No Animal Testing
*Why are some cosmetics tested on animals? Because they are synthetic and are NOT made with natural ingredients.
If you are purchasing from us or using natural ingredients there is no animal testing done on these ingredients.
One of the only reasons animal testing occurs at all is because cosmetic companies want to continuously synthesize new products with newly designed synthetic chemicals. Since these chemicals are artificially designed in laboratories, their effect on human beings (or any organic specimen for that matter) is largely unknown, and therefore they must be tested.
The main reason animal testing is done at all is because synthetic chemicals are not organic or natural. They are essentially brand new chemical formulations.
Safety testing is required on these synthetic chemicals to look at the possible toxic or genetic effects they might have on human beings, both short and long-term. By committing to using natural ingredients and formulations, animal testing is not required, not necessary and not done.
This is because nature provides us with natural (food grade) ingredients that can be safely applied to the skin and meet the standards as GRAS per FDA guidelines without any animal testing needed.

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India and Egyptian bean, is one of two extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. The Linnaean binomial Nelumbo nucifera (Gaertn.) is the currently recognized name for this species, which has been classified under the former names, Nelumbium speciosum (Willd.) and Nymphaea nelumbo, among others.
This plant is an aquatic perennial. The roots of lotus are planted in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while the leaves float on top of the water surface or are held well above it. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimeters above the leaves. The plant normally grows up to a height of about 150 cm and a horizontal spread of up to 3 meters, but some unverified reports place the height as high as over 5 meters. The leaves may be as large as 60 cm in diameter, while the showy flowers can be up to 20 cm in diameter.

What is Tinosan SDC (Silver Dihydrogen Citrate or Silver Ion 2400) Tinosan SDC is a relatively
new to the market as an all-natural preservative and antimicrobial based on the stabilized silver complex produced by a unique electrochemical process with silver and citric acid. It is a water-soluble silver dihydrogen citrate.
It is formaldehyde-free, non-halogenated, contains no phenols and no
quaternary ammonium compounds. It passed challenges tests for
Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, Yeast, Molds and Fungi and fulfilled
USP test requirements in formulations with anionic and nonionic
emulsifiers and shampoos.
Tinosan SDC provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and is effective against unwanted skin bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms.
Its fast-killing activity makes Tinosan SDC an effective antimicrobial
for home and personal care products.
Bacteria have been exposed to silver ions for over 4 billion years and no widespread resistance has been evident to date. The risk for
microbial resistance to Tinosan SDC is considered extremely low.
Tinosan SDC has meet FDA standards for these intended uses. Applications include: Deodorant active for Personal Care Products The antimicrobial active ingredient for Personal Care Products Preservative for Personal Care Products Biocide for Household and hospital products GRAS - Generally recommended as Safe
Tinosan SDC is a colorless, odorless, low viscous liquid. It has no known adverse effects on human health and is classified as not hazardous under OSHA regulations. Its LD50 is >5000 ml/kg. (Note: The LD50 of
water is around 190 ml/kg)
In testing on humans, Tinosan SDC caused No skin or eye irritation and is not a skin sensitizer.
Usage and incorporation: Tinosan pH = 1.4 to 1.6 Use in Skincare/personal care products @ 0.1% - 0.3% Extremely good compatibility has been shown in most formulations at a pH <7
with anionic and non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers and the amphoteric surfactants but is compatible within all pH ranges. Silver Ion 2400 is compatible with many other antimicrobial actives and most other preservatives.
Silver Ion 2400 is highly water-soluble and easy to incorporate into the aqueous phase of gels, surfactants and emulsions made by cold process. In the manufacturing of emulsions produced by hot process, Silver Ion 2400 should preferably be added to the final formulation after the emulsion has cooled down, but this is not essential and does not alter its efficacy. For formulas that are sensitive to acids, Silver Ion 2400 can be pre-neutralized prior to addition to the product.
The additional of Silver Ion 2400 to products with a pH lower than 8 and temps below 130 degrees are optimal in order to promote your formulations stability and prevent possible precipitation and discoloration but is not essential. We have had significant success with formulations outside this pH and temp range without issues. Our extensive research shows the efficacy of Silver Ion 2400 is not altered if precipitation or discoloration occurs, but they may be undesirable by the client in the final formulation.
High salt concentrations (greater than 30%) can reduce the bactericidal activity of Silver Ion 2400 Anionic surfactants in concentrations of 0.03% to 1% increase
the biocidal efficacy of Silver Ion 2400.
Additionally, Tinosan SDC exhibits strong activity against
Corynebacteria and significantly reduces body malodor in deodorant
preparations, making it an excellent deodorant active.
Storage & Shelf Life: Silver Ion 2400 is considered inert until combined with a formulation giving it indefinite shelf life. It is light sensitive and should be stored in a
container that protects it from light. Final formulations sold in
transparent packaging and exposed to bright light may experience a photoreaction or discoloration, but this does not decrease the antimicrobial effectiveness. Products preserved with Silver Ion 2400 should
ideally, be stored in ambient conditions and ideally used within 3 years of
manufacturing.
Availability: Silver Ion 2400 has not been widely advertised because the manufacturer believes, as we do, that the product sells itself. Many smaller businesses are now using it as their primary
preservative system.

