Eagle Vision According to tradition Chinese health theory, the “Liver” opens into the eyes and controls vision. The Chinese version of the Liver is a complex organ system. Its functions include not only those of the liver as we know it physiologically in the West, but also includes a number of other organic structures and functions that might seem unrelated at first glance, but are in fact closely related functionally – such as the control of the peripheral nervous system and, in particular,our vision. The eyes are a part of the peripheral nervous system, and are therefore controlled by the Liver. Both visual acuity and the condition of the eyes itself are under the influence of the Liver. The Liver “prefers to remain cool.” Yin tonifying herbs provide the natural coolness that supports healthy eye tissue and functioning.  Goji, Chrysanthemum, Dendrobium, Peony and Cassia tora nurture Liver Yin.  Goji berry is famed for its benefit to the eyes as well as to the system as a whole. Goji is a Liver and blood tonic. Goji berries contain carotenoids that promote vitamin A production and provide important eye nutrients, including zeathanthin, a carotenoid that protects the health of the retina, the pigment that coats the retina (the back wall of the eye). An herb that is highly reputed for its benefits to the eyes is the small Oriental Chrysanthemum Flower. This flower is used in Chinese herbalism to directly and quickly benefit the eyes and vision by clearing obstructions and allowing energy to flow freely through the eyes. It is a cooling herb which clears heat away from the eyes. This herb can help relieve temporary mild eye strain, eye redness and eye congestion due to fatigue and temporary dryness resulting from environmental conditions. Anger and toxic substances will cause the eyes to become red, as will a lack of sleep. If your eyes are chronically fatigued, red or congested, or become so due to a condition such as hay fever, see a physician as this may indicate a serious condition. Cornus is another tonic fruit that has powerful effects on the “Kidneys” and “Liver.” It is traditionally believed to be a valuable eye tonic. Astragalus and Dioscorea supplement Qi and strengthen the body. Vitex rotundifolia supports clear vision. Ligusticumstimulates the smooth flow of Qi and blood. Tribulus tonifies the Kidney and Liver. Cassia tora cools the eyes. Tonic herbs are not to be used for the purposes of curing, preventing or treating any disease of the eyes (for that, you should consult a physician before using any herbs or supplements). This formula is used to promote the proper energy balance in the eyes so that the eyes remain healthy. As a Yin tonic, it also promotes healthy fluid balance of the eyes. Again, if you are experiencing significant eye inflammation or what appears to be an eye infection or any other disease of the eye, you should consult a physician.*   Traditional Function: Tonifies Liver, nourishes blood and benefits the eyes and vision*   Concentration: 7:1   Specifications: 100 Capsules 500 mg each   Ingredients Goji berry, Dendrobium stem, Senna obtusifolia seed, Chrysanthemum flower, Astragalus seed, Ligusticum chuanxiong rhizome, Tribulus seed, Chinese Yam rhizome, Cornus officinalis fruit, Vitex rotundifolia fruit, Chinese White Peony root.   Other Ingredients: Vegetarian capsules**, rice powder.     Usage: Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.   Remember Ron Teeguarden’s “First Rule of Tonic Herbalism,” summed up in a single word – Compliance.

Key Highlights Powerful blend of carotenoids; lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and beta-carotene Bioactive plant sourced ingredients Protects against blue light EYE PROTECTION, BACKED BY SCIENCE Ever noticed how your eyes feel after a day at your computer screen or a smartphone scrolling session? Tired and a little bleary, if you’re anything like us. We all spend a lot of time on our screens these days, and the high energy blue light from our devices is straining our eyes. The thing is, the human eye isn’t used to handling so much artificial light. In fact, it’s currently estimated that over 80% of people suffer from digital eye strain. So it’s time to start giving our eyes a little TLC. NATURALLY EFFECTIVE INGREDIENTS Our eyes need something called macular carotenoids, a protection from the artificial light we saturate them with. Research shows that carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin sit at the back of the eye, where they form the macular pigment. There’s also a concentration of Meso-zeaxanthin at the centre of this pigment.Our Eye Defence has all three of these powerful carotenoids, along with beta carotene. Our bodies then convert this to vitamin A, which contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. THE DANGER OF SCREENS FOR OUR EYES We all spend too much time looking at our screens - that is simply the reality of the modern world. But did you know that over the course of the day, your eyes essentially store up the energy they absorb from screens, before releasing it at night? This can result in oxidative damage to the delicate tissue in our eyes. The effects of this process accumulate over time, slowly damaging our eyesight. Which is why it’s super important to give our eyes support.The natural nutrients in our Eye Defence formula have clinically shown to give your eyes a plethora of health benefits, including: Improved visual function Reduced glare sensitivity Reduced eye strain and fatigue

