FDA CFSAN on the use of Parabens in skincare

I have had 2 questions recently about the use of parabens in the Retinol Serum.

While the cheaper skincare products use Formaldehyde, the more expensive ones use Parabens as a preservative and to prevent bacterial growth.

Most users continually touch their products with their fingers and bacteria transfer from face to product happens frequently.

CFSAN the office within the FDA that regulates cosmetics and fragrances, confirms that parabens are safe especially if multpile parabens are used within a product and the total volume does not exceed 25% and each individual paraben's volume is not more than 0.3%.

So please remember, never dip your fingers into your products. Use a spatula and never return unused product back to your jars.

Oily as your skin is dehydrated

If you have oily skin today, it means your skin is dehydrated. Simply put, without a balance of oil and moisture, your skin would crack and it would be painful to frown, smile and laugh.

The problem with oily skin is just that with not enough mositure, your oil glands will compensate by producing more oil, to protect your skin.

So for those with oily skin, the first step is to make sure you balance your skin with a toner that contains oolong tea, pumpkin seed, chamomile and witch hazel which helps purify, soothe and refine pores while controlling shine.

Second step is to use a day moisturiser which has grapeseed polyphenols, licorice, and seaweed extract that replenishes moisture, while creating a barrier against drying. and a night moisturiser which combines soy, slmond oil, pistachio oil and rosemary extract to replenish lost moisture, and repair the natural lipid barrier.

So remember, if you have oily skin, it only means your skin is dehydrated, and you need to hydate it - not remove the oil. As the oil will continue to flow, as long as your skin is not properly hydrated. Makes sense doesn't it?

Green Tea Oil - a miracle oil?



















Launched last night, our First in the world Green Tea Oil is finally available for all Malaysians aged above 6 months.



Green Tea Oil is a botanical oil-soluble Catechin. which is extracted from green tea base powder through a globally-patented manufacturing process, combining coconut oil, jojoba oil, squalene from Oilve oil and natural Vitamin E.



Patented (PCT/JP01/05020) and made exclusively by Unicity Japan, this miracle oil is a beauty and anti-aging moisturising oil that shows quite immediate results for many types of skin problems.





The birth of Oil-soluble Cathechin - CoCoGreen





Cathechin is a type of tannin found in tea leaves, known for it's anti-oxidant, anti-bacteria, fat-burning and odour-elimainating properties. CoCoGreen is the first in the world, that has blended Cathechin into an oil-soluble form, without usig surfactants or emulsifying agents.



The patented process of blending green tea with medium chain triglycerides (MCT) is what sets Green Tea Oil apart from the rest of the other oils.



Studies have proven that MCT from coconut oil, fight many viruses including herpes, bacteria & fungi. MCT is an immediate source of energy and enables the body to metabolize fat efficiently. MCT has a high affinity for hair proteins because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain, and is able to nourish the hair. (Now you know why the Indians use coconut oil on their hair)



Oil soluble catechin in a size of only 3.5 nanometers, has the ability to quickly and easily penetrate deep down the skin layers to restore moisturise and elasticity, as well as burn fat and remove cellulite.



Water soluble catechins evaporate immediatly upon application, making it ineffective.





What makes Green Tea so special?





Green Tea is organically grown in an island south of Tokyo. The secret of green tea lies in its rich catechin polyphenols particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) . EGCG is know for it's anti-bacteria, fat-burning and olour-elimating properties.



25% of green tea leaves weight is EGCG, epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC).



Studies claim that Catechin of green tea can prevent cancer and can increase endurance in exercise by improving fat metabolism. Is it any wonder, that many people drink green tea as a beverage today?



Black and oolong tea undergoes fermentation which looses some of its anti-oxidant properties. including this EGCG.
