Grapeseed oil. ( Vitis vinifera ) is an ecologically sound product that is made from the seeds of grapes after the wine is pressed. Grapeseed oil is high in vitamin E and is 76% essential fatty acid, linoleic acid (also known as Omega 6). It is low in saturated fat, contains natural chlorophyll and valuable antioxidants (known as proanthocyninidins). Very rich in vitamins, minerals and linoleic acid. It's a light and penetrating oil. The skin absorbs it easily. Since it is slightly astringent, it tightens and tones the skin. Will not aggravate acne.
Hemp Seed Oil. Hemp seeds produce a vegetable oil that is high in protein and can be used within a variety cosmetics. The hemp seed oil I use is "natural grade" produced from organically grown plant material and is obtained by cold expeller-pressed method. Hemp seed oil is high in Alpha linolenic, linoleic and oleic acids--the essential fatty acids known as the omegas--making up 88% of the total fatty-acid content. It is particularly moisturizing for dry, damaged skin and for eczema and psoriasis. Hemp seed oil penetrates the skin quickly and some describe it as a dry oil. Remember... Stroke it... don't smoke it!
Neem Oil. Neem is also known as Nimba, Margosa or Indian Tulip Tree Oil, which is a traditional treatment for severely damaged skin. The concentrated essential fatty acids help to restore moisture and elasticity to the skin while it disinfects and heals.
Neem relieves dry skin. It soothes itchines, redness and irritation. It improves general skin health and immunity, combating bacterial infections, as in acne, boils and ulcers.
Jojoba Oil: Jojoba (liquid) (Simmondsia chinensis): Jojoba is very similar in composition to human natural skin oils. It penetrates the skin rapidly to nourish it and also softens and moisturizes mature and dry skin. Jojoba helps to heal inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis or any form of dermatitis, helps control acne and oily scalps. Since it has antioxidant properties, it can keep other oils from going rancid. I use 100% pure jojoba, the extract of seeds produced by the jojoba plant which is expeller pressed, once. No solvents are used during this process..
It is gentle enough for newborn babies; soothes and restores elasticity to any dry skin area. It is very good in cases of psoriasis, scalp/hair care and for hands/cuticles.

The compounds found in these mushrooms have been classified as Host Defense Potentiators (HDP). These enhance the abilities of the immune system to protect itself. These disease-inhibiting compounds include hemicellulose, polysaccharides, polysaccharide-peptides, nucleosides, triterpenoids, complex starches, and other metabolites.
The Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes) is a rich source of various vitamins and minerals (including germanium), amino acids, enzymes, fiber, and nucleic acid derivatives. It contains the solid plant alcohol ergosterol, which can be converted by sunlight into vitamin D. Much of the research into shiitake has focused on its polysaccharides, especially lentinan, a 1,6;1,3 beta-glucan.
Pumpkin Seed Extract is a hydrolyzed protein fraction obtained from the Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) seedcake. This active ingredient functions by stimulating the synthesis of collagen and fibrillin and by inhibiting the activity of enzymes which contribute to its degradation.

It may prove useful in preventing and attenuating the appearance of stretch marks, making it a useful addition to body care products.