up to 128 oz (1 gallon).
Additional Technical and Scientific Information
Tinosan SDC is NOT colloidal Silver. It is silver dihydrogen citrate and only contains Silver Ions which are positively charged in a base of citric acid and water.
Colloidal Silver particles are solid silver particles suspended in a liquid with a negative charge. Colloidal silver is a suspension of submicroscopic metallic silver particles in a colloidal base.
The Silver Ions in Silver Dihydrogen Citrate, when they come in contact with the human body (because of
their positive charge), quickly combine with chloride to form an insoluble compound called silver chloride which is is
basically non-reactive in the body.
If ingested the hydrochloric acid in the digestive tract supplies the
chloride ions that will cause ionic silver to quickly form silver
chloride, an insoluble compound that
will not dissolve or deposit itself in the bodies tissues
and is quickly excreted by the kidneys in the urine. If ionic silver
were to be absorbed into the bloodstream or interstitial spaces via the
skin it would encounter a large supply of chloride ions and
again quickly form silver chloride and be excreted via the kidneys.
Food Allergens Silver Ion 2400 has been evaluated for the source of the raw materials used in production. There are no raw materials, including additives, used that have origin in peanuts, soybeans, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts and or wheat or gluten. Based on this examination of the ingredients and their sources, Silver Ion 2400 is free of the specified known allergy stimulating food substances.
Argyria - is caused by Colloidal Silver. Silver Ion 2400 does not cause or contribute to Argyria.
Argyria
is a blue skin discoloration resulting from excessive exposure to silver. Silver metal workers, people who mine silver, and people who take colloidal silver supplements can all develop this rare condition.
Once
argyria
develops, it is very challenging to treat. Continued exposure to silver either through skin contact, ingestion or inhalation can result in severe complications.
There are two types of argyria: localized and universal.
Topical treatments such as nasal sprays contain silver compounds that can cause localized argyria at the mucus membranes. Some tattoo colors also have a silver base, which can cause localized argyria.
Medications now seldom include silver compounds, and reputable tattoo parlors do not employ silver in any of their dyes. Tooth fillings made
from silver do contribute to slight risk for developing the condition,
so as a result, fillings do not usually contain silver today.
Universal argyria
occurs when the people ingest silver particles in medicines or through exposure to fine silver dust. In these cases, the blue or grey color of the skin is more diffuse, but may at first be noted mostly on areas of the skin that receive sun exposure. The face, hands, and chest may all turn a
bluish-gray. In the worst cases, all of the skin will turn blue, and organs like the spleen and liver may also have a bluish cast.
Unlike Colloidal Silver, Tinosan SDC does not cause or contribute to Argyria.
Our Tinosan SDC comes directly from the manufacturer and is made here in the USA.
Lycopene, from the neo-Latin lycopersicum, the tomato species, is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons and papayas, although not in strawberries, or cherries. Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity. Foods that are not red may also contain lycopene, such as asparagus and parsley.
In plants, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms, lycopene is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of many carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which is responsible for yellow, orange, or red pigmentation, photosynthesis, and photoprotection. Like all carotenoids, lycopene is a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon, i.e. an unsubstituted alkene. Structurally, lycopene is a tetraterpene and assembled from eight isoprene units that are composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen. It is insoluble in water. Lycopene's eleven conjugated double bonds give its deep red color and its antioxidant activity. Fruits and vegetables that are high in lycopene include autumn olive, tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, pink guava, papaya, seabuckthorn, wolfberry (goji, a berry relative of tomato), and rosehip. The lycopene content of tomatoes depends on species and increases as the fruit ripens.
Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional content such as vitamin C is diminished upon cooking, processing of tomatoes increases the concentration of bioavailable lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is up to four times more bioavailable than in fresh tomatoes.
.
Note that there are some resources which make the mistaken assumption that all red fruits contain lycopene, when in fact many are pigmented by other chemicals. An example is the blood orange, which is colored by anthocyanins, while other red colored oranges, such as the Cara cara navel, and other citrus fruit, such as pink grapefruit, are colored by lycopene.
Suggested Cosmetic Uses:
Lycopene Extract can be used in skin and hair care products.
Fermented rice water is rice water that is left to ferment. The Fermentation process lowers the pH of the water to make it slightly acidic and close to skin and hair pH and also increases the Inositol levels ( a sugar) that promotes beautiful skin and hair.
