Isa's The Science of Ethnobotany

As we age, Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) - the skin's own built-in moisturizer -- is depleted. This lessens the skin's ability to retain moisture. A balanced blend of plant extracts, marine extracts, and mineral-based compounds -- a complex similar in composition to NMF - will replenish and revitalize the skin, restoring its natural suppleness and moisture levels. Dead Sea minerals are a natural component in this blend because of their remarkable similarity to the mineral composition of NMF. So are ethnobotanicals such as Date Palm Extract and Sea Buckthorn Oil, that parallel the oil component in NMF. The result is balance: a synergetic mix of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals uniquely suited to replenish the skin's losses.

Extreme conditions produce plants with extreme survival mechanisms. Elderberry, which grows at high altitudes with little UV protection from the sun, needed to develop its own sun protection in order to survive. Desert plants such as the cactus are uniquely suited to retain moisture. The more exreme the locale - the more extraordinary the ingredient. Following are some of the key ethnobotanicals used in Isa's formulations.
