For optimal shelf life, all products should be stored in a dry area that ranges from 45 degrees to 72 degrees. The
following are conservative shelf life ranges when stored in above conditions. Fragrance and color are affected
in with high heat and bright light environments. If you have further questions, please call us.

Shelf Life refers to a product being resistant to the growth of bacteria or other active organisms. It does not refer
to the change of color, scent, texture, or all of the other natural variations that occur over time in natural plant
oils and ingredients. These shelf life estimates are not specific to actual customer formulations as each
formulation will vary and be unique to its own formula. Please see our contract for more information.
Samples
When you are ordering a product for the first time, make sure that you have requested a sample first. We offer
all our stock products in 1oz-2oz samples for just $3.95 each. Your initial three samples are complimentary (you
will be charged for freight). You can order samples right on line through Buy Direct or you can call customer
service at 503-366-3413.
We do not accept returns on any stock products where the correct product was sent out.
Custom Samples: For more information on custom samples, please go to the next section on Approching
Custom Formulation.
Approaching Custom Formulation:
As customers begin the Custom Formulation process with RainShadow Labs, we will be enlisting the lab to
create customized product samples for you to test. These will represent different versions of what our lab has
understood is being requested for the particular product in question. The lab order form will be entered into the
lab formulation line up, and usually in 7-10 business days your first round of samples will ship out to you. There is
3
an initial lab fee involved in this process to cover lab time. You will be billed $130.00 per hour for the Customized
Sample Process. This initial lab fee covers all lab revisions and adjustments to your samples until you sign off on
the formulations being worked on. Generally, the lab time involved is somewhere between one to three hours.
Please understand that the fee is an initial lab fee and after the first fee is billed to your company, you will not
be charged again, regardless of the amount of time that is spent in the lab to finalize your product.
RainShadow Labs will own the formulations that are created in our labs, and RSL will sign a Non Disclosure\ Non
Compete legal document to ensure to you that we are only making your product for your company. We will
never share formulation or ingredient information with any company other than yours.
In order to begin this process, please choose from one of the following forms, and fill it out and submit it to RSL
and we will follow up with an immediate response. You can email these to info@rainshadowlabs.com; fax them
to 503-366-3400; mail them in with 1-2oz of your sample product (Form A) to 300 Port Ave, St Helens, OR 97051.
FORM A- Custom Formulation with a Prototype located online at www.rainshadowlabs.com. If you
chose to go with this option, we will need a 1-2oz sample of the product along with the ingredient deck
in order to proceed.
FORM B- Custom Formulation without a Prototype located online at www.rainshadowlabs.com
Before the lab process can begin, customers will need to have signed and submitted a lab sample contract to
our offices. For a copy please go online to www.rainshadowlabs.com or email your request to
info@rainshadowlabs.com.
If you have any further questions regarding the Custom Formulation Process, please send an email to
info@rainshadowlabs.com or call 503-366-3413 and ask for Custom Formulation Support.
We look forward to creating with you.
In House packaging and labeling:
RainShadow Labs offers full service in-house filling, labeling, and packaging capabilities. We can fill most
bottles, jars, tottles, powder canisters, candle jars, votives, and tubes. We can provide complete finished
product packaging and filling, including unit cartons; lot stamping for labels; lot stamping for boxes; pre-tied
ribbons; stickers; bagging finished product; case packaging; wrapping in tissue paper; wrapping in bubble
wrap; and any other fine detail for your package. Rainshadow Labs is unable to fill product that has not been
manufactured here at our facility. We are also unable to fill aluminum tubes or lip balm tubes. Minimum run
requirements are 25 gallons for wet products or 200 lbs for dry products.
We will need the following information and components from you before we are able to provide you with a
quote for custom filling:
1 of each container type with the product fill line marked on the bottle (your packaging company
should be willing to send 1 at no cost)
1 of each finishing component (ribbons, unit cartons, etc.)
1 of each label (your label company should be able to produce blank labels that will give a
representation of your finished label size.
Labels and what you need to know:
Call your local label company to design your own or contact Rose City Label at www.rclabel.com. If we are
applying the label for you, make sure to see the label specifications below (rewind #3 with 3 inch core and no
overlap on the bottle or on the roll).
Labels:
Do your homework. Please check out the FDA website http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-lab1.html for upto-date information on labeling requirements.
When communicating with your label company, please make sure to tell them our machines use Rewind #3
(see the picture below). If labels are rewound differently then you will be charged for un-winding and rewinding.

When making your labels, allow extra time to get them to us. Your production time quote does not start
until we receive all items to be used in your order production such as labels, bottles, fragrance, or
special ingredients.
Paper labels should be coated with a UV or similar coating to avoid “scuffing” of the label in transport.
It is preferable for toiletries with paper labels to have a coating to guard against smearing when they
come in contact with moisture. Consult your label professional for additional help.
Make sure your label company tests its adhesive on the type of bottle you are using, whether ours or
other packaging.
We must see and approve the shape and size of your labels prior to quoting pricing and scheduling on
a production run. Odd shapes or sizes may not fit on our assembly machine and may require hand
labeling, which is more expensive.
The label core size required to fit on our machine is a 3” core. Please let your label company know.
Ship the labels to: RainShadow Labs, Attn: Susan.
If you are providing bottles for RainShadow to fill and you are not using one of our stock bottles, we must see
the bottle and cap prior to quote to confirm that the quote will be correct. Unusual shaped packaging may
not fit into our assembly machine and may require hand labeling that would affect the quote. In order for a
time quote to be done, we will need you to mail us 1 of each of your bottles, caps, and labels.
RSL resident Design and Branding Director Brett Bluth is available for a free one hour consultation as a
preliminary to creating a fluid brand, logo, and design layout for your entire product line, website, labels,
cards, brochures, trade show booths, exterior packaging, and all other accompanying materials relevant to

RainShadow Labs is proud to be in partnership with United Way of Columbia County. Since 1993 we have
employed the individuals at Riverside, a nonprofit organization founded in 1974 by the parents of individuals
with developmental disabilities ranging from mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, Downs
Syndrome, etc. We support over 95 individuals and their families with our custom contract packaging and
filling services. We are proud to be supporting and participating in the lives of individuals who would otherwise
be excluded from the many aspects of life that most of us take for granted, such as employment opportunity,
serving others, and simply having a place to show up every day where their skills and abilities are needed and
valued. Riverside provides vocational training and employment, as well as residential care, and supported
living services. Know that by choosing RainShadow Labs as your custom manufacturing facility, you are helping
to provide meaning, opportunity, support, and community for severely disadvantaged and mentally
handicapped adults.
RainShadow Labs will warehouse your unused packaging materials here at our facility in between orders. There
is a monthly pallet fee of $35 per pallet for component storage. If at any point a customer requests their
materials to be inventoried, there is a $45/hour inventory fee. We will not warehouse any packaging materials
that are not relevant to orders that we have in house for your particular company. We are not offering to be a
storage facility for you, but we are offering to greatly diminish your costs by managing your excess packaging
from one order to another in order to eliminate excessive back and forth shipping of unused materials.

botanical or FDA International Standard (INCI) name first, then in ( ) behind the FDA name, they must be
listed by their common name. All our stock ingredient decks are listed here in this catalog. We will
supply you with the ingredient deck for any custom designed RainShadow products.

Frequently asked questions:
Question: What are the minimum purchase quantities in order to purchase customized BULK product?
Answer: Minimum order for custom formulation may be as little as five (5) gallons wet/50 pounds dry per
formula, or it can range up to 110 gallons per formula. It will depend on what you are asking for. If we modify
one of our existing formulas to meet your needs, then we can make it at the minimum (5 gallons/50 pounds). If
we are ground up formulating something very unique it may be as much as 110 gallons. This question can only
be answered once you submit your FORM A or FROM B (found online at www.rainshadowlabs.com).
Question: What would be the minimum order if I wanted RainShadow Labs to package my product?
Answer: The minimum order for packaging is 25 gallons per formula/fragrance, with the exception for lip balms
and candles.
Question: Can you give me a “ball park” idea of what my product will cost prior to this process?
Answer: Not really, since each customer’s needs are so different (depending on which additive ingredients,
fragrances, etc. will be used). We cannot submit for pricing until our technical department has developed your
product, sent you a sample, and you have given your final approval. Then the formula is sent to pricing and
the pricing is forwarded to you. Quotes do take 3-5 business days and they will be emailed to you.
Question: Can you quote my packaging project without seeing my packaging?
Answer: There are so many variables that will make a difference on the cost of packaging. We will need one of
your containers (bottle, jar, tube, tottle, etc.), caps, and labels along with any additional special packaging
requests (ribbons, tissue wrap, unit cartons, bags, etc) that you may have. We will also need to know whether
you will be supplying the shipping boxes, or if you want us to supply them. After we do the quote for you, any
change requests prior to actual contract will need a re-quote. No changes can be made once the
contract/deposit is done and we are underway on your project.
Question: If I pay a lab charge, will I own the formula?
Answer: No. RainShadow Labs is developing this formula from our bases and/or technology at your request.
The lab charge ($130.00/hr) simply offsets time in the lab plus testing time. One to two hours lab work is a small
price for development, but the actual formula will stay with RainShadow Labs and we will make it for you. It will
not be shared with any other customers or duplicated by RainShadow Labs itself.
Question: Is there a charge for custom formulation?
Answer: After careful review of your product request (as reviewed in FORM A or FORM B) we will review your
request and start communication in regards to custom formulation and lab samples. The lab charge is $130.00
per hour. This is a one time lab fee that will cover all lab revisions and adjustments to the formulation until you
sign off on it. The lab fee will cover your shipping (ground only) and samples until the project is complete to your
specifications.
Question: Will you keep my product idea confidential?
Answer: Sometimes we are asked who we make for or if we make a particular product for a particular
company. Except for a handful of companies that we can mention in our marketing (we have their permission
or because it is public information), all other company names and products are considered confidential and
will not be disclosed. Any company information given to us is treated as confidential. We do not share lists with
companies or individuals that call, so please do not ask, and we can start developing for you on a clean slate.
You can find a copy of our NDA on our website.
Question: Will you review my label prior to printing in regards to correct ingredient list and FDA requirements?
Answer: Yes, as long as it is one of our bases or a special formula that we are making for you. We cannot verify
what we do not make. We will not review all of your marketing or label claims. Our review will be limited to the
ingredient deck and fill quantity as per our in-house fill test. If you are filling your own packaging or having it
filled elsewhere, we will only review the ingredient deck. Please allow 48 hours for our review.
Question: Are all your ingredients natural?
Answer: Most of our ingredients are natural, and many are certified organically grown as well. We use only the
finest of what Mother Nature has to offer. Occasionally, when there is no natural alternative to do the job, we
7
use the safest, purest item we can substitute (from the food industry). If synthetics or preservatives are used, it is
always in less than 1%.

science and variations found in the natural world being reflected in a product. We consider this to be
verification that the natural vitality and properties of any particular plant matter have in fact been captured by
RSL in a formulation. This will not be grounds for a return or refund.

Insurance: At RainShadow Labs we stand behind the quality of our products. Our insurance covers all responds
to where products that are manufactured by our company with our approved “in-house” ingredients only
when we provide all of the ingredients, package the product, label the product, and send the product for
distribution. If we will be doing this for you, you can inquire about being named on our insurance for product
liability only. The customer should also carry his or her own business insurance for their business and operations.
If you choose to add to/alter the product at your site or to self package, it is strongly recommended that you
arrange your own liability insurance. Our company insurance will not allow us extend to insure product that is
not fully in our control at all levels of preparation.
Samples: When you are ordering a product for the first time, make sure that you have requested a sample
first. We offer all our stock products in 1oz-2oz samples for just $3.95 each. Your initial three samples are
complimentary (you will be charged for freight). You can order samples right on line through Buy Direct (link
here) or you can call customer service at 503-366-3413.
We do not accept returns on any stock products where the correct product was sent out.
Custom Samples: For more information on custom samples, please go to the Lab Samples and Contract page
online.
Shipping Information:
Shipping: On “stock” items, under 1 drum, it usually takes 7 to 10 working days from the time we receive your
order until it ships from our docks. Allow time for travel. For large custom/drop-fill orders, allow 4 to 8 weeks until
ready to ship. We ship FOB from St. Helens, Oregon, best way, or by your instruction. Custom orders will be
confirmed with a contract and deposit prior to time quote. Please make sure your shipping information is
correct. A $10 charge will be made on all shipments that require address corrections called in after the
product has shipped.
Damaged Shipments: Please do not sign for the shipment until you have checked for external damage. If the
damage is bad, refuse the shipment. Always have your delivery driver sign your paperwork acknowledging the
damage. This will make the claim much easier. If you did not notice it at first, save all packaging and
containers for damage inspection. Call us immediately, and we will help you with your damage claim with the
carrier. You must report all damage within 10 days of receipt.
About Shipping Rates:
Small/Individual Boxes: We have contracts with FedEx or UPS. We can use whichever account you would like so
please let us know at the time of shipping. If you have an account with FedEx or UPS we can also ship under
your accounts. We do not have any additional shipping/handling costs. Small bulk freight will be added to
your invoice at the time of shipping.
Large/Pallet Freight: Any orders shipping out that will go on a pallet will go by freight. We currently contract with
three freight companies that have agreed to extend our discount rates to you. You will be billed directly from
the freight company. If you have a preferred freight company we can use them to ship your order.
9
When your large/pallet order is ready to ship you will get an email with rate quotes. This will outline the
charges and their estimated delivery times. We do need to know when you place your order if you will need a
lift-gate or inside delivery. Please note that FedEx is the only company with an on-time delivery guarantee built
into their pricing so if you are in a rush for your product, please watch for these delivery times. We will not ship
your order until we have heard back from you.
Once your shipment has left our facility, you will need to contact the shipping company directly to
arrange payment and delivery. Please keep your quote so you can reference the quoted price. You will
receive an email from us with the BOL and PRO number so you can reference your shipment.
Any and all damage to your products once they have left our facility need to be dealt with directly to
the freight companies. Damage does happen in shipping and there is a process to handle it. Watch your
pallet closely when you receive it and make sure to have your driver acknowledge any and all damage to the
pallets upon delivery.
Unless otherwise instructed by you prior to shipping this is how we will ship your order:
Small orders: If your order is less than 250 lbs, we will use UPS Small Package
Mid-size orders: Orders between 250-499 lbs are best shipped by Freight Ground
Larger orders: If your order is 500+ lbs., we will ship by truck (usually 50%-70% discount on truck rates). If your
order is going by truck and you will need a lift gate to lower the products to your dock, please specify this at
the time of your order and we will let the trucking company know. The trucking company usually charges a fee
for this and delivery can take a few extra days, but it can be done.
Please note: if you are in Hawaii, Alaska, or out of the country, you will need to specify how you want your order
shipped. UPS/FedEx is usually more expensive to these areas, and US mail is sometimes preferred. We will insure
your order if sent by US mail.
We can “estimate” the weight of your order and let you do some checking around for your best freight
rates. Then let us know, and we will follow your shipping instructions.
When shipping by truck, if you can get better rates and discounts, let us know and we will ship freight collect on
your carrier. If you are close and wish to pick up at our docks, this can be arranged at the time of order and we
will give you a call/email you when your will-call order is ready for pick-up.

