VitaMan

VitaMan skincare products for men can be found at Thompson Alchemists in NYC

Australia's Indigenous people have discovered which plants, fruits and herbs can heal wounds, cleanse, moisturise and protect the skin and condition the hair and scalp over thousands of years.

The following is a short list of the major active plant extracts found in the VitaMan range and their history of use.

GRASS LILY (tall grass) - Traditionally used in healing burns, cuts, abrasions, facilitating rapid healing through multiple cell division. Relieves itching, bites, skin irritations. An excellent moisturising extract that penetrates the skin and is easily absorbed. (Shave Creme, After Shave Balm and Face and Body Moisturiser, Foot Gel and Paw Paw Creme)

LEMON MYRTLE (tonic herb) - Anti-bacterial, high content of Citrol. A beautiful fresh zingy fragrance of Lemon, Lime and Lemongrass. Strong anti-fungal properties make it ideal for cleansing the skin. (Scrub, Shower Gel and Hair Wax).

QUANDONG KERNEL OIL (native peach fruit) - High in Santalbic Acid which as a natural anti-inflammatory treats itchy scalps and relieves minor skin irritations. High in essential fatty acids which enrich and nourish the hair. (Shampoo, Conditioner, Scalp/Hair Treatment).

BLUE CYPRESS OIL (cypress tree bark) - Anti-microbial, anti-bacterial like Tea Tree and with similar healing properties. Excellent for cleansing the skin and scalp. This oil produces a fresh and masculine natural aroma. (After Shave Balm, Moisturiser, Shampoos, Conditioners and Treatments).

WILD ROSELLA FLOWER (native flower) - This native flower has a high percentage of phenols which are a natural potent anti-oxidant. In combination with Kakadu Plum these ingredients are used as topical free radical scavengers that will help prevent damage to the skin caused by the ravages of the urban environment. (Skin Protector)

KAKADU PLUM (native fruit) - Used by aborigines as a nutritous source of vitamins and energy, Kakadu Plum has the highest percentage of naturally occurring Vitamin C. The latest research shows that the anti-oxidant properties from naturally occurring vitamins can be a powerful way of caring for the skin and may help retain a more youthful appearance. (Skin Protector)

NATIVE AUSTRALIAN ALOE VERA - Organic aloe provides the soothing, healing properties which make up the base of the VitaMan skincare and haircare product range. (After Shave Balm, Moisturiser, Shower Gel, Shave Creme, Shampoo, Conditioner and Scrub)
