Vitamin E.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, which helps in the prevention of cancer. It improves circulation and is necessary in tissue repair. It has healing properties, reduces scaring and is beneficial in promoting overall healthy skin. So far vitamin E has been shown to protect us against approximately 80 diseases.

It is an important ingredient in our Day Face Cream.
Our hydrating day face cream 

We also add vitamin E to our Multi-purpose Cream, Day and Night Face Creams, Hand and Body Lotion and Foot Lotion.
Our natural skincare products

Interestingly... Do you know that people are recording low levels of vitamin E in their bodies, due to our reliance on over processed foods which leach out vitamin E?
Good sources of vitamin E are dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, brown rice, eggs, milk, kidneys and liver, soya beans, sweet potatoes and a host of herbs such as flax seeds and rose hips.

Vitamin A.
Vitamin A will help skin disorders such as acne and is needed for the maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue of which the skin is composed. Vitamin A, like vitamin E, is an antioxidant helping to protect cells against cancer and many other diseases and is necessary for new cell growth. This important vitamin also slows the aging process.
Mabel Maybanks prefers to use pure vitamin A, which applied to the skin will reduce fine lines and help fade age spots. A deficiency in vitamin A can cause dry skin and hair.
Vitamin A is added to Mabel Maybanks Day Face Cream and to Night Face Cream.

Interestingly... The sources of vitamin A can be found in animal liver, fish liver oils, green and yellow fruits. Foods that contain sufficient amounts of vitamin A are apricots, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, mustard, papayas, peaches, pumpkins, red peppers, spinach, sweet potatoes, watercress and yellow squash and most herbs. Animal sources are up to six times stronger in vitamin A as vegetable sources. Interestingly, antibiotics, laxatives and some cholesterol lowering drugs interfere with the absorption of vitamin A.

Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that is required for at least 300 metabolic functions within our bodies, including tissue growth and repair which are essentials in the formation of our skin. Vitamin C helps with bruising and promotes the healing of wounds including burns. Our bodies cannot manufacture vitamin C so it must be obtained through diet or in the form of supplements which is why vitamin C is added to Mabel Maybanks Night Face Cream. A deficiency in vitamin C include gums that bleed during brushing, susceptibility to infection especially colds, joint pain, lack of energy, prolonged wound healing time and bruising easily.
Vitamins A, E and C are added to our night face cream along with organic essential oil of Roman Chamomile.

Interestingly... Sources of vitamin C are berries, citrus fruit, green vegetables, herbs such as fennel seeds, kelp, peppermint, paprika, parsley, red clover and rose hip. Supplements are numerous but you should avoid using chewable vitamin supplements as these can damage tooth enamel.