ARL Oil Free Repair Lotion: addresses all of your oily, blemish prone, shiny, and sensitive skin care needs. Our
CEO and Owner, Vanessa Johansson, personally oversaw the creation of this active formulation, and the results
have not disappointed her or anyone else.
This silky, elegant, concentrated, lightweight, healing, and matte effective lotion repairs traumatized and
damaged oily skin types. For AM and PM use, the ingredient profile makes this a suitable oil-free lotion for all skin
types. Truly it is a one stop product as it disinfects, heals, repairs, moisturizes, absorbs excess oil, creates a silky
matte finish on the skin, shrinks pores, removes discoloration, and balances sebum production and pH on the
skin surface…and MORE!
The absence of oil in this formula prevents the breeding of bacteria on the skin surface, which otherwise
infiltrate the skins acid mantle and create spots and blemishes. Layer this lotion with a spritzer or spray water
distillate, and oily skin will be nourished and repaired with much needed moisture without overwhelming
clogged pores, blackheads, and shiny foreheads, noses, cheeks, and chins .
Rose and Panthenol, Royal Jelly and Irish Moss, Amino Acids and Reishi Mushroom, Aloe Vera plant gel and
silca……. and so much more make this formula an absolute MUST HAVE for every single product line on the

Pure essential oils:
fragrant oils extracted from botanicals using steam distillation
EO1-Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia)-Italy, Ivory Coast…Calming, antiseptic, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory,
hormonal support, anti-bacterial. It is believed that Christopher Columbus brought bergamot to Bergamo in
Northern Italy from the Canary Islands. A mainstay in traditional Italian medicine, bergamot has been used in
the Middle East for hundreds of years for skin conditions associated with an oily complexion. Bergamot is
responsible for the distinctive flavor of the renowned Earl Gray Tea, and was used in the first genuine eau de
cologne.
EO2-Chamomile (Chamaemelum Nobile)-Utah, Egypt….anti-spasmodic, anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory,
regenerates skin, sedating, calming, decongestant, reduces scarring/acne. Chamomile is a cleanser of the
blood, helps increase liver function, and supports the pancreas. Promotes the regeneration of skin and can be
used for abscesses, burns, rashes, cuts, dermatitis, teething pains, acne, eczema, infected nails, cystitis,
inflamed joints, menopausal problems, toothaches, ulcers, wounds, and stress related complaints.
EO3-Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea)-Utah, France…estrogen-like, supports hormones, anti-infectious, anti-bacterial,
relaxing, helps with PMS and menopause, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, treats hemorrhoids and dandruff. The
name “clary” sage came from the nickname for “clear eyes” given in the Middle Ages for its ability to cure eye
conditions.
EO4-Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus polybractera)-Australia, Brazil…anti-infectious, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, antiinflammatory, expectorant, bug repellant. Treatment for acne and cystitis. For centuries Australian Aboriginals
used the leaves as a disinfectant to cover wounds. Shown by laboratory tests to be a powerful anti-microbial
agent, eucalyptus has often been used for the respiratory system as well as a powerful insect repellant.
Eucalyptus trees have been planted throughout parts of North Africa to successfully block the spread of
malaria. According to Jean Valnet, MD, a solution of 2% eucalyptus oil will kill 70% of airborne staph bacteria.

was valued more than gold and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. Researchers today
have discovered that frankincense is high in sesquiterpenes, which help stimulate the limbic systems of the brain
as well as the hypothalamus, pineal, and pituitary glands. The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human
body, controlling release of many hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.
EO6-Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens)-Egypt, India….used to treat acne, burns, eczema, regenerates tissue,

Amodimethicone is an abbreviation of “amine-functionalized silicone,” which is a family of silicones modified
to have specific properties. The simplest, and perhaps most well-known silicone, polydimethylsiloxane
(dimethicone, by INCI naming standards), consists of methyl groups (-CH3) as the pendant group along the
backbone of the polymer chain (Figure 1). Amine-functionalized silicones have been chemically modified so
that some of the pendant groups along the backbone have been replaced with various alkylamine groups (-RNH2). These amine groups become positively charged in aqueous solutions because of their electron-donating
(basic) tendencies, yielding an inorganic, cationic polymer.[i]
These inorganic cationic polymers deposit onto the hair because of the electrostatic attraction between the
polymer and the negatively-charged protein surface of the cuticle. In this manner, they behave much like
polyquaternium materials (organic cationic polymers), which are excellent conditioning agents as well. The
charge density of the polymer can be varied by changing the placement and quantity of the amine groups. A
polymer with greater charge density will be more substantive to the hair than one with lesser charge density.
One interesting property of these polymers is that they provide selective conditioning to the areas most in
need of it. The mechanism by which they accomplish this is, again, electrostatic attraction. Highly damaged
areas of the hair cuticle possess higher negative charge density, which enhances the affinity of the cationic
polymer to that specific area. These polymers can provide a targeted beneficial effect.
Once the amine-functional silicone is deposited onto the surface of the hair, it spreads out and forms a cross
linked film when it dries. This cross linked film can last through several washings, which is considered to be
advantageous in most applications. A unique property of these polymers is that once in place on the surface of
the hair, they repel further deposition of amine-functional polymers on top of the existing layer, preventing
buildup. This cross-linked film seals moisture inside the hair shaft, holding the cuticle flat and providing excellent
wet and dry comb-ability. An additional benefit of these silicones over other cationic polymers (such as
polyquats) is their high refractive index, which gives the hair a high degree of gloss and shine.
Silicones, including amodimethicone, also protect from thermal damage resulting from styling tools, such as
hot rollers, curling irons, and blow dryers. This phenomenon is due to their very low thermal conductivity — much
lower than water, glycerin, or mineral oil. This reduces heat transfer through the hair surface to the cortex of the
hair. Very high temperatures found when styling or processing hair (sometimes as high as 100°C to 160°C) are
capable of vaporizing water contained within the cortex. It is extremely important to maintain proper hydration
of the hair because water has a very high specific heat which helps protect the hair from getting too hot. Hair
that reaches too high temperatures can suffer permanent damage to the delicate keratin fibrils in the cortex. A
protective layer of amodimethicone on the surface can help prevent or reduce damage done in this
.Amodimethicone and other similarly modified silicone polymers are considered to be among the best highperformance conditioning polymers currently available to the hair-care product formulator. They provide many
unique benefits, including the following:
o Deep conditioning
o Targeted conditioning to areas of particularly damaged hair
o Protect from thermal damage
o Increase color retention
o Resist build up
o Impart gloss and shine
o These modified silicones seem to be of particular benefit for those of us with damaged hair,
permanently colored hair or those concerned about the buildup of conditioning agents.
Apricot Kernel oil-Prunus Armeniaca… Emollient/moisturizer. A natural nut/vegetable oil pressed from the kernel
of the apricot, for penetrating and softening. Non-greasy feel. High content of Vitamin E. Some claim it can aid
the skin in retaining elasticity and suppleness. Is a triglyceride containing oleic and linoleic acid. Another natural
replacement for mineral oil. Used by the Hunza people for millennia, contributing to their being the healthiest
and longest living people in the world. Mimics the skins natural sebum and is readily absorbed into skin. A great
carrier oil as well.
Arnica-Arnica Montana… Anti-inflammatory; botanical; skin protectant; bruise and discoloration inhibitor. This is
from a plant containing healing and astringent properties. It is sometimes taken internally to help reduce
bruising prior to cosmetic surgery. Germany’s Commission E (Germany’s equivalent to US FDA) has approved

Camu Camu Berry- This active ingredient is used in skin care as a powerful vitamin c source. Research vitamin c
and skin care to understand the value of this ingredient. Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia) is a native bush to the
South American rainforest that produces a fruit containing more vitamin C than any other known botanical
source. For comparison: a fresh camu camu berry may contain up to 4% vitamin C, whereas a lemon may
contain at most 0.5% vitamin C. Some sources estimate that camu camu berries have 30 times as much vitamin
C as oranges. RainShadow Labs camu camu is loaded with an incredible 380 mg of immune-supportive
Vitamin C in every ½ teaspoon serving! Best of all, RainShadwo Labs Camu Camu has no additives and no
fillers, and it is 100% raw!
Indigenous Amazonian peoples would pick the camu camu berries in season, dry them, and use them
medicinally for the rest of the year. This purplish-red berry becomes light beige in color when dried and
powdered.
The camu camu berry is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, the amino acids serine,
valine and leucine, as well as small amounts of the vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin). Camu
camu also contains high levels of anthocyanins (a powerful antioxidant), bioflavonoids, and other essential co-
51
factors. All of these nutrients help the body make full use of the abundant levels of Vitamin C found in this
superfruit. For proof of this we need only turn to Dr. James Duke, notable USDA scientist and author of The
Green Pharmacy: "I take vitamin C for colds...I prefer to get mine from camu camu, the amazing Amazonian
fruit that has the world's highest vitamin C content."
Traditionally, camu camu has been used to:
* support the immune system
* maintain excellent eyesight
* create beautiful skin
* ward off viral infections
* support strong collagen, tendons and ligaments
* decrease inflammation
* improve respiratory (lung) health
* help maintain optimal clarity of mind in times of stress and anxiety
Camu camu berries especially support the functions of the brain, eyes, heart, liver and skin.
In a comparative study of hundreds of botanicals, ranked in order of effectiveness for various health
conditions, camu-camu was ranked among hundreds of herbs as follows:
Anti-mutagenic #4

**This comparative study's results are not FDA approved. We make no specific claim as to the camu camu
berry's medical properties.
As a natural vitamin C source, this product may be used in conjunction with MSM powder to rejuvenate
collagen and improve the health of the skin.
"One of the most powerful botanical substances known. If you know the power of vitamin C, camu camu
berry powder is the best source. It's essential." - David Wolfe, author of The Sunfood Diet Success System and
Eating for Beauty
"There is no doubt that ascorbic acid [Vitamin C] is required for the synthesis of collagen in the bodies of
human beings and other animals. One of the important functions of collagen is its service in strengthening the
intercellular cement that holds the cells of the body together in various tissues. It is not unlikely that part of the
effectiveness of vitamin C against the common cold, influenza, and other viral diseases can be attributed to
this strengthening effect, and in this way preventing or hindering the motion of the virus particles through the
tissues and into the cells." - Linus Pauling, Vitamin C, the Common Cold, and the Flu, 1971, p.43-45
Canola Oil- Carrier; emollient; moisturizer. Extracted from rapeseed oil. It is considered to be a natural
replacement to Mineral Oil. Has good emolliency and lubrication.
Carbomer- a group of thickening agents used primarily to create gel-like formulations
52
Carnauba Wax- A natural, hard wax obtained from the leaves of palm trees. It is used primarily as a thickening
agent, but also has film-forming and absorbent properties. To protect itself against dehydration during the
period of drought that severely affects the Northeast region of Brazil every year for more than six months, the
Carnauba covers its leaves with a thick layer of wax consisting basically of esters, alcohols and fatty acids of
high molecular weight. Once the leaves have been collected, they are dried out and beaten for the wax to
loosen up. After going through a refining process that includes filtering, distillation, and centrifugation, the wax
is used all over the world by various industries, such as in the manufacture of polishing wax (floors, shoes, cars
etc.), in the paper and packaging industries, in making paints and other more resistant continuous coatings, in
the cosmetic industry (lipsticks, enamels), in the food industry (bubble gum, chocolate, fruits), as well as in the
pharmaceutical industry as vehicle and excipient.
Carrageenan- …Chondrus Crispus. Irish Moss. A natural stabilizer and emulsifier. Wonderful humectant
properties for the skin and hair. Seaweedlike in smell and water soluble.
Carrot Oil-Daucus Carota Sativa…Botanical; emollient; anti-aging; skin protectant. This carotene rich emollient
is derived from the carrot root. A good source of Vitamin A. Used in some cosmetics to treat skin blemishes or to
assist with creating a tan stain in conjunction with other ingredients. Also some application indicated for
dermatitis and skin rashes by some estheticians.
Cellulose Gum- Cellulose gum (CMC) is one of the most common hydrocolloid or thickening agent used by the
global processed food industry due to its versatility, ease of use and effective cost-in-use.
Cellulose gum is based on natural cellulose strains such as for example the lint from the cotton seed and its
main functionality is to add mouth feel and texture, stabilize proteins, retain moisture and form oil-resistant films
in a vast variety of food applications.
Centrimonium Chloride- It is a quaternized ammonium molecule (frequently abbreviated as quat), and it has a
single positive charge at the head group. CTAC belongs to a family of molecules known as cationic
surfactants, which can be used as emulsifying or conditioning agents. Some other commonly used molecules in
this group are cetrimonium bromide (CTAB), behentrimonium chloride, and quaternium-15.
Their conditioning capabilities are due to electrostatic attraction between the positively-charged head group
of the cationic surfactant and negative charges that occur along the surface of hair strands. This electrostatic
attraction causes cationic surfactant molecules to deposit themselves onto the cuticle of the hair, which helps
create a smoother surface and also reduces static-induced flyaway hair that can occur in cold, dry weather.
As emulsifying agents, cationic surfactants can be used to aid the formulator in getting many different types
of hydrophobic (water fearing) oils to go into solution. They are frequently used in mixtures with a nonionic
surfactant. These mixtures can form large micelles, or emulsion droplets. Oil-in-water micelles are clusters of
molecules with an oily center or core, made up of the non-polar tails of the surfactants, surrounded by an outer
shell formed by the polar portion of the molecule. The polar portion of the shell is water soluble, and the interior
of the micelle can encapsulate a water-insoluble oil, such as silicone. This complex particle can then be
dispersed into an aqueous solution, such as a hair conditioner or shampoo formula. (There are also micelles
known as water-in-oil micelles, where the polar groups are in the interior portion of the micelle, and the oil
soluble portions are on the exterior of the micelle.)
A common example of such a mixture is cetrimonium chloride, trideceth-12 (the nonionic surfactant), and
amodimethicone. The two surfactants surround the amodimethicone, which is water insoluble. The resultant
aggregate of all three components is dispersible in water, due to the hydrophilic nature of the micelle shell.
However, it should be noted that this mixture is dispersible in water for the purposes of ease of manufacture of
the shampoo or conditioner. The mixture does not remain intact during product use, and it should not be
inferred that having those three components in a formula renders the amodimethicone water soluble once it is
applied to the hair.
Once the actual product is applied to wet hair in the shower, the aggregate is broken up and each
component does what it would ordinarily do. The nonionic surfactant is washed away when the hair is rinsed;
the positively-charged amodimethicone and the cationic surfactant are each deposited (separately) onto the
surface of the hair. The amodimethicone is left alone, and is thus in its water insoluble state, and it dries to form
a film, which imparts sheen and silkiness to the hair. Despite the fact that it is water insoluble, amodimethicone
has been found to resist the formation of build up, and most users have reported excellent results with products
containing amodimethicone, even if they use a shampoo-free regimen.

