D2O is Deuterium Oxide, or heavy water. Its hydrogen molecule is twice the weight of the molecule in ordinary water, which makes D2O 10% heavier than H2O. Heavy water (D20) is 100% natural, is 10% heavier than water, and is extracted from sea water. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin from the stresses conveyed by solar radiation and climate, while sheltering skin cells from free-radical damage. It stays on the skin longer (due to its heaviness, it does not evaporate as quickly as H20), strengthens the cellular envelope and muscle structure of the skin. It even suppresses any tendency for a cell to become malignant! Research has found that:
* Heavy Water has a higher resistance to vaporization, which helps it stay on the skin for longer periods of time.
* It has more viscosity. This "thickness" gives it a higher "plumping" effect than regular water and the skin does not dry out as quickly or as deeply.
* Requires ten times as much energy to be ionized than regular water, which makes it more protective against ultra violet radiation.
* It inactivates certain acne bacteria, making it an ideal moisturizing agent for blemish-prone skin.
* Restores skin’s natural moisture barrier functions. Because of its numerous benefits, misting this "Heavy Water" blend is like giving your skin a long cool drink from the 'Fountain of Youth'. It really does seem to work miracles! May be misted before, over makeup, or anytime your skin needs a little hydrating boost.

Ingredients
Aloe Vera, Rose Hydrosol, Neroli Hydrosol, Gotu Kola, Butcher's Broom, D2O Heavy Water, Bee Pollen, Borage, Evening Primrose, Cactus, Kumquat, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE, MSM, Amber and Rudraksha Bead Energy
The Science
Tap/hard water leaves mineral deposits, this can cause skin to feel tight, dry, and flaky, disturbing the acid mantle. This often causes people to believe their skin is drier than it really is. Sometimes, clients even over-moisturize, which can cause skin congestion and even sagging. Toners remove this mineral residue and prepare the skin for the right protective treatments.
Our Hydrator can also be used as a cell activator before masking or as the mask activator itself. An effective anti-wrinkle solution that can be used on its own as an eye and face treatment or in conjunction with other products. The silver and sea salt gel helps the body to get rid of toxins and by- products of metabolism via the lymph system, which is valuable in the elimination of trapped fluids around puffy eyes. Excellent when used mid-day as a pick-me up for dehydrated skin. Studies performed with hexapeptides show wrinkle reduction up to 27% after 30 days of treatment. Studies performed with pentapeptides show reduction of deep wrinkles by as much as 68% after six months. Synergistic effects are expected.
Mature skin suffers from essential nutrient deficiencies (minerals, vitamins, amino acids). This causes skin slackening, skin thinning, dull complexion, irregular skin surface, dehydration, and age spots. For these reasons, Anna's has formulated the Luminess Silk Mist to target the decollete area with specific ingredients to help to fortify and restructure thin and fragile skin on the neck and upper chest area. These ingredients, known as Age Perfect Escences, is a complementary source of calcium and essential amino acids. It is specifically designed to boost cell metabolism and protein synthesis, rebalance ion flow, and recreate calcium gradient in order to regulate the barrier homeostasis and the epidermal differentiation.
Enriched with vitamin B5, known to help with tissue repair, our hydrating gel replenishes nutrients the skin needs to feel smooth and appear younger. Moisture-enhancing hyaluronic acid, the body's natural hydrator, binds moisture to the skin. D Hydrator is recommended for use with our Super Vitamin C Powder and will help maximize the benefits of your daily moisturizer.

Select Ingredients
Epidermal Growth Factor is the single most important substance for development and maintenance of both the epidermis and dermis. It is a protein that works to heal and repair the stratum corneum by directly stimulating proliferation of growth factor receptors. EGF has two other bonuses in that it helps "mop up" free radicals, and also has anti-inflammatory benefits. All of the above show why EGF is particularly beneficial to skin that is going through chemical peeling treatments. It helps replace what the peels remove. Using this product in conjunction with peeling makes it much less stressful to the skin by providing fuel for the renewal process.
