ingredients
Skullcap

Scutellaria baicalensis root extract is known commonly as Skullcap. It possesses well documented anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also has possible anticancer activity (including skin cancer) which is thought to be primarily related to the flavonoid baicalin. It has been demonstrated to be an inhibitor of tryosinase activity and thus has brightening properties. Skullcap is included in skin care products for these antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and brightening effects. Its potential anticancer effects are a theoretical bonus despite any direct evidence it helps prevent the development of skin cancer.

Titanium Dioxide 5.4%

Titanium dioxide is an FDA approved physical sunscreen ingredient. It remains on the skin surface, scatters UV light, and is often used in conjunction with other sunscreen chemicals to boost SPF values, thus enhancing overall product attractiveness. The finer the particle size of titanium dioxide, the less obtrusive and whitish the product will appear. Many authorities believe that titanium dioxide in an ideal UVA/UVB protection component given its chemical, cosmetic, and physical characteristics. Titanium dioxide also serves as a white pigment and opacifier in skin care products and cosmetics.

Finely Processed Pure Mica

Mica is a silicate mineral that reflects light. It is a major component of mineral makeup and is also found in certain skin care formulations where it helps impart a silky feel. Mica is translucent on the skin and, depending upon how it is milled, can impart brilliance and shimmer with a sheer look and smooth texture.
