Ingredients:

Flowers of sulphur


Flowers of sulphur is an antiseptic and anti-fungal. It is suitable for use on humans, animals, vegetables, fruits, flowers and as a gardening additive in the soil. It is safe to ingest in the correct quantities provided it comes from a reputable source.

Some skin uses include, dry, scaly, itchy, red skin. Relieves itching, reduces scratching.

It may also help with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, scabies.

Fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch.


Sulfur helps dry out the surface of your skin to help absorb excess oil (sebum) that may contribute to acne breakouts. It also dries out dead skin cells to help unclog your pores.



ZINC

Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties. This may help relieve some of the redness and irritation associated with moderate-to-severe acne. It may even help reduce the appearance of acne scars.


Zinc can help decrease acne and promote wound healing

Some of the zinc stored in your body is actually held within your skin, and it plays a key role in the development, differentiation and growth of various human tissues. According to a 2019 report, “Disturbances in zinc metabolism may give rise to disorders that typically manifest themselves on the skin.”

Because it supports production of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body that forms connective tissue, this mineral is sometimes used to help people recovering from burns, ulcers, slow healing wounds, and other types of skin damage or injuries. Zinc benefits can also help support the immune system in a way that may limit skin’s susceptibility to infections while healing.

Additionally, this mineral is used to help naturally decrease acne breakouts due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s considered by some experts to be “a promising alternative to other acne treatments owing to its low cost, efficacy, and lack of systemic side effects.”


Artichoke

Detoxes the Liver and Digestive System

They contain a powerful antioxidant flavonoid called silymarin, which is an effective liver protectant. Artichokes may even be able to help liver cells regenerate. A 2018 study found that artichoke extract supplementation increases antioxidant status in the liver, including levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione and glutathione peroxidase.

Another substance in artichoke nutrition called cynarin has also been shown to positively stimulate the production of bile, which is produced by the liver and ultimately responsible for enabling digestion and helping with the absorption of nutrients. Without proper bile production, a good diet cannot be used to foster health because many of the essential nutrients and fatty acids are not properly absorbed.


Artichokes’ positive effects on the digestive tract and liver mean that your immune system is well-equipped to quickly heal your skin once damaged, burned, or when it comes into contact with common toxins and pollutants.



Olive leaf extract: 

An important olive leaf benefit is its ability to fight off infections, including candida infections, meningitis, pneumonia, chronic fatigue, hepatitis B, malaria, gonorrhoea, shingles and tuberculosis. It also naturally treats ear, dental and urinary tract infections.


Olive leaf has the power to reverse years of damage to your skin and the signs of ageing. Because of olive leaf’s antioxidant properties, it helps to prevent certain types of cell damage, especially those caused by oxidation. Foods and herbs that contain antioxidants are great tools for the health of your skin and cells.



Vit A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that also acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It plays a critical role in maintaining vision, neurological function, healthy skin and more. Like all antioxidants, it’s also involved in reducing inflammation through fighting free radical damage.


Often prescribed by dermatologists to fight acne and wrinkles alike, vitamin A is revered for its potent skin-enhancing properties. One study out of the University of Michigan Medical School’s Department of Dermatology even found that applying retinol topically to the skin significantly improved fine lines and wrinkles, plus increased the skin’s ability to withstand injury.


Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, such as retinaldehyde, vitamin A may also be useful in the treatment of a wide range of skin concerns. In fact, studies show that retinoids may be therapeutic for common skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema and acne.


A study published in Dermatologic Surgery conducted at Drexel University College of Medicine’s Department of Dermatology in Philadelphia, for instance, found that pretreatment with retinoids improved wound healing after undergoing facial resurfacing procedures.


Vitamin E 

Vitamin E benefits skin by strengthening the capillary walls and improving moisture and elasticity, acting as a natural anti-aging nutrient within your body. Studies have shown that vitamin E reduces inflammation both within your body and on your skin, helping maintain healthy, youthful skin. 


Vitamin E can play a crucial role in balancing your endocrine and nervous systems, naturally working to balance hormones naturally.  Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance may include PMS, weight gain, allergies, urinary tract infections, changes in the skin, anxiety and fatigue. 


Clove

Research demonstrates clove oil’s ability to effectively kill off both the planktonic cells and biofilms of a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus or S. aureus. What does this have to do with skin health and, more specifically, acne? S. aureus is one of several strains of bacteria that have been scientifically linked with the pathogenesis of acne.



Holy basil

Fights Skin Infections and Acne

Holy basil has been found to have antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and analgesic (painkilling) properties. It can help kill bacteria that can cause breakouts and skin infections, so it’s a great natural remedy for wounds, plus a home remedy for acne and other skin irritations. It’s believed to benefit the skin and treat skin infections both internally and externally.

The primary active compound of holy basil oil is eugenol, also the active ingredient in the powerful antimicrobial clove oil, which is widely believed to help combat many skin disorders. Holy basil also contains other therapeutic components, including gamma-caryophyllene and methyl eugenol.


There’s evidence that tulsi can address physical, chemical, metabolic and psychological stress through a unique combination of pharmacological actions. One of the most well-researched holy basil benefits is its ability to keep hormone levels balanced naturally and to lower symptoms of anxiety.


Vitamin C

Promotes Glowing Skin

Vitamin C, is a common ingredient found in a wide assortment of skin care products and cosmetics alike. Thanks to its antioxidant content, vitamin C benefits skin health through several different mechanisms.

Because it’s involved in the synthesis of collagen, vitamin C is believed to help slow down skin ageing and can also protect against skin damage and free radical formation caused by ultraviolet exposure.

Plus, there may also be some vitamin C benefits for skin lightening and hyperpigmentation; studies have shown that vitamin C may help suppress melanin production to prevent dark spots and patches. 


B3 

B3 that is often included in cosmetic products because of its many potential skin-boosting benefits, including its ability to improve hyperpigmentation, visible signs of ageing and acne.


A 2017 scientific review highlights multiple studies that found that both topical niacinamide as well as internal supplements of this nutrient significantly decrease acne without any major adverse side effects.


Improving rosacea is another one of the many possible niacinamide benefits. One scientific review highlights how nicotinamide has been used in dermatology for over 40 years for a diverse range of skin conditions, including rosacea and acne.

Rosacea, an inflammatory skin disease, has been successfully improved by both topical and internal use of niacinamide.


Vitex or Chasteberry

Hormone imbalances and fluctuations can be a the root of acne, especially if you’re a woman. If you experience monthly outbreaks of acne, especially along your jawline and chin, Chasteberry might be a perfect acne natural remedy. It can balance your hormones, which can reduce acne formation in both men and women, especially those suffering with cystic acne.
