KOSMEA for Healthy Beautiful Skin

Ciao bella,

At Kosmea beauty and health are very much linked with nature. They have turned away from using harmful synthetic ingredients and followed ancient cultures where plant oils and herbal extracts were used to care for skin at a time when a host of skin ailments were unknown.

An abundance of modern skincare lines contain harsh synthetic ingredients which can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, itchy, and sensitive.

Kosmea's rose hip oil is so close to the oils our skin produces naturally. The rose hips (fruit skin and seed containing a high content of the antioxidant lycopene) are extracted from a certified organic source from a region where an abundance of rainfall makes the rose hips plumper, richer, and juicier. Then a super critical extraction process which is heat-free and solvent-free is used so their rose hip oil stays just as nature intended. Kosmea does not bleach, color, or deodorize the oil to make it more commercially attractive as this frequent and familiar process would deplete the natural goodness of the oil.

Certified 100 percent organic rose hip oil on its own has been proven to be an effective treatment to help

• even out skin tone improving skin texture;
• smooth wrinkles;
• nourish and rehydrate skin;
• balance and harmonize oily skin; and
• promote a healthy and glowing complexion.

And it's safe for babies.

Kosmea rose hip oil is the key ingredient in their product range and when combined with their other natural skincare ingredients delivers the health and beauty just as nature intended.

This super-light easily absorbed treatment oil is like a multivitamin for your skin and claims two new and proven benefits:

• strengthens nails and
• nourishes dry damaged hair.

You will see and feel noticeable results with Kosmea's affordable Discover Kit (two to three week sampling) and a bottle of Kosmea Rose Hip Oil! Don't wait another minute for healthy skin.

Buona giornata and God bless the United States of America!
