A Natural Approach to Hair, Skin & Nail Care

Naturally bouncy hair, radiant skin, and strong nails require care that goes below the surface.

The Dietary Foundation

Protein Power: Hair and nails are primarily made of protein. Adequate intake—especially after age 50—helps maintain firm, shapely muscles and promotes cell regeneration.

Vivid Veggies: Colourful vegetables support healthy, even-toned skin. Antioxidant-rich berries are also high in fibre, which helps balance insulin and sebum levels.

Fabulous Fat: Oily seeds like sunflower (rich in vitamin E) and flax (a source of omega-3s) help skin retain moisture, reduce irritation, and promote a luminous glow.

Healthy Hydration: Water-rich produce such as cucumber and watermelon hydrates effectively by combining water with electrolytes like calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Mineral Cofactors

Minerals can help reduce hair fall and support thick, resilient hair, skin, and nails.

Silicon is essential for collagen production, hydration, elasticity, and structural integrity. A bioavailable form of silica (20–40 mg daily) offers optimal support for long, bouncy hair and strong, shiny nails.

Zinc sufficiency supports skin repair, reduces acne, and aids healthy hair growth. Iron (18 mg daily) can help restore a healthy flush to pale cheeks and under-eye shadows.

Antioxidant Protectors

• Vitamin C helps preserve collagen by protecting it from UV damage and inflammation.
• Vitamin E helps skin retain moisture.
• Grape seed OPCs protect collagen and elastin, improving elasticity and slowing the appearance of sagging and wrinkles.
• Carotenoids such as lutein and astaxanthin protect against UV light damage.
• Vitamin A (as retinol) helps prevent hair follicle inflammation and keratin buildup on the arms and legs.

A Nurturing Routine

Relax: Spending mindful time in nature (while wearing sun-protective clothing) helps reset the body’s internal clock, supports sleep, and encourages cellular renewal.

Exercise: Movement increases cell turnover and renewal. Even moderate walking helps deliver nutrients to skin, hair, and nails.

Gentle Habits: Harsh products can strip protective oils. Choose sulfate-free cleansers and use tepid water for skin and hair care.

Saboteurs

• Alcohol depletes B vitamins
• Soil depletion reduces access to minerals like silicon
• Pollutants and processed oils use up antioxidants
• Stress rapidly drains nutrients
• Obsessive tracking of food and nutrients can impact absorption
• Age decreases the absorption of vitamin D, B12, and iron

Why Consider a Supplement?

• Soil depletion: Silicon—key for skin, hair, and nail structure—is missing from most modern soils.
• Environmental exposure: Antioxidants like lutein help support sensitive skin.
• Diet gaps: Additional omega oils can improve skin moisture and reduce irritation.
• Vitamin synergy: Grape seed extract helps recycle vitamins C and E in the body.

The Missing Piece

A healthy diet can meet your needs for protein, antioxidants, and omega oils. However, trace minerals are often lacking in today’s produce. Because inert minerals aren’t digestible, it’s important to supplement with forms that are soluble and bioavailable to truly support the health of your hair, skin, and nails.
