The Skin
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Fifteen percent of our total body weight is accounted by skin, and it would measure between 15-20 square feet if stretched out.

The skin is our first line of defense against all the foreign substances and infectious organisms that can affect us. It is responsible for maintaining the correct body temperature and it regulates your body's fluid balance.

The state of the skin reveals our states of health. If allergic to something, often the skin breaks out in a rash. It is important to remember, that the skin is a living part of the body (often called as the 'third kidney') with well-developed and interrelated circulation systems; blood, sweat, sebum, nerve and lymph, any of which can be damaged by absorption of chemicals or enhanced by a good skin care system.

There are several mechanisms for transport across the skin membrane:

Passive diffusion
Penetration between the cells
Penetration across the cells
Penetration via sweat and sebum glands

Active transport
Osmotic pressure differences
Inclusion (the cell membrane bulge inwards and around a molecule)

Factors affecting absorption
The Skin is permeable and can absorb unwanted artificial ingredients and beneficial herbal extracts as well. How fast an ingredient is absorbed depends on the following factors:

· Thickness of the outer layer of the skin
· Concentration of actives (drugs, plant extracts…)
· Surface area
· Hydration of the skin
· The cosmetic base
· Multiple applications

Promoting Skin Absorption
Many molecules in personal skin care products increase the penetration through the skin. However, it would be advantageous if such products were prepared with pure, organic ingredients. Man-made chemicals such as Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) need to be avoided as it dries skin and hair. Ethanol also increases toxin levels in the body by increasing absorption of synthetic chemicals, thus increasing skin sensitivity. Responsible manufacturers avoid the use of ethanol wherever possible.

Our knowledge on how synthetic chemicals affect our bodies, particularly applied to skin is increasing all the time. And the more we realize this, the more we have to learn because previously discounted adverse effects and interactions are now accepted as facts. Therefore it makes sense to take steps to reduce the toxic overload.

Keeping all the factors above in mind Persona® is committed to providing organic skin care solutions that are one hundred percent natural. Persona® does not test on animals and avoids unnecessary synthetic chemicals in products applied to the skin. This is our foundational mission and we want to help more people start using organic products for skin care.
