The difference between our products and other products on the market.

• Many skin care products on the market today contain harsh chemicals. All of Perrin’s Products antioxidant skin nutrition-blends are 100% pure and natural.
   
• Many skin products are petroleum and/or mineral oil based. Perrin Products uses beeswax, cocoa butter and healthy oils.
   
• Many skin products contain man-made perfumes and artificial dyes.  Perrin’s Products uses none of these -- color comes from grapeseed extract, and/or beta carotene; fragrance is derived from natural aromatic oils such as peppermint, lemon, lavender or rosemary oils.
   
• Many skin products, such as popular lotions, contain large amounts of water (sometimes as much as 90%).  Perrin’s Products puts no water in their skin blends.  Instead, for hydration Perrin’s Products uses nutritional items like honey, pure aloe vera and vegetable glycerin.  (Why use water?  You can get water for your skin from a faucet!) 
   
• Many skin products contain alcohol and/or chemical preservatives.  Perrin’s Products skin preservatives are natural Vitamin E and pure honey.
   
• Many skin products use emulsifying agents with strange names that only a chemist can identify.  Ingredients in Perrin’s Products skin blends are readily identifiable substances.

We, at Perrin’s Products, put nothing in our formulations
that we feel would harm the outer skin or inner body.

So what do we use in our Soothing Salve?

Antioxidants:    

• N-Acetyl Cysteine (or NAC)- NAC is a sulfur containing amino acid that is needed to produce the free radical fighter glutathione and maintain it at adequate levels in cells.  It helps to detoxify the body of chemicals and other poisons and slows the aging process.  Studies have shown that NAC can play a role in the reduction of cancer cells.
   
• Alpha Lipoic Acid - Alpha lipoic acid has shown time and again in clinical trials to be successful for protecting cells from free-radical damage.  Free radicals are unstable molecules caused from normal situations like metabolism to unhealthy activities like smoking, and are a major culprit of wrinkling and the loss of firmness associated with normal aging.  Studies also suggest alpha lipoic acid may benefit skin cells and therefore improve skin texture and wrinkles.

Vitamins:

• E -- Vitamin E is an antioxidant that research has shown to have a variety of benefits for the skin.  Studies have shown vitamin E may help decrease the effects if psoriasis and erythema, in the reduction of stretch marks, in the reduction of scarring from wounds, and it may help to reduce the risk of skin cancer.  A study from Duke University concluded that "Appreciable photoprotection can be obtained from the combination of topical vitamins C and E. We suggest that these natural products may protect against skin cancer and photoaging".
   
• A -- The body uses vitamin A for maintenance of healthy skin, good vision and a robust immune system.  It is also a free radical fighting antioxidant and therefore is anti-aging.
   
• D -- Vitamin D can help control the proliferation of skin cells that lead to psoriatic lesions.  Vitamin D deficiency may lead to skin malignancies (skin cancer).  Topically applied Vitamin D may reduce DNA damage in skin that leads to skin cancer.
   
• C -- Vitamin C is one of the most common antioxidants.  It recharges other antioxidants like vitamin E.  It helps prevent premature aging and is is required for the synthesis of collagen in the skin.  Collagen can be seen as the foundation of healthy and young looking skin.  Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in humans making up about 25% of the total protein content.  A study from Duke University concluded that "Appreciable photoprotection can be obtained from the combination of topical vitamins C and E. We suggest that these natural products may protect against skin cancer and photoaging".
   
• Biotin-- Biotin is a B vitamin that is needed for healthy skin and hair.

Oils:

• Grapeseed oil -- Light, odorless oil, derived from the seeds of Italian grapes with mild astringent properties that prevent it from clogging pores.  It gives a silky feel to the skin that can soothe away dryness and irritation.
   
• Castor oil -- A pure, natural emollient that softens and nourishes skin, gives relief to join and muscle pain, and is therapeutic in massages.
   
• Sweet Almond -- An easily absorbed, natural vegetable derived extract dating back to Biblical times that promotes healthy skin.  It moisturizes and nourishes skin without clogging pores.
   
• Extra virgin olive oil -- Extra Virgin Olive Oil is rich in polyphenol antioxidants and therefore protects the skin from harmful and damaging free radicals.  Since ancient times, Mediterranean people have used olive oil to hydrate, regenerate and soften their skin.  Olive is extremely high is oleic acid.  Research has suggested that oleic acid may help to prevent against cancer.   
   
• Soy oil -- Soy oil is a natural source of lecithin, sterolins, and vitamin E.  
    
• Safflower oil -- Safflower oil is a deeply soothing highly moisturizing oil with an exceptionally high amount of oleic acid.

• Lavender oil--Human clinical studies have reported that lavender essential oil may be beneficial in a variety of conditions, including insomnia, alopecia (hair loss), anxiety, stress, and postoperative pain.  It may also have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Because of its aroma, lavender oil many times is used massage therapy, acupuncture, and chiropractic manipulation.

• Rosemary oil -- Rosemary has been used since ancient times for a varitiy of purposes.  Rosemary oil has been used to relieve headaches, muscle pains, sore muscles, rheumatism and even arthritis.  Rosemary is also used in many aromatic therapies. 

• Peppermint oil -- Peppermint is a natural source of menthol.  Studies have shown that topical application of peppermint stimulates the nerves that detect cold, leading to the cooling sensation. The nerves that perceive pain and itching are depressed.  This leads to the dialation of the blood vessels, which can promote healing.

• Lemon oil -- Lemon oil is used in natural skin care to cleanse, tone and refresh skin.  Lemon oil tightens puffy skin, reduces enlarged pores and helps disperse pockets of accumulated fluid and impurities.

• Beeswax --  We use beeswax instead of petroleum because it contains “wax esthers” that also exist in human skin.  It is a natural hydrating agent that increases essential moisture in the skin.  Beeswax has a very low irritation potential and promotes healing and softening of skin and is an antiseptic.

Liquids: 

• Vegetable glycerin -- Vegetable glycerin is a skin-friendly humectant that attracts water into the skin as well as a binding agent that occurs naturally in vegetables.  It is anti-bacterial and works to make the skin supple while fighting dryness and scaling.
