Activated Charcoal is charcoal that has been treated (activated) by exposing it to very high heat. This exposure to heat creates a much larger surface area and forces the charcoal to open up and form pores, giving it superior absorption abilities (think of it like a sponge). When the dirt and oil inside the pores come into contact with the activated charcoal, they bind to it and then are washed away when the skin is rinsed. The use of charcoal for skincare is not new. There is evidence showing the ancient Egyptians treated their skin with charcoal thousands of years ago.

Aloe Vera’s benefits for the skin are well known; from moisturizing the skin to soothing inflammation. It is especially helpful when used in soaps since many soaps can be drying. Aloe Vera helps to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture, but it also moisturizes the skin in another way. The sugars Aloe Vera contains, also known as mucopolysaccharides, help to retain moisture in the skin. The Mucopolysaccharides in the plant when applied topically, have been shown to increase the water content of the outermost layer of skin (the stratum corneum), making it an ideal ingredient for dry skin types.

The FDA actually recognizes Colloidal Oatmeal as a "skin protectant”. It is considered an emollient, a substance that softens or soothes the skin, because it packs fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients shown to benefit the skin. It also boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that benefit the skin. Antioxidants fight free radicals, which can damage the skin through oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is connected to aging, which presents as a lack of skin elasticity and moisture. The biggest benefit of colloidal oatmeal is that it helps the skin retain moisture. When applied, colloidal oatmeal reinforces the protective skin barrier.

CoQ10 has at least two important roles in the body. First, it is one of the essential cogs in the biochemical machinery that produces biological energy (ATP) inside the cells. Second, CoQ10 is an antioxidant. It helps neutralize harmful free radicals, which are one of the causes of aging. Under perfect conditions, the body can produce as much CoQ10 as it needs. However, various factors, such as aging, stress and some medications, can lower the levels of CoQ10 in the body. As a result, the ability of cells to withstand stress and regenerate declines. Unfortunately, the levels of CoQ10 in the body almost inevitably decline with age. In fact, CoQ10 is regarded as one of the most accurate biomarkers of aging since its decline correlates so well with the aging process. In most people over thirty, levels of CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum, resulting in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin, and other important skin molecules. Thus, CoQ10 may boost skin repair and regeneration and reduce free radical damage. CoQ10 is a small molecule that can relatively easily penetrate into skin cells.
