montana is endemic to Europe, from southern Iberia to southern
Scandinavia and the Carpathians. It is absent from the British Isles
and the Italian and Balkan peninsulas. Arnica montana grows in
nutrient-poor silcaceous meadows up to nearly 3,000 m. It is generally
rare, but may be locally abundant. It is becoming rarer, particularly
in the northern part of where it occures, largely due to increasingly
intensive agriculture. In more upland regions, it may also be found on
nutrient-poor moors and heaths.



2. Avocado Oil CLR

Dosage: 5.0-10.0%

INCI Name: Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil



The oil of avocado
consists of glycerides of essential fatty acids as well as palmitoleic

phytosterols as constituents of the unsaponifiable matter, as well as
vitamins A, E, and D. Suitable for protective care of dry, scaly skin
and scalp. Avocado Oil CLR leaves a pleasant, non-oily feeling on the
skin. Contains a natural tocopherol concentrate as antioxidant.



Avocado Oil is
obtained from the pulp of Persea americana Miller (Lauraceae) and then
subjected to a refining precess. The avocado tree, native to Central
America, was already described by the Spaniards when they discovered
the American continent. The name of the berry (not stone fruit) comes
from the Aztec word "ahuacatl". Today this evergreen tree, which grows
to up to 15 m, is located mainly in the Mediterranean region, southern
USA, and in the south of Africa.



The pear-shaped
fruit weights up to 1.5 kg and fully ripens not at the tree but after
being picked. The right point of time for harvesting can be determined
from the color of the fruit or by measuring its fat content. When
dried, the avocado fruit has an oil content of 40-80%.

a vegetable oil medium. The calendula blossoms are gently disintegrated
and extracted with soybean oil (GMO-free). Gentle processing preserves
the essential oils which are responsible for the herbal odor of

is recommended for use in skin care products designed for dry, rough,
chapped, fissured, and stressed skin. Due to its excellent skin
