If you need some 'uplift' look no further than Pumpkinseed oil


I use Pumpkin Seed Oil in Skinvelop skincare products when a lifting and tightening effect is required.
It has a high zinc and Essential Fatty acid content and is an excellent lifting oil for dry, mature and damaged skin. It is an excellent natural oil where a lifting effect is required, so along with Pseudo collagen it tends to be perfect for facial, abdominal, upper leg and breast lifting/firmi...ng preparations.

It is high in vitamins A, B2, B3, potassium, magnesium and most importantly zinc. It is also high in omegas 9, 6 and 3.

I use it in:
Eye Therapy
Daily Moisture Boost
Daily Moisture Tint
And our NEW Toning & Circulation Boosting Body Lotion

Why I use Aloe Vera in ALL Skinvelop skincare products

Well if it was good enough for Cleopatra, I reckon it is good enough for us!
I use Aloe Vera or to give it it's proper name 'Aloe Barbadensis' in EVERY single item of Skinvelop skincare..even soap, because I believe it to have the most amazing moisturising and healing properties and is suitable for all skin types!
Contained within this amazing plant are many vitamins, minerals and amino acids which help stimulate cell renewal, contributing to the growth of new collagen and elastin within the skin, leaving your complexion, younger, fresher and healthier looking. These properties make it ideal when used in skin preparation such as, anti ageing and helping to speed up the repair of scar tissue.
Aloe vera is one of the most versatile and nutritious plants. Whether used externally or internally, it's beauty and healing properties are an absolute Must Have...


*Same PH as skin 5.5 approx

*Vitamins:B1, B2, B6, C, E, folic acid, beta-carotene

*Minerals:Calcium, sodium, manganese, magnesium, zinc, copper, chromium

*Amino acids:Lysine, threonine, valine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine

Why I use Coconut Oil in ALL Skinvelop skincare products


A 'Hero' skincare ingredient used in ALL Skinvelop Skincare is Coconut oil.
Contrary to what you may think, coconut oil has relatively no smell and sinks straght int your skin like magic!
I find it works for every skin type, except possibly acne prone skin! Like essential oil it has very small molecules, which allows it's goodness to be absorbed into the deeper levels of the skin and because of this , skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and dry damaged skin can be dramatically soothed andhelped.
Used in conjunction with my other hero ingredientAloe Vera, its natural chemical composition works hard to rid the skin's outer surface of dead and flaking skin cells, eventually leaving your complexion looking brighter and smoother with a more even & youthful texture. ..Even brown spots due to to ageing and sun damage can be dramatically reduced!
As if all that isn't enough, thanks to the high percentage of essential fatty acids, it also has antimicrobial, antioxidant, antifungal and antibacterial properties, so helps fight fungal and skin infections.
So there you are, just a fraction of the wonders of what coconut oil can do and why i wouldn't be without it!
