Stretch Mark Cream "Key Ingredients"-

Why Is Our Formula Different?
Ingredients!  It's all about ingredients and how they are combined together.  Any formula is only as good as the key ingredients it contains, the percentage of each key ingredient it contains and the way in which the ingredients are delicately and precisely combined together. 

Our formula contains very high amounts of Emu Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Collagen, Elastin and Vitamin E - which make up the first five ingredients in our formula. These five ingredients along with other selected "key" ingredients listed below are perfectly balanced in our cream to treat old stretch marks and help prevent new ones from forming.

Key Ingredients - No Water Added!
Our formula isn't diluted with water making it highly concentrated.  In fact, our formula contains no water at all -- so a little goes a long way.  We use pure Aloe Vera instead of water.   You use about half the amount as you would with some other creams on the market.

Some of our Key Ingredients Include:  Emu Oil, Aloe Vera Gel, Collagen, Elastin, Vitamin E, DMAE, Vitamin K1, Lecithin (Liposomes), Glycolic Acid, Vitamin A, Coenzyme Q10, Grape Seed Extract and Vitamin B.

Our cream is created using high-quality, pharmaceutical grade ingredients designed to address skin repair problems from the inside - out.    Yet, it is very gentle and highly concentrated helping to produce incredible results safely and quickly.

Key Ingredients List:
The following descriptions are not the opinion of our Company, Stretch Renew, nor any person employed by the above.  The information was compiled from data provided freely from the Cosmetics Industry.  The information below is not intended for use to prevent, treat or cure any diseases. 

Emu Oil:   This oil not only penetrates the outer layer of skin quickly and effectively, but goes even further by penetrating the second layer of skin (the dermis).   Emu Oil also reportedly enhances the body's own healing abilities.

Emu oil has been shown to have the following 5 important qualities:  Deep Penetrating - Emulsifying - Non-Comodegenic - Non-irritating -   Highly Moisturizing.

It is very gentle and doesn't irritate the skin.    It also reportedly helps to stimulate new skin cells and reduce wrinkles and sagging.

Aloe Vera Gel:   Considered an effective healing agent for the treatment of (sun)burns and injuries.  Aloe vera has potent anti-inflammatory, healing, hydrating and soothing properties.  It is used to counteract wrinkles and reportedly has skin softening benefits.

Collagen:   Collagen is a natural protein within body tissues. As human skin ages, our own soluble collagen becomes less flexible and our skin's connective tissue loses its ability to retain moisture naturally.

Elastin:  This protein is responsible for the elasticity of body tissues, more specifically, the skin.  Elastin reportedly also helps to alleviate the effects of dry skin.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a major anti-oxidant nutrient.  It is reported that it helps retard cellular aging due to oxidation, aids in bringing nourishment to cells and strengthens the capillary walls. Vitamin E helps protect the skin from environmental damage caused by free radicals.

DMAE:  DMAE reportedly has skin smoothing and tightening effects.

Vitamin K:  Reportedly helps to reduce the appearance of spider veins as well as having other skin nourishing benefits.

Lecithin:  A natural phospholipid with anti-oxidant, emulsifying and emollient properties.  It helps protect and soften the skin and replenish the acid mantle.  It is a valuable natural emulsifier used in many cosmetic products.

Liposomes:  Microscopic spheres manufactured from natural or synthetic fatty substances that include phospholipids (components of cell membranes). Phospholipids can trap any substance that will dissolve in water or oil.  Liposomes act like a delivery system, depositing product ingredients into the skin. When the liposomes "break apart", the ingredients, such as moisturizers, are released.

Glycolic Acid: Hydroxyacetic acid found in young plants and green fruits. This acid helps reduce the build up of excess dead skin cells. Mainly derived from sugar cane juice, it is also used to adjust the pH in products.  Glycolic acid is thought to be the most effective exfoliant of all the alpha hydroxy acids. It penetrates the skin very effectively because of its small molecules. 

Vitamin A:   Helps maintain smooth and soft skin.  Helps to improve skin elasticity, moisture content and suppleness.   Also has exfoliating and skin strengthening properties.

Coenzyme Q10:   CoQ10 is an antioxidant.  It reportedly helps neutralize harmful free radicals, which are one of the causes of aging. Thus, CoQ10 may boost skin repair and regeneration and reduce free radical damage. Furthermore, CoQ10 is a small molecule that can relatively easily penetrate into skin cells.

Grape Seed Extract: An excellent anti-oxidant and rich source of proanthocyanidins, a flavonoid type molecule that protects capillary walls and inhibits enzymes that breaks down collagen and elastin. Grape Seed extract helps Vitamin C enter the body's cells, thus strengthening the cell membranes, and protecting the cells from oxidative damage. Research has shown that proanthocyanidins (bioflavonoids) serve as major free radical scavengers. The proanthocyandins possess up to 50 times stronger antioxidant activity than Vitamin C & E, Beta-Carotene or Selenium.   Proanthocyanidins also help promote tissue elasticity, restore collagen and improve peripheral circulation.

Pantothenic Acid (Panthenol, Provitamin B5): Acts as a penetrating moisturizer helping to smooth the skin and strengthen nails.
