Nourish your skin with organic ingredients ­ inside and out.


Kale is one of the healthiest foods you can eat and can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will cook it by steaming. The fibre -related components in kale do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed. When this binding process takes place, it's easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw kale still has cholesterol-lowering ability—just not as much.

Kale's risk-lowering benefits for cancer have recently been extended to at least five different types of cancer. These types include cancer of the bladder, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) made from glucosinolates in kale play a primary role in achieving these risk-lowering benefits.

Like most of its fellow cruciferous vegetables, kale has been studied more extensively in relationship to cancer than any other health condition. This research focus makes perfect sense. Kale's nutrient richness stands out in three particular areas: (1) antioxidant nutrients, (2) anti-inflammatory nutrients, and (3) anti-cancer nutrients in the form of glucosinolates. Without sufficient intake of antioxidants, our oxygen metabolism can become compromised, and we can experience a metabolic problem called "oxidative stress." Without sufficient intake of anti-inflammatory nutrients, regulation of our inflammatory system can become compromised, and we can experience the problem of chronic inflammation. Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation—and the combination of these metabolic problems—are risk factors for development of cancer.
Kale is now recognised as providing comprehensive support for the body's detoxification system. New research has shown that the ITCs made from kale's glucosinolates can help regulate detox at a genetic level.

Kale in Skincare.

So it should be no surprise that kale has come to skincare. Hungary-based Éminence Organic Skin Care has just introduced two kale-based products,Eminence skincare is organic from seed to Jar.




Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Masque and Serum.

The lutein in kale is a particularly powerful skin care ingredient. As a carotenoid, lutein protects against UV-induced free radicals, improves skin hydration, and elasticity
The mask and serum also have vitamin C (for elasticity), vitamin E (which has an has anti-inflammatory effect), and lemon and grapefruit to tone and protect against free radical damage.
Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum. Fast-absorbing, advanced serum for all skin types. This potent dose of non-irritating Vitamin C is stabilised by botanically-derived ferulic acid to deliver optimal antioxidant benefits and improve the appearance of skin.
Kale is rich in vitamin A. As you know, your skin requires a healthy dose of Vitamin A.
A diet lacking in Vitamin A can lead to dry and flaky skin.Vitamin A plays a pivotal role in repairing the tissues underneath your skin and prevents damage caused by free radicals.
Kale is rich in vitamin K.Vitamin K serves as a powerful ingredient in many skin care products as it helps to get rid of tiresome dark circles under your eyes.
Kale is rich in Vitamin C: Vitamin C too helps reduce damage caused by free radicals, which is mostly likely to occur when your skin is overexposed to the sun.In other words, Vitamin C helps prevent premature aging of the skin and helps you stay younger-looking for a longer period of time.
Hair Benefits of Kale: Omega Fatty Acids: Besides its rich vitamin content, kale is also known to be packed with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.
Your hair benefits immensely when you drink a glass of kale juice every day because of the combination of these two fatty acids.
If you have a problem with breaking hair, you should consider incorporating kale juice into your daily diet. It is best to take it in the morning at breakfast. You will notice a change in the elasticity of your hair. Besides strengthening your hair roots, the benefits of kale also includes improving the blood circulation in your scalp.

Kale is a good source of dietary fibre which improves the digestive action and bowel movements. This can prove extremely beneficial for people having digestion issues.


 Skin receives the least nutrition in comparison to the other organs since it’s the organ that is the furthest from the bloodstream.A lack of real nourishment and stress can both lead to premature ageing long term.
