Did you know?

It is interesting to note that not only are women’s tear ducts larger than men’s, but women also have higher concentrations of prolactin, which is the hormone that generates breast milk – so there is really a physiological reason why women cry more than men.

Always trust your instincts!

When you're too worried about making the right decision, remember this: "Even a broken clock is right, twice a day."   Go for it!  

Our collagen is derived from plants

We do not use Animal Collagen!  Our labs provide the following information.
Pseudo collagen is a true moisturizing glycoprotein taken from living cells. It is extracted traditional brewer’s yeast by a controlled process which preserves its high molecular weight and native structure and enables it to confer desireable moisture binding and film-forming properties to the skin. In this single product we offer you a combination of the best from dermal protein and sugar worlds in a soluble, easily handled form that is an ideal substitute for animal based collagen.
Aromantic is committed to use proteins which are derived from vegetables and other non-animal sources. Our producers have looked to yeast for a source of pseudo collagen material that will provide moisturization for both skin and hair.
Pseudo collagen has been extracted from the intra-cellular matrix from yeast cells in a water soluble ‘Pseudo collagenous’ form suitable for use in cosmetics and creams. Pseudo collagen is the name that has been given to this cellular extract consisting of a moisturizing complex of sugars and proteins. This complex is responsible for turgor and shape inside the cell, in a similar way to sugar/protein complexes in the dermis.
It has been demonstrated that Pseudo collagen has excellent moisture binding properties, making it especially suited as a soluble collagen replacement.

Aloe Vera, a natural skin care component.

Aloe Vera is 95% water, while the remaining .05 percent is composed of 20 something amino acids, carbohydrates, Vitamin B, triglycerides, nine minerals and enzymes. At least 6 anticeptic agents, three of which are anti-inflammatory fatty acids, that explain the soothing, healing affects on burns, cuts and abrasions. Aloe helps water penetrate the skin, making it an ideal conductor for skin care.  Did you know the majority of these properties are not in the gel, but in the thin layer of sap between the rind and the gel. Aloe Vera historically, has been used for external and internal healing. Aloe Vera rocks!

How much are you paying?

"Skin care should be simple, effective and affordable. We consumers have been vulnerable to the thinking, if it costs more, it must be better. Skin care should be more than buying hope in a jar." B'Anne, (creator of JustB Skin Care)
