Ever wonder “Why” Amber Bottles Are Used For Beer, Oils, Skin Care and More?

Many different products are stored in bottles of different shapes, sizes and colors. Have you ever asked yourself if you are buying a product that had its ingredients protected by its container? Now here’s a question you should ask yourself. Why do you think medicine syrups, beer, some skin care and essential oils are stored in dark colored bottles? Certainly it must be for a specific purpose and not just out from the fancy of some creative designer for the manufacturing company.

Amber bottles are preferred by the pharmaceutical companies and by producers of essential oils and pure plant ingredients for good reason. The first one is that it protects the product contained inside from photo damage. As we all know, the sun’s light contains UV rays that are not only harmful to our skin but can change the components of different products as well. Now we do not want to buy a product spoiled by light do we? You might say that there are other colored bottles that we could use but why do wine companies and essential oil producers prefer amber bottles?

  • It gives better UV protection. Amber bottles can filter out blue and ultraviolet light. The problem with blue bottle is that they allow the blue light in and this is not good for essential oils, skin care products or for wine and beer. When you protect the ingredients from the harmful rays, the products, you are extending the shelf life of the ingredients.
  • Why Glass?  Glass is easier to recycle then plastic and more importantly, no harmful chemicals from the plastic can leach into your products.  It is said that 60% of what we apply to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream.  While glass may not be preferred by some, it is an eco-friendly choice that also protects you from chemicals that can be found in some plastic materials.
  • Amber bottles are less expensive.  Amber bottles offer a more competitive price over blue and clear bottles  of which offer little protection from the light that may penetrate it.  In the case of Sevani products, we want our cost to go into the skin care products and not the exterior packaging, so we can offer you the best products possible.

A good product is as good as its packaging. Amber bottles can protect your natural skin care products from light damage offering you a better protected higher quality product.  And the fact they are easier to recycle then plastic and do not contain harmful chemicals doesn’t hurt either!

Use The Principals of Homeopathy For Effective Yet Gentle Skin Care

Homeopathic medicine was discovered by a German physician by the name of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. He discovered that quinine bark, a conventional medicine of malaria, can cause the same level of malaria fevers when taken in by a healthy person.

As he continued his research he determined that some plants that could cause certain symptoms to a healthy person could cure an ailing person.  This led Dr Hahnemann to create treatments based on the principle that illness occurs when imbalance exists, which is now the main tenet of homeopathy.

Homeopathy can be used to treat any condition physical and mental, which, of course, includes imbalances that present as skin problems.  I have tapped into some of these natural remedies for my chemical free skin care line because of my own personal experience with the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine as well as the fact that Homeopathy heals without hurting and, best of all, treats the root causes of the imbalance/illness so we can eliminate the problem once and for all!.

Sevani skin care products are made by using minute percentages of a natural plant or mineral ingredient, just as in homeopathy.  By doing so, an effective, yet gentle remedy is created to treat and balance skin conditions as opposed to using harsh chemicals and toxins only to block the symptoms of the still underlying problem.

Products that contain plant extracts and minerals chosen for their homeopathic qualities, like those in the Sevani skin care line, can be beneficial to all skin types in many different ways:

  • These products are gentle on your skin- synthetic ingredients are not comparable molecules to human skin cells, and, as a result, offer little to no benefit real benefit. Products made with all natural ingredients on the other hand support the natural texture of your skin, which makes it ideal for skin regeneration, all the while being so gentle they’re safe to use on your most delicate skin.
  • They help in skin renewal- Plant extracts and minerals can stimulate cell production. This will prevent premature aging and help prevent the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • They’ll effectively moisturize your skin- Regardless of your skin type, your skin will be able to retain moisture and this too helps in the prevention of fine lines on the skin and is important for overall skin health.
  • They’ll tone and firm your skin too -Your skin will look firmer and will have self-healing abilities that have been masked by all the chemicals and toxins often used in make up and skin care products.
  • And, you’ll have a healthy complexion- Using chemical free skin care products that contain antioxidants, like those used in Sevani, help give your skin an even tone and a natural, healthy glow.

