ThermaSkin Pepper Facial Cleanser

April 30th, 2010 at 07:59am Under Products

Greensations Body SpraysGreensations is announcing the launch of the world’s first anti-aging soap made with the capability of nature’s own hot peppers under their popular ThermaSkin grade. Although the formula contains Capsaicin (natural pepper extract), there is no burning sensation considering the dose is so small, but the results are big.

Capsaicin has been clinically proven to improve skin elasticity by increasing epidermal blood flow and reducing inflammation, but that is the first product to use capsaicin in a naturally gentle face soap. ThermaSkin Facial Cleanser combines natural pepper extract with Green Tea, Jewelweed, Thyme, Sage and Cranesbill Root. that innovative formula is soon after mixed into a base of natural Castile soap, Witch Hazel and Cucumber water.

ThermaSkin’s proprietary formula instantly tightens sagging skin while unclogging pores and replenishing color. Aside from increasing topical circulation, the capsaicin plus desensitizes nerve fibers to neutralize topical skin reactions caused by environmental pollutants, sun damage, makeup and chemically based personal care products. ThermaSkin Facial Cleanser is additionally packaged in a self foaming pump bottle that doesn’t require harmful sulfate based foaming chemicals like other soaps and non-soap cleansers.

“Our ThermaSkin pepper soap increases topical circulation and absorption on contact. A tiny bit goes a faraway way and it can be used anywhere on the body. It’s great for removing dirt, oils and makeup, but it plus works as a daily anti-aging treatment to reduce wrinkles and tighten skin without drying. Small doses of topical capsaicin additionally combat a variety of common skin conditions including acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and increasingly. It leaves your skin feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom. The results are amazing, says Wayne Perry, founder of Greensations.

A 2006 study conducted by the station of Bio-Defense Medicine, at the Nagoya City University Graduate School of Medical Sciences in Japan, showed topical capsaicin significantly increases skin elasticity. According to the study headed by Naoaki Harada and Kenji Okajima,

“Capsaicin increases calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) release from sensory neurons by stimulating vanilloid receptor-1 (VR-1). Since CGRP increases the production of the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in fetal (osteoblasts in vitro), it is possible that sensory neuron activation by capsaicin increases production of IGF-I. Topical application of 0.01% capsaicin to faces of 17 healthy female volunteers for seven days significantly increased cheek skin elasticity. These observations propose that topical application of capsaicin and related compounds might be useful in the treatment of detrimental morphological changes of the skin in patients with growth hormone deficiency and those in the elderly by increasing dermal IGF-I levels”.

In laymen’s terms, capsaicin appears to reverse the aging process in skin by triggering nerve receptors to create new growth while repairing damaged cells. As nerve receptors in the skin reply to small doses of capsaicin, they trigger the body to increase the production of natural chemicals such as Collagen and Elastin. that leads to a total rejuvenation of skin cells.
