EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules

WHAT IT IS

An intensive skin hydration treatment, delivered in precise doses kept fresh until use in forty capsules per jar.

WHAT IT IS GOOD FOR

Mix the contents of one capsule with your moisturizer for an emergency skin rescue after sunburn, wind, cold, and chill. Or, apply one capsule of contents directly to the face and throat for a dry skin beauty emergency.  A go-to staple for general skin moisture maintenance for the chronically dry-skinned.

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules

WHAT WE LOVE

This non-greasy formulation works as both an immediate skin-rescue product and functions as a pre-emptive treatment to keep chronically dry skin supple. It works applied directly or mixed into our favorite moisturizer.

I love being able to use a capsule whenever I want to look instantly smoother and need a non-greasy boost of hydration.

Potent Cosmeceutical Skincare

Don’t underestimate these capsules because of their pretty packaging: this is pure Cosmeceutical Skincare

THE EXPERIENCE

Twist off the top of the capsule “head” and squeeze the contents into a dose of moisturizer or apply the contents directly to the face and throat.

Capsule contents. One capsule was enough for face, throat, lips and a bit extra for hands.

Capsule contents. One capsule was enough for face, throat, lips and a just bit extra for hands.

CONSISTENCY & APPLICATION

Since it contains rich oils, I thought the application might be messy.

The capsule contents are thicker than oil, something of a liquidy honey consistency. So I expected it to be too stiff to spread easily on the skin. It smoothly and immediately sank into my skin. And the finish was not at all oily or sticky even when applied directly.

Massaging it into the face and throat feels relaxing and spa-like. It tackles everything from chronically dry lips to eleven lines or undereye dryness.

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion capsule form makes this rich treatment portable for beauty emergencies.

Capsules are portable for travel or on-the-go skin replenishing.

Capsules are portable for travel or on-the-go skin replenishing.

Each EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsule holds just the right dose to treat face and throat.  A highly effective “skin reset button” on overzealous Retin-A, aHA, or other topical actives use.

Each EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsule holds just the right dose to treat face and throat.

Let’s take a look at the impressive ingredient profile:

Active Ingredients

Avocado Oil Ingredient featured on StyleChicks.com

Avocado Oil

Avocado

Avocado Oil hydrates like natural skin sebum and improves skin elasticity. It contains Chlorophyll, an antioxidant that protects from premature aging.  Rich in fatty acids Omega 3 and 6, it strengthens the skin lipid barrier. Vitamins C, D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes wound healing and collagen production [1] without clogging pores.  Avocado oil also contains oleic acid, a fatty acid that reduces inflammation and redness while fighting wrinkles.

Unlike other fatty oils that stay on the skin surface, Avocado absorbs into the skin for better hydration potential.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)

Tocopheryl Acetate is Vitamin E. E makes damaged skin soft and pliable again while reducing wrinkle formation.

Ceramide-3

Ceramides are fatty acids that hold cells together to protect the epidermis. Ceramides create a wonderful protective barrier layer. They hold in moisture and plump the skin. Natural ceramides deplete with age. Even younger skin loses ceramides when using harsh cleansers or drying skincare products.

This formula uses an important ceramide, Trihydroxypalmitamidohydroxypropyl Myristyl Ether, AKA Ceramide 3. Ceramide 3 keeps skin hydrated without being greasy. Ceramide 3 is often used as a moisturizing ingredient. This enhances the smooth product finish while repairing the skin barrier.

Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate)

An antioxidant found naturally in our skin. Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) is a natural form of Vitamin A that helps with wrinkles and fine lines. It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper. It promotes cell regeneration.

Also

Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil

Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil is Sunflower Seed Oil. Sunflower Seed Oil retains moisture in the skin and functions as a lipid buffer against drying ingredients or topical medicines [2]. Linoleic acid gives sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties. Sunflower Oil is non-comedogenic and can safely moisturize acne-prone areas. It soothes eczema, scarring, redness, and irritation.

A helpful anti-aging ingredient because it contains antioxidants Vitamins A, C and E. As a result, the wrinkles and fine lines are diminished and the skin gets a youthful and radiant complexion. Other nutrients found include elastin producing Copper plus Palmitic acid, Omega-6 fatty acids, Iron, Calcium and Zinc.

It extendedly smoothes and hydrates.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients with no reported toxicity, it is safe enough to be food grade. Capric Triglyceride naturally occurs in palm kernel or coconut oil. It is a mixed ester composed of caprylic and capric fatty acids attached to glycerin. Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a natural skin replenishing emollient that creates a barrier on the skin’s surface, which helps to reduce skin dryness by decreasing the loss of moisture. [3] It can make greasy ingredients leave a non-greasy finish. A gentle ingredient.

