Growing old is inevitable, but staying healthy and maintaining your youthful look is not an impossible dream. The Essence of Time combines cactus fruit and rose, some of nature’s most unique and precious ingredients. These vital ingredients provide the human body with phytochemicals and antioxidants to help improve skin condition for a more radiant and healthy glow.

The cactus plant has to grow for four years before its fruit is mature for harvesting. Studies have shown that the amazing benefits of cactus fruit extract include speeding up wound healing, softening the skin, preventing moisture loss and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Cactus fruit is rich in antioxidants, riboflavin and thiamine (vitamin B1), nutrients that help moisturize and protect the skin. In addition, cactus fruit extract can also boost cell proliferation and regeneration of normal human fibroblasts. This is beneficial to the healing of the body’s internal and skin injuries.

Like cactus fruit, rose also contains essential nutrients that nourish the skin. In fact, its cherry-like fruits contain 50 times more vitamin C than lemons. Studies have revealed that a high intake of natural vitamin C can enhance the production of collagen and possibly reduce wrinkles. In addition, studies also show that the phytochemicals present in rose play an important part in the normal functioning and regulation of the body’s natural defense system. Rose has long been used to enhance gastrointestinal function, boost female reproductive health and improve circulation.
