Immunity-boosting

Elderberry Juice naturally supports a healthy immune system and has been shown to inhibit cold and flu duration and severity because of its antiviral and antibacterial properties. Studies have also shown that it can shorten the duration of severe upper respiratory symptoms, which are commonly experienced by air travelers. Elderberry Juice promotes a healthy cardiovascular system and therefore can enhance athletic performance. It also aids in healthy aging and in reducing inflammation.

Our organic Elderberry Juice comes from premium quality berries grown on 450 cooperative farms in Austria. By summer’s end, the clusters turn to red-violet stalks laden with drooping bunches of dark, juicy berries. In the fall they are entirely hand harvested to ensure all berries are picked at peak ripeness. Our concentrated Elderberry Juice is extracted using IPT, which is a completely physical, solvent-free separation, concentration and enrichment ultra-filtration process. This proprietary process has the advantage of retaining the fruit matrix, taste and aroma profile. The extracts are standardized to a minimum anthocyanin content of 3.2%. Sustainably grown and processed.

Emollient, Humectant

Vegetable Glycerin is a natural humectant which acts as an emollient in many skincare applications. Its moisturization properties support the healing of dry skin and improves skin elasticity, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. Vegetable Glycerin is noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog pores, and is safe for all skin types, even acne-prone skin. It helps protect the skin from environmental impurities and strengthens the skin’s moisture barrier. Vegetable Glycerin also aids in the efficacy of our throat spray by optimizing its lubricating benefits while contributing a natural sweetness.

Our Vegetable Glycerin is ethically and sustainably produced from non-GMO flax seeds. It is completely palm free and is a superior, vegan, pharmaceutical quality glycerin that meets USP standards. It is carefully produced, packaged and stored to maintain the purity, freshness, humectant and other beneficial properties of this versatile product. Vegetable Glycerin is the result of a sophisticated extraction method called hydrolysis, with the final product being referred to as vegetable glycerine. This system is based on the fats and oils of a raw product that are then split into crude glycerol fats, under the combined action of water, temperature, and pressure. These temperatures can exceed 400° degrees and the material is usually kept under pressure for 20-30 minutes. After this, phase this glycerol is isolated and further distilled to result in a standard 99% pure glycerine product.

Ginger has bioactive compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties that provide relief while soothing sore throats. Ginger also has antimicrobial properties that can help combat viral and bacterial infections and inhibit pathogens that cause sore throats. It also stimulates the immune system to kill viruses such as common colds, the flu, and mononucleosis. Ginger may be an alternative to antibiotics for fighting bacterial infections and may improve recovery time.

Our organic ginger is harvested in India. Ginger root powder is prepared from the rhizome Zingiber officinale. The rhizomes are plucked from the ground and washed. The green ginger is soaked and then the skin is carefully scraped off. After its washed again, the ginger is dried in the sun on bamboo mats for 3-4 days and then milled into a fine powder. The yield of dry ginger is 15-25 percent of the fresh ginger depending upon the variety and location where the crop is grown.

Lemon also contains antioxidants which help detoxify the digestive system and has alkaline properties that help balance the body’s pH level.

Our organic lemons are grown and harvested in Spain.They are hand-picked while they are still green, and they ripen and turn yellow while they are being transported to the production facility. After the fruit has been delivered to the processing plant, it is washed and graded. Juice is extracted then separated from the rag, seeds, and ruptured juice sacs in a process known as finishing. They are concentrated in special evaporators utilizing low temperature evaporation and then freeze dried to maintain all the vitamins and phytonutrients.

Meluka Honey has significant antibacterial benefits which help heal and soothe sore throats and coughs. Its strong anti-microbial properties come from the bioactive properties of the tea tree and help the body fight free radicals and prevent infection. Meluka Honey can also serve as a healthier alternative to sugar and aids in digestion.

Our Meluka Honey is produced by bees harvesting at old growth Tea Tree plantation, Jendale. The hives are never moved or transported to ensure our honey stays consistent with integrity of the environment. Our organic raw honey is produced by bees harvesting on Jenbrook, a Certified Organic Tea Tree farm in Australia. Jenbrook backs up to protected rainforest wetlands and the birthplace of our wild-crafted Melaleuca Alternifolia Tea Trees which have been growing for over 30,000 years. Jenbrook's protected rainforest plays a vital role in our thriving bees producing honey that is superior in both taste and quality. Jendale is home to other botanical species including Leptospermum (Jelly Bush), Eucalyptus and Australian Wildflowers. The honey is produced almost year round (with the exception of winter) and is likely to contain a combination of all these botanical species. While honey harvesting has faced much scrutiny in recent years, the fact remains that bees aren’t used as substrates for testing or raw materials in cosmetics, nor are they exterminated for their honey. Worldwide, bees are not harmed in the farming process. They are kept in optimal conditions where they can thrive and are never harmed in the harvesting of our honey. It is not in beekeepers’ best interest to harm their bees as the bees are essential to their livelihood. In some developing areas, entire villages depend on the income from honey trade. Our responsible sourcing promotes pure, cruelty-free honey, and beekeeper safety. Sustainably processed.

Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant

Turmeric Root is a potent anti-inflammatory because of its active ingredient, curcumin. Turmeric also seeks out and destroys harmful free radicals in the body that can cause long-term damage. Turmeric and curcumin have been found to prevent the growth and spread of harmful cells at a molecular level. It helps boost the immune system and cleanse the respiratory tract.

Our Organic turmeric root powder is prepared from the rhizome Curcuma longa that have been selected, washed, cleaned, cut, dried and milled to a fine powder. Turmeric belongs to the Zingiberaceae family- the same family as ginger. It is the rhizome or the root that is used. The turmeric plant grows from the rhizome which are extracted from the ground and then washed and cleaned thoroughly. The rhizomes are boiled in water and kept for sun-drying. Within 2-3 days of sun drying, the rhizomes are again boiled with just enough water to soak them, just until the rhizomes become soft. Once cooked, these rhizomes are spread under the sun on a cement floor or bamboo mat to dry. This step takes 10-15 days. The dried turmeric is then polished, by hand or by rotating barrel, to improve the appearance. They get polished by mutual rubbing against each other. After this, the rhizomes are ground into powder.

Sorbic acid is a natural, straight-chained fatty acid

Throat Spray

Preservative, Antimicrobial, Antifungal

Sorbic acid is a food preservative which protects many food varieties from yeast and mold spoilage. It is an organic compound, with naturally strong antimicrobial capabilities and is commonly used in cosmetic and dietary supplements.

Sorbic acid gets its name from Sorbus aucuparia (rowan or mountain ash tree), because it is derived from the unripe berries of the tree. Our ash berry trees grow in Germany and the berries are best harvested after a sharp frost which starts off the bletting process and begins to break down the cell walls. Ideally the berries should be bletted, this is a process whereby the fruit is allowed to ripen beyond its current ripened state, leading to an increase in fruit sugars and beginning the process of breaking down the parasorbic acid and tannins. Ash berries contain naturally parasorbic acid which was first isolated through extraction. Once picked, the berries are crushed, then leached with water to produce a reddish juice, which is concentrated to syrup after evaporation. Parasorbic acid is separated from the syrup by steam distillation in the presence of acid.
