CoQ10: fat-soluble substance present in all human cells. It is responsible for cell protection and production of the body’s energy. A handful of studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may have an effect on skin and the appearance of wrinkles, most notably by reducing UV damage, stimulating healthy collagen production, and reducing sub-stances in damaged skin that wreak havoc on its support structure. The latest research suggests that topical application of CoQ10 has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.  

Red Raspberry Seed Oil: The oil works by creating a lipid barrier that stops skin from losing natural moisture. Retaining moisture helps to keep skin cells looking young and full. Raspberry oil adds hydration, sun protection and nourishing vitamins.

Kalahari Melon Oil: Kalahari melon seed oil is super-rich in linolenic acid; which makes up between 50% and 70% of its entire content. Used on the face, it gets to work unclogging pores and removing excess sebum from the surface of your skin. It makes skin look firmer and the appearance of wrinkles are often reduced. Packed full of antioxidants, and Vitamins A, C and E, it has a hydrating and tightening effect when applied.  It reduces inflammation caused by conditions like acne, as the combination of skin-friendly vitamins have a soothing effect. Kalahari melon seed oil is extremely light and easily absorbed by the skin. The oil can be effective at helping to repair skin damage and scars. Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids aren’t created naturally within the body – so they must be added for their benefit to be realized. These stimulate skin cell growth, prompting regeneration and giving skin a much plumper, fresher appearance.

Camellia Seed Oil: Camellia oil is high in antioxidants and the fat-soluble vitamins A, E and D. It is perfect for dry, ageing, sun damaged or sensitive skins and is gentle enough to be used in baby products.

Daikon Seed Extract: Daikon Seed Extract possesses a very rare blend of C20, C18, and C22 Fatty Acids, which is a driving force behind the oil's hydrating and rejuvenating qualities. Radish Seed Oil is a natural emollient, proving it is equally beneficial for the hair as it is for the skin. The main chemical constituents of Radish Seed Carrier Oil include Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Folic Acid, Zinc, Palmitic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Gadoleic Acid, Stearic Acid, and Erucic Acid.

Prickly Pear Fruit Oil:  This carrier oil is high in Omega 6 fatty acids which work on dry skin and help to hydrate and restore moisture. It works on the skin by helping to increase its ability to absorb oils and serum. The fatty acids contained in the oil help to replenish collagen which is an important part of maintaining skin's elasticity. The vitamins E and K in the oil work well on skin that looks tired and dull. These nutrients work on the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, improving the quality of the skin and making it smooth and fresh, without being sticky or greasy. The polyphenols which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help alleviate damage from the harsh sun. The main constituents of the prickly pear carrier oil are linoleic acid, oleic acid, naturally occurring carotenoids, Omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin C, and flavonoids.

Açaí Oil: Açaí oil is a stunning green lipid that helps maintain optimal skin balance with its impressive antioxidant content and emollient properties. This oil can effectively restore skin elasticity, minimize the appearance of wrinkles and scarring, protect from oxidative stress, visibly even skin tone, mitigate visible signs of inflammatory conditions like acne, and effectively soothe dry, cracked skin. Açaí is packed with fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, anthocyanins, and polyphenols. Recently, research has shown promise for acaí oil as an inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis (tyrosinase inhibitor). It’s shown effectiveness being used on the treatment of melasma and age spots.

Sea Buckthorn CO2: Sea buckthorn oil contains several compounds that can be beneficial to human health. These include fatty acids, including gamma linolenic acid (omega-6) and palmitoleic acid (omega-7)vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin E and antioxidants, such as flavonoids and polyphenols. According to a 2021 review of previous studies, sea buckthorn oil possesses several medicinal properties too. It is antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory.

Black Currant Seed Oil:  Black Currant Seed Oil is packed with rich amounts of fatty acids, Vitamin C and polyphenol phytochemicals, which makes black currant oil a desirable ingredient for skin care. The oil is mainly comprised of essential fatty acids (e.g. γ linolenic acid, linoleic, and linolenic acids). Given its overall lipid content, black currant oil is well-tolerated in oil-based emulsions and proves effective in penetrating the skin’s surface. Subsequently, black currant oil constituents demonstrate their ability to integrate amongst the skin’s membrane barrier, which results in improved water-retention and an overall increase in skin hydration. Secondly, as a source of Vitamin C and phytochemicals, black currant oil contributes antioxidant protection that helps to protect the skin from harmful free radicals present in the environment.

