Amino Acids |
Amino acids are organic compounds that can be combined to help stimulate skin cells, promote cellular repair and hydration, protect the skin and build proteins. |

High Levels of Calcium |
Calcium is a micronutrient that helps regulate sebum and cell turnover, as well as promotes skin regeneration and moisture. |

Trace Minerals |
Trace minerals help the skin pass toxins and metabolic waste. Pearl is abundant in magnesium and potassium which promotes maintaining healthy skin. |
