What are SUPERFOODS?
Today, it’s common knowledge that what we eat has a direct effect on our overall health and well-being. But with so many harmful chemicals all around us — in the air we breathe, the food we consume and the products we put on our bodies — it’s essential to do whatever we can to lessen those potential dangers.
Superfoods are the most concentrated sources of real whole unprocessed plant- and mineral-based foods found in nature. They provide a plethora of health benefits because of their high content of enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, inflammation fighting fats, heart-healthy and easily-digestible fibers.
Naturally-grown and easily-absorbable in the body, Superfoods are super rich in phytochemicals and cell-protecting antioxidants that help combat the damaging effects of free radicals.

Some of the Superfood Ingredients that will be used:
Cacao Beans and (Cocoa) Butter (The Magical Healer)
Chocolate is the food of the gods, and we have cacao beans to thank for its deliciousness.
The high levels of polyphenol antioxidants in cacao belong to the same group of antioxidants found in green tea and red wine and protect our cells from premature aging. Amazingly, raw organic cacao has over 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries.
It’s a wonderful natural skin care ingredient due to it’s healing and regenerating properties, and its ability to improve skin health, repair cells and prevent signs of aging. Cacao butter is high in fatty acids and antioxidants which help fight off free radicals that cause skin aging, dark patches, and dull skin. Enriched with minerals and vitamins like Vitamin C, magnesium and omega 6 fatty acids, cacao promotes blood flow and increases cellular healing to develop a youthful glow.
Goji Berry (Anti-Aging Super Star)
Goji Berry Oil is known as the fountain of youth. An anti-aging superstar, it is naturally high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids and trace minerals. These berries contain over 19 amino acids (like tryptophan that builds serotonin and phenylalanine that keeps your adrenals happy). Goji Berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6 and vitamins E. Goji berries are filled with trace minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iron and copper since Goji Berry Oil contains powerful antioxidants, it helps guard the skin from free radical damage and resist signs of aging.
Spirulina (The Magic Algae)
Spirulina microalgae is the oldest life form on earth, containing 60% Protein, all essential amino acids, a spectrum of natural chlorophylls including Phycocianin and Beta-Carotene, iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamins and minerals that do wonders to the body’s well-being. Naturally found in volcanic soda lakes and rivers, Spirulina has been cultivated for thousands of years by the Aztecs, who used it to cleanse the body and maintain a strong immune system in the harsh desert environment. It is no wonder then that our best-selling moisturizer is the spirulina hydrator, which effectively treats and optimizes any skin condition.
Matcha Green Tea (The Gentle Giant)
Green tea has long been touted as a potent yet gentle antioxidant that’s suitable for all skin types (making it a great alternative to potentially sensitive-skin-irritating Vitamin C). Green tea is also thought to have effective anti-inflammatory properties making it a strong new favorite in natural skin care. We are crazy about it!