If you have problematic skin that is dry, oily, sensitive, or have blemishes, then the use of homeopathic skin care products is the gentlest way to take care of your skin condition.

Evening Primrose Oil to The Rescue!

When it comes to caring for our skin, we should always look for quality ingredients in our products.   No matter how bad the economy is,  women and men are still willing to use products to combat signs of aging. With laser technology and injections, while they may yield results, the problem with these procedures is that they can be subject to human error and offer only temporary benefits.  In addition, they are very expensive.   One of the best ways to prevent skin aging is by using the right kinds of products. There are millions of products that promise to achieve results but the use of “true” natural skin care products that contain essential fatty acids  can provide anti aging benefits and radiant skin.  Previously we discussed sea buckthorn oil and others containing these omega fatty acids but today we will discuss another of our specialists favorites:  evening primrose oil.

Evening primrose oil has many benefits. It contains several fatty acids and these are palmitic fatty acids, oleic fatty acids, linoleic fatty acids, gamma linoleic fatty acids, alpha linoleic fatty acids, icosanoic fatty acids and acosenoic fatty acids. These components contribute to a variety of skin benefits such as:

  • Improves skin texture, offering smooth more supple skin.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable.
  • Rough skin becomes hydrated.
  • Prevents skin inflammation which can cause discoloration and acne.
  • Your skin is rejuvenated.
  • Promotes elasticity offering a more firm appearance.
  • Assists in the production of new skin cells.
  • Skin is repaired at a cellular level.
  • Lightens dark circles under the eyes.

One of our favorite benefits of evening primrose oil is inflammation reduction.  Most people don’t realize that inflammation accelerates aging, and often causes age spots, scarring and discoloration.  Sevani skin formulations utilize evening primrose throughout their skin care line to offer the best results possible.

Preventing aging and improving your skin need not cost you thousands of dollars or risky procedures.  With the proper blend of other antioxidants and alpha hydroxy acids, evening primrose oils benefits are increased. Who doesn’t want a product that targets wrinkles, skin discoloration, dry rough skin, and sagging?

Of course, natural and organic products free of harmful toxins are always recommended.  Feel free to learn more about organic anti-aging products created by true skin specialists by clicking here.

The Role of CoQ10 in Skin Repair

CoQ10, otherwise known as Coenzyme Q or Ubiquinone is a nutrient produced naturally by the human body. It is found in every cell and tissue and it was identified by the researchers of University of Wisconsin in 1957. It helps the body achieve different biological functions that is why we have the ability to produce energy, neutralize free radicals and why cells in our body are kept healthy.

Men and women below the age of thirty have the ability to produce enough CoQ10 that the body needs. There are some external factors, however, that may deplete CoQ10 in the body. This includes aging and stress. That is why there is a need to get our supply from other sources – food, supplements and skin care products. Aside from the internal benefits we get from CoQ10, it also plays an important role with the way we look.

  • Using products with CoQ10 can make our skin look younger -As we age, the amount of CoQ10 produced by the body decreases. The lack of CoQ10 may result to the underproduction of collagen and elastin, both of which are important for the skin to look firm and be flexible. Without collagen and elastin, the skin will wrinkle and sag eventually.
  • CoQ10 acts as an anti-oxidant – We all well know that free radicals cause damage to our skin and it one of the major causes of aging. If you have more CoQ10 to fight these free radicals, you slow down the process of aging.
  • Helps prevent photo aging- The sun’s rays can cause the skin to have unwanted dark spots, dark circles and wrinkles. Studies show that CoQ10 revitalizes skin cells, making them less vulnerable to UV damage.

We may not prevent aging, but we can slow down the process by using topical products with CoQ10. As we get older, we need more CoQ10 and we can maximize its benefits by supplementing it with other valuable antioxidants such as our C+Resveratrol Anti Aging Elixir!
