BIODERBE Says ‘Open Sesame’ to Youthful Skin

(Florence, Italy) — We know about the health benefits of cooking with sesame oil, but what about the oil’s skin care benefits? BIODERBE, an Italian manufacturer of natural skin and hair care products since 1966, is keenly aware of the skin care benefits and offers a new, FDA-approved organic skin care regime, using sesame oil to reduce under-eye puffiness and dark circles.

Sesame oil has been used for thousands of years as a healing agent, and research shows that it offers multiple benefits for the skin, including rich antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties. Sesame oil is a potent antioxidant that pulls toxins from the skin and helps fade dark spots. The oil penetrates to the very marrow of the bone, gathering oil soluble toxins and taking them to the blood stream to be eliminated from the body as waste. Sesame oil also neutralizes oxygen radicals, which have been referenced as one of the major causes of aging.

BIODERBE’s Eye Gel for Puffy Eyes uses the purest form of sesame oil, combined with an exclusive vitamin complex to eliminate the oil’s unpleasant distinctive fragrance and enhance its skin health benefits. The highly moisturizing and revitalizing organic formula reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness and adds vitality to the skin of the eye and lid contours, which under stress, is the first to show signs of tiredness and age.

“We developed the original formula of BIODERBE to contain the most natural active principles extracted from plants that will enrich the skin with long-lasting luminosity and vitality,” says Mauri Cresci, Derbe’s owner and creative director.

BIODERBE is one of the few nickel-tested skin care lines available to women in the United States. The unique FDA-approved organic skin care products are created with a combination of organic plants and vitamins to effectively fight signs of aging. In addition to its Eye Gel for Puffy Eyes, the line boasts six additional skin care products: Eye and Lip Lift Cream, Gentle Makeup Remover, Two-Stage Cream Soap, Rebalancing Toner, Emulsion 1 Day Treatment and Emulsion 2 Night Treatment. Because products are highly concentrated, when used daily, each product will last for a minimum of three months.

Affordably priced from $40 to $95 per bottle, BIODERBE can be found at resorts like the Trump Taj Mahal, Atlantic City, fine stores, luxury spas & salons or online www.gaiatree.com or www.shoplondons.com.