Baobab Oil: Baobab Oil is packed with nutrients and minerals providing a wide range of skin care benefits. It nourishes the epidermis of the skin, the outermost layer of the skin that provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. This has the effect of softening the skin and giving it greater elasticity. It is used as an effective treatment for stretch marks helping to reduce their appearance. It can also help with a range of skin disorders including eczema, sunspots and psoriasis.

Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil has the same molecular structure as the natural wax esters in our skin.  As we age the wax ester content in our skin begins to diminish resulting in dry skin and eventually fine lines. Jojoba is the only known plant source of wax esters that can replenish these lost esters, as our skin recognizes jojoba as its own and allows this golden liquid to penetrate deeper into the skin, where it is able to nourish and regenerate skin cells. Jojoba contains vitamins A, D and E and omegas 6 and 9.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant that’s beneficial in reducing UV damage to skin, softens skin and helps the skin retain moisture

24k Gold: Gold particles have been shown to have antioxidant properties, and therefore it can calm acne related and other skin inflammation, reduce skin redness and protect against free radicals that lead to wrinkles and sun damage.

Rose Water: Rose water is considered as a rich source of antioxidants, which can help strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissue and protect the cells in the skin against damage. Rose water also has anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can be put on the skin to soothe the irritation caused by conditions, such as eczema and rosacea.  Rose water acts as an inhibitor against elastase and collagenase, which are both harmful to the skin. This can help soothe the skin and reduce redness, as well as act as an anti-aging product by reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Hibiscus Extract: Hibiscus extract is good for softening skin as it works like an emollient, it a good antioxidant that firms and tones the skin. This powerful firming agent has a proven calming effect that instantly smooths wrinkles giving a person a youthful, healthy glow.  It also unclogs closed pores and is a good natural remedy for acne. 

Oat Extract: Oats are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and lipids. Oat extract helps to keep skin hydrated by forming an occlusive layer on the surface that retains water in the skin. It also imparts moisturizing, soothing, conditioning, and nourishing qualities, significantly improving skin dryness and roughness. Oat extract has antioxidant properties due to the presence of different types of phenols including ferulic and caffeic acids. It also contains flavonoids that are strong UVA screens.  Oat extract is suited for all skin types including sensitive and problem skin such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. In a study published on NIH, extracts of colloidal oatmeal were found to induce the expression of genes related to epidermal differentiation, tight junctions and lipid regulation in skin, and provide pH-buffering capacity. Colloidal oatmeal boosted the expression of multiple target genes related to skin barrier and resulted in recovery of barrier damage in an in vitro model of atopic dermatitis. In addition, an investigator-blinded study was performed with 50 healthy female subjects who exhibited bilateral moderate to severe dry skin on their lower legs. Subjects were treated with a colloidal oatmeal skin protectant lotion. Clinically, the colloidal oatmeal lotion showed significant clinical improvements in skin dryness, moisturization, and barrier. Taken together, these results demonstrate that colloidal oatmeal can provide clinically effective benefits for dry and compromised skin by strengthening skin barrier.

Green Tea Extract: Green Tea Extract is known to exhibit effects that help diminish the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. It is commonly used as a valuable ingredient in face washes, moisturizers, serums, and other skin care products that work to calm irritation, even out skin discoloration, protect the skin against UV radiation, diminish the appearance of cellulite, soothe redness and swelling, and repair damage. Products enriched with Green Tea Extracts are known to further support skin health by moisturizing, stimulating circulation, and regulating sebum production, thereby exhibiting a positive effect on the complexion’s overall tone, texture, strength, and resilience. It is especially beneficial for skin afflicted with the discomforts associated with acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and other conditions that are similarly characterized by dryness, itchiness, inflammation, and irritation. Its antimicrobial and astringent properties along with its ability to balance the skin’s oil production and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores make Green Tea Extract ideal for use in products that target acne breakouts. Its exfoliating property helps decrease the appearance and occurrence of blackheads while eliminating dead skin, dirt, bacteria, and other pollutants on the skin’s surface, thus promoting the skin’s rejuvenation and renewal.