Caprylic/capric triglyceride creates a barrier on the skin’s surface to reduce moisture loss and address dryness.

 

EmerginC Hydra-Repair Intensive Topical Infusion Capsules are filled with excellent hydrating and repairing ingredients with no junky fillers or unnecessary additives.

OUR SIGI SKIN EXPERIENCE

I first used it one morning, as I mentally was going through my to-do list and generally distracted. I had patch-tested it for reactions a few days prior, so I knew it had a nice jelly-like texture and subtle Eucalyptus scent.

But then as I applied it to my face and started massaging it in, my mental to-do list melted away as I realized that the texture and sensation of this face wash was a world of difference from my standard cleansers, all of which I considered pretty great.

I literally said “OH WOW!” out loud.

So…continuing the recommended 120 seconds of face washing felt like a glorious but fleeting spa treatment. I delighted in making small, gentle circles around my face with my fingertips

Another surprise came when I washed it off: despite the medium-jelly consistency, it washed off clean and without any scrubbing. My face was truly clean: no vestiges of last night’s skincare routine.

And for as gentle as the cleanser is, it had taken off a mild layer of dead skin that was leaving my skin a little dull. My face had a healthy glow, which is a great way to start a morning!

As I went about my morning routine, I noticed something interesting, even though my skin felt truly and deeply clean, it wasn’t at all tight feeling. That is usually the trade-off: there are a lot of good cleansers that give you a deep clean feeling, but also strip your skin of moisture and leave it feeling tight. Not so with Sigi Skin Kaleanser Face Wash. My skin was moisturized and so, so soft.

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

· 6 Comments

Niacinamide offers something to everyone. It fades discoloration. Niacinamide reduces acne, large pores, and fine lines. Niacinamide helps the skin generate ceramides, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Young or old, male or female, who doesn’t want healthier, brighter skin? So we were excited to try Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Serum. It is a 5% niacinamide in a vegan, organic formulation which makes this great active even better.
Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Face Serum

What It Is

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide Serum is a small batch, high-quality vegan-friendly serum. It is made with organic ingredients at an FDA certified facility.

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum

what is Niacinamide?

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is a water-soluble vitamin. The topical application of Niacinamide improves enlarged pores, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface. [1,2] It boosts hydration, fades hyperpigmentation and helps skin retain firmness. [3]

Niacinamide is great for sensitive skin that is unable to tolerate retinol.[4] Niacinamide is relatively nonirritating compared to other acne treatments. [5]

Niacinamide Research

Research shows Niacinamide has many benefits. Studies show that Niacinamide can:

  • Fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration naturally and gently. [6]  One study showed Niacinamide was less effective than hydroquinone. But in about two months, it did almost as good a job fading dark spots but without the side effects of hydroquinone. [7]
  • Provide pollution skincare. Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier [8]
  • Reduce the inflammation of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions [9]
  • Treat acne. In a double-blind clinical trial of inflammatory acne, 4% niacinamide worked as good as an antibiotic. [10]
  • Regulate sebum production [11]
  • Make ceramides [12]
  • Hold skin cancer prevention properties:
“Niacinamide … prevents ultraviolet radiation (UV) from reducing ATP levels and inhibiting glycolysis, thus preventing the UV radiation‐induced energy crisis. This enhances DNA repair and reduces UV‐induced suppression of immunity” [13]

What Makes this formulation special?

While gentler than many actives, some people experience irritation with Niacinamide. This formulation contains buffers like Organic Sunflower Seed Oil and Organic Aloe Vera that nourish the skin.

Importantly it combines Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid which works synergistically.

The Skin Daily Skin Care Solutions Niacinamide 5% Face Serum organic ingredient list includes hyaluronic acid

Why Hyaluronic + Niacinamide = ❤️

A feature of this Skin Daily formulation is the pairing of Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.

Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin, but it depletes as we age. Topical Hyaluronic Acid application replaces levels in the skin, giving a youthful glow.

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

This Skin Daily formulation pairs Niacinamide with Hyaluronic Acid

Niacinamide makes hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is like a friend with VIP access; it uses its’ moisture pulling ability to draw active ingredients, like Niacinamide into deeper skin layers. The deeper Niacinamide can work, the better the overall skin appearance.

This means Hyaluronic helps Niacinamide make MORE hyaluronic in the lower layers of the skin.

It is imperative to use a moisturizer over Hyaluronic Acid, as it draws as much moisture as possible into the skin. If Hyaluronic Acid can’t get enough moisture, the surface of the skin can appear DRY, because the Hyaluronic is still “thirsty.” Fortunately, Skin Daily is packed with moisturizers.