Marine Soluble Collagen is collagen that has been processed to enable transdermal delivery. Marine collagen derived from salmon and marine source, naturally contains DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol). DMAE, made popular by Dr. Nicolas Perricone, is a naturally occurring substance that facilitates the synthesis of a neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which help to maintain skins firmness and facial tone. DMAE also stimulates the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, an important component of cell membranes. It�s soluble state, being fractionated for transdermal delivery, naturally encapsulates for skin absorption.
Hyaluronic Acid is the ingredient found in the cosmetic injection, Restylane. It naturally occurs in the body, but diminishes as we age or as our bodies become less hydrated. Hyaluronic Acid is the �glue� that binds collagen and elastin in place. It contains amino-polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans (GAG's), which help increase elasticity and mobility between cells and help the skin repair, renew, and revitalize itself.
Hyaluronic Acid and charged rehydrating botanicals are fantastic for correcting long-term deep dehydration
Why help lymphatic flow?
It is vitally important for our health that the body's toxins are swiftly and efficiently removed from our tissues. In a healthy body the flow of lymph is maintained by the movement of our muscles, by the exercise we take. But people who sit at a desk all day, or who need a lot of rest, or who accumulate high levels of toxins in their tissues - from diet or prolonged stress - will benefit from anything that helps optimize lymphatic drainage. Exercise, deep breathing using the diaphragm, detox programs, massage and certain herbs, including echinacea, can all help.
Poor lymphatic drainage creates what therapists call stagnation. Bags under the eyes, a tired puffy face, and swollen ankles or swollen feet are typical examples. When toxins are not efficiently removed from the tissues we feel fatigued, we have less enthusiasm and we're much less able to focus our minds. Spots and blemishes are also more likely to develop and will heal more slowly; tension will be slower to drain and skin will simply have less life.
Applications
Facial care After cleansing, close eyes and apply to entire face, throat and neck down to collar bones. Allow tingling to finish before applying your normal day or night cream.
Tired puffy tissues
To energize facial tissues and help optimize lymphatic tone, including bags under eyes and eyelids, apply as above, morning and evening, after cleansing.
To refresh when tired or stressed
Apply to temples, face, neck, back of neck, behind ears as appropriate, especially when desk-bound or driving long distance.
Tiredness and head pressure
Apply to forehead, temples, back of neck as needed.
Tense shoulders, neck or back
Apply to areas of tension regularly throughout the day.
Nervousness
Apply frequently to the solar plexus (midriff area).
Tired feet
Apply to tired feet, heavy legs, puffy ankles and lower back as appropriate.
Lymphatic drainage
Energy Gel can be applied sparingly to the whole body as needed.
Botanicals

This blend has extracts with high concentrations of vitamin C to help calm and soothe skin and which may help strengthen capillary walls. Beneficial for patients with rosacea or distended capillaries.
Hyaluronic Acid
The #1 moisturizer contains Glucosamine which helps collagen fibers retain water, giving your skin a youthful appearance! Dehydrated skin causes many skin problems and makes any existing skin condition worse. When it rains in the desert, the earth is so dry it cannot absorb the water, so the rain can cause flooding. The rain will roll across the desert and fall into the cracks. Dehydrated skin, or water-dry skin acts like the desert. Products cannot be absorbed by dehydrated skin. Hydrators are water-based gels that should be used twice daily to combat dehydration which is the most common skin problem. Just as everybody should drink water, everybody should use a Hydrator Gel on their skin. Dehydrated skin appears dry, scaly, and flaky. It feels tight and may crinkle when gently pulled. A person with oily skin may think they have dry skin but it is really dehydrated. If they were to use products for dry skin, they would have worse problems. When skin becomes dehydrated, the surface layers of cells harden up and form a thin covering over the surface of the skin. This dehydrated covering is like putting Saran Wrap on the skin � none of the wonderful ingredients get in and none of the oil secretions get out. This entrapment of oils under the surface of the skin is particularly detrimental in the case of someone with acne. In addition, dehydrated skin is always more sensitive because just as the dry desert earth has cracks, dehydrated skin has little invisible fissures or cracks that allow pollutants to seep in and cause irritation.