Ceteareth 20- Fatty alcohol that is used to thicken cosmetics and keep ingredients mixed together and stable.
Cetyl Alcohol- A fatty alcohol used as an emollient, emulsifier, thickener, and carrying agent for other
ingredients. RSL uses a naturally derived cetyl alcohol as in coconut fatty alcohol. It is not an irritant and is not
related to SD alcohol or ethyl alcohol. The term alcohol here is a real disservice to this ingredient as it is really a
fat substance. Produced from Palm Oil usually, but it is also found in Coconut and other vegetable oils (it can
be made synthetically too). Considered by some sources to be non-comedogenic, it is a moisturizer (not at all
a drying alcohol).
Citric Acid- Acidulent; AHA; buffer. Often used to adjust the pH of a product.
Citronella- Cymbopogon Nardus…Used primarily in lotions, gels, and sprays as a natural bug repellent.
Especially effective when combined with other natural essential oils that also repel insects and fleas.
Cocoa Butter-Theobroma Cacao… Emollient; skin conditioner; skin protectant. A luscious moisturizing fat that
has a high melting point so it is often observed as a solid. Good lubrication. Super high mineral content, vitamin
C content, and feel good “love” chemicals. Cocoa was named Theobroma and means 'food of the gods'.
Cocoa Butter is becoming increasingly popular in the natural bodycare and cosmetic industries for good
reason. It has been used for centuries in Africa for its moisturizing and healing properties, where it has been used
to protect and condition skin which has been damaged by the sun and wind.
The four major West African cocoa producers are the Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon. The Ivory
Coast produces about 43 percent of the world's cocoa, and the next largest producer is Ghana with about 14
percent of the world's output. Nigeria is one of the smallest and produces about 6 percent of the world's
cocoa. Outside of West Africa, the major producers of cocoa are Indonesia, Brazil, Malaysia, Ecuador, and the
Dominican Republic. After cocoa beans have been received at the processing location, they are inspected
and thoroughly cleaned of all extraneous matter, such as sticks, stones, and metal fragments, as well as broken
beans. Once the beans are cleaned they are roasted and then ground into a paste. The heat generated by
this process causes the Cocoa Butter in the nib to melt, hence the name ‘cocoa liquor’. Chocolate liquor
destined for processing into Cocoa Butter is refined to a very small particle size because it is easier to reduce
the particle size early when the butter is still present. A smaller particle size makes butter extraction easier.
Cocoa Butter contains natural antioxidants that give it a long shelf life of over 3 years. It is naturally rich in
Vitamin E as well as a number of other vitamins and minerals. Vitamin E helps to soothe, hydrate, and balance
the skin and also provides the skin collagen which assists with wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Cocoa Butter
also contains cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP), a substance that inhibits the production of the immuno globulin
IgE. IgE is known to aggravate symptoms of both dermatitis and asthma. For centuries pregnant women have
used to Cocoa Butter formulations to prevent and treat stretch marks, but this pleasant-smelling substance is
added to countless other topical preparations. Lotions and oils containing Cocoa Butter are often used in
aromatherapy massage to promote relaxation and the feeling well-being. Research indicates that massaging
the skin with Cocoa Butter may help relieve stress, boost the immune system, and even prevent cancer. This is
because Cocoa Butter, like chocolate, contains a lot of CMP and there is some evidence that the CMP in
Cocoa Butter may also help prevent heart disease and ease arthritic symptoms. Cocoa Butter is mainly used is
a thickening agent and is a common ingredient in lipsticks, soaps and emollient creams. It is also a folk remedy
for burns, cough, dry lips, fever, malaria, rheumatism, snakebite and wounds. It is reported to be antiseptic and
diuretic.

giving birth to reduce stretch marks.
Cocamide MIPA- A mixture of isopropanolamides of coconut acid. Also known as cocamide
monoisopropanolamine. This ingredient works in a variety of ways, including as an emulsifier, a stabilizer (in
foams & emulsions), a thickener, a surfactant, an anticorrosive agent and a foaming agent. It is mostly
contained in personal care products such as shampoo, hair dye, conditioner, body wash, dandruff treatment,
bubble bath, exfoliant/scrub, cleanser and liquid hand soap
Cocomidopropyl Betaine- Cocamidopropyl Betaine is a mild amphoteric co-surfactant. It is derived from
coconut oil and beets and is highly water soluble in wide pH range, pH: 5 - 6 (10 % aqueous solution). It is
supplied in a clear yellow liquid with no or faint odor. Cocamidopropyl betaine is very mild co-surfactant
compatible with anionic, nonionic, cationic surfactants (also useful as primary surfactant), good cleanser &
foam booster, viscosity enhancer, excellent conditioning & antistatic agent, moderate emulsifier. It is used in
body washes, shampoos, bubble baths, cleansing lotions, creams, hand soaps, baby products, hair
conditioners, cream rinses at use levels of 2-40%
Coconut Milk- RainShadow Labs chooses to utilize coconut as a milk alternative for skin care and bath soaks.
There is a significant body of work supporting this choice. Research continues to prove that Coconut will not
only bring temporary relief to the skin, but it will aid in healing and repairing. It will have lasting benefits, unlike
most lotions. It can help bring back a youthful appearance. The coconut milk will aid in removing the outer
layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. The skin will become more evenly textured with a healthy
"shine". While doing this the coconut milk will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the
underlying tissues.
What coconut milk can do for your skin it can do for your hair. It is wonderful to use as a hair
conditioner. Beauticians who are familiar with coconut swear by it. It softens the hair and conditions the
scalp. Using the coconut milk as a pre-wash conditioner can rid a person of dandruff better than a medicated
shampoo.
Antiseptic fatty acids in coconut oil help to prevent fungal and bacterial infections in the skin when it is
consumed and to some extent, when it is applied directly to the skin. The only way to gain entry into the body
other than through the natural openings, such as the nose and mouth, is by penetrating the skin. When the
skin's defenses break down, infections can result. Acne, ringworm, herpes, boils, athlete's foot, and warts are
just some of the infectious conditions that can affect the skin and body.
The biggest chemical barrier to infectious organisms is the acid layer on the skin. Healthy skin has a pH of about
5, making it slightly acidic. Our sweat (containing uric and lactic acids) and body oils promote this acidic
environment. For this reason, sweat and oil do us good. Harmless bacteria can tolerate the acid and live on
the skin, but troublesome bacteria can't thrive and their numbers are few.
The oil our bodies produce is called sebum. Sebum is secreted by oil glands (sebaceous glands) located at
the root of every hair as well as other places. This oil is very important to skin health. It softens and lubricates
the skin and hair and prevents the skin from drying and cracking. Sebum also contains medium chain fatty
acids, in the form of medium chain triglycerides, that can be released to fight harmful germs.
Our skin is home to many tiny organisms, most of which are harmless; some are beneficial. At least one variety
of bacterium is essential to the healthy environment on our skin. It feeds on the sebum, breaking down the
tryglycerides into free fatty acids. The bacteria actually feed on the glycerol part of the triglyceride. This leaves
fatty acids which are now "freed" from the glycerol unit that held them together. Medium chain fatty acids
55
which are bound to the glycerol unit as they are in coconut oil have no antimicrobial properties. However,
when they are broken apart into free fatty acids, they become powerful antimicrobials.
So these bacteria convert the medium chain triglycerides (in the sebum or on the skin) into free fatty acids
that can kill disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The combination of the slightly acid pH and medium
chain fatty acids provides a protective chemical layer on the skin that prevents infection from disease-causing
organisms. Due primarily to the action of bacteria, the oil on the surface of your skin and hair is composed of
between 40 and 60 percent free fatty acids. The medium chain fatty acids in the sebum provide the
protective layer on the skin that kills harmful germs. Coconut is nature's richest source of medium chain fatty
acids.
When coconut oil is put on the skin it doesn't have any immediate antimicrobial action. However, when
bacteria which are always present on the skin turn these triglycerides into free fatty acids, just as it does with
sebum, the result is an increase in the number of antimicrobial fatty acids on the skin and protection from
infection. The free fatty acids also help to contribute to the acid environment on the skin which repels disease
causing germs.
When bathing or showering, soap washes the protective layer of oil and acid off our skin. Often afterwards
the skin becomes tight and dry. Adding moisturizers helps the skin feel better, but it does not replace the acid
or the protective medium chain fatty acid layers that was removed. Your skin is vulnerable to infection at this
time. You would think that your body would be clean and germ-free after a bath. But germs are everywhere,
floating in the air, on our clothes and everything we touch. Many germs survive washing by hiding in cracks
and folds of the skin. Before long your skin is again teaming with microorganisms, both good and bad. Until
sweat and oils return to reestablish the body's chemical barrier your skin is vulnerable to infection. If you have a
cut or cracked skin, this can allow streptococcus, staphylococcus and other harmful germs entry into the
body. By using coconut oil cream, coconut milk, or just pure coconut oil you can quickly help reestablish the
skin's natural antimicrobial and acid barrier.
Coconut milk will absorb easily, keep the skin soft, and yet without feeling greasy. It is not like other soaks
used to soften rough, dry skin. It will help to reduce chronic skin inflammation within days and be soothing and
healing to wounds, blood blisters, rashes, etc. It is an excellent ingredient to use in healing salves and
ointments. People have used a coconut oil/crushed garlic mixture at night to eliminate plantar warts and
athlete's foot with excellent results.
A key point regarding coconut milk and its accompanying oils is Lauric Acid. Approximately 50% of the fatty
acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional
beneficial function of being translated into monolaurin in the human or animal body. Monolaurin is the antiviral,
antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the human or animal to destroy lipid coated viruses
such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes
and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown antimicrobial
effects of the free lauric acid .
Coconut Oil-Cocos Nucifera…Antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, and contains lauric acid which is unique and
wonderful for the skin. Virgin coconut oil is cold-pressed, pure, natural and unrefined. Our Virgin Coconut Oil is
extracted from freshly harvested coconuts using a "wet milling" process that uses neither chemicals nor high
heat. The result is a clear coconut oil that retains the distinct scent of coconuts. Our Virgin Coconut Oil is a offwhite to white solid at temperatures below 76 degrees F. Virgin Coconut Oil is a great ingredient for lotions and
hair treatments as well as soaps. In addition, it is naturally full of antioxidants and has an endless shelf life.
Colloidal Silver- A powerful healing agent and natural antibiotic. Please see our newsletter online for more
information.
Corn Silk-Zea Mays…Botanical.
Cranberry Seed Oil- Vaccinium Macrocarpon….Cranberry seed oil is a high essential fatty acid content oil .It is
the only available botanical oil with a one to one ratio of Omega 6 (linoleic) to Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic) fatty
acids. This balance is critical for optimum halth and dermal integrity. Cranberry seed oil has excellent oxidative
stability and contains 70% essential fatty acids making it a superb emollient, lubricant and conditioner for the
skin. It is excellent for use in skin, hair, lip and baby care. Cranberry seed oil contributes to the lipid barrier
protection of the skin and assists in moisture retention. This rich oil also contains an impressive ORAC rating for
antioxidant value. CSO also contains high concentrations of tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols,
phospholipids and Vitamin A, redefining performance and stability standards for highly polyunsaturated oils.

Dead Sea Salts- Salts from the Dead Sea have been legendary for centuries for their therapeutic and beatifying
properties on the skin. Nothing like regular sea salt, Dead Sea salts are comprised of a wide variety of minerals
which are present in a high concentration. Whereas regular sea salts is made up of over 90% sodium, salt from
the Dead Sea is only about 10% sodium and the rest is made of minerals which are essential for the proper
function and health of skin. Such minerals include Magnesium, Potassium, Bromine and Calcium to name a few
. Sprains, bruises, muscle injuries, swelling, back aches, and nervous tension are all relieved by the healing
minerals in Dead Sea salts.
Unlike regular salt, Dead Sea salt is not edible and tastes bitter to the taste primarily because of the low
sodium content and the high presence of so many other minerals. This fact however gives it the therapeutic
properties that have been raved about for centuries. The minerals present in the salt are also naturally present
within skin cells but commonly get depleted which can cause severe dryness, wrinkle development and dull
looking skin. When Dead Sea bath salts or products made with minerals extracted from the salt are used, the
feed those essential minerals back into the skin cells improving the overall health and vitality of the skin.
Because of this rich presence of so many essential minerals, people from all over the world travel to the Dead
Sea to get relief from their skin ailments such as Psoriasis, Eczema and more. There are many spas and skin
therapy centers located on the shores of the sea to take It has been researched and documented that
bathing in Dead Sea salts helps relieve skin conditions such as Psoriasis and Eczema, bath salts have become
an open secret among sufferers of these conditions, because there is no other natural remedy.
The legend of how well Dead Sea salt works at helping skin look and feel younger, smoother as well as provide
relaxation and skin ailment therapy dates back many thousands of years. For instance, over 2000 years ago the Jewish Roman historian Flavius wrote the following about people's experience with Dead Sea bath salt: "The
Dead Sea can not be praised too highly...travelers take as much of this salt as they are able to home with them
because it heals the human body and is therefore used in many medicines."
Cleopatra, the queen of ancient beauty was legendary for her magically youthful looks throughout her whole
life, even as she got older. The real secret to the beauty of her silky skin was the anti aging effect of bath salts,
mud and cosmetics made with Dead Sea salt - which was gathered for her at the factories she had built on the
shores of the sea. The ruins of those factories can still be seen today at Erin Brooke and Erin Geed and they
stand as testimonials to the ageless beauty power of Dead Sea bath salt. This chart outlines the mineral
properties of Dead Sea salts.

