5. What is biofermentation?

Biofermentation is a unique scientific process that amplifies desired qualities found
in nature. It is used to make wine and other food products and is one of the oldest technologies with thousands of years of history. Because of the delicate processing and meticulous care required to produce desired results, fermentation is often considered art among scientists.

6. What is green chemistry?

“Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances." ³

3 - Anastas and Warner, 2000.

7. What is mangosteen infused water?

Glimpse formulas do not begin with regular water. Glimpse formulas begin with a unique, one of a kind, mangosteen infused water. This process entails steeping (like
a tea bag in water) mangosteen pericarp powder into USP grade purified water. This allows for the transfer of mangosteen’s powerful phytonutrients into the first ingredient and base of each formula.⁴You can enjoy optimal skin benefits from mangosteen with mangosteen infused water.

8. I heard Glimpse skin care is a brand with green focus. But what exactly does “green focus” mean?

XanGo selects ingredients from natural sources as much as possible. In addition, XanGo takes extra steps to make sure each ingredient is clean of hidden additives, chemicals or toxins. Upon manufacturing the Glimpse brand, XanGo uses a special blending technology called cold processing, reducing carbon emissions which could negatively impact the environment. Additionally, cold processing enhances the efficacy of the product by supporting the nutrient integrity of the performance ingredients within the formulations.

9. Are Glimpse products tested by dermatologists?

Yes. All Glimpse formulas are tested by dermatologists.

1 0. Why is cold processing important?

Many cosmetic products are blended at near-boiling temperatures for various
reasons. This process often compromises the potency of vitamins and natural enzymatic activity of botanical phytonutrients. XanGo utilizes cold processing
where the blending of active ingredients takes place at a lower temperature to
ensure nutrient integrity of performance ingredients. This special processing
method is more “green” or environmentally friendly than traditional blending
processes as it requires less energy and emits less carbon footprints to the environment.

Concerns on Toxic Chemicals:

11. What is Safe Cosmetics or www.safecosmetics.org ? Has XanGo signed the Coalition for Safe Cosmetics?

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a coalition working to protect your health by calling for the elimination of chemicals used in the cosmetics industry linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems. Yes, XanGo has signed the Coalition for Safe Cosmetics.

12. I heard some of the commonly used ingredients in skin care are harsh on skin. Does Glimpse Skin Care contain any harsh chemicals?

Glimpse Skin Care is designed to work intuitively to support skin’s daily functions without the use of harsh chemicals or dangerous toxins. Based on XanGo’s strict ingredient philosophy, Glimpse products are free from the following ingredients that
are potentially harmful to skin and health:

• Petrochemicals

• Sulfates (SLES, SLS, ALS)
• Mineral Oil

• Carbomer
• Phenoxyethanol

• Quatemary Ammonium
• Petrolatum

• Alcohol (like Ethanol, SD Alcohol)
• PEGs

• Glycols
• Silicones

• GM (Glyceryl Monostearate)
• Formaldehyde donors (preservatives)

• Toluene
• BHT

• Phthalates
• Parabens

• Ethanolamines i.e. TEA, DEA
• Synthetic dyes such as FD&C or D&C colors

• Synthetic fragrance
• Sodium/Potassium Hydroxide

• AMP-95

13. Does Glimpse skin care use a synthetic fragrance?

Glimpse does not contain any synthetic fragrances. The aroma comes from the blend of BioActive X3 Complex and other botanical ingredients. Each ingredient is selected carefully for the specific purpose of nutritional benefit and supplementation to the largest organ of the body, the skin, but at the same time produces a subtle, natural aroma that dissipates quickly. According to the EWG, an analysis of the chemical contents of products reveals that innocuous-looking “fragrance” often contains chemicals linked to negative health effects. Phthalates, used to make fragrances last longer, are associated with damage to the male reproductive system and artificial musks accumulate in our bodies and can be found in breast milk. Some artificial musks are even linked to cancer. And if you’ve got asthma, watch out—fragrance formulas are considered to be among the top 5 known allergens, and can trigger asthma attacks. The same kinds of chemicals are often used for fragrance in
cleaning products, scented candles and air fresheners.
