The 4 ‘skin vitamins’, what they do for you & where to find them!
Vitamins. We take them in tablet-form for the health of our internal organs, but what about our largest, external organ – our skin? These vitamins can also be applied topically, and can work wonders for a whole host of skin conditions. So what are the all-important ‘skin vitamins’, and why should you include them in your skin care regime?
Vitamin E
Arguably the most widely-toted as a skin vitamin, Vitamin E is well recognised as an antioxidant, and can help to protect the skin from toxins such as air pollution and ultraviolet radiation. Its antioxidant properties mean it enhances immune system functioning, and helps to fight free radicals. Vitamin E is commonly used as a treatment for scars, thanks to its ability to aid the skin’s natural healing process.
Where can I get it?!

Vitamin C
Also a potent antioxidant, our second skin vitamin offers a multitude of benefits when applied topically, including its abilities to promote healing and reduce sun damage, encourage the synthesis of collagen, and reduce inflammation and hyperpigmentation.
Where can I get it?!

The Little Alchemist Ultra-C Radiance Serum, $56.00
Vitamin A
Vitamin A has been widely researched as a treatment for acne, and in the form of retinol, it appears to increase the production of certain skin components, namely procollagen and gycosaminoglycan. These compounds retain water and help to form new skin cells. It has also been found effective against UV damage, and as a treatment for psoriasis.
Where can I get it?!
The Little Alchemist Anti-Aging Defense Complex, $78
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a ‘steroid vitamin’, which means it encourages the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous. For this reason, Vitamin D is incredibly important for our health, especially bone health. It also helps to regulate the immune system, and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Where can I get it?!
From the sun! Experts recommend at least 10-15 minutes of sun exposure twice a week on the face, arms, hands and back in order to maintain optimum Vitamin D levels. For more information on this, see this informative article from Medical News Today.
Vitamin D can also be taken in tablet-form, and is found in high amounts in oily fish, cheese and egg yolks.

Ingredient Focus: Amla Fruit
This week we’re so excited about the effects of amla fruit on our skin & hair that we thought we ought to do a feature on it!
Amla fruit is also referred to as the ‘Indian Gooseberry’, and looks very much like a gooseberry in appearance – the fruit of the amla tree are small round berries, pale green in colour.
Amla fruit is a potent source of vitamin C, and contains 20 x the amount found in oranges. Wow. The amla fruit is a natural tonic, and can be helpful in the treatment of a number of diseases. It flushes out toxins, promotes healthy brain functioning and even aids in fertility!
Lucky for us ladies, it’s also a wonderful hair treatment, whether used in its powdered or oil form, and helps to promote scalp health, hair strength and growth. Used as a powder on hair, it naturally conditions, freshens and slightly darkens. The perfect dry shampoo for all you brunettes!
It doesn’t stop there. Amla fruit is highly nourishing for the skin. It’s balancing, toning and naturally brightening, so it’s fantastic for uneven skin tone, dry patches or dullness. Anyone can use amla fruit on their skin and see the benefits – whether your skin is oily, dry or acne-prone, amla fruit can help to soothe, clear and brighten it.
Amla fruit powder is one of the main ingredients in our gorgeous Raw Gaia Raw Chocolate face pack, along with organic raw chocolate powder (the highest known source of antioxidants in the world), sunbaked red clay (fantastic for freshening and drawing out impurities), and tumeric – a known acne fighter.
After just one use with this beautiful face pack, not only will the delicious scent of chocolate have lifted your spirits, but you’ll notice your skin looks clearer and brighter, and feels noticeably smoother.
(Yes, it really is that quick! We’ve tried it!)
So – get your fix of Amla fruit and start noticing the difference in your skin, hair and overall ‘glow’! You can find our gorgeous Raw Gaia Raw Chocolate Face Pack here at Eve Organics.