Evening Primrose plant, Oenothera Biennis . The yellow flowers only open in the evening, hence their common
name. Evening Primrose is a common wildflower found in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia . This plant
was used by Native Americans and early settlers as a nutritional support and to treat against conditions such as
sore throats, stomachaches, hemorrhoids, and bruises. Evening Primrose has also been used medicinally in
Europe since the seventeenth century. Over the last 20 years, this oil has once again become popular for its
medicinal properties, and is now a common dietary supplement.
With the popularity of anti-fat diets and trends, many people are under the incorrect impression that all fats
are bad, and that they should be avoided. However, this is a falsehood, and the truth is that some fats are
necessary and vital for our health. Essential Fatty Acids support our physiological functions, and are essential for
the health of our skin and overall health. Essential Fatty Acids cannot be produced by our own bodies, and
instead must be obtained from dietary sources. Evening Primrose Seed Oil is a rich source of gamma linoleic
acid, an Omega 6 fatty acid that is needed for our cardiovascular, immune, nervous, and reproductive
systems, and to maintain healthy cells and body functions. In addition, Evening Primrose Seed Oil has antiinflammatory and anti-oxidant effects and may also act as a blood thinner and blood vessel dilator.

Honey-Mel…Emollient; humectant; skin conditioner; hair conditioner. Honey is composed of several sugars and
other substances, including malic, formic, citric, and lactic acids as well as enzymes and amino acids. A highly
complex substance.
Hyaluronic Acid… Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most exciting ingredients on the market today. It was
discovered by Karl Meyer in 1934 and has been successfully used in personal care and wound healing. Until
the 1990’s the only method of producing hyaluronic acid was extracting it from rooster combs. Currently there
are two forms of hyaluronic acid on the market; one derived from rooster comb and the other derived by the
fermentation of yeast. RainShadow Labs only carries the 100% vegan approved material.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the extracellular matrix of human tissue. Topically applied hyaluronic acid
forms an air permeable layer and penetrates into the dermis, thus boosting the elasticity and hydration of the
skin. The protective breathable barrier on the skin locks in moisture which gives the skin a youthful appearance.
The cuticle layer of the skin normally contains 10-20% water, however as we age it can drop to below 10%.
Hyaluronic acid comes to the rescue with its unique ability to hold more than 1000 times its weight in water,
which is a key factor in allowing the skin to retain more water. Amazingly, hyaluronic acid adjusts its moisture
absorption based on the relative humidity in the air. It is the ideal ingredient in skin care products as it adjusts to
the skin’s need for a moisturizing effect depending on the relative humidity of seasons and climate of an area.
Hyaluronic acid also protects the epidermis by scavenging reactive oxygen species generated by ultra violet
light which would normally cause sunspots.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil- A natural source oil from Castor beans. A hard and shiny oil found in most cosmetics
that acts as a barrier agent and protective medium against harsh conditions and extremes. Very soothing to
the skin when included into cosmetic applications. This oil is rich in fatty acids, and very soothing and
lubricating to the skin. It acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. By itself, it would make a very soft
bar but in combination with other oils, it makes a nice emollient bar of soap. Makes a great superfatting agent.
Hydrolyzed Quinoa- A high amino acid content vegetarian protein coming from the wild Andes mountains in
Peru. The protein binds to the hair shaft for superb hair restructuring with a clean green footprint. Contains a low
molecular weight.

used (most often in styling products) as a film-forming agent.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose- A plant-derived thickening agent typically used as a binding agent or
emulsifier. Also used (most often in styling products) as a film-forming agent.
Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate- a corn starch. Hydroxypropyl corn starch phosphate is used as a
hydrocolloid for improved availability of active ingredients in cosmetic or dermatological compositions.
Inulin Lauryl Carbamate- Inulin lauryl carbamate is a natural stabilizer and emulsifier derived from chicory, that
keeps our oil in water or our water in oil lotions and creams consistent and smooth.
Isononyl Isononanoate- a zero toxicity organic emulsifier for gentle skin conditioning and no irritation. Isononyl
Isononanoate is the ester of a branched chain nonyl alcohol with a branched chainnonanoic acid.
Isopropyl Palmitate-Palm Oil…This organic Palm Kernel Oil is pressed from the fruit kernels of the palm tree Elaeis
guineensis.It is most commonly found in handmade soap to increase its lather and hardness. It may also be
used in a multitude of other cosmetic and bodycare products for its moisturizing properties. Palm oil can be
59
used in lotions, cremes, balms, body butters and stick formulations where a thicker product is desired. When
used in cold process soap making, it makes a nice hard bar when used in combination with other oils such as
coconut and olive oil. It saponifies easily and pulls other oils into saponification quicker.
Jojoba Beads- gentle jojoba wax beads in various colors exfoliate without scratching.
Jojoba Esters- An emulsifier from jojoba fats and waxes for binding and holding formulations together naturally.
One of the primary elements in keeping skin healthy is making sure the structure of the epidermis (outer layer of
skin) is intact. The components that do this are often called natural moisturizing factor. These are ingredients
that mimic the structure and function of healthy skin. Jojoba and Jojoba esters are one of these NMF’s. While
the oil and fat components of skin prevent evaporation and provide lubrication to the surface of skin, it is
actually the intercellular matrix, along with the skin’s lipid content, that gives skin a good deal of its surface
texture and feel.
The intercellular matrix is the skin’s first line of defense against water loss. When the lipid and NMF content of
skin is reduced, we experience surface roughness, flaking, fine lines, and a tight, uncomfortable feeling. The
longer the skin’s surface layer (stratum corneum) is impaired, the less effective the skin’s intercellular matrix
becomes (Sources: Skin Research and Technology, August 2000, pages 128–134; and Dermatologic Therapy,
2004, volume 17, Supplement 1, pages 43–48). Moreover, the skin’s healing process is impaired. NMFs make up
an expansive group of ingredients that include amino acids, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, cholesterol, fatty
acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, glycosphingolipids, urea, linoleic acid, glycosaminoglycans, glycerin,
mucopolysaccharide, and sodium PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid). Ingredients that mimic the lipid content
of skin include apricot oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, jojoba oil, jojoba wax, lanolin, lecithin, olive oil,
safflower oil, sesame oil, shea butter, soybean oil, squalane, and sweet almond oil, all of which can be
extremely helpful in making dry skin look and feel better.
All of the skin’s supporting NMFs and lipids are present in the intercellular structure of the epidermis, both
between skin cells and in the lipid content on the surface of skin. When any of these ingredients are included in
skin-care products, they appear to help stabilize and maintain this complex intercellular-skin matrix. More
important, all of these ingredients, and many more, help support the intercellular area of the skin by keeping it
intact. This support helps prevent surface irritation from penetrating deeper into the skin, helps keep bacteria
out, and aids the skin’s immune/healing system. Using moisturizers of any kind that contain NMFs (whether they
are labeled as anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, serums, lotions, or sunscreens) allows your skin to do its job of repairing
and regenerating itself without the impedances brought on when skin is suffering from dryness, environmental
distress, or excess irritation (Sources: Clinical Geriatric Medicine, February 2002, pages 103–120; Progressive Lipid
Research, January 2003, pages 1–36; Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology,

