Science
Our cutting edge botanical ingredients are based on an enduring chiral science first discovered by Louis Pasteur, then in the early 1990s mandated by the FDA that all
pharmaceuticals for human consumption must first be chirally analyzed for their safety before going to market, with further validation in 2001 by an American and Japanese scientist through winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
What is Chiral?
It is the yin and yang of Beyond Organicstm, chirally-pure botanicals®.
“Chiral” means that the left and right “spin” of a molecule fits the skin’s receptors precisely like a hand-in-glove for absolute absorption and penetration. Skin is the body’s largest organ and has millions of chiral receptors dictating these precise instructions.
If the product is not chirally pure, you are merely forcing the incorrect molecule into the skin where it will either be rejected because it is not recognized by the cell or it will link up improperly and will not give the best results. In extreme cases it may even cause adverse reactions.
Just as a left hand cannot fit into a right glove, a key will also not work without having the right shape of a specific lock. Chirality is the mirror image of molecules.
Our logo reflects the natural harmony of chirally-pure botanicalstm ingredients with both Nature and the skin. The leaf and ladybug have a symbiotic relationship: the ladybug keeps the leaf free of pests — eliminating the need for pesticides harmful to the environment and our health. We’ve placed the leaf and ladybug inside the Yin/Yang — an ancient and mystical symbol of Natural Harmony.
