Prickly Pear Cactus Seed Oil

All below elements occur naturally in Barie. Some beauty products are chemically infused with fatty acids and list below acids as ingredients, as they are not good for you and for your skin. Our skin cells are smart and love good stuff and are able to differentiate between natural and synthetic and react much better to the naturally-derived micro-elements.

Barie is packed with Vitamin E. To obtain optimal health benefits from vitamin E, a mixture of tocopherols (Vitamine E compounds) - (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) and tocotrienols (alpha, beta, delta, and gamma) are required.Barie consists of the following combination of highly potent Vitamin E compounds and fatty acids: alpha, beta, delta and gamma tocopherols and fatty acids - Linoleic, Palmitic, Oleic, and Stearic. Some of the functions of these vitamin E fractions are similar while others are completely different. When taken together, these various forms of vitamin E work synergistically as a team to provide maximum benefits.

Tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds):

13.9% Alpha-Tocopherolα-Tocopherol is a type of vitamin E. It has E number "E307". Vitamin E exists in eight different forms, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. All feature a chromane ring, with a hydroxyl group that can donate a hydrogen atom to reduce free radicals and a hydrophobic side chain which allows for penetration into biological membranes. Compared to the others, α-tocopherol is preferentially absorbed and accumulated in humans. Alpha-Tocopherol is most powerful of tocopherols or Vitamin E (most powerful natural antioxidant).

81.9% Gamma-TocopherolGamma-Tocopherol has a unique function. Because of its different chemical structure, gamma-tocopherol scavenges reactive nitrogen species, which, like reactive oxygen species, can damage proteins, lipids, and DNA. While alpha tocopherol inhibits the production of new free radicals, gamma tocopherol is required to trap and neutralize existing free radicals.It is now recognized that gamma tocopherol, like alpha tocopherol, is retained in the body and delivered to tissues. Gamma tocopherol has superior anti-inflammatory and gene regulatory activities, while alphatocopherol remains a potent antioxidant.

3.0% Beta-TocopherolBeta-Tocopherol is less powerful antioxidant than Alpha and Gamma, but critical for the combination of antioxidant elements necessary to provide full benefit for your skin.

1.2% Delta-TocopherolDelta-Tocopherol – another antioxidant, important for the combination and efficacy of the other ones that are part of Barie composition.

Fatty Acids:

73.4% Linoleic acidLinoleic acid – is a fatty acid, and a very popular ingredient in beauty products due to its beneficial properties for skin. Linoleic acid is used as topical applications to prevent/fight inflammation, treat acne, and for moisture retention. However, chemically reproduced linoleic acid does not provide the same benefits and does not get same wonderful response from the skin cells as the natural, 100% active linoleic acid in Barie.12.0% Palmitic acidPalmitic acid is a fatty acid that helps reinforce skin’s healthy barrier function for a smoother surface; as we age, we can lose over half of this body lipid, which is quite necessary to maintain healthy skin.8.8% Oleic acidOleic acid is an Omega 9 fatty acid, which is a powerful antioxidant; it also helps strengthen cell membrane and repair cell and tissue damage. Topical application of oil that contains oleic acid produces soft, supple skin that glows with health. You can grow thicker and stronger hair when you treat it with prickly seed oil or other oils that contain oleic acid.5.8% Stearic acidStearic acid helps skin retain moisture and stay flexible while helping with skin damage repair.

Castor Oil is frequently overlooked in skincare and yet it is a perfect staple for both hair and skin.

Uses of Barie Oil

Here is how Nicole from Appoise Spa uses Katari Black Castor Oil. "Castor Oil is something that is sometimes overlooked for skincare treatment, but when someone is getting a chemical peel or an aggressive skincare treatment, I always recommend using a thick and skin friendly oil to help skin repair itself. Outside of this, we always recommend to use Castor Oil on any burns or cuts. We also encourage our clients who want more natural products for their eyebrow thickness to use Castor Oil. 

Castor and Henna Oils are more natural for the skin because of the color that they hold naturally. Our skin tones are more golden in color, including darker skinned persons, therefore, you want to steer clear of oils that are not golden in color. The skin will not asborb oils that are not golden-based.