Jasmine Absolute: Jasmine Absolute rejuvenating the skin and uplifts the senses. Some of the traditionally reputed benefits of Jasmine in folk medicine include thermogenic, antiseptic, emollient, aphrodisiac, relaxant, and tonic properties as well as extensive use in supporting reproductive health. While there is some scientific support from contemporary studies on the antiseptic value of Jasmine oil, the main benefit of this absolute now lies in its olfactory appeal.  Recently, Jasmine Absolute is known for its aromatherapeutic application as a dually arousing and calming scent, as well as a mood enhancer. In one formal study, inhaling Jasmine oil increased behavioral arousal and resulted in test subjects reporting more positive, energetic, and romantic feelings, while in another study, the scent of Jasmine oil helped to manage symptoms of anxiety, enacting a calming influence on mood. True to its fragrant versatility, context matters for leveraging the power of Jasmine!

Vegetable Glycerin: Vegetable Glycerin is a natural source of moisture and is also helping the skin retain moisture.

Becoming a professional manifestor with Spiritual Alchemy

Posted by Juliana Kuzminova on

We have all heard of the book “The Secret”, that uncovers the truth of our ability to manifest our wishes.  At frecklefarm organics, we have been applying the principles of “The Secret” and Spiritual Alchemy for over a decade, and we wanted to share our experience with the readers on how to become a professional manifestor and take control of your life using those principles.

Spiritual Alchemy is a process of purifying your soul to reach enlightenment, similarly to Alchemy using common metals, such as lead, to put them through a series of purifying processes until they become gold.    A journey that separates the physical from the spiritual only to reunite the two into fully harmonious whole as we come into full alignment with our highest self. The journey involved 7 processes described below.

Calcination

In Alchemy, calcination involves the element of fire and refers to heating a solid to high temperatures, for the purpose of removing impurities.  Spiritually, Calcination burns away the ego’s grip.  It may feel like everything we hold true is being endangered, as if someone pulled the rug right under our feet and we are free-falling through the abyss of the unknown, being torn to fragments, and then being burned to ashes.

Even though this may be painful, this process makes us realize that we have outgrown something that is no longer needed.  This stage allows us to break down our ego to see what is behind the veil.

The key is to surrender to this process, allowing the universe to unveil the lessons so that we allow it to burn away what is no longer serving our us.

Dissolution

Dissolution involves the element of water to support the process of releasing outgrown beliefs.  This stage of transformation is often brought about by hardships in our lives, shocking us out of our complacency.

The idea is to accept and express our emotions caused by trauma and painful events, while detaching from the experience, that triggered them in the past for them to get transmuted.

This is the beginning of spiritual maturity and spiritual awakening process.

Separation

The process of separation involves self-reflection to become aware of our authentic intuition hiding behind the ego.  During this process we feel disappointment and frustration with ourselves and/or others rather than ignoring the issue.

On the flipside, by being in tune with our intuition and our expression allows the Separation process to unfold.  The separation process deepens our understanding and appreciation of our emotions so that we can integrate our intuition into our daily life.

Conjunction

 The Conjunction relates to the heart and to the earth, where the spiritual meets the physical and the higher states of consciousness may be unified. 

There are fewer fears, and we start seeing our mistakes as necessary lessons for the awakening to occur at the right time. We begin to see the divine timing in everything and that everything happens for a reason.

Putrefaction

During this process we must again faces the ego’s attempt at dominance, however this time our experience is different.  We have a sense of higher force assessing us, that provides the support system needed to have better control over ourselves.

Putrefactions continues until we have “stewed in our own juices” enough to enter Fermentation.  

Fermentation

Just as Phoenix rises out of ashes, in Fermentation, a new wisdom may arise, based upon the breaking down of former beliefs.  We may suddenly become aware of why we act and feel a certain way, as old beliefs that no longer serve us fade away.

