Olive (Olea Europaea)
Thanks to its essential fatty acid contents it makes it possible for the pores to secrete less grease, and so purification becomes easier. Olive consists of natural materials that bind free radicals and so help keep the skin young. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acids) in 77% , and polyunsaturated ones in 9%.

As to trace elements, it contains boron and iodine as well.
Zeolites or "Boiling Stones"
They have a proved immune supporting effect. As nutrition supplements they exert a favourable influence on gut flora, bind free radicals and help inner purification. Due to their special crystal structure they become absorbed in the intercellular space, so they can carry the agent materials into the deepest skin layers. Zeolites are strong antioxidants. Various researches have shown that they (e.g. clinoptilolite) have an important role in immune system regulation and in the optimization of some
gastro-enterologic processes.
