Watkins Aloe & Green Tea with NSE

This skin care line is the most exciting development in skin care in years!  Our Aloe & Green Tea line is already on the cutting edge of botanical personal care products.  With the addition of these three products, we have created a comprehensive skin care regimen.

Skin care products designed for the face are, by nature, different from body products.  The skin on the face is not only more sensitive but it is constantly in motion (through facial expressions, talking, etc.) and almost always exposed.  This makes it particularly susceptible to wrinkling and environmental factors.  Accordingly, products for the face have to perform differently - and better.  Cleansers must be milder; moisturizers must be more intensive and protective.  By combining the finest botanical properties of our Aloe & Green Tea line with the sea algae-based technology of our NSE (Nature's Sea Essentials), we've assembled the very best of the land and sea for a truly remarkable group of products.

These three products - Gentle Cleanser, Clarifying Toner and Daily Moisturizing Cream - can be used both day and night for all skin types.  They are scented with our popular Aloe & Green Tea cucumber/herbal fragrance, in a milder concentration, appropriate for facial use.  And each product has been tested dermatologically safe to gently cleanse, tone and moisturize without irritation.

It would be very hard to find a facial care line that provides more botanical benefits than this.  Aloe vera provides its legendary healing, soothing and moisturizing properties.  Green tea extract adds powerful antioxidant polyphenols.  Sea algae extract contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids to nourish skin, gently exfoliate, and add further antioxidant properties to help fight cell damage and aging.  Plus, our unique six-botanical blend (Hypericum, Cornflower, Linden, Matricaria, Calendula and Chamomile) helps to soften, soothe and stimulate the skin while providing added protective benefits.

Essential Ingredients:

• Aloe Vera Gel:  an excellent natural moisturizer; contains a synergistic balance of some 200 biologically-active compounds (such as enzymes) that scientists believe are responsible for its legendary healing, soothing, and moisturizing qualities.
• Green Tea Extract:  High in polyphenols, a group of phytonutrients with powerful antioxidant activity and possible bacteriostatic and antiallergenic properties.  Recent studies found that green tea extract polyphenols appear to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties as well.
• Algae Extract:  Derived from seaweed.  Contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids to nourish skin, and exhibit antioxidant properties to help fight cell damage and aging.  Provides gentle exfoliation without the irritation of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).