This is a superior formulation with skin-friendly, natural, Niacinamide supporting ingredients. Let’s take a closer look:

 

 Ingredients

Organic ingredients

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe vera nourishes delicate eye skin

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice comes from the Aloe Vera plant.  Aloe Vera provides nourishment to the skin as it contains Vitamins A, C, Bs, and E as well as minerals and enzymes. This skin “food” heals, hydrates, and accelerates skin cell growth to treat acne and fight skin aging.  It provides anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It soothes irritation.

 

NIACINAMIDE

A natural skin brightener that reduces hyperpigmentation and fine lines with strengthening Strengthens skin barrier, brightens, improving fine lines, and reduction in hyper-pigmentation.

 

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid gets “beauty secret weapon” status due to its’ ability to hold enormous amounts of moisture; it can draw moisture from the air, sucking it into the skin. This moisture drawing ability has a dual benefit. Not only does it make skin as plump and dewy as possible, creating an environment where the skin contains as much hydration as it can hold, but it uses this water drawing ability to pull active ingredients, like Niacinamide, deeper into the skin.

 

Style Chicks Glossary of Skin and Hair Terms. glossary definition on StyleChicks.com

Avocado

Avocado Fruit Oil

Avocado oil benefits the hair, scalp and skin. Avocado oil massaged into the scalp prompts blood flow to hair follicles. Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves texture of skin. Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C,D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[14]

Sunflower

organic Sunflower Seed Oil

Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base. It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.

Linoleic acid gIves sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory properties. Its other components include oleic acid and palmitic acid, lecithin, carotenoids, tocopherols, and numerous vitamins. It is a natural treatment for atopic dermatitis. [15]

 

Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil

Neem Seed Oil heals sun damage and restores moisture.  It deeply penetrates the skin to enhance elasticity, smooth wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production.

glycerin

Glycerin is a natural, non-toxic, vegan-friendly humectant and hydrates. It helps skin attract and maintain moisture.

 



Rosemary

Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract

Rosemary Extract combats dry skin. It naturally protects the skin from sun damage and free radicals. It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes.

Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E prevents the signs of premature aging by softening skin texture.  Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

my experience

Apply a pea-sized amount to the face. Wait five minutes and apply moisturizer.

It doesn’t sting or leave skin red. There is no sticky or chalky dry-down. Makeup and sunscreen go over the serum without pilling. Leaves skin with a nice, even tone. Skin quickly looks brighter with daily use.

Just a pea-sized dot for face and throat

Women’s Rush Relief Joint Health Formula by Dr. Benjamin Rush

· 6 Comments

Inflammation is an enemy. It is a component of several health issues and discomfort. Many factors cause excess inflammation in women. Research shows specific ingredients reduce inflammation. Women’s Rush Relief is a formulation of effective, natural anti-inflammatories. Its designed to stop the damaging impact of inflammation and relieve pain.

Many chronic health issues and acute injuries have a common factor: inflammation exists. Inflammation can damage and deteriorate the body, weaken cartilage, impair productivity and function as well as cause discomfort. But inflammation can be greatly reduced.

The Ginger in this formulation benefits menstrual discomfort and other inflammatory responses

The formulation contains Ginger and other anti-inflammatories to naturally reduce inflammation and pain.

Who Benefits from Women’s Rush Relief?

This Joint Health Formula is designed for women who have joint pain. But these ingredients also benefit a host of other health issues that have an inflammatory response.

Injury, Illness & Aging

If you’ve experienced an injury, especially to a joint, there’s typically inflammatory discomfort. Anti-inflammatories reduce the inflammation response and associated pain and allow healing and restore better function.

Even without injury or illness, several factors increase inflammation over time for women including age, weight, hormones, menstrual discomfort and metabolism.[1]

If back or knee pain is limiting your function or activity level, you’re not alone. Dr. Rush’s Formula is designed for women who need support to sustain optimal function.

migraine headaches

Many women experience hormonal migraines or headaches. The inflammatory component of headaches and migraines is painful and severely debilitating. But the right combinations and dosages of specific natural anti-inflammatories can relieve migraine pain.

Research shows turmeric as effective as one prescription migraine medication (beta-blocker class). It curtailed the inflammation response in 2 out of 3 migraine stages. [2] Women’s Rush Relief contains turmeric and several other supporting anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Post Workout Recovery

Are you sore a day or two AFTER a workout? This is called Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This includes the soreness after a strenuous “leg day”, pilates, barre, and yoga. Ease the pain of inflammation naturally. Faster recuperation means less discomfort and less down-time between workouts.

Two soft capsules daily reduces inflammation and optimizes function

Two soft capsules daily reduce inflammation and optimize function

Skin

Here is a lovely bonus. These ingredients also address skin inflammation and therefore offer anti-aging skin benefits. Removing skin inflammation keeps skin younger and fresher with less sagging, dullness, and fewer wrinkles. Don’t age before your time – stop inflammation in its’ tracks!

