Why Ingredients Matter.
Our skin is our largest organ. We should care for what goes on our body was much as what goes in our body. At Prep U, we are committed to producing clean products that are truly all-natural.
What is all-natural?
There can be some confusion about what all-natural means. When Prep U says natural, we mean ingredients that are clean, free from chemicals that disrupt hormones, synthetic substances, artificial colors, carcinogens, neurotoxins. Especially for a growing boy, avoid any ingredients that begins with Ethyl, Methyl, Butyl, Propyl, Tricolosan, Chloro, Phenol, Irgansan. Or fragrances and dyes such as: DEHP, DHP, DBP 5, Dibutyl Phthalate, Blue 1, Green 3, Yellow 5&6 and Red 33.
Coconut Oil
Most any skin can find great benefit from coconut oil. For battles against acne, congested pores and irritation, coconut oil can come to the rescue as it is naturally antibacterial – helping kill fungi, yeasts and bacteria. And an extra bonus, it heals damaged skin as it promotes the production of collagen and the generation of new skin cells.
Shea Butter
A high concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids makes Shea Butter an excellent daily moisturizer for face and body. It also smoothes skin as it aids in the collagen production and contains the right acids that protect and nourish skin to prevent drying. Those with acne benefit as it also acts as an anti-inflammatory.
Activated Charcoal.
Our secret agent has been used for centuries. The science of charcoal is incredible. The key is absorption. It’s micro-particles are negatively charged – attracting bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and oils.This all-natural wonder works as a remarkable cleanser as it exfoliates to remove dead skin, helping achieve a flawless complexion and smooth skin to fight acne without the over-drying of common skin care.
Bentonite clay
An odorless, non-staining healing clay that carries a strong negative charge, which attracts and binds to positively charged toxins to provide a detoxifying effect.
Arrowroot
Arrowroot powder is light, soft and absorbent. It helps to balance pH levels within the body and enables other natural, active ingredients to penetrate the upper levels of your skin. It will make skin silkier and smoother as it softens by aiding your skin’s ability to absorb moisture.