Jojoba Oil-Simmondsia Chinensis…Emollient; moisturizer. Very high natural content of Vitamin E. Extremely skin
nourishing. Lasts longer in natural state than most oils. Has been credited with skin healing. Provides rapid
absorption. Non comedogenic. Mimics skinc natural sebum for superior uptake and absorption.
Kaolin- Absorption base; anti-caking; from earth clays. Is a mixture of various aluminum silicates. Has absorption
abilities for both water and oil.
Kelp-Macrocystis Pyrifera… Botanical. Sea Kelp is full of trace minerals from the sea. Nutritive value to skin. Has
been used in Asia for soothing burns and rashes. Stimulating, revitalizing, and nourishing to the skin due to its
sulfur amino acid and iodine content. Kelp has anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties. When harvested
correctly it is full of natural vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
Kokum Butter-Garcinia Indica…Emollient; moisturizer. Kokum butter is obtained from the fruit of the Indian tree.
The butter is extracted from the fruit kernels. Moisturizes skin and helps reduce wrinkles. Reduces degeneration
of the skin cells and restores flexibility.
Kukui Nut oil-Aleurites Molaccana…Kukui Nut Oil has been used for many years in Hawaii , and has only
recently become known to the rest of the world. It is prized for its rejuvenating and soothing effects upon the
60
skin, without leaving a greasy or oily film. Pressed from the seeds of the Aleurites moluccana tree, Kukui Nut Oil is
invaluable for many different skin conditions, providing moisture and nourishment to dry, mature, and
damaged skin.
The Kukui Nut tree was first brought to Hawaii by early Polynesian settlers. It quickly adapted, and is now
Hawaii 's official state tree. Kukui means ‘enlightenment' in Hawaiian. Traditionally, babies in Hawaii were
anointed with Kukui Nut Oil to protect their skin from the sun, salt, and other elements. In addition, it was used
on skin irritations, wounds, and burns. Kukui Nut Oil was also used to massage members of royalty, who were
sometimes massaged for seven or more hours with this oil!
Kukui Nut Oil is a fabulous moisturizer, and quickly penetrates the skin leaving a silky-smooth non-greasy
feeling. It is often used for dry or damaged skin, immediately relieving symptoms because of its quick
absorption into the skin. It can leave even the roughest and driest skin feeling smooth, soft, and hydrated. Kukui
Nut Oil contains Vitamins A, C, and E, providing anti-oxidants that help to protect the skin. This unique oil is able
to penetrate into the deepest skin layers, while creating a protective shield that locks in moisture. Kukui Nut Oil is
great for those with sensitive skin, and is a wonderful ingredient to add to your bodycare products. Specifically,
it is beneficial for the following conditions:
Burns – including: sunburn, windburn, radiation burns, and heat induced burns.
o Eczema
o Chapped skin
o Psoriasis
o Mature and prematurely aged skin
o Dry skin conditions
o Acne
o Scars
o Lesions
o Dry hair and scalp
Kukui Nut Oil is an excellent oil to add to your bodycare products, especially your creams, lotions, and
massage oils. Simply add Kukui Nut Oil once that your product no longer needs to be heated, and do not
expose it to high temperatures. You can also use it for an oil treatment on dry hair and scalp, or add a few
drops to your bath water for a luxurious treat. Emollient; moisturizer; vegetable oil. Prized as a very emollient oil
from Polynesia. Hawaiians used it to soothe burns, cuts and to protect skin from irritations. Has shown some
effectiveness in soothing psoriasis and eczema as it does not leave an oily after residue. High linoleic and
linolenic acid content.
Macadamia nut oil-Macadamia Ternifolia…This fine oil comes from the pressed nuts of the Macadamia tree. It
is a priceless delight for the skin and has proven itself to be one of the best regenerative oils available.
It is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and closely resembles sebum (the oil naturally produced by ones skin
to help protect it). Macadamia oil is a fabulous, protective oil with a high absorption rate and has been
successfully used as a healing oil for scars, sunburns, minor wounds and other irritations.
Emollient; moisturizer; vegetable oil. A highly volatile yet wonderfully moisturizing oil. Its fatty acid composition is
similar to a fatty acid of sebum. Beneficial to dry skin, and has a non-greasy after-feel. The oil is derived from the
nuts of the macadamia tree (closely related to hazelnut). Contains triglycerides and palmitoleic properties.
Magnesium Aluminum Silicate- Powdery, dry-feeling, white solid that is used as a thickening agent and powder
in cosmetics.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate- Vitamin C- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a vitamin C derivative
that has better stability than absorbic acid. In DIY skin care MAP is often used for: UV protection and repair,
collagen production, skin lightening and brightening, and as an anti-inflammatory. It is also a potent
antioxidant.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water soluble vitamin C derivative (L-Ascorbic acid mono-dihydrogen
phosphate magnesium salt) with superior percutaneous absorption and stability. MAP is an excellent nonirritating skin whitening agent that inhibits skin cells to produce melanin and lightens age spots. Magnesium
Ascorbyl Phosphate is a potent anti-oxidant (protects skin from oxidation incl. UV rays) and it inhibits lipidperoxidation. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an anti-inflammatory and it promotes collagen synthesis. MAP
does not degrade in formulas containing water.
Skin-lightening products have become more popular around the world. With the increased number of
lightening, whitening and brightening products, questions have arisen as to the safety of some skin-bleaching
61
ingredients. The US Food and Drug Administration has proposed a ban on over-the-counter sales of cosmetic
products containing hydroquinone.
The interest in lightening products remains strong, which means that there is a need for other ingredients that
achieve the same lightening results. One emerging product in this realm is magnesium ascorbyl phosphate.
Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin C, known to show some evidence of
skin lightening abilities. The Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD) and its Cosmetic Research producttracking extension both show rapidly increasing numbers of new products featuring magnesium ascorbyl
phosphate.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil- Limnanthes Alba…Meadowfoam Oil is pressed from the seeds of Meadowfoam
(Limnanthes alba), a plant which received its name because of its resemblance while in bloom to the white
foam blowing on the ocean. Meadowfoam is native to northern California, southern Oregon, Vancouver
Island, and British Columbia. It has proven to be invaluable in the body care and cosmetic industries, and is also
being studied for pharmaceutical and industrial use.
Meadowfoam oil contains over 98% long-chain fatty acids, and also has higher quality triglyceride levels when
compared to other vegetable oils. In addition, it has three long chain fatty acids that were previously unknown
before its discovery. It also has amazing moisturizing and rejuvenating capabilities, is very stable, and may be
utilized for many different purposes.
We highly recommend incorporating Meadowfoam oil in your natural body care recipes because of its
outstanding qualities. It is widely used in cosmetic and hair care products because it is moisturizing, extremely
stable, and capable of adhering and staying on the skin. In addition, Meadowfoam oil is one of the most stable
oils, and will actually extend the shelf life of less stable ingredients. When applied to the skin, it forms a moisture
barrier and will assist the skin with preventing moisture loss. It is a key ingredient in many different products such
as massage oils and lotions, facial creams, sun block, hair and scalp products, cosmetics, body lotions, and
shaving creams. In hair care products, it will add shine and moisture to the hair, and will remedy dry or
damaged hair. When added to lotions and lip balms, it will remoisturize dry or cracked lips and skin, and will
make balms last longer. In summary, Meadowfoam oil has these beneficial characteristics:
o Moisturizes the skin
o Rejuvenates and adds shine to hair
o Ultra-violet protection (sunscreen applications)
o Non-greasy feeling, soaks into the skin easily
o Reduces wrinkles and signs of aging
o Blends well with other carrier oils
o Very stable, even under heat and air exposure
o Adheres well to the skin
o Binder, helps products retain their scent longer
o Stability extends product shelf life when combined with less stable ingredients
Aside from these amazing cosmetic uses, Meadowfoam oil is also beneficial for our environment! It was first
developed in the 1970’s, and was introduced as an alternative to sperm whale oil in order to protect the
species. The pressed seeds are fed to cattle and other livestock, and are a source of nutrients for these animals.
While grown in the field, birds, insects, mice, and other critters, also eat the nutritious seeds. The Meadowfoam
plants themselves are a renewable crop, and are usually grown as a rotation crop for grass seed farmers. This
eliminates the need to burn the fields in between grass seed plantings, and also provides farmers with
additional income. Meadowfoam also requires less fertilizer and pesticides than most crops, assisting farmers
and the environment. Scientists at Oregon State University and the US Department of Agriculture, as well as
other scientists, are all currently studying Meadowfoam oil, in order to discover new applications for this
versatile oil.
Menthol-Laevo Menthol… Cooling agent; flavor. Penetrating and cooling sensation. Derived from peppermint.
Methylisothiazolinone- Used in cosmetics as a broad spectrum preservative. It is typically used at 0.1%.
Micro-Clustered Crystallized Water- This water technology organizes the water molecules into highly structured
crystalline forms that are able to penetrate fully into cells for total hydration. Most water is so disorganized from
being treated with harsh chemicals, having been stored without movement, and being pushed through pipes
that te molecules are far too large to penetrate into the cells of our bodies. Thus we take in water but do not
actually rehydrate. . Water naturally moves in a spiral and this is what keeps it structured and organized and
62
able to hold infinite amounts of information. Our technology structures the water… powerful magnetic and
infrared sources reduce the size of individual water clusters, creating Hexagonal Water for more efficient and
rapid penetration into the cells of your body.
Increases the oxygen…. turbulent forces create a powerful and visible vortex, increasing the amount of
oxygen in your drinking water up to 30%. Additional oxygen enters the cells by way of the water molecule itself.
…and adds unique bio-available minerals…. a unique mineral core, comprised of tourmaline, coral calcium,
zinc, lithium and others contribute to the structuring of water. The water is purified by commercial grade reverse
osmosis processes beforehand, to remove "structure breaking" minerals/ions such as chlorine, chlorides,
potassium, magnesium, aluminum, etc.).A select set of ionic minerals are known to enhance the construction of
hexagonal water. These minerals occur in very small amounts and help "organize" the water molecules into
tightly packed arrangements which serve to protect and enhance cellular health. Commonly occurring
minerals can be grouped into "structure making" or "structure breaking" categories as listed below.
In order to ensure that the final product has the correct mineral "balance", the water is first purified by high
quality reverse osmosis system; the minerals are then combined in the vortexial water movement in the lab.
Calcium, sodium, zinc, iron, silver, copper and others help to convert water into hexagonal water while
potassium, chloride, fluoride, aluminum, sulfide and others destroy the hexagonal structuring of water.
The process is similar to erasing unwanted information from a computer disc before placing new information
on the disc.
MSM-Methylsulfonylmethane…Methylsulfonylmethane has been present in the oceans, soil, and atmosphere of
the Earth for eons. Organic sulfur (MSM) occurs naturally in the human body. It actually makes up 5% of the
human body and is essential for every organ, cell, tissue, hormone, enzyme, antibody, and function found in
the body. This whole food is a beautifying mineral, and contributes to hair, skin, nail, and joint renewal and
health. Bio-available, MSM must be continually replenished for optimal youth, nutrition and health. A wonderful
additive to have in EVERY product. For more information on MSM check out our newsletter online.
Mineral Salts- Magnesium Sulfate… Magnesium performs more functions in more systems of the human body
than virtually any other mineral, including regulating the activity of more than 325 enzymes. Studies show that
magnesium is:
o an electrolyte, helping to ensure proper muscle, nerve and enzyme function.
o Critical to the proper use of calcium in cells.
o An aid in helping to prevent heart disease and strokes by lowering blood pressure, protecting the
elasticity of arteries, preventing blood clots and reducing the risk of sudden heart attack deaths.
Medical research also indicates that magnesium may:
•
•
Increase the effectiveness of insulin, helping to lower the risk or severity of diabetes.
Reduce inflammation and relieves pain, making it a beneficial in the treatment of sore muscles,
bronchial asthma, migraine headaches and fibromyalgia.
Although magnesium can be absorbed through the digestive tract, many foods, drugs and medical conditions
can interfere with the effectiveness of this deliver method. Therefore, soaking in an Magnesium Sulfate Salt bath
is one of the most effective means of making the magnesium your body needs readily available.
Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which medical research indicates are needed for the formation of brain tissue,
joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Studies show that sulfates also
stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and help to detoxify the body's residue of medicines
and environmental contaminants. Studies indicate that sulfates are difficult to absorb from food, but are readily
absorbed through the skin. Studies show these benefits from the major components of Epsom Salt may:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Ease stress and improves sleep and concentration
Help muscles and nerves function properly
Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes
Help prevent artery hardening and blood clots
Make insulin more effective
Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps
63
•
•
•
•
•
Improve oxygen use
Flush toxins
Improve absorption of nutrients
Help form joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins
Help prevent or ease migraine headaches
Noni-Morinda Citrifolia (Polynesian Noni)…Hawaiians swear by this ingredient that comes from a green fruit.
They have been using it to eat, drink, and used as a part of healing ointments for years. Pungent; amber in
color. Used for healing cuts and bruises by the Polynesians. Full of bioflavonoids, plant sterols and beneficial
alkaloids and phytonutrients.
Oat-Avena Sativa…Absorbent; emollient; soother; anti-irritant.
Ocean Mineral Complex- A consciously harvested, highly effective liquid complex that epitomizes Innovative
Natural Science. A truly unique, proprietary concentrate of over 92 ocean minerals in a highly stable, bioavailable compound base of all natural materials. Ocean Mineral Complex is the answer to tired and
compromised skin structure and integrity, and will breath new life into the same old skin care regime.
Ocean minerals and trace elements are called cofactors, meaning they activate enzymes necessary for
proper cellular function. This is the equivalent of placing the key into the ignition of the car. Thalassotherapy is a
very old regime which incorporates a variety of treatments where one is bathed, showered, wrapped, rubbed,
or scrubbed with sea water or seaweed to prevent or cure various conditions and to provide vitality and
replenishment for the skin and body. RainShadow Labs has taken this age old wisdom and refined it into a
modern, cutting edge youthening and replenishing bioactive concentrate
Seawater is very similar in composition to human plasma and is readily accepted into the human body.
Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, phosphorus, copper, infinite ions as well as trace minerals are
some of the essential nutrients found in our ocean mineral complex. The re-mineralizing and restorative
properties of the ocean are captured here in a potent concentrate which can be worked into any cutting
edge proprietary formulation. As our soil and its bounty continue to be de-mineralized and depleted of
essential nutrients and trace elements, our Ocean Mineral Complex will provide a substantial boost not only to
the anti-ageing program of its users, but also a boost to their health. This is something that we can all feel good
about.
Octinoxate- UVA/UVB SPF factor for higher sun protection.
Octyl Palmitate-Used in cosmetics as a thickening agent and emollient.
Oleic Acid- Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid found naturally in many plant sources. It is an omeganine fatty acid, and considered one of the healthier sources of fat in the diet. It’s commonly used as a
replacement for animal fat sources that are high in saturated fats. You may find various butter and egg
substitutes made with high levels of oleic acid.
Oleic Acid has been shown to slow the development of heart disease, and promotes the production
ofantipoxidants . One of the chief sources of oleic acid in foods is olive oil .It is often used to make soap and is
present in a number of cosmetics.
As a cosmetic ingredient, oleic oil seems to be a great moisturizer . In fact most cosmetic companies owe their
inspiration to men and women who used oleic acid in natural forms to moisturize the skin — using olive oil on
the skin has been a common practice in Italy and Greece for centuries.
Olive Oil-Olea Europaea…Olive oil is by far the most universal oils used for a multitude of purposes including
cosmetics, as a carrier oil, for hair care solutions, and in cooking.
It has a rich, full bodied flavor with a strong aroma and is golden brown in color. Has a great conditioning
effect in body care recipes and can be used in almost all applications because of its stable nature. The line of
Olive oil offered by RainShadow Labs is 100% pure cold pressed and extra virgin from the highest quality Tunisian
Olives with no other oils added to it. A great light barrier oil rich in Polyphenols and antioxidants. Soothes and
hydrates skin. High in polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants and nutrient rich. Long lasting, stable oil.
Used often to help soothe burns and scrapes, in an extra pure form called “Sweet Oil.”
Olive Seeds- Olea Europaea….a wonderful botanical exfoliant for scrubs and washes. Gentle and clean.
64
Orange Peel Tincture-Citrus Aurantium Dulcis…Anti-inflammatory; antibacterial; antiseptic. Contains properties
considered to be toning and antiseptic. Also some anti-fungal properties present.
Oregano Oil-Rhus Coriaria…This is claimed to be an antioxidant, with properties to assist in inhibition of bacterial
growth and inhibiting the growth of fungi. Assists with decreasing inflammation as a detoxifier.
Organic Herbal Infusion- RainShadow Labs has implemented a particular menu of key ingredients that will be
found in almost every formulation coming out of our laboratory.
o Organic Aloe Vera. The Egyptians revered this succulent, and Cleopatra mashed up the gel of this
plant onto her infamously beautiful face every day. This is a substance of perpetual youth and rapid
healing. Naturally occurring MSM in the aloe vera leaf lends to this plants rejuvenating properties.
Natural plant steroids and salicylic acid are delivered in the gel of aloe vera, and skin is youthened
and nourished, as well as soothed in the summer heat. Great for sun burns, toning, shrinking of pores,
and a great source of silicon for the skin to recreate itself in the most beautiful manner possible
o Organic Gotu Kola…. In ancient China, Gotu Kola was the principle ingredient in a famous elixir
called Fo Ti Tieng, a brew that had an astounding reputation as “Fountain of Youth”. Gotu Kola works
specifically to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin, as well as the manufacture of new skin
cells. This translates into beautiful renewed, supple skin. Gotu Kola greatly enhances the integrity and
vascularization of connective tissue and skin, hastens wound healing, improves elasticity and
rejuvenates blood vessels for improved circulation to the skin.
o Organic Horsetail. Named for its resemblance to the tassle on a mare’s nether parts, there is no other
source of silica more concentrated than Horsetail. Why do we care about silica? Not only is silica a
mojor building block for hair, skin, and nails, but Silica is the age old secret to beauty. Hair, nails, and
skin all thrive on silica, drinking it up like water in a desert. The mineral silicon possesses many hidden
properties, one of which is its ability to be transformed into calcium. Silicon is a “conscious” mineral. It
seems to posses a form of intelligence. That is why all of our computers are coming from “The Silicon
valley” and are based on silicon technology. This is also why crystals and crystal healing are so
popular….crystals are made of silicon. It is also why silicon possesses such healing and beautifying
properties. Many believe that the application of this mineral has a tendency to manifest a more
refined and perfected physical appearance. The skin knows exactly how to use silica to make itself
the best that it can be.
o Organic Geranium … Having been used for centuries in topical skin care applications, this elegant
flower packs a beautiful punch. It’s forte lies in it’s incessant regeneration of skin tissue. Proving to be
excellent for rebuilding scarred, damaged, and broken down skin cells, Geranium is prolific in
renewing even severely burned skin without leaving any discoloration or scarring behind. Distilled
from the fragrant leaves of the rose geranium (not the common geranium found in many windowsills),
geranium effectively balances hormones, treats acne, inflammation, wounds, and WRINKLES.
o Organic Dandelion….. Considered by most to be a pesky weed, RSL is here to set the record straight
and raise Dandelion up to its well deserved glory. As a wild plant that has not been cultivated like
most others, dandelion retains its high mineral content, and passes this onto us in a highly bioavailable
form. Having originated in Greece, it’s botanical name comes from the Greek words “disorder” and
“remedy”. It has blown itself into the four corners of the world, and today is used as a thousand year
old remedy for breast cancer in China, a cure for AIDS in Toaist Herbalism, and in Costa Rica is sold as
a remedy for diabetes. Dandelion contains chemicals called eudesmanolides, which are found in no
other herb. Other components include sterols, flavonoids, and mucilage. These are all highly revered
antioxidants, preventing the degeneration of skin cells and DNA. A key to anti-ageing is preventing
free radical damage. Dandelion kicks free radical booty, and is why we include it religiously in our skin
care formulation menu.
Panthenol- Vitamin B5… Panthenol is a non-irritating form of Vitamin B that is usually derived from plants. When
this natural, hydrating vitamin is applied externally, it penetrates into lower skin layers, gets absorbed into your
skin cells and turns into pantothenic acid (commonly known as Vitamin B5). Because panthenol is absorbed
deeply into the skin, it adds essential moisture and has a desirable plumping effect.
Panthenol, with its humectant-like properties, penetrates into layers beneath the surface of your skin so it can
be used to treat a myriad of minor skin disorders and irritations. This natural substance is safe to use on your skin
and can even be administered internally. In 1984, panthenol was included in the list of over the counter drugs
65
published by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 1987, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review
(CIR) concluded that panthenol was safe to use in cosmetics as a humectant, emollient and moisturizer.
Over the past twenty years, panthenol has been effectively used to treat sunburns, irritations, dryness and
other minor skin disorders. This non-toxic vitamin has incredible absorption properties and helps to diminish
wrinkles by infusing moisture into the deeper layers of your skin. In 1995, a study conducted by LH Leung also
suggested panthenol as an alternative treatment for acne because it counteracts bacteria. Panthenol can be
found in a variety of skin care products developed to treat dry, normal, combination and acne-prone skin.
Using panthenol in your skin will help to keep it smooth by helping to maintain its natural moisture balance and
counteracting surface bacteria. Panthenol reduces inflammation, soothes irritation and initiates the rebuilding
of your skin. The healing properties of this vitamin have also been proven to be beneficial for stronger hair and
nails.
The regular use of moisturizers, toners, shampoos and conditioners that include panthenol naturally ensure a
softer, more attractive appearance everyday.
Papaya Enzyme-Carica Papaya…Antioxidant. Contains a considerable amount of Papain, Folic Acid, Vitamin
C, Beta Carotene, and enzymes. Some antiseptic properties.
Passionflower- Passiflora Incarnata…The passion flower is native to the Amazon and other tropical regions of
North and South America. Many botanical species of passion flower exist. Passion flower from the species
Passiflora incanata is a long, woody vine that produces beautiful, exquisite flowers and a delicious, nourishing
fruit. Each vine reaches an average length of about 50 meters.
The passion flower has been used medicinally for hundreds of years, and its benefits are scientifically
documented. It is most widely known for its sedative, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-spasmodic
properties.
Passion Flower Oil, Passiflora incanata, also known as Passionfruit Oil or Maracuja Oil, is a superior emollient rich
in vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus. The high content of essential fatty acids and light texture of Maracuja
Oil (Passion Flower Oil) makes it a valuable contribution to a wide array of personal care products intended to
nourish the skin and treat dry skin conditions. Maracuja Oil is highly recommended in scalp and hair care
products to encourage healthy hair growth and increased vitality. Maracuja Oil is calming and sedating, and is
suitable for inclusion in bath care products and products intended to promote relaxation. Its anti-inflammatory,
anti-spasmodic and sedative properties make it the oil of choice for use in massage applications and
formulations intended to ease muscular aches and swelling. Maracuja Oil (Passion Flower Oil) is a highly
recommended ingredient in products for:
o Mature, Aging Skin
o Dry, Cracked Skin and Other Skin Conditions
o General Skin Care
o Dry, Brittle and Damaged Hair
o Lip Care
o Muscular Aches and Swelling
o Massage
o Relaxation
o Insomnia
PEG 100 Stearate-Also listed as PEG on ingredient labels,polyethylene glycol is an ingredient that selfproclaimed “natural” Web sites have attempted to make notoriously evil. They gain a great deal of attention
by attributing horror stories to PEG, associating it with antifreeze (however, antifreeze is ethylene glycol, not
polyethylene glycol), and there is no research indicating that PEG compounds pose any problem for skin. Quite
the contrary: PEGs have no known skin toxicity and can be used on skin with great results (Sources: Advanced
Drug Delivery Reviews, June 2002, pages 587–606; and Cancer Research, June 2002, pages 3138–3143). PEG is
flexible and has a smooth, waxy feel. When ground up, the small particles are included in scrubs as a gentle
abrasive. When mixed with glycol, it becomes a viscous liquid. In the minuscule amounts used in cosmetics, it
helps keep products stable and performs functions similar to those of glycerin. It is also used internally in
medical procedures to flush and clean the intestinal tract.
Phenolic Acids- Phenols are found in the natural world, especially in the plant kingdom. In some cases phenols
are present in plant foliage to discourage animals eating them. It has natural antiseptic properties.
66
Phenoxyethanol-….Phenoxyethanol is a common cosmetic preservative that is considered one of the less
irritating ones to use in formulations. Phenoxyethanol is an organic chemical compound , a glycol ether often
sed in skin care products. It is a colorless oily liquid. It is mildly solubale in water. Phenoxyethanol can be
derived form flower extracts. It does not release formaldehyde. It is a weak biocide, most active against Gramnegative bacteria. It is typically used at 0.1%.
Pheromone Products-Male and female pheromones can be used in a wide range of products. Call if you have
any interest.
p-Hydroxy Benzoic Acid- A preservative that occurs in nature in cherry bark, raspberries, tea, anise, and cassia
bark. First described in 1608 when it was found in gum benzoin. Used in chocolate, lemon, orange, cherry, fruit,
nut, and tobacco flavorings. It is also used in antifungal ingredients in cosmetics such as hair rinses, cleansers,
and moisturizers.
Polyquarternium-37- An ingredient used primarily in hair-care products for its antistatic and film-forming
properties. It can have water-binding properties for skin due to the sheer protective film layer it creates on skin.
Polysorbate 20- This is a non-ionic surfactant that is used to disperse and emulsify formulations. It is indispensable
for oil in water emulsions, such as lotions, conditioners, and cream rinses. It's a must have oil-dispersant in body
mists and spritzers. Made from oleic acid (olive oil source) connected to a sugar (sorbitol) this compound is then
ethoxylated (grain based alcohol) to make it water dispersable. Non-irritating. Used in Body Mist, Linen Sprays or
Spritz's to emulsify the water and oil together so that there is no separation. A 1:1 Polysorbate to Essential Oil
blend added to your bases is generally sufficient. Occasionally you will want a bit more polysorbate to EO
when you find that the blend is not staying emulsified.
Polysorbate 60- polysorbates are a large group of ingredients most often derived from lauric acid, which is
derived from coconuts. Polysorbates function as emulsifiers and also have mild surfactant properties; Some
polysorbates are derived from the food ingredient sorbitol, which occurs naturally in many fruits, while others
have a fatty acid component. Polysorbates are considered non-toxic and safe as used in the concentrations
found in cosmetic and food products.
Pomegranate-Punica Gradatum…Botanical. Pomegranate seed oil is an extremely rich and nutritious oil, which
may be used for internally or externally for its cosmetic and medicinal properties. Pomegranate seed extract
and juice have been popular lately for their anti-oxidant properties, and pomegranate seed oil is proving to be
even more beneficial. Not only does pomegranate seed oil contain high levels of anti-oxidants that fight free
radicals and skin aging, but the oil is also a potent source of punicic and ellagic acids. Because of these
properties, pomegranate seed oil is used to heal, protect, and moisturize dry, cracked, mature, and irritated
skin, bring elasticity back to the skin, and for eczema and other skin problems. If pomegranate seed oil seems
expensive, consider that over 200 pounds of fresh pomegranates are used to produce just one pound of
pomegranate seed oil!
Pomegranate seed oil is commonly used in cosmetic products to revitalize dull or mature skin, assist with
wrinkles, and to soothe minor skin irritations. Without moisture, wrinkles become more abundant and
pronounced, the skin looks tight and lacks luster. Pomegranate seed oil adds moisture, has natural estrogenic
properties, anti-oxidants, is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, improves skin elasticity, and protects the skin. It
provides relief from minor skin irritations and inflammation, including dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and sunburned
skin. The conjugated fatty acids give it strong anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce swelling and
ease muscular aches and pains.
Several recent studies, including one conducted by the University of Michigan Medical School (published in
the February 2006 Journal of Ethnopharmacology), have shown that pomegranate seed oil stimulates
keratinocyte proliferation, promoting regeneration and strengthening of the epidermis. This study compliments
other recent studies, which have also shown the beneficial results of using pomegranate seed oil.
Pomegranate seed oil is one of the only plant sources of conjugated fatty acids and it contains an abundant
amount of punicic acid, a compound closely related to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The punicic acid found
pomegranate seed oil and has been called a "super CLA" whose effect is even more potent than ordinary CLA.
Scientific studies have indicated that it may support the immune system, and help the body fight against
human cancers, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Pomegranate seed oil also contains phytoestrogens, similar to the estrogens naturally produced by the human
67
body. Many women have found that using pomegranate seed oil has helped to ease symptoms associated
with menopause and perimenopause, such as mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and
diminished libido. To relieve the symptoms of menopause, pomegranate seed oil can be used topically as a
skin moisturizer, orally as a dietary supplement, as a massage oil, or as a personal lubricant.
Pomegranate seed oil may be used within most skin care formulas, including soap making, massage oils,
facial care products, and other bodycare and cosmetic products. Only a small amount is needed within
formulas to achieve beneficial results.
Potassium Phosphate- Potassium phosphate is a generic term for the salts of potassium and phosphate ions. It
keeps PH low in formulations and prevents fungal growth.
Potassium Stearate- An alkalizing ingredient used in the manufacturing of soaps, hand creams, emulsifications,
conditioners, lotions, and shaving crèmes. A safe and gentle ingredient.
PPG-1 Trideceth-6- A natural emulsifier with a rating of zero for irritation or toxicity.
Propolis-Organic Resina Propoli…Skin treatment. Bees collect a substance from the buds of trees resembling
resin. They convert this resin into Propolis. This flavonoid rich substance has both anti-inflammatory and
antiseptic properties, working also as an anti-toxin. It is a germ resistant coating.
Propylene Glycol…. Propylene Glycol is the most common moisture carrying ingredient, other than water, used
in cosmetics because it moisturizes better than glycerin. It is used as a wetting agent and surfactant which gives
a product better absorption and promotes spreading of the product on the skin. Propylene Glycol is an
emollient. It can penetrate the outermost layer of the skin cells and carry other beneficial products deeper into
the epidermis. According to the AMA's committee on Cutaneous Health emollients do help make the skin feel
softer and smoother, reduce roughness, cracking and irritation, and may retard the fine wrinkles of aging.
Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate- Along with other glycols and glycerol, this is a humectant or
humidifying and delivery ingredient used in cosmetics. There are Web sites and spam e-mails stating that
propylene glycol really industrial antifreeze and that it is the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluids.
These sites also state that tests show it is a strong skin irritant. They further point out that the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) on propylene glycol warns users to avoid skin contact because systemically (in the body) it can
cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage. As ominous as this sounds, it is so far from the reality of cosmetic
formulations that almost none of it holds any water or poses real concern. It is important to realize that the MSDS
sheets are talking about 100% concentrations of a substance. Even water and salt have frightening comments
regarding their safety according to their MSDSs. In cosmetics, propylene glycol is used only in the smallest
amounts to keep products from melting in high heat or freezing when it is cold. It also helps active ingredients
penetrate the skin. In the minute amounts used in cosmetics, it is not a concern in the least. Women are not
suffering from liver problems because of propylene glycol in cosmetics. And finally, according to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, within the Public Health Services Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry, “studies have not shown these chemicals [propylene or the other glycols as used in cosmetics]
to be carcinogens” (Source: www.atsdr.cdc.gov).
Pumice- Cosmetic Grind; Abrasive; exfoliant; from earth/rock. Ours is specifically targeted for facial/skin care
products with a cosmetic grind so that it does not scratch the skin’s surface.
Pumpkin Seed Oil-Cucurbita Pepo…Also known as "green gold", pumpkin seed oil is one of the most nutritious
oils available. It contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, E, and Zinc. Pumpkin seed oil has a
pleasant and mild flavor making it suitable for culinary applications. Because of its abundant health and
epidermal benefits, we recommend incorporating this oil into your skin care and hair care formulations.
Raspberry Seed Oil- Rubus Idaeus….Red Raspberry seed oil is an impressive essential fatty acid containing oil. It
contains 83% essential fatty acids. Raspberry seed oil is emollient, lubricating, conditioning, a lipid barrier
providing protection to the skin and provides moisture retention for the skin. This oil has natural UV absorptive
properties in all three ranges beneficial for photoprotection. It contains high percentages of mixed tocopherols,
tocotrienols and carotenoids. The oil maintains a mild raspberry flavor and aroma.

