The power of Stone Crop



This beautiful plant is the main ingredient in my new project I am doing at work. Every month I am doing a "Nichole's Product Pick" where I feature my favorite skin care product. As my followers from Indiana may already know because I have such an affinity for this plant, I have chosen the Stone Crop collection before. The stone crop is known by many names, two of which are Sedum or Hens and Chicks. These powerful little beauties are full of healing power and have been used for centuries as a healing plant. Not only are they healing but they also have the ability to help your skin retain vital moisture. Think of it as Aloe but much more powerful. In conjunction with healing and hydrating power, this plant also has what is called tyrosinase inhibitors. Without getting too wordy, tyrosinase is an enzyme that is one of the stimulants of melanin production. A tyrosinase inhibitor "inhibits" the production of melanin, helping fight the development of hyperpigmentation or what is commonly known as sun spots or age spots. So now you see why I absolutely love and believe in the Stone Crop Collection in the Eminence line. It hydrates, it heals, and it fights hyperpigmentation....with the power of organic mother nature.
My current Nichole's Product Pick is the Stone Crop Gel Wash. This wonderful cleanser gently removes impurites and surface build-up on the skin without over stripping your vital moisture. This is very important, especially this time of year when humidity is lower and the environment is harsh. It has a beautiful fresh scent and will make your skin clean and soft. It is perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive skin because along with the other properties I have listed, the Stone Crop plant is an anti-irritant. The only client I caution to use this product are those with tree nut allergies as it does have Shea Butter in it and Shea Butter is a derivative from the nut of the African Shea Tree (Vitellaria paradoxa).
