JES Organics Purifying Cleanser contains a unique blend of advanced skin nutrients, antioxidants and activated charcoal to deeply cleanse and remove bacteria from your skin without stripping the normal skin barrier. It contains both a crème-based cleanser and surfactants. The Purifying cleanser is best suited for blemished, oily, combination and normal skin types. PARABEN, SULFATE & FRAGRANCE FREE.
The cooperation of the hydrophilic and lipophilic molecules allows the cleanser to break past the surface tension of the skin and remove the dirt and oils beyond your skin surface. The hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water, which helps the water dampen the skin surface deeper and more thoroughly than normal. Without the dampening assistance of the hydrophilic molecules, the product would simply bead up on the skin. The lipophilic molecules act like a magnet to dirt in the skin; once the molecules encounter the dirt, they cling to it and allow it to be washed off. Likewise, lipophilic molecules show affinity toward oil, which is washed away in the same fashion.
Testimonials:
I really like the new cleanser. It feels great on my skin!" Federico, CA
Aloe Vera
We use Organic Aloe Vera Juice as our first ingredient instead of water. Often called “The Miracle Plant”, promotes new skin growth, moisturizes, protects and counters the effects of aging, soothing, emollient, anti-bacterial, heals skin irritations, burns and wounds. Aloe Vera improves hydration and is soothing and healing to all skin types. The effectiveness of Aloe Vera gel as a cosmetic skin care and pharmaceutical product is indisputable. It has also been shown to have an invigorating effect on skin when applied on a regular basis. Chemical analysis has shown the presence of mucopolysacharides, a natural moisturizing factor. Aloe Vera is composed of water, the enzymes catalase and cellulose, minerals, calcium, aluminum, iron, zinc, magnesium, sodium, 20 amino acids and carbohydrates. Aloe Vera also contains the "youth mineral" potassium.
Charcoal
Penetrates the skin to clean the lower dermal layer, helps to draw out deep pore-clogging impurities that lead to dull, tired-looking, and not to mention acne-prone skin. Produces cleaner and smaller looking pores.
Cocamidopropyl Betaine
is a long chain surfactant derived from coconut oil. Mild and gentle surfactant used for its foaming ability. Leaves skin soft and smooth.
Decyl Glucoside
One of the first of the natural sourced polyglucosides. The polyglucosides are made from a reaction between vegetable oil and sugar. Used as a surfactant for cleansing.
DMAE
An intriguing finding in some DMAE studies was that it reduced the accumulation of lipofuscin deposits inside cells. Lipofuscin deposits are cellular pigment consisting of aggregated chucks of molecular waste. It has been demonstrated that DMAE causes some degree of skin and pore tightening. However, it remains unclear how DMAE firms the skin -- whether by stabilizing the membranes, boosting acetylcholine, reducing lipofuscin deposits or none of the above. Whatever the mechanism, the effect of DMAE is often noticeable although seldom dramatic. Besides, even though DMAE can't fully reverse the existing facial sag, it may reduce its further progression. People report a cumulative effect with continued use of DMAE. Naturally occurring substance that facilitates the synthesis of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a compound released from the ends of nerve fibers and it is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. DMAE also may stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is an essential fatty acid that improves and protects cell membranes damaged by free-radicals and improves blood flow and circulation.
Glycerin, Kosher Vegetable
Glycerin is a soothing, humectant which draws moisture from the air to the skin. Glycerin is an emollient, which makes the skin feel softer and smoother, reduce rough feeling, cracking and irritation. Nontoxic, nonirritating and non allergenic.
Green Tea Extract
Green tea is well known for its antioxidant properties, which prevents the degradation of cell membranes by neutralizing the spread of free radicals. Green tea has 20 times the antioxidant properties of Vitamin E, 6 times the antioxidant effectiveness of black tea. Green tea suppresses inflammation and reduces irritation. Scientists at the University Hospitals of Cleveland (UHC) and Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) found that ingredients in green tea decreased the direct effects of sunburn.
Hyaluronic Acid
One of the most exciting ingredients on the market today. 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 from rooster combs and the other by fermentation in the lab. JES Organics only carries the vegan approved lab created version. 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 cuticular 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 ml of water per gram of hyaluronic acid, 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.
Jojoba Oil
Wonderful natural moisturizer similar to human sebum so it is accepted very well by the skin. It aids in the healing process.
Lichen Extract
has long been used for its antimicrobial properties and used in cosmetic preserving systems.
MSM
The skin is the body's largest organ. The structure of the skin is held together by collagen. MSM helps to replenish and repair damaged skin and wound healing.
Olive Oil (Organic)
Great skin moisturizer, contains linoleic acid which prevents water from evaporating. According to Leslie Baumann, M.D., author of The Skin Type Solution, olive oil can promote healthy skin and also contains at least four different antioxidants, which can help "neutralize damaging free radicals that can lead to skin aging and skin cancer."
Rooibos tea extract
Recommended for wide range of ailments including skin problems such as eczema, diaper rash and acne because applied topically it has a soothing effect on the skin. Rooibos tea is low in tannins, high in minerals such as calcium and fluoride. The most important aspects of Rooibos are its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Recently, Japanese scientists found that Rooibos tea contains a mimic of the enzyme Super Oxide Dismutase (S.O.D.), an antioxidant which attacks the free radicals and limits their damaging effects.
Vitamin B5
improves the moisture-retention capacity of the skin and stimulates skin regeneration. Dry skin stays supple and elastic for longer. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect.
Vitamin C Ester
Used as a preservative and antioxidant to prevent rancidity. Vitamin C is thought to prevent collagen break down and help combat the signs of aging. As an antioxidant it is believed to remove the free radicals that cells produce. Free radicals have been associated with skin cancer and premature skin aging due to sun exposure. Some experts believe antioxidants are the most vital weapons in the fight against aging. Most of the damage of our skin is caused by a free-radical assault from smoke, pollution and UV rays. Free radicals then turn the oils of our skin rancid, which damages the collagen. Collagen is the protein fibers that serve as the building blocks of our skin. Antioxidants are used in skin care products to neutralize free radicals before they ravage the skin. Topical vitamin C may help lighten solar lentigos and melasma. Some studies have shown that topical vitamin C provides additional protection against the harmful effects of the sun. Said to prevent collagen breakdown, which would aid in combating aging. Duke University found that adding Vitamin C and E to sunscreens protects against UVB radiation.
Vitamin E
Natural skin protector, natural emollient, helps keep skin smooth and soft, improves skin moisture by offsetting dryness caused by aging and environmental factors. Acts as a free radical scavenger, hinders the oxidizing process in the skin and promotes soft and supple skin. As an antioxidant it defends the skin. Helpful in reducing scars and promotes healing. It acts as a natural preservative for products.
White Tea Extract
Organic White Tea, contain four principal constituents: vitamins, essential oils, polyphenols and caffeine contains antioxidant (anti-aging) vitamins C, A, B, K and traces of minerals like potassium & calcium. Free radicals from staying out in the sun too long, stress, and a poor diet can damage the skin and cause it to prematurely age. By scavenging these free radicals, white tea protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage.
Willowbark
Anti-inflammatory, Black Willowbark has antiseptic, astringent properties and has been shown to possess potent anti-microbial properties. Willow bark extract has several benefits in skin care but can help to stimulate the skin and cell growth and also has excellent astringent qualities.
