon esculentum) are
packed with an abundant source of vitamins A, B (including folic acid),
and C; potassium and magnesium; valuable antioxidants and trace elements
including lycopene which attacks cancer-causing free radicals. Fruit acid
in the tomato balances pH levels, tighten pores and gives this soap a
gentle peeling action which is effective in aiding a wrinkled, matured
complexion. Tomato is also active in neutralizing acidic skin and it is
particularly a good remedy for acne or troubled skin. Beetroot Powder
(beta vulgaris) is a rich source of beta-carotene which encourages regeneration
of skin cells resulting in a glowing complexion. Chlorophyll (Chlorophyll)
A dark green colored oil made from Alfalfa grass, is the most densely
concentrated chlorophyll containing land plant on earth. Chlorophyll being
rich in many vitamins and minerals works to nourish tired, exposed skin.
Chlorophyll's strongest attribute is its ability to accelerate the formation
of granulation tissue that forms the base for new tissue growth. Lime
essential oil (Citrus aurantifolia) generally has an intense, sparkling-sweet,
lemony aroma This essential oil is astringent, antibacterial, and antiseptic;
Lime essential oil balances overactive sebaceous glands that lead to oily
or blemished skin, and helps clear acne. It revitalizes under-active and
mature skin and helps with cellulite by improving circulation and encouraging
the elimination of wastes. Lime oil encourages the exfoliation of dead
skin and enlivens the complexion. Long-term treatment with lime oil reduces
broken capillaries and varicose veins, softens scar tissue and minimizes
warts and corns. Lime oil can also strengthen brittle nails and hair.