Essential Oil - Menthol - Camphor Synergy
The select essential oil blend has a superior synergy that has delivered excellent results in reducing bacteria, painful pus filled cysts, redness, inflammation, and broken capillaries. Helps regulate hormones while controlling bacteria and excess oil production.
MSM
Pine tree bark sourced MSM helps maintain healthy, flexible joints and muscles. MSM is also good for maintaining strong hair and nails, and beautiful skin.
Silk has been the oriental secret to beautiful young skin for centuries. Silk protein and amino acids possess UV ray inhibiting properties, therefore offers natural UV protection as well as controlling melanin build up, help reduce pore size as they protect the skin from dehydration, penetrate the skin to leave a silky smooth feel. Silk amino acids (also called silk proteins and sericin) are obtained by the hydrolysis of silk - a natural protein fiber. The soft lustrous thread obtained from the silk cocoon woven by the silkworm is so converted and used in cosmetic preparations. It gives the skin a very soft and velvety feel when used in a cosmetic product, and has some good water-binding properties and silk amino acids (silk proteins) also has a certain amount of antioxidant action. Silk amino acids (silk proteins) are used to prevent dehydration and is mostly found in eye rejuvenation gels and creams. Superbly soft and shiny, silk is actually an animal fiber spun by the silkworm while it constructs its cocoon. The fiber is similar in structure to the human skin cells, but is also extraordinary strong and resilient. This pure protein cocoon, is made up of amino acids, which is said to reduce the human aging process. In fact top medical practitioners have recommended pure silk pillows as the best option to sleep on as they are so gentle on the skin, will cause the least amount of wrinkling and will protect your hair from splitting.
Witch Hazel is the strongest anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and great skin calmer. Pure witch hazel reduces redness, rashes, itching, swelling, and scaling of skin. Especially recommended for acne, mature, or damaged skin. Heals cracked or blistered skin and is extremely good for soothing eczema and psoriasis. An anti-inflammatory, scar preventative, and is an effective wound wash and antiseptic.
The aloe vera base is 99.7% pure certified organic aloe vera gel and 0.3% thickeners and natural preservatives. Aloe Vera is the organic cold pressed whole leaf liquid that contains over 75 nutrients and 200 active compounds, including 20 minerals, 18 amino acids, and 12 vitamins. A high quality Aloe which uses only the nutritious inner gel, not the outer rind of the leaf, and is one of the most nutritious and best skin care ingredients available.
Hydrosols, also known as floral waters, hydroflorates, flower waters or distillates are produced from steam-distilling plant materials. Hydrosols have similar properties to essential oils but are much less concentrated. Unlike their "essential oil added to water" counterparts, true steam-distilled hydrosols contain all the beneficial components that whole plant materials have to offer.
Hydrosols are usually a by-product of essential oil production, but the highest quality comes from devoted distillers who, with artist-like precision, steam small batches of fresh floral and plant material strictly to produce hydrosol (the hydrosols offered by Mountain Rose Herbs are produced in this fashion). Most of our hydrosols are distilled in copper stills, (a few in stainless steel stills) and processed through certified organic methods in Washington, California and Europe. Hydrosols contain all of the essence of the plant in every drop, just like essential oils but in a milder form; making them suitable for all manner of applications where essential oils would be too strong. In most hydrosols there is less than 5% actual oil. Please note that their aromas are mostly mild and subtle, sometimes bright and fragrant, and most hydrosols have an hereby or grassy note indicative of their authentic and therapeutic properties.
Wonderful as a facial splash, body perfume, deodorant or air freshener. Cool a hot flash, change your mood or add them to lotions and creams.
