I’m seeing AMAZING results with my skin, better tone and texture. What do you think is the “secret” ingredient that is causing this terrific action?

The amazing results are from a combination of our antioxidant packed 100% certified botanical juice base, potent vitamins and fruit acids. Each Juice Beauty collection has powerful ingredients specifically surrounding the specific needs for that collection.

I heard that Cana Gold Beauty has the highest Vitamin C content in skincare. What is the exact percentage and explanation for this?

Since Cana Gold Beauty products start with botanical juice base and rose water and jasmine oil, instead of a tap water base or a petroleum base like most beauty products, we have a high Vitamins content in our products.

Vitamin C is available in both water-soluble and fat-soluble forms. Juice Beauty formulas can include both forms of Vitamin C for optimum results.

Cana Gold includes juices that are rich in water-soluble Vitamin C. In addition, our botanical juice base is among our highest percentage ingredient in our formulas and is listed first and thus our products are packed with potent Vitamin C.

Cana Gold Beauty enriches our products with essential fatty acids and other ingredients such as rich organic aloe, jojoba, and shea that make the products smooth and luxurious. All of our products are extremely concentrated, so a bit goes a long way!

Parabens are synthetic preservatives that are commonly used in beauty products. Several researchers reported that parabens were found within human breast tumors. Cana Gold Beauty was one of the first companies to be completely Paraben free.

One way to avoid pesticides in beauty products is to buy certified organic products with the USDA seal or the Certified Organic Seal on the front of the box or product.

I’ve heard that there is quite a bit of research on the potential effects of all these unnecessary chemicals and additives in beauty products. Where can I find more information?

The epidermis, the top most layer of skin, is only 0.1 to 1.5 millimeters thick. It is made up of five layers: the basal cell layer, the squamous cell layer, the stratum granulosum, the stratum lucidum, and the stratum corneum. Working together, these layers continually rebuild the surface of the skin from within, maintaining the skin’s strength and helping to thwart normal wear and tear and sun damage.

The stratum corneum is the outermost, visible layer of the epidermis. The stratum corneum is made up of 10 to 30 thin layers of dead cells. The thickness varies depending on health, age, and location on the body. The stratum corneum is protected by a thin layer (approximately 5 cells thick), the acid mantle, made up of water (perspiration) and oil (sebum).

As the outermost cells give way to wear and tear, they are replaced from within by new layers of strong, long-wearing cells. In the average adult, it takes nearly a month for the stratum corneum to be completely replaced. The replacement process generally slows with age.

Cana Gold Beauty recommends to use most of our products within 1 year after opening, and within 6 to 8 months after opening for our eye products. Sunscreens may be used within 2 years after opening.

Your safety is our first concern and as a result, Cana Gold has worked diligently to find safe preservatives that provide effective protection up to 3 years for products never opened.

Cana Gold Beauty’s Skincare products are preserved with a combination of safe and effective food grade preservatives that include ethylhexylglycerin, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate. Our USDA products are preserved with organic grape alcohol. Some of our original formulations are preserved with Sage derived phenoxyethanol. These preservatives are safe, effective, naturally derived alcohols that are used at percentages less the 0.3%.

Rest assured that health and safety is a top priority at Cana Gold , which is why we have successfully replaced toxic paraben preservatives with safe and effective alternatives.
