premise in mind. Most of the line's products are aloe-based and

Australia, to promote healthy skin. Natural extracts of rosemary,
comfrey, passion flower, linden and others, as well as rare
essential oils, also are used to maintain the skin's moisture
balance and prepare it for optimum UV exposure. The use of

helps protect the skin from wrinkle-causing free radicals, says

contact" products because they quickly are absorbed into the
skin as opposed to the traditional emulsion form of other lotions
that tend to "sit" on the skin, notes the company.
Caribbean Gold tanning formulas also utilize premium
moisturizers and skin conditioners, as well as antioxidant
vitamins and natural extracts.
