    Next Generation Nighttime Refining Moisturizer

    NEW FORMULA, NEW PACKAGING

    We are so very excited to introduce to our clients our Next Generation Nighttime Refining Moisturizer. This formula contains patent-pending anti-aging technology that targets and helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
    Our patent-pending Copper Nucleotide System contains Copper, Manganese and Zinc, three very important trace metals that are absolutely necessary for the optimal functioning of enzymes and for maintenance of youthful skin.

    Sedona Spa's lead chemist, Dr. Shyam Gupta, describes this technology and why it is critical for an aging population.

    "Visible signs of aging become most evident from its effects on the skin. The passage of time is reflected in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by a slackening of tissue, loss of cutaneous elasticity, a leathery or dry appearance, the yellowing of skin which becomes duller and loses its radiance and the appearance of age spots."

    "Skin that has been consistently exposed to sunlight throughout life may show pigmentation marks and a loss of elasticity. The aging process also results in thinning and deterioration of the skin. Copper, Manganese, and Zinc are very important for the control of the aging process."

    "There are over 30 essential body enzymes that require copper. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is one such copper dependent enzyme that is most important from the viewpoint of skin aging and inflammation. As the production of SOD slows down with age, the process of aging accelerates. The activation and accelerated production of SOD is critical in the control of the aging process and maintenance of youthful skin. Although copper is the heart of the SOD enzyme and essential for its activity, SOD and other copper-dependent enzymes also require manganese and zinc in trace levels as promoter/accelerator factors."

    "Our patent-pending technology provides a complete answer to anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, age spot reduction and skin elasticity enhancement needs of the modern consumer in one complete package. For the next generation products, trace metal (Copper, Manganese and Zinc) derivatives of certain nucleotides and glycosides have been developed. Nucleotides and Glycosides function as transporters of such metals from the surface layers of skin into the deeper layers of skin."

    "In addition, ingredients to provide storage of copper in a harmless bound state (once copper has reached upper layers of skin and entered the living cells), and the ingredients to help transport of bound copper from storage area to the center of the SOD enzyme are also included. It must be mentioned here that copper, manganese, and zinc must be in certain specific proportions relative to each other. Just adding some copper, manganese, and zinc to a formulation in wrong proportions does not provide full benefits. Our patent pending formula provides these trace metals in their correct ratio for maximum benefits."

    "It is clearly evident that our technology reaches well beyond copper peptides and manganese gluconate based products popular in the marketplace today to provide anti-aging, anti-oxidant and superoxide dismutase (SOD) promoting benefits," concludes Dr. Gupta.

    We have added Saguaro Flower Extract, Japanese Green Tea, Shea Butter and powerful Vitamins to our Nighttime Refining Moisturizer to create a product you will celebrate with for years to come!

    Our new packaging of Nighttime Refining Moisturizer includes an airless pump dispenser, the latest technology for the ultimate in maintaining product purity. Sedona Spa's Nighttime Refining Moisturizer is for all skin types and retails for $34.95. The airless pump contains 2.0 oz. of product and comes boxed.

    This high performance nighttime treatment complements our Firming Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream, also created with the patent pending Copper Nucleotide System and Matrixyl 3000, a fabulous anti-aging system.

    Botanical of the Quarter - Japanese Green Tea
    Japanese green tea

    (Camellia oleifera and Camellia sinesis)

    The tea shrub has been cultivated from time immemorial in Japan, China and Indonesia. These evergreen shrubs and small trees are found in forests, thickets, banks of streams and foothills at elevations of 500-1300 meters. Site requirements include sun to partial shade and this shrub prefers acidic, moist, well-drained soil high in organic matter.

    The full-grown tea leaf is from 5 to 10 cm long, dark green in color, glossy on the upper surface, elliptical in outline and blunt at the top, tapering at the base into a short stalk. The margins of the leaves are serrated and when quite young are covered with silky hairs. These hairs are lost as the leaves mature.

    Single, white or pink, fragrant flowers are produced in late winter and this small tree may reach a height of 20 feet with thin, upright, multiple trunks and branches.

    Green tea is an excellent anti-oxidant source and is utilized in various sun care products, shampoos, hair products, lotions and facial creams.

    You will find Camellia oleifera in our Nighttime Refining Moisturizer and Camellia sinesis in our Gold Shaping Gel. Pamper yourself with these wonderful anti-oxidant products today!
