The human skin is the largest organ of the body and therefore deserves maximum care. It covers the bones, muscles, nerves, blood, adipose tissue and everyother substance which are underlying and can not be physically seen on your body. The outermost layer of the skin is called the epidermis while the inner layer next to it is the dermis. The skin helps to keep the vital functions of the physiological and biochemical conditions of the body in its favorable condition.
Functions of the skin include:
- Regulation of body temperature
- Excretion of toxic substances in the form of sweat
- Prevention of loss of essential body fluids
- Mechanical support
- Vitamin D synthesis under the effect of sunlight from its precursors
- Sensory organ for touch
Anything that irritates, clogs, or inflames your skin can cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, discoloration, burning, and itching. Depending on how chronic these skin problems appear on your skin, they could alter your mind set and leave a permanent scar in your life.
The following are problems most people face as a result of having chronic skin blemishes:
- Withrawal, anger , lack of confidence and frustration
- Suicidal thoughts
- Major depression
- Changes in normal daiky activities
- Higher rates of unemployment for those with faces covered with excessive acne
- Children with skin blemishes are subject to bullying
While there are many chemically manufactured ointments and oral medications to clear these chronic skin blemishes, it is of utmost importance to know that chemicals have way more devastating effects on the overall health than the healing effects. Most of these ointments are packed with carcinogens which are not favorable in the long run.
The Poly-Herb Whipped Shea Butter has been painstakingly made to clear all kinds of chronic skin blemishes because the natural botanicals which have been selected all have high potency to eradicate several types of major inflammation of the skin. The shea butter with its exceptional large healing fraction has been whipped with herbs, with each herb delivering its optimum efficacy to make the Poly-Herb Whipped Shea Butter exceptional.
Poly-Herb Whipped Shea Butter is made up of the following ingredients: Vitellaria paradoxa (Shea Butter), Cocos nucifera (Coconut Oil), Piper guineense (Ashanti peppers), Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), Allium ascalonicum (Shallots), Natural Sulfur, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender Essential Oil).
Vitellaria paradoxa (Shea Butter): The positive biochemical and physiological effect of shea butter on the skin injuries makes this cream ideal for wound healing. As mentioned in my other posts, one unique factor about the shea butter is that the moisturizers produced by it is the same as the ones produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Since shea butter mimics the effects of these naturally produced moisturizers that the skin itself produces.
Cocos nucifera (Unrefined Coconut Oil): Natural coconut oil can speed up wound healing when applied topically on the skin. It also helps to be effective in increasing hydration and reducing water loss in seriously dry skin. It’s naturally antibacterial and antifungal.
Piper guineense (Ashanti peppers): This wonderful herb from Africa grows to a height of about 2 feet with red berries and when dried becomes a nice dark brown color with a bitter and pungent flavor that’s very distinctive. The fruits (the part of the plant traditionally used) are rich in a wide range of natural products including volatiles oils, lignans, amides, alkaloids, flavonoids and polyphenols, which are major components in these plants. Ashanti Pepper contains beta-caryophyllene which is a very good anti-inflammatory agent thus helping with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions of the skin (skin diseases).
Allium ascalonicum (Shallots): This type of onion has a wide range of beneficial actions on the body especially on the skin. The shallots juice is a very useful first aid treatment for bee and wasp stings, bites, grazes or fungal skin complaints. It also aids the formation of scar tissue on wounds, thus speeding up the healing process, and has been used as a cosmetic to remove freckles.
Natural Sulfur: Sulfur is a naturally occurring mineral found in hot springs, clay, and volcanic ash—and also as a trace mineral in the human body. It kills bacteria and draws out oil which makes it ideal for acne-prone skin by reducing the buildup in pores.
Natural sulfur has the ability to clear acne, seborrheic dermatitis, rosacea, eczema and dandruff. This is the reason why it is present in most topical ointments for getting rid of sturbborn skin blemishes such as warts, pityriasis versicolor or skin discoloration, hair-follicle infections and shingles. When applied topically, it also provides relief for skin condition such as acne, eczema or psoriasis.
Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary): It has several benefits ranging from moisturizing your skin, supporting healthy collagen development and fighting off skin-damaging free radicals.
Topically, rosemary is a wonderful addition to your skincare routine. Rosemary oil has properties to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses on the skin, which makes it ideal for minor wounds and burns, or on skin affected by dermatitis, acne, eczema or psoriasis.
Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender Essential Oil): Widely known for its antimicrobial properties, for centuries lavender oil has been used to prevent various infections and combat bacterial and fungal disorders. In fact, almost 100 studies have been conducted establishing this benefit of lavender over and over again. Research shows that lavender oil speeds the healing of burns, cuts, scrapes and wounds — and a big part of this is because of its antimicrobial compounds. It is best mixed with carrier oils such as coconut oil. It used to cleanse cuts, bruises and skin irritations. It can be used topically on eczema and dermatitis, also used to reduce inflammation and pain intensity.
With all these natural botanicals put together to make the Poly-Herb Whipped Shea butter, one can be sure of the effectiveness. It brings relief to major skin problems such as wounds and scars occuring from Bulluos Pemphigoid & Shingles, Skin Dermatitis, Sun damaged skin, Scars, blemishes, Cracked and dry heels or elbows, Small wounds and scrapes, Athlete’s Foot and other fungal infections.
