broccoli: a green superhero
mom's always right.
That broccoli is good for you is something your mom undoubtedly told you as a child. Broccoli is a true superfood, packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber that benefit your immune system. But did you know this green superhero also works wonders for your skin and hair?
Broccoli contains vitamins A, E, C, and zinc. Vitamins C and E protect our cells from oxidative stress, which helps prevent premature skin aging. Additionally, vitamin C supports normal collagen formation in our body, which contributes to skin firmness. Vitamin A and zinc, in turn, help maintain normal skin. Broccoli also contains sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant with numerous beneficial effects on the body, including on the skin.
Conclusion? Mom was right – broccoli is good for you! At RainPharma, we’re big fans of this green superhero, and we've included broccoli seed in both our skincare and our nutritional supplements
broccoli as a part of your skincare routine.
You’ll find broccoli seed in both Fascinating Broccoli Seed Oil and Charming Broccoli Seed Mask – a skin oil and mask. Broccoli has a calming and hydrating effect on the skin, making the oil and mask ideal as an after-sun treatment and for soothing dry patches and irritations. Both products are suitable for all skin types, as broccoli hydrates and purifies without clogging pores. So whether you have oily, dry, or sensitive skin, broccoli can offer a solution!
a natural alternative to silicones.
In addition to sulforaphane, broccoli seed oil contains Omega-9 and Omega-6 fatty acids. These acids make broccoli seed oil beneficial for your hair as well. Omega-9 and Omega-6 fatty acids act as a natural alternative to silicones: they hydrate and soften your hair while protecting it from external influences. But what’s the difference compared to actual silicones?
Chemical silicones also soften your hair, but they do so by creating a coating over it. This makes your hair feel softer and adds volume. The downside is that these silicones don’t improve the condition of your hair; they only add a layer on top. Beneath that soft, shiny silicone layer, the state of your hair remains unchanged. If it was dry and brittle before, it stays that way. Moreover, silicones are difficult to remove from your hair, even when washing with shampoo. This can cause a buildup of silicones on your hair and scalp, making it harder for your scalp to breathe. Additionally, the accumulation of silicones prevents the natural oils produced by your body from reaching and nourishing your hair. As a result, your hair remains vulnerable.
In short: silicones create a nice effect on your hair in the short term, but they don’t improve its condition in the long term. Broccoli seed oil, on the other hand, is a natural alternative to silicones, penetrating your strands to genuinely soften, strengthen, and hydrate your hair.