Distillation

During the process of Distillation, we realize that we are all interconnected.  We become more interested in the greater good of all, rather than in fulfilling our own ego.   

A distilled person surrenders to the higher forces and works with the moment of now to tune into their inner self.

Coagulation

As we transform from a caterpillar into a butterfly we embody self-aware, divine co-creators of our collective reality with a full understanding of the interconnection to all there is and that the inner and outer world are not different but a reflection of each other.  We become professional manifestors and co-creators of our own reality.

    Toxic Ingredients to Avoid in Conventional Skincare

    Posted by Juliana Kuzminova on

    Increasing amount of studies have shown that these chemicals included in most conventional skincare are found to be carcinogenic.  I share this with you in hopes to spread the message to the consumers so that corporate companies can take accountability for the products they produce.

    Many skincare brands include petroleum bi-product called MINERAL OIL, yes, it's a petroleum product that causes many skin conditions, including cancer.  

    Why Should I avoid Mineral Oil?

    Mineral oil is a colorless and odorless oil that’s made from petroleum. Our skin does not recognize this as a nutrient and it does not penetrate the skin. However it provides a coating that may feel smooth to the touch but it's actually harmful because it prevents our pores to breath and eliminate toxins from our body properly, causing breakouts on the skin and disease in the body.

    See other toxic  ingredients to be avoided below: 

    What do you think?

    TRUE BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN

    Posted by Juliana Kuzminova on

    here at frecklefarm organics we believe a healthy skin care routine is one part of six basics we follow to having radiant skin and life.

    • organic skin care is an important aspect of staying healthy and being beautiful.
      • skin is your biggest organ and has many functions:
        • it helps to regulate body temperature, bacterial colonies on its surface form part of the immune system,
        • it is one of the most important organs of elimination- sweating out toxins and waste products from the body,
        • it is an environmental barrier – preventing our water-rich bodies from drying out, sensory nerves are abundant in the skin – making it an invaluable organ of touch. 
        • the skin, when stimulated by uv light, also produces the pigment melanin, this darkens the skin to pro-tect it from sun-damage.
        • produces its own moisturizer called sebum from special glands called sebaceous glands.
          • sebum also contains natural salts and lactic acid which help to maintain the natural and slightly acidic (4.5 to 6) of skin and hair. over or under production of sebum can result in either greasy or dry skin and hair. 
        • make sure your skin care is edible because if you wouldn't eat it, it doesn't belong on your skin. many conventional products are packed with harmful ingredients that are being carried into your body.
        • look at the ingredients and know what to avoid. 
    • nutrition is a major part of how you feel and how you look. it is important to understand that the skin, like every other part of the body, is self-repairing, self-maintaining and exclusively constructed from the nutrients provided in the diet. our body goes through a complete renewal cycle every 7 years, where all body parts are renewed. skin is able to completely replace itself every 30 days.  guess what is used to regenrate your skin: nuitrients from the food you eat.  you really are what you eat. eat healthy and you will have more energy, look and feel better.
    • hydration is essential to having smooth, firm skin without cellulite. the quality of the water is also important, tap water is full of chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, synthetic hormones and recycled sewerage! a water filter can help with this and it is possible to get filters to use on taps and showerheads too. the skin cells, just like every other cell in the body, are over 70% water and this need must be fulfilled to keep those cells perky.   
    • rest! stress is one of the major reasons of early aging and all disease. if you want to be healthy and look healthy, make sure to get enough beauty sleep.  
      • "You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day - unless you're too busy; then you should sit for an hour.” - Old Zen adage  
    • exercise your body. it's a machine that needs to use all the parts, or they get rusty and stiff. exercise increases the blood flow (and hence the flow of nutrients) to the skin cells. also by doing fun exercise like trampoline. you lift your spirits and conciousness. yoga enhances your life balance, stimulates and opens up all parts of your body.
    • stay positive! if you want to see miracles in your life - stay positive and grateful, set positive skin goals. you will see how your life unfolds based on your thoughts alone.  #truth
