It reduce cellular inflammation for anti-aging skin care benefits.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes contain curcumin and its derivatives (curcuminoids) that are bright yellow in color. Their hydrogenated derivatives, tetrahydrocurcuminoids, are nearly colorless materials. All of them possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
Galanga (Alpinia officinarum), also known as Galangal or Chinese ginger, contains essential oils, gingerols and a group of pungent substances, diarylheptanoids. Diarylheptanoids (and analogous phenyl alkyl ketones) possess excellent anti-arthritic properties due to their arrest of prostaglandin biosynthesis via inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. Purified extracts of galanga, which are composed primarily of lower alkyl cinnamate esters, have UV absorbing, antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibiting properties.
Frankincense, Boswellia: Guggal (Boswellia serrata) has been used for centuries as an arthritis treatment. This biochemical mechanism provides a way to formulate skin anti-aging products via the incorporation of extracts or isolated pure compounds.

The modulation of these metalloenzymes by appropriate trace metal topical therapies can lead to new skin anti-aging ingredients and their formulation methodologies.
Rosemary: It contains some of the most promising active agents, including rosmarinic acid, and diterpenes ursolic acid, carnosic acid, carnosol, oleanolic acid, hinokiol and seco-hinokiol, rofficerone, and amyrenones, which, due to their reported strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and tyrosinase inhibiting properties.

Story:
Two women have been left seriously ill in hospital after drinking aloe vera juice contaminated with ketamine.
(Anyone who has bought the drink should take it to a police station
Police are investigating how the party drug came to be inside bottles of the Gayatri brand drink in shops in Leicester.)
One store’s shelves have been cleared of the stock and police are investigating whether it is being sold anywhere else in the city.
A 60-year-old woman, from Rushey Mead, collapsed soon after drinking the juice. She complained of a burning sensation in her throat.
Her daughter, who asked not to be named, told the Leicester Mercury: “I thought she was going to die. My dad was crying as the paramedics were trying to revive her. It was awful.
“She was basically in a vegetative state. They thought she might have bleeding on the brain. I thought ‘that’s it’.”
The family took the bottle of juice to the hospital with them.
Another woman was taken to hospital on Friday with similar symptoms. Her family took in the same brand of drink, which is when doctors raised the alarm.
If anyone has a bottle, don’t drink it, take it to a police station. If anyone has drunk the juice, they should seek medical advice.
Advice from the Health Protection Agency
The Health Protection Agency confirmed the drinks contained ketamine, which acts as an anaesthetic, and can cause serious damage.
A spokeswoman said: “If anyone has a bottle, don’t drink it, take it to a police station.
“If anyone has drunk the juice, they should seek medical advice.”
A spokeswoman for Leicestershire Police said: “Police are working with the Health Protection Agency to look into how the drinks, consumed by the two women, came to be potentially contaminated.
“Enquiries are in their early stages and police are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances of this incident.”
When contacted by Sky News Online, the makers of the drink, Gayatri Herbals, based in Maharashtra, India, said they have no idea how the drug got into the drink.
Marketing director Amlesh Karle said the product is only sold in India and is not exported overseas.
“It’s absolutely shocking. This has nothing to do with my company and my product. We have been making this product for 10 years and have never had a problem with it,” he said.
“There has been some mischief. Someone has bought it in India and taken it to the UK. We have no idea how the drug got in there.”
He said security seals are not used on the bottles, so customers would not know if they had been opened before and refilled with a different liquid.
The ingredients on the bottle are listed as pure aloe vera juice and citric acid.
The makers say the juice “is used to maintain and restore the balance of stomach acids”. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Aloe-Vera-Drink-Alert-After-Ketamine-Found-In-Gayatri-Herbals-Juice-In-Leicester/Article/201007315667271?DCMP=EMC-news_OBU
