This serum is an advanced repair and antioxidant serum that will help with anti-aging and much more. Telomeres are important because they extend the life of skin cells. Unfortunately, as we age, we accumulate toxins, free radicals, and chemicals in our skin, which damage the telomeres, causing the telomeres to shorten. Resveratrol helps extend these telomeres by increasing telomerase activity in the skin. We have also included powerful antioxidants, pomegranate (in 3 forms - oil, Co2, and extract), Grapeseed Extract, and Glutathione (a critical component of our skin's ability to detoxify and get rid of environmental pollutants and toxins). We are so excited about this serum, and we hope you love it and give us feedback too! :)
Method of Application Apply generously to face and neck 1-2 x per day.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Products and Ingredients
Finished Products generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should always be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months) and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (except our Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of high humidity, heat, and direct light, and keep them in a dark cabinet when possible.
Exfoliating Acid products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or the Salicylic Acid Serums as those can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items Requiring Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier Oils - generally you can refrigerate all carrier oils although some of the very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, setting the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shaking the bottle will hopefully turn into a liquid. ^There are some oils that have a super long shelf life like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil. Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt. Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should always be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare' butters. You can take out what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents from each herb. Root, Trunk, Leaves, and Flowers. Extracts have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place) Other Various Raw Ingredients - i.e. Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Glutathione healing, encourages healthy cell development
it is the major antioxidant produced by the body. Antioxidants such as vitamins C or E cannot be made by your body and in fact could not work properly if glutathione were not present.
Our immune systems depend on a steady supply of glutathione. Without it, our immune defenses become weakened.
It is important in detoxifying many substances including heavy metals, breakdown products of cigarettes and automobile exhaust, many cancer-causing agents, and a multitude of pollutants and toxins we encounter on a daily basis.
The major source of energy produced in our cells is derived from tiny structures called mitochondria. These mitochondria would literally burn up without the presence of glutathione. From: What is Glutahione?

All Trans-resveratrol
Importance of Resveratrol - extends telomeres in skin DNA - very effective anti-oxidant which helps to fight free radical skin damage - packed with vitamins and minerals - skin food in the form of phytonutrients [proanthocynidin] - typically fights carcinogens - inhibitor of enzyme oxidative activity