Red Wine-Vitis Vinifera… Antioxidant; carrier; emollient; moisturizer. No skin care claims yet established. This is a
derivative of red wine tannins as a natural byproduct from wine production
Rose Hip Oil-Rosa Canina…Rosehip seed oil is truly an amazing product, which has only recently become
recognized by the general public. This surge in popularity is for a good reason, as it is believed to be the best oil
available for anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation. Numerous scientific studies have also taken place, which have
yielded astounding evidence supporting the use of Rosehip Seed oil.
Rosehip seed oil is extracted from the seeds of a native rose plant which grows wild in Chile. The oil has been
used by native people in Chile for centuries, and has only been validated by scientists fairly recently. The first
major confirmation of its capabilities came in 1983, when the University of Santiago conducted research on 180
individuals. These tests studied people with extensive facial scarring, acne scarring, deep wrinkles, UV damage,
radiation damage, burn scars, surgical scars, premature aging, dermatitis, and other skin related problems. In
these tests, rosehip seed oil regenerated the skin, reduced scars and wrinkles, prevented the advancement of
wrinkles and aging, and helped skin to regain its natural color and tone. Since this time, other universities and
labs have also completed studies, also yielding positive results. Another well-known study in 1988 was
conducted on twenty women between the ages of 25-35 with extensive premature aging to their skin. Their
skin was wrinkled, and had sun spots from overexposure to the sun. After four months of applying rosehip seed
oil daily, their wrinkles and sun spots had almost completely disappeared, and the skin had a fresher and
healthier look. Today, rosehip seed oil is exported around the world, and is used by the medical community, as
well as in fine facial and cosmetic care products.
Rosehip seed oil contains Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell
regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase. This results in firmer, smoother, and more
youthful skin with greater elasticity. Rosehip seed oil also contains a high amount of essential fatty acids and
Vitamin E, which further promotes healthy skin. In particular, it is rich in linoleic and linolenic acids, which are
important skin nutrients. Rosehip seed oil has been used successfully to treat the following skin problems:
•
•
•
•
•
•

Stretch marks
UV damage from overexposure to the sun
Scars from surgery, burns, and acne
Eczema
Psoriasis
Wrinkles and premature skin aging
Hyper-pigmentation
Dermatitis
Burns, including those from radiation and sunburns
Age spots
Brittle nails
Dry and damaged hair
Rosehip seed oil is considered a “dry” oil, meaning that it soaks into the skin easily, and does not leave a greasy
residue. It is a wonderful hydrator, and penetrates dry or damaged skin immediately. This oil may be used
straight from the bottle as a moisturizer, or can be incorporated into a cream, lotion, facial oil, or massage
oil. Because it is so gentle, rosehip seed oil may be used undiluted on the skin, even on sensitive skin. Rosehip
seed oil is a safe, inexpensive, effective, and non-invasive product for preventing and healing damaged skin.
Saponins- Saponins are natural detergents found in many plants, especially certain desert plants. Saponins are
also present in small amounts in some foods, such as soybeans and peas. The two major commercial sources of
saponins are Yucca schidigera, which grows in the arid Mexican desert country of Baja California, and Quillaja
saponaria (soapbark tree), found in arid areas of Chile. Saponins have detergent or surfactant properties
because they contain both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. Saponins are a group of natural
carbohydrates, found in plants, that have considerable potential as nutraceutical agents. Saponins, from a
variety of sources, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (Sources:
Fitoterapia, July 2002, page 336; Phytotherapy Research, March 2001, pages 174–176; and Drug Metabolism
and Drug Interaction, 2000, volume 17, issue 1-4, pages 211–235).
Sesame Oil-Sesamum Indicum… Sesame oil makes a wonderful moisturizer for the skin. Distinctively sweet and
nutty in aroma, it is light yellow in color. Also known as gingelly oil and til oil, Sesame oil boasts of its distinctive
69
fragrance. Consistency wise, it is neither too thin nor too thick. Rich in Vitamin E and B complex, it is extremely
beneficial for health. It also has a high content of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. To
know about the uses and health benefits of Sesame oil, read on…
Some people find the fragrance of Sesame oil a bit strong; therefore, it is usually mixed with some other base
oil such as Almond oil or Grape seed oil to make its aroma lighter. Sesame oil massage works wonders in
relieving tiredness of the body. It is known to possess soothing and tranquilizing properties. It also plays the role
of sun blocker, thereby preventing the skin from being tanned or destroyed by the harmful Ultraviolet rays
Sesame oil is known for its healing power. The presence of high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the oil is
of great value in controllinghigh blood pressure. It makes it possible to lessen the dose of medication required
to combat hypertension. It possesses Vitamin E and thus serves as a great antioxidant, which in turn helps to
lower the cholesterol level. Sesame oil massage protects the skin from being victimized by problems such as
Eczema, Psoriasis, and Blemishes. It has also proved to be effective in treating toothache and problem of gums.
Sesame oil is an excellent emollient and is beneficial in alleviating tension and stress. It has been observed that
people suffering from the problem of hypertension are usually prone to anxiety, poor circulation, nerve and
bone disorders. Thus, Sesame oil application protects the body from various disorders associated with nervous
system. It also keeps away the problem of insomnia and mental fatigue. Sesame oil is an energy rejuvenator,
thus is the best remedy for the tired and aching body. It also helps in treating blurred vision.

