Glycerin
Glycerin is perhaps the most common water-soluble humectant used in skin care. Humectants are substances that attract water particles that bind to pores. Glycerin is extremely effective in helping the skin retain its moisture content which means that it not only can help with dry skin conditions, but also promotes beautiful healthy-looking skin through cleansing and hydrating.  Castor Oil
For thousands of years, castor oil has been used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions. Its high content of fatty acids is believed to be responsible for its remarkable healing properties. Oyster shell powder
Native Mexican women of past generations believed strongly in the miraculous rejuvenating effects of oyster shell powder which they used for skin whitening, treating spots, blemishes, scars, removing impurities, cleansing pores and bringing about a more youthful appearance. Many doctors who practice natural medicine believe that calcium and other valuable minerals and amino acids from oyster shell powder can be absorbed through the skin. They have found that this powder, when applied externally, speeds the skin’s natural metabolism so that it can perform the many functions mentioned above. |

Our Perlop Concha Nacar creams contain oyster shell powder and have demonstrated for more than 70 years their efficacy in lightening the skin, reducing scars, spots, blemishes and overall beautifying the skin. Bees Wax
Bees Wax serves as a firming agent, emulsifier and protective lubricant. It coats the skin, stays in place and thus helps prevent the loss of water and dehydration. Lanolin
Lanolin is an emollient extracted from the wool of sheep. It acts as a natural barrier against the loss of water and also as a softener of the external skin layer by means of lubricating and smoothing. Cocoa Butter
Cocoa Butter is extracted from the dried seeds of the cocoa tree. It is used to make creams because of its softening and soothing properties. It provides relief for chapped hands and lips, and is also ideal for dry skin. |