Turmeric for headaches

Turmeric helps ease headaches

Getting Your Daily Anti-Inflammatory Dose

A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods is a wonderful first step to feeling better. But the most effective anti-inflammatories are often lacking or completely missing from our dietary intake. Women’s Rush Relief contains effective, research-backed, natural anti-inflammatories.

Let’s examine this formulation’s contents and see independent supporting research behind the efficacy of each ingredient.

INGREDIENTS

It increases type II collagen and proteoglycan synthesis while reducing pro-inflammatory factors. It improves the anabolic/catabolic balance of the extracellular cartilage matrix (ECM). [3]

Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin stimulates healthy cartilage and aids in post-workout recovery. It is paired with Glucosamine to support injured or aging joints. Clinical trials report chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate offer pain control and increased function. [4]

Ginger Extract

Ginger root 

Ginger root is available fresh or in ground powder form. Ginger reduces inflammation. Studies show two components of ginger, gingerol and zingerone reduce the inflammation to a number of common diseases and ailments. Ginger eases menstrual pain.

Do you experience soreness after a good workout? Studies show daily ginger consumption resulted in moderate-to-large reductions in muscle pain following exercise-induced muscle injury. Ginger is also an effective pain reliever in osteoarthritis patients. [6]

Boswellia Extract

Boswellia is an herbal extract from the Boswellia serrata tree. It has long been used in folk medicine. It’s believed to treat chronic inflammatory illnesses and certain health conditions because it demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory actions. It even demonstrates certain anti-cancer activities. [7]

A research study showed Boswellia helps osteoarthritis. In the said study, OA knee pain decreased after 90 days use of the Boswellia product. It also reduced the levels of a cartilage-degrading enzyme. [8]

MSM

MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane. MSM is a natural sulfur found in some plants, nuts and cruciferous vegetables. It supports healthy tissue development including skin, joint, and lumbar tissue. Some studies show MSM reduces breast cancer inflammation. [9] Another study of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee took MSM for 12 weeks and showed an improvement in pain and physical function. [10]

Bioperine

Bioperine is another name for piperine. Piperine is a compound that comes from black pepper. It increases absorption.  Its role in this formulation is Turmeric support. The Curcumin in Turmeric is poorly absorbed when taken alone. Bioperine boosts absorption up to 2000%. [11] Bioperine is key to maximum turmeric benefit.

Black peppercorns contain piperine AKA Bioperine, which naturally enhances absorption for maximum benefit

Quercetin

Quercetin is a polyphenolic antioxidant or flavonoid antioxidant [12] found in plant foods, including leafy greens, tomatoes, berries, broccoli. red wine, green tea, and kale. [13] It is an exceptionally powerful antioxidant to fight oxidative damage and free radicals. [13, 14]

Methionine

Methionine is an amino acid involved in body functions such as the synthesis of important vitamins like Vitamin B12. Methionine is naturally found in spinach, zucchini, meat, fish, mushrooms, and asparagus.

Bromelain is found in the pineapple core

Bromelain

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme extracted from the flesh and stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain reduces inflammation and swelling by breaking down the inflammation-causing molecules within the body. [15] It promotes wound healing, easing digestion, reducing muscular or joint pain, skin injuries and reduces allergies or asthma. [16]

Our Experience

We find this formulation particularly helpful with post-workout soreness. Instead of taking Advil after regular workouts, we find this formulation a particularly helpful and safe remedy to DOMS.

Women’s Rush Relief is an easy way to get daily Turmeric benefits without the fuss of powders or smoothie preparations.

It is easy to use. We try to regularly incorporate ginger and turmeric into smoothies. But even when fresh turmeric is available, it is time-consuming to grate it. Women’s Rush Relief gives all the benefits without the work.

Headaches are painful and disruptive. This formula reduces the frequency, duration, and intensity of hormonally influenced headaches. Most prescription migraine medications have undesirable side effects. Finding a natural remedy that is as effective as some prescription migraine medicines is an exciting find for headache sufferers.

I am also pleased to reduce my Advil or ibuprofen intake in favor of an equally effective natural treatment for general aches and pains.

Aside from feeling generally better and gaining a faster recuperation from my post-workout soreness, my skin has a lovely glow!

Research shows the combination of bromelain, turmeric, and quercetin work synergistically for maximum efficacy & optimal results

A Supplement to Function Optimally

Why live with discomfort? Don’t let an old injury, a headache or other health problems keep you from being as active as possible. Natural anti-inflammatories are a safe way to cope with a range of issues without the side effect profile of over-the-counter NSAIDS or prescription medications.
