All of us are familiar with Vitamin C. We know that it plays a crucial role in supporting the immune system, prevents scurvy, lowers the risk of some forms of heart diseases, and helps people with iron deficiency. Along with that, one of its most important roles is supporting the production of collagen. What is the collagen and how Vitamin C supports it?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in our connective tissue, which gives it the form and support. Collagen found in our skin, bones, teeth, internal organs, and cartilage. In the skin collagen plays a crucial role in keeping it firm and resilient, protecting it from early wrinkling.
Interacting with amino acids of collagen Vitamin C is able to add hydrogen and oxygen to them; thus, they may do their part in further collagen production. If the skin doesn`t get the proper amount of vitamin C, collagen production slows, which makes the skin more susceptible not only to wrinkles but also bruising.
On the contrary, receiving enough supplement of Vitamin C to the skin via food and skincare, the skin has a firmer and plumper look.

Many of us are aware of the certain connection between the epithelial (skin) and nervous systems. For example, when someone is stressed or even burned out for a period of time, he or she might notice that her skin is becoming dull with uneven skin tone and lacking elasticity; also, some red pimples might appear. Moreover, being under emotional stress, many people develop some forms of persistent skin issues such as rosacea.
Does this sound familiar?
So let`s explore briefly how does this connection work.
In the very early embryonal stage, all our organs develop from the particular layer of embryo cells. There are three embryo layers: endoderm (the proximal layer), mesoderm (middle layer), and the ectoderm (the distal) layer. The skin and nervous tissues are developing from the same embryonal layer, - ectoderm. These tissues stay connected during the whole life of a person reflecting the condition of each other.
What would be our conclusion? To keep the skin healthy and glowing it's very important to pay close attention to our emotional well-being. Sleeping enough, meditating, spending time with interesting people, developing the personal coping strategies, being aware of the individual limits, - all of these strongly contribute to the radiant, glowing, and young looking skin.

Did you know that Vitamin E is the most abundant lipophilic antioxidant found in the human skin?
It accumulates in the sebaceous glands and delivered to the epidermis with sebum. Consequently, a dry skin (lack of sebum), doesn`t get enough of Vitamin E from the diet even if the diet is rich with it.
Interesting that many specific forms of Vitamin E are not available from the diet. Thus, the topical application supplies the skin with a variety of vitamin E forms ensuring effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects. In addition, vitamin E can also absorb the ultraviolet energy, playing important role in photoprotection.
Another interesting fact is that products containing both vitamin C and vitamin E have shown greater efficacy in photoprotection than either antioxidant alone.
The skin needs Vitamin E because:
- It is a powerful antioxidant. It means that Vit E protects our skin from photodamage, which contributes to the healthy and plump looking skin;
- Boosts the production of collagen, a fiber-like protein that is responsible for maintaining skin elasticity;
- Excellent moisturizer, - reduces wrinkles and keeps the skin youthful-looking;
- Lightens Dark Spots.

Did you know that, as BC` skincare brand, we use a lot of extracts and oils from the local plants? There are some plants that you, probably, already know, such as chamomile, calendula, and lavender. However, you may not be so familiar with the rare Meadowfoam flower, which gives us the precious oil, chemically close to the sperm whale oil.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil - well-known to prevent skin dehydration and make skin “look” younger. It can also replenish the oil in your skin or control it if there’s an overproduction of sebum. In addition, it can prevent or reduce damage from harmful environmental factors due to its superb anti-oxidant properties and skin softening benefits.
The meadowfoam seed comes from the meadowfoam plant (Limnanthes alba). It is native in some parts of Canada (specifically in Vancouver Island and British Columbia).
The meadowfoam seed is found out to be useful in making beauty products, along with being used as a vegetable oil substitute for sperm whale oil.
Components of the Meadowfoam Seed and its benefits:
Tocopherol – This compound is the primary component of Vitamin E which is known to keep the skin from aging.
Docosadienoic Acid – polyunsaturated fat, effectively moisturizes the skin and smoothes the wrinkles.
Eicosenoic Acid – This acid, along with other fatty acids, is known for its many properties. It is non-comedogenic (does not block the skin’s pores), it can be readily absorbed by the skin, and it balances the oil in the skin, making it less oily.