A bit about Shea Butter…..also known as karite butter which is extracted from the nuts of the genus
Butyrosperum Parkii Kotschy tree which grows in Central Africa. Karite Butter is superior to cocoa and jojoba
butter in its ability to heal damaged and dry skin.
Great protection for the skin from the elements, sun, photoageing, and elimination of superficial irritations,
burns, eczema, dermatitis, dermatosis, and all damaged hair conditions. Shea butter is an extremely
therapeutic emollient with chemical constituents that help to heal bruising and soreness. With high levels of
vitamin A, E, unsaponifiables and cinnamic esters, these high antimicrobial and moisturizing properties heal and
renew the skin as well as the entire body.
The natives of Central Africa as well as those in Japan use karite butter for food as well as body care. Karite
butter is a replacement for regular dairy butter in foods, and a perfect replacement for dairy butter in cooking
for vegetarians. Karite butter is an outstanding source of essential fatty acids, linoleic acids, and stands out as
an exceptional source of unsaponifiable material.
In Africa, it has also long been used with astonishing results as a massage balm for tired and sore muscles,
rheumatism, burns, and light wounds. Shea butter has a stimulating effect on the metabolism, and clinical
research has indicated that karite butter increases local capillary circulation which in turn increases tissue reoxygenation and improves the elimination of metabolic waste products. A natural anti-oxidant agent, Bamyrine and tocopherols protect the double bond of the oil as a whole and the unsaponifiable compounds in
particular. This makes karite butter a truly fantastic anti-ageing topical as well as dietary supplement.
Another asset natural to raw shea butter is its high protection against ultraviolet rays. Clinical tests consistently
show that karite butter without PABA naturally prevents sunburn when exposed to UV rays. This is a wonderful
alternative to chemical sun-protection factors.
Silica- Mineral found abundantly in sandstone, clay, and granite, as well as in parts of plants and animals. It is
the principal ingredient of glass. In cosmetics it is used as an absorbent powder and thickening agent.
Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend (Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, L’Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, LPyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine,
L-Phenylalanine)…. Amino acids are the basis for all living tissue on Earth. The skin is a living, breathing organ
70
and needs an abundant supply of amino acids to function properly. These “natural miracles” are the very
building blocks needed for the creation of important skin proteins like collagen and elastin. Without amino
acids the skin simply cannot function properly.
These selected amino acids are essential to healthy skin. These are exactly the same amino acids found in
collagen and elastin. Each amino acid is made from plant sources and is painstakingly purified. These amino
acids are then carefully blended to match the optimum amino acid composition in collagen. By utilizing the
unique delivery system in this amino acid blend, the skin now has available the amino acids necessary to
beautify and repair itself on a daily basis.
Amino acids are the main moisture retention factors in human skin. Topical application of amino acids has
shown to dramatically increase moisture content while decreasing visible lines. In addition, amino acids help in
the production of collagen and elastin, regulate sebaceous gland activity and decrease discoloration.
Free radicals are unbalanced molecules caused by the sun, environment and pollution. These unbalanced
molecules randomly bounce around inside skin cells and cause damage to important cellular tissues including
DNA structures. Amino acids are natural free radical scavenges that seek and neutralize free radicals to help
prevent the damage done by them.
L-Proline: Important in maintaining radiant and youthful skin
L-Histidine: Protects the body from radiation and sun damage. Antioxidant, which neutralizes free
radicals helping to prevent skin cell damage.
L-Arginine: Speeds the healing of skin cell damage and wounds.
L-Lysine: Skin conditioning agent. Involved in cellular and tissue repair. Essential amino acid needed for
collagen production.
L-Glycine: Repairs damaged tissue and promotes healing.
L-Isoleucine: Branched chain amino acid. Important in protein synthesis and tissue repair.
L-Tyrosine: A building block of protein used to help the moisturizing product penetrate the skin.
Converted by skin cells into melanin that protects against harmful effects of UV light.
L-Leucine: Branched chain amino acid. Protects against muscle protein breakdown.
L-Glutamine: Helps prevent muscle and tissue breakdown.
L-Valine: Branched chain amino acid. Important for muscular and tissue strength.
L-Threonine: Important for the formation of collagen and elastin.
L-Methionine: Neutralizes free radicals and fights aging of the skin.
L-Alanine: Important in protein synthesis.
L-Acetyl Tyrosine: Highly bio-available form of L-Tyrosine, a building block of protein.
L-Aspartic Acid: Involved in building skin cell DNA (genetic structure in the nucleolus).
L-Serine: Important in formation of cell membranes.
L-Phenylalanine: Building blocks for various proteins. It can be converted to L-Tyrosine.
Silver Sparkle- Mica, Titanium Dioxide for natural based glitter.
Smectite Clay- Montmorillonite-containing bentonite clays have also been used for thousands of years as a
remedy for infections, indigestion, and other medical problems by both appying wet clay topically to the skin
as a poultice and by ingesting it. A recent article in The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy also found that
certain iron-rich clay was effective in killing bacteria. This clay is a very soft phyllosilicate mineral that typically
forms in microscopic crystals forming a clay. It is the main constituent of the volcanic ash weathering product,
bentonite Smectite Clay’s water content is variable and it increases greatly in volume when it absorbs water.
Sodium Carbomer- Carbomers are large molecule agents used as thickening and suspending agents and
emulsion stabilizers in cosmetics. White, slightly acidic powders, carbomers react with fat particles to form thick,
stable emulsions of water and oil. This thickening agent is used to create gel-like formulations.
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose- a gummy substance that is a sodium salt of cellulose; used as a thickening or
emulsifying agent.
Sodium Chloride- More popularly known as common table salt. Used primarily as a binding agent in skin-care
products and occasionally as an abrasive in scrub products.
Sodium Hydroxide-Also known as lye, it is a highly alkaline ingredient used in small amounts in cosmetics to
modulate the pH of a product. It is also used as a cleansing agent in some cleansers.
71
Sodium Selenate- Sodium Selenate, or Selenium is considered to be a powerful antioxidant. It is an element
that is known to be essential, in small amounts, to humans and other living things. In the body it is found as part
of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which helps to rid the body of destructive ‘superoxide’ molecules.
Selenium deficiencies are common, since selenium concentrations depend strongly on locale and diet. Such
deficiencies give rise to symptoms like those of aging: damaged tissues, increased arthritis, heart disease, and
cancer, and increased virulence of viral infections. Medical research has found evidence supporting the
following uses for selenium supplementation:
o it slows aging by protecting cells and tissues from damage wrought by free radicals
o it combats arthritis, inhibits heart disease and prevents cancer
o it reduces virulence of viruses
o it decreases mortality and improves mental state of people with HIV infection
o it can prevent progression of autoimmune thyroid disease
o selenium and iodine taken simultaneously can reduce hyperthyroidism
o selenium combines with metals such as cadmium and mercury to reduce their toxicity
Sorbic Acid- A natural organic preservative derived from mountain ash berries. Sorbic acid is used in many
products, including several foods and even in contact lens solutions. Inhibits the growth of molds and yeast
and fungus in skin care formulations, and adjusts the PH of a product for proper preservation and balance.
Spirulina-Spirulina Maxima…Botanical; stimulant. Full of vitamins and minerals, it is said to have a hydrating
effect on the surface layers of the skin. It has also been represented that Spirulina proteins contribute to tissue
regeneration of the skin.
Sunflower Oil-Helianthus Annuus…Carrier; An oil wealthy in Oleic acids with high amounts of Vitamins A, D, and
E, also has beneficial amounts of lecithin, and unsaturated fatty acids. Deeply nourishing and conditioning for
the skin and it is highly recommended for recipes designed to treat dry, weathered, aged, and damaged skin.
Our line of organic Sunflower oil has a pleasant scent and is easily absorbed and applied.
High in Linolenic acid.
Sweet Almond Oil-Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis…An emollient/moisturizer; a natural vegetable oil pressed from
almonds used for penetrating and softening. Massage therapists have long used this moisturizing oil for
massage. Is used to soften dry skin and to help relieve dry, itchy and irritated skin. Main component is olein with
a small proportion of glyceride. Similar to Olive Oil. Elegant skin feel.
Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine- An Emulsifier that is very ethical as it doesn't use solvents or chemicals. It is
made from vegetable-based components. It is ideal for Hair Conditioners as it makes the hair very soft.
Stearic Acid- Occurs naturally in butter acids, tallow, cascarilla bark, and other fats an oils. A soap softener and
toiletry thickener. Stearic Acid is naturally derived from palm oil. It helps to bind and thicken creams and is also
used in soap and candles.
Tamanu Oil-Calophyllum Inophyllum…Tamanu oil is a remarkable topical healing agent with skin healing,
antineuralgic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibiotic and antioxidant properties. Tamanu oil’s botanical
name is Calophyllum tacamahaca and/or Calophyllum Inophyllum--but it's been called everything from
Alexandrian Laurel to Pannay Tree to Sweet Scented Calophyllum, and in London it was once sold as Borneo
Mahogany. The Tamanu tree is indigenous to tropical Southeast Asia; it is found in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar,
Malaysia, South India, Sri Lanka, and the Melanesian and Polynesian islands. It is grows up to three meters tall,
sporting cracked, black bark and elliptical, shiny leaves. The Tamanu tree blooms twice annually with fragrant,
white flowers, which later yield clusters of yellow-skinned spherical fruit. The fruit's pulp tastes similar to an apple,
within which a large nut is embedded. The nut contains an odorless pale kernel, called punnai in some Pacific
areas. This kernel is dried in the sun for two months until it becomes sticky with a dark, thick, rich oil; it must be
protected from humidity and rain during drying. This sticky oil is cold-pressed to make a greenish yellow oil
similar to olive oil. To put this spectacular oil into perspective, and to further justify its relatively high cost, It takes
100 kilograms of Tamanu fruit, the amount that one tree produces annually, to yield just 5 kilograms of cold
pressed oil! Natives believed the Tamanu tree was a sacred gift of nature and that gods hid in its branches. It
was their answer to skin protection from hot sun, high humidity and ocean wind.
72
Indonesians soak the leaf in water; the resulting blue solution is applied to inflamed eyes or taken internally for
heatstroke. It is used as an astringent for hemorrhoids in Philippines. The Manus of Papua New Guinea heat
leaves over a fire until they soften, then apply them to skin ulcers, boils, cuts, sores and pimples. On Dobu Island,
leaves are boiled, and the resulting solution is used to wash skin rashes.
In the Philippines, the sap is mixed with sulfur to create an ointment for boils, open sores and wounds. In the
18th century, native Jamaicans used a similar species for wounds and sores.
Fiji natives use Tamanu oil for joint pains, arthritis, bruises, oozing wounds, chapped lips and preventing diaper
rash. In most south sea islands it is utilized as an analgesic for sciatica, rheumatism and ulcers.
Pacific islanders apply Tamanu oil to scrapes, cuts, burns, insect bites and stings, acne and acne scars, psoriasis,
diabetic sores, anal fissures, sunburn, dry or scaly skin, blisters, eczema, diaper rash and herpes sores--and even
to reduce foot and body odor!
In Europe, sometimes called Domba oil, it has a 70 to 75 percent success rate in alleviating rheumatism and
scabies. It’s also effective on gout and ringworm. It can be applied to mucous membrane lesions. It heals
chapped skin, post-surgical wounds, skin allergies, cracked skin, bed sores, wounds, rashes, abrasions, athlete’s
foot, boils, and infected nails.
Tamanu oil has even healed severe burns caused by boiling water, chemicals and X-rays. Its anti-inflammatory
properties reduce rashes, sores, swelling and abrasions. Tamanu oil promotes new tissue formation,
accelerating healing and healthy skin growth.
Tamanu oil reputedly relieves a sore throat when it is applied to the neck. It’s pain-relieving properties have
also been used traditionally to relieve neuralgia, shingles and believe it or not, leprous neuritis! In the 1920s,
Sister Marie-Suzanne, a nun stationed in Fiji, topically applied Tamanu oil to leprosy victims with positive results.
Tamanu oil possesses significant antimicrobial qualities, as proven in antibacterial and antifungal tests. It
contains powerful bactericide and fungicide agents that defeat human and animal pathogens. Tamanu can
be applied directly to skin, undiluted. There are no reports of adverse effects from topical application. Tamanu
oil has also compared favorably against antibiotics in alleviating these maladies:
o Bladder infections
o Wound infections
o Septicemia
o Pneumonias
o Abscesses
o Boils
o Conjunctivitis
o The cause of diphtheria
o Infected burns
o Urinary tract infections
o The cause of Madura Foot, which causes the foot’s skin to swell and split
o Jock itch
o Ringworm
o Athlete's foot
Tamanu oil fades stretch marks with incredible results. It also works miracles on scar tissue, making scars look
less unsightly. BioScience Laboratories conducted a study of Tamanu oil’s ability to improve the appearance of
scars. Six subjects with obvious scars aged for one year or more participated in the test. Subjects were not
allowed to use moisturizers on their scarred areas for seven days before the test or throughout the nine-week
test period. Scars were rated for roughness, length, width and degree of difference from surrounding normal
skin. Measurements of darkness and redness were also taken for scarred and surrounding normal skin. Digital
photos of scars were taken prior to initial application and at the end of week nine. Tamanu oil was applied to
the scarred area twice daily for nine consecutive weeks. There was significant improvement in appearance of
scars after six weeks, and improvement continued through week nine. Scar length was reduced by an
average 0.28 centimeters, and width was reduced by an average 0.12 centimeters!

