Pear Heart specializes in the formulation of custom skin care products

Extracts are different from oils in that they are extracted from the plant using a different method and different parts of the plant, thus the results are used in an alternative way. We carry a variety of extracts including: green tea, chamomile, rosemary, calendula, mallow, witch hazel, sea kelp, algae, Irish moss, alpha hydroxy acid and cucumber. Each one offers a wide variety of objectives ranging from anti-inflammatories to adding flavonoids, phenols and amino acids to our formulations

 Butter is made of only natural oils with no waters added to it. These natural oils protect the skin from the outside elements. 

•  Shea Butter has shown to boost collagen production within the skin. This can greatly improve skin health, while simultaneously protecting us from age related declines in skin quality. 
•  The Vitamin C in Mango butter helps it to boost the skin, brightening it, while the Vitamin A helps to increase the skin's youthful appearance, reducing fine lines. 
•  Tucuma Butter is prized for its rich content of polyphenols to combat free radicals in the tissues, and fatty acids to protect and moisturize the skin. 
•  Methionine, an essential amino acid, is found in Bacuri butter, which is a source of sulphur – essential to hair, skin and nail health 

 There are factors to consider when picking out an oil: solubility, viscosity, spreadability and melting point. Depending on your particular needs: if your skin is dry, oily, normal or a combo of any of the 3 will determine what type of oil to be used in your formulations. There are other determinants including wrinkles, blotchiness, acne, rosacea that would influence which particular oil (or if any at all) is to be used. 

• Very light-fractionated coconut
• Light- sweet almond, sunflower, soy bean, rice bran oil
• Medium-olive oil, pomegranate oil
• Heavy-avocado oil, castor oil 

Needless to say there are so many other oils that have their own positive effects. Sea Buckthorn Oil  can actually improve skin metabolism and retard skin maturation, thereby slowing down the aging process. 

Marula Oil  soothes dry chapped skin, reducing redness and maintaining hydration.  Is an emollient oil for dry, damaged and fragile hair 

 There are numerous benefits  of using protein-rich substances in formulations. Various topical applications were considered useful ingredients for creating a suitable environment for healthy skin and hair because of their ability to bind water with the outermost layer of skin and its cells. Most protein derivatives that are used for cosmetic purposes are obtained from simple proteins. Some examples of hydrolyzed proteins are

• Silk
• Wheat
• Oat
• Keratin
• Lupine

 Hydrosols are products made by steam distillation of leaves, fruits, tubers, resin, grass, flowers, needles, twigs as well as a multitude of botanicals, vegetation, and herbaceous plantings.  Hydrosols have a delicate, refreshing, soothing fragrance with subtle notes. Hydrosols can be used directly on the skin or incorporated into formulations for the face, body or hair. Examples:

• Rose
• Lavender
• Aloe
• Chamomile
