Fulvic acid has been called the “miracle molecule” because it penetrates the skin quite well on its own, without a need for microencapsulation, esterification, or liposomal delivery systems.

Mud masques and mud baths have been used all over the world for hundreds of years. In fact, they were one of the earliest substances to be used as a cosmetic product. Engravings from the times of the Greeks and Romans depict people bathing in mud and applying mud to their faces. Peloid therapy is one of the oldest natural cures known to mankind, and to the animal kingdom in general. Over the last few years, medicinal muds became a focus of microbiome research. 

THERAPEUTIC PEAT MUD

Peatlands in the world amount to only 3% of the land coverage which is about 3 million square miles. The peat in the world’s peat lands has been forming for 360 million years. The concentration of antioxidants in the peat soil was also found to be the highest in the entire world. Peat is part of the Finnish folk tradition treatments. One of the famous examples of peat's ability to preserve the human skin is Tollund peat bog man which was preserved in an unbelievable state in a peat bog for thousands of years without any additional preservation.

Peat originates in swamp, where it has been naturally developed during hundreds of years. Finnish nature is unique due to its short summers with long days and long winters with freezing temperatures. Therefore the plants have a short but intense growth sea- son and due to high proton content, they are much richer in nutrients than plants grown elsewhere. These plants have been naturally macerated by microbial action resulting in high concentration of active substances. Hundreds of herbs, flowers and plants undergoing the extraordinary chemical transformation by biological degradation of organic materials through biochemical processes are now replenishing the peat. Over 1,300 natural, organic plant enzymes, bio-minerals, trace elements, amino acids, plant hormones and fatty acids and vitamins have been identified within the mud that is easier for the human skin to absorb. Think of it as a plant extract not from just one plant, but from hundreds. And unlike other muds, it contains virtually no clay.
