Daisy Extract
The Story: Often known as “Poor man’s Arnica”, during the Roman Empire, the military doctors soaked bandages with daisy flower tincture to treat wounded soldiers. They used it to ease pain, bruises, wounds and even broken bones. Having this in mind, we tested it on inflammatory acne issues and it turned out it worked like a gem. What is even more surprising is that it helped lighten pigmentation as good as arbutin for the skin in our experiment!

Chalmoogra Oil

In the woods he was directed by the gods to a tree with a large fruit with many seeds. He was told to eat it and was thereupon cured of leprosy.
The Technical Shabang: Our team studied this very ingredient for the use of issues such as acne, psoriasis and eczema due to its antimicrobial company called hydnocarpic acids, a lipophilic compound. Gladly, it was found that eczema and psoriasis flare ups we reported to have reduced tremendously.
Nigella Sativa Oil

The Technical Shabang: Our findings were that it was rich in Vitamin A and Niacin specifically which aids with the healing of very inflammatory acne. Skin that overproduces oil is more susceptible to acne breakouts since excess oil collects in pores. The essential fatty acids in black cumin seed oil help to flush out this oil. It does this by creating healthy skin cells that work to dissolve fat deposits in pores.