pruritis, respiratory problems, sinusitis, skin rashes, staph, strep throat, thrush, tooth and gum infections,
tuberculosis, vaginal infections, veruccae, viral infections, warts, whooping cough, and wounds.
Because the water-resistant “paperbark” is so easy to peel off the tree, it was used extensively by the
aboriginal peoples of Australia to make small canoes, knife sheaths, and thatching for shelters. The pungent
leaves were soaked in hot water and taken as a cure for cold coughs, and headaches – or they were simply
picked from the tree and chewed. In World War ll cutters and producers of tea tree were exempt from military
service until enough essential oil had been accumulated. It was issued to each soldier and sailor for them to
treat tropical infections and other problems of warfare, including wounds.
Tetrasodium EDTA- This is a chelating agent used to prevent minerals present in formulations from bonding to
other ingredients and casusing microbial growth.

scabies, sinusitis, sore throat, sports injuries, sprains, thrush, tonsillitis, urethritis, verrucas, and warts.
Of Interest: So important was the herb’s aroma that its name was culled from the Greek "thymon" which
means “to fumigate”. On the other hand, its name has also been linked to the Greek word thumon, meaning
“courage” – as the plant was associated with bravery. Indeed Roman soldiers bathed in thyme before
entering a battle, and in the Middle Ages sprigs of thyme were woven into the scarves of knights departing for
the Crusades. Most present-day research has centered on thyme’s ability as an antibacterial and antiinfectious agent, even when diffused in the air.
Titanium Dioxide- An inert earth mineral used as a thickening, whitening, lubricating, and sunscreen ingredient
in cosmetics. It protects skin from UVA and UVB radiation and is considered to have no risk of skin irritation
(Source: Skin Therapy Letter, 1997, volume 2, number 5
Triethanolamine-A coating ingredient used for fresh fruit and vegetables and widely used in surfactants and in
dispersing agents and detergents in hand and body lotions, shave crèmes, soaps, shampoos, and bath
powders. Used in cosmetics as a pH balancer.
Urea- Urea is the most scientifically researched organic compound known to medical science. It is the only
proven ingredient to actually heal dry skin. It is wonderful as treatment for eczema, shingles, rosacea, psoriasis,
ichthyosis, and any dry skin condition. Urea is a water soluble compound that is found in all animals and
mammals. Urea is naturally present in healthy skin. It is one of three natural moisturizing factors (NMF) in the
outer horny layer of our skin. The other two NMF are lactic acid and amino acids. There are markedly reduced
amounts of urea in dry skin conditions. Urea preparations are emollients that are essential in the management
of dry skin conditions. Emollients moisturize dry skin by reducing water loss from the epidermis (upper layer of
skin) resulting in softer and more supple skin. The specific actions of urea include:
o Hydrating effects – urea is strongly hygroscopic (water-loving) and draws and retains water within skin
cells
o Keratolytic effects – urea softens the horny layer so it can be easily released from the surface of the
skin
o Regenerative skin protection – urea has a direct protective effect against drying influences and if
used regularly improves the capacity of the epidermal barriers for regeneration
o Irritation-soothing effects – urea has anti-pruritic activity based on local anaesthetic effects
o Penetration-assisting effects – urea can increase the penetration of other substances, e.g.
corticosteroids as it increases skin hydration

Usnea -Usnea Barbata…a wildcrafted lichen originating in the Pacific Northwest. Known for its superb
antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. A natural preservative.
Vitamin A, C, E, B5: see ingredient decks for INCI names- values are those of the specific vitamins themselves, as
our bodies need these vitamins for healthy cell growth.
Vitamin C- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate…The cutting edge of skin care research shows that aging skin is the
result of more than just years on the calendar. Exposure to environmental elements like sunlight, smoke, and air
pollution causes photoaging in skin. Not only does this lead to the formation of lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation
- it can lead to more serious skin conditions, including skin cancer. A comprehensive Vitamin C program can
help prevent photoaging and the onset of more serious skin conditions. Topical vitamin C has now been shown
to provide up to eight times the skin’s natural protection from UV damage. Sunscreens are also an important
part of the prevention process, although they cannot do it alone. Vitamin C protects your skin from the sun in
ways that sunscreens can’t. When used together, Vitamin C and sunscreens provide almost complete
photoprotection - preventing photoaging, preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and
promoting vibrant skin health.
Oxidative damage shows up on our faces in the form of sun spots, discoloration, wrinkles, sagging, and loss
of elasticity and glow.Vitamin C prevents oxidative damage by neutralizing oxygen-free radicals before they
can attack the body. Some Vitamin C is available to the body by oral ingestion, but many individuals do not
achieve even the minimum daily requirement through diet or supplements. Furthermore, Vitamin C cannot be
stored in the body, and so must be reintroduced into the body AND skin on a daily basis. RainShadow Labs
scientists and formulators have refined ways to stabilize and deliver additional amounts of key Vitamin C into
the skin. Continued research has demonstrated that properly formulated vitamin C combinations work
synergistically to provide enhanced benefit. Recent studies show that topical application of optimized Vitamin
C combinations can provide up to eight-fold antioxidant protection, ninety-six percent reduction of sunburn
cells, and prevent the formation of free radicals in UV irradiated skin (sun exposed skin).
Our vitamin C formulations are superior to most of the C products on the market….due to our use of a
uniquely stabilized vitamin C called Stay C 50.
Stay C 50 is water soluble and is a salt form. It is easily bioconverted to
Vitamin C by skin
enzymes. Ascorbyl palmitate is the more commonly used form of vitamin C in skin care formulations today. It is
more stable, meaning that it will not yellow the product base as quickly. The reason that we do not use
ascorbyl palmitate is that it is not as easily converted to Vitamin C in the skin....it remains in the ester form for a
longer period of time. This is not optimal as we want the skin to bioconvert the provitamin form and take up the
C right away! What good will a vitamin C concentrate do for your complexion and skin cells if it cannot
actually penetrate into the skin? So what we are saying here is that the more commonly used ascorbyl
palmitate is more stable but less bioavailable to the skin. We use Stay C 50 at concentrations that may turn the
base a light cream color over time. That is because vitamin C is active...all vitamins are active and sensitive to
light. The main reason the palmitate version was created was to avoid the yellowing in formulation but really
had nothing to do with the skin efficacy. We are only interested in efficacy, and if we have to watch or product
turn a light yellow in order to have the best skin care available, well, so be it!!
Vitamin-C is necessary for the production of collagen, the major structural protein of the skin and although
visible differences will not be seen for approximately two months, you may notice a visible difference in skin
texture, color and tone in as early as a few days. RainShadow Labs Topical Vitamin-C products will start to be
absorbed by the skin almost immediately. Because these vitamin-C products were developed as a
preventative treatment with the goal of protecting the skin from further environmental damage, the skin will
benefit the moment the vitamin-C is applied. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles will become less
noticeable within two to six months. Individual results will vary, depending upon the condition of the skin at the
time of initial use. Research shows that topical vitamin-C offers photoprotective qualities.
Most individuals find the ideal time to apply vitamin-C is in the morning, because during the day you are
more susceptible to sun exposure and L-ascorbic acid provides photoprotection from UVA/UVB radiation. You
can also safely use it at night, as it stays in the skin for up to 72 hours, and cannot be washed off. Using our
Vitamin C products once a day should be perfect for optimal results. Do not let the slight sting upon application
scare you. The high acid levels are necessary in order for the Vitamin C to be absorbed. Other products with
AHA’s can still very safely be used alongside of our Vitamin C formulations, and will actually be greatly
enhanced by the addition of these products.

Wheat Germ Oil-Triticum Vulgare…Wheat Germ Oil is widely used as both a cosmetic ingredient and as a
dietary supplement. It is naturally rich in Vitamins A, D, and E, and also contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, F,
Essential Fatty Acids, protein, and minerals. Because of its anti-oxidant and regenerative properties, Wheat
Germ Oil is a wonderful ingredient to add to bodycare and cosmetic products.
Wheat Germ Oil contains high levels of Vitamin E Oil, as well as other vitamins, minerals, protein, and Essential
Fatty Acids. Essential Fatty Acids support physiological functions, and are essential for the health of our organs
and overall health. They cannot be produced by our own bodies, and instead must be obtained from dietary
sources. Wheat Germ Oil contains linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic fatty acids. These are needed for our
cardiovascular, immune, nervous, reproductive systems, and to maintain healthy cells and body functions.
The Vitamin E Oil present in Wheat Germ Oil promotes skin cell formation, and is great for nourishing and
rejuvenating dry, mature, dehydrated skin, and reducing scars, stretch marks, sunburns, and damaged skin. It
has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects, which may be beneficial medicinally as well as in cosmetics.
The high Vitamin E content in Wheat Germ Oil is a natural preservative, helps to prevent rancidity, and prolongs
the shelf life of cosmetic products.
Specifically, Wheat Germ Oil has been shown to be effective for the following conditions:
o Dry and cracked skin
o Eczema
o Psoriasis
o Prematurely aged skin
o Stretch marks
o Dull complexion
o Tired and overexerted muscles
o Sunburn and burns
o Scars
o Poor blood circulation
o Improves lymph function
White Willow Bark-Salix Alba…Is a compound found in some plants, particularly in the leaves of Wintergreen
and bark of Sweet Birch. Antiseptic. Used in acne soaps and cleansers. It can help dissolve the top layer of
corneum cells and thereby improve the look and feel of the skin. Natural salicylic acid.
Wintergreen-Methyl Salicylate…From wintergreen; antiseptic; flavor. Penetration and analgesic.
Witch Hazel-Hamamelis Virginiana…Witch Hazel Extract is a wonderful ingredient for use in your cosmetic and
medicinal preparations. It is gentle enough to be used alone, or it may be combined with other ingredients or
herbs. Commercial Witch Hazel extracts usually contain more alcohol than actual Witch Hazel, and have only
been distilled once. However, the line offered by RSL leads in both quality and potency. Our true Witch Hazel
extract has been double distilled, and contains 86% Witch Hazel extract and only 14% alcohol. This makes it
more soothing than the version found in your local store, and lacks the alcohol sting and scent.
Witch Hazel extract is produced from the leaves and bark of the North American shrub Witch-hazel, Hamamelis
virginiana. It has been used medicinally throughout history. The Native Americans used poultices of Witch Hazel
leaves and bark to treat hemorrhoids, wounds, painful tumors, insect bites, and skin ulcers. They also made
Witch Hazel infusions for conditions including cuts, colds, heavy menstruation, tumors, and eye inflammation. In
addition, Witch Hazel was used in folk medicine for backache, and internally for diarrhea, nervousness,
nosebleed, vaginitis, and venereal disease.
Witch Hazel extract has astringent, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and
anesthetic properties, making it indispensable for a variety of different medicinal and cosmetic uses.
Medicinally, Witch Hazel extract is used for bedsores, bruises, eczema, insect bites, hemorrhoids, poison ivy or
oak, bruises, sore muscles, swelling, psoriasis, cracked or blistered skin, diaper rash, windburn, and sunburn.
In cosmetic products, Witch Hazel extract is used as an aftershave or a facial astringent, applied to blemishes
76
and pimples, varicose veins, and is used to cleanse oil from the skin, remove make-up, decrease bags under
eyes and skin puffiness, and to reduce pore size. It is beneficial for both oily and dry mature skin, and is
commonly found in anti-aging products as well as in products for blemished or acne-prone skin.
For conditions such as bedsores, bruises, hemorrhoids, poison ivy or oak, bruises, sore muscles, swelling, or
diaper rash, Witch Hazel extract can be applied using a compress. For hemorrhoid relief, it is also added to sitz
baths.
For facial care products, Witch Hazel extract can be easily added to facial cleansers, astringents, masks, and
toners. Witch Hazel extract can be incorporated into creams or lotions, and then applied to the skin. For sore
muscles, Witch Hazel extract can either be used in a compress or cream, or may be added to bath water.
Athletes rub Witch Hazel extract onto their arms or legs limbs prior to workouts to help prevent muscle strain, or
after a workout to help relieve soreness.
Xanthan Gum- Despite its rather alien-sounding name, xanthan gum is as natural as any other fermented corn
sugar polysaccharide you can name. Xanthan gum derives its name from the strain of bacteria used during the
fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris. Xanthomonas campestris is the same bacteria responsible for
causing black spots to form on broccoli, cauliflower, and other leafy vegetables. The bacteria form a slippery
substance which acts as a natural stabilizer or thickener. The United States Department of Agriculture ran a
number of experiments involving bacteria and various sugars to develop a new thickening agent similar to corn
starch or guar gum. When Xanthomonas campestris was combined with corn sugar, the result was a colorless
goo called xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum is considered a polysaccharide in scientific circles, because it is a long chain of three different
forms of sugar. What's important to know is that all three of these natural sugars are present in corn sugar, a
derivative of the more familiar corn syrup. The Xanthomonas campestris bacteria literally eat a supply of this
corn sugar under controlled conditions, and the digestion process converts the individual sugars into a single
substance with properties similar to cornstarch. Xanthan gum is used in dairy products and salad dressings as a
thickening agent and stabilizer. Xanthan gum prevents ice crystals from forming in ice creams, and also
provides a 'fat feel' in low or no-fat dairy products.
Another use for xanthan gum is the stabilization and binding of cosmetic products. One advantage of
xanthan gum is that a little goes an incredibly long way. Cosmetic manufacturers add a very small amount of
xanthan gum to their cream-based products in order to keep the individual ingredients from separating.
Despite the use of bacteria during processing, xanthan gum itself is safe to human skin or digestive systems.
Xanthan gum is often used whenever a gel-like quality is sought.
