Pumpkin Enzyme Peel (Pumpkin Bioferment)

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

 

About Pumpkin Enzyme Peel (Pumpkin Bioferment)

Our Pumpkin Bioferment is a natural, gentle enzyme “peel” that you can use straight from the bottle or add to any lotion or cream. Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) proteases hydrolyze the proteins, exfoliating dead skin cells and impurities while delivering vitamins and nutrients to the skin. The Pumpkin Enzyme Peel leaves the skin cleansed and silky smooth. Pumpkin proteases and nutrients are released from fresh pumpkin cells by the action of the same organism that transforms milk into yoghurt.

Exfoliating with Pumpkin Enzyme Peel (Pumpkin Bioferment)

 

Pumpkin Bioferment Enzyme PeelExfoliating

Exfoliation will help keep your pores open and free of blackheads and acne. It will also show, faster, your new skin, made younger thanks to BulkActives’ skin actives.

There are three ways of exfoliating your skin: sandpaper or similar (crystals used in microexfoliation), chemical peels and enzymatic peels.

Chemical peels are acid solutions that will break down the proteins in the most external layers of the skin IF used with caution (used without caution they will burn the skin).

Enzyme peels

Enzymes loosen upper epidermis layers, cleanse the pores and improve complexion texture, elasticity and tone.

Enzyme exfoliation helps to maintain proper pH balance because it doesn’t involve acids. It is suitable for everyone and has no side effects. Enzyme peels are advised for treating dryness and overcoming allergy manifestations.

Pumpkin exfoliation

Pumpkin proteases (proteolytic enzymes) are known to hydrolyze the proteins, simultaneously peeling dead epithelium cells and blemishes and supplying skin with vitamins and nutrients. Pumpkin exfoliation makes skin look clean and silky smooth.

Merits of pumpkin enzymes

Pumpkin enzymes possess some positive effects. They:

Enzymatically excite cell turnover

  • Unblock pores and dissolve oils
  • Improve skin texture and tone due to exfoliation properties
  • Moisturize the skin and keep it hydrated
  • Treat hyperpigmentation.

sea kelp bioferment (Sea Kelp Ferment)

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Due to popular demand, BulkActives is now offering Sea Kelp BioFerment (also known as sea kelp ferment or seakelp bioferment) in different sizes for less than you’ll find it anywhere else.

What is Sea Kelp Bioferment?

sea kelpSea Kelp Bioferment is a natural kelp extract that has been derived by fermentation of Sea Kelp using Lactobacillus, the same bacteria that produces yogurt, sour cream and sour dough breads, among many other foods. Sea Kelp Bioferment is a natural kelp extract that is obtained using traditional fermentation technology.

The fermentation process increases the bioavailability of many chemical compounds by freeing them from the food matrix to which they are typically bound. In addition, the principle of fermentation allows for the isolation and concentration of naturally occurring phytochemicals

Fermentation breaks down the cellular tissue of the kelp leaf, thereby increasing the bioavailability of the naturally occurring chemical compounds abundant in kelp. Fermentation and subsequent reduction of the kelp liquor results in the concentration of these vital nutrients. Naturally occurring algin, the mucilaginous intercellular material found in kelp thickens this product to a gel consistency.

How do I use Sea Kelp bioferment?

Sea Kelp Bioferment, a natural film former, acts as an excellent oil-free moisturizer. It can be used full strength on the face and body and used as a gentle styling gel in the hair, adding bounce and shine. It can be used as a base for the addition of many of the cosmetic actives we carry or added to formulations of creams, lotions, toners, shampoos and other personal care products.

Sea Kelp Bioferment can be used as a great nutritive active. Used alone, it’s perfect for people with oily skin as it moisturizes without supplying extra oil. It’s firming, healing, soothing for any skin type. It is also incredibly effective for normal and dry skin, as it is a powerful nutritive moisturizer. It can be added to almost any product – from creams to serums to washes and lotions, it is the perfect active for almost any purpose. Sea Kelp ferment can also be used 100% pure as a serum base, hair conditioner, or shaving gel.

Directions For Use:

Sea Kelp Bioferment can be added to the water phase of cosmetic formulations and heated to 80°C (167°F) without problems. It is heat stable. Sea Kelp ferment can also be used 100% pure as a serum base, conditioner, or shaving gel.