Lovely fresh, 'green' and delicately sweet scent. It freshens, cools, rejuvenates and firms the skin. Perfect for dull, damp, polluted or warm environments ... it will instantly take you to the green freshness and cooling breeze of the forest ...at least that's how it feels to me :-) It feels so soothing and calming on the eye, brow and temple area. If you're a type that gets easily overheated, agited or angry - or if you easily get headaches, you might wanna try the Open Sky Eye Serum for a treat. Bright, alert eyes - Refreshing, enlightening, firming I do believe this has helped lighten up the former dark circles under my eyes, and helped with the puffiness - my eye area just overall looks better! It's just one of those things that happens gradually, and then suddenly you notice the new beauty progress that catches your eye in the mirror :) I love putting this all over my face, not just the eye area. It is very firming, and clear, and I have gotten compliments on how good my skin looks with this on. Very clarifying, and I love how refreshing this feels because of the mint in conjunction with all the other wonderful ingredients. When I want to feel expansive, enlightened, and aware, I put this on. Indeed, during application, it is best not to put it too close to the eye line, otherwise the eyes can start watering. However, sometimes I actually enjoy the bit of tearing up this provides, because it 'washes' my eyes into a brighter green colour - like aromatherapy for the eyes! Still, just putting it along the eye socket bone is nice enough :) Eye area looks great with this on - so bright and alert. A little definitely goes a long way, half a drop then spreading it onto eye areas fulfills its use perfectly. Massaging it between the brows and onto forehead temple also feels exceptionally relaxing. Nadine is such an awesome creator. Looking and feeling truly beautiful. Thank you Lovely...but am I using it wrong? I received my order yesterday and am in love with the true fragrance. The oil feels good and I can already see some improvement in my dark circles and puffiness. It does burn the eyes a bit. Will I adjust? [Libations comment: use this lovely serum around the eyes, but not on eyes or eyelids; it is potent and a little goes a long way] hollowness under the eyes I'm writing to thank you, Nadine, for yet another incredibly effective product -- Open Sky Eye Serum. I had contacted you personally about the hollows or sagginess I was noticing under my eyes and you suggested this product to me. It works! The skin under my eyes has most definitely pulled up or grown collegen or somehow regenerated because I no longer have the sagging definition that I had before using the product. I would tell anyone who is aging and losing some of the fullness underneath their eyes to try this serum. I've been using it for probably two months and the results are noticeable and incredible. Natural plant essences rock!! Thanks Nadine. P.S. I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this product. People try this, you'll be happy you did. so many uses in one bottle this is an amazing product. it really heals skin around the eyes. I love it. I use it everyday and the smell is divine. I even mix it with best skin ever and a wonderful overall moisturizer. thank you next day eyes oh dear. i used this one the day of my sister's wedding. the night before was late and rowdy and i woke up with puffy eyes. within 10 minutes of using open eye, the skin around my eyes was not puffy anymore. the pictures looked amazing. it is my secret weapon after a long late night! thank you, thank you, thank you. smells great love this product. so natural, so fresh, so gentle. i use it everyday. helps after a day of computer work hi there, i wanted to write a review of this product. thank you so much. i work in a dark office, under florescent lights and by a computer all day long, every day. At the end of the day, my eyes feel strained and bloodshot. I come home and use open eye sky serum and my eyes feel the relief they crave all day. Thanks a lot. My Eyes Look Amazing! I am currently wearing the Open Sky eye Serum, my eyes have been puffy and dry lately, they look and feel amazing! (I just got it in the post this morning) I've never been a fan or addicted to beauty products such as Lancome, Clinique, etc...but this is it. I've found my product. How can anyone feel guilty about putting 100% natural products on their body? I feel like you create magic! WOW * WoW * wow! I wanted to write to let you know that I ordered your "Open Sky Eye Serum" with my last order & all I can think of to say is that it is AMAZING! I actually intended to place my 'regular' order for dewdab & hand cream - but the Open Sky Eye Serum seemed to be 'calling' to me...so I 'splurged' & included a bottle of it in my order... I've been using it for about 1 week & WOW * WoW * wow! I LOVE it, I just use a drop or two to gently massage around my eyes-both in the morning & at night...strangely I find it both 'awakens' me in the morning & 'calms' or soothes me at night - perhaps that has to do with its effects on the pineal gland(?) Whatever the reason - I will not be without this amazing serum again! Thank you+*+*+*+ for the gifts you share with the world ~ Becky

Vamp the volume of your lashes and dramatize your eyes with our juicy, jet-black maven mascara. Many consider mascara a must-have, and we re-imagined this synthetic cosmetic with our compelling cosmoetic: a creation from the cosmos. Created with nature’s numinous nourishment, Raven Maven Mascara is long lash haven, formulated with pure ebonizing earth-pigments, length-perfecting peptides, eye-enhancing Frankincense, and natural volume-boosting waxes mixed with resins and opulent oils for sheen and conditioning that keep lashes glistening.This onyx paste comes glass tube encased with a svelte silicone wand that sculpts and evenly spreads to thread each lash as it builds up to long-lasting, lash-fluttering lengths.DetailsWe’re waxing poetic about what makes this maven mascara magnetic. The heart and soul of creating a lash-loving classic, besides pitch perfect charcoal, is how it hugs the lashes. Here the wax is key so that the mascara sets and is smudge free. To create this, wondrous waxes were mixed, melted, poured, and adored to find the golden ratio that would provide a silky sheath around each lash that seamlessly stays from dusk to dawn. In formulating, we found that by combining the varying melting points of a talented trio of waxes we could achieve a holy trinity of iconic lash effects: a lengthening effect with the high melting point of Carnauba’s hard wax, the more malleable medium melting point of Beeswax that creates a curling-lift effect, and the low melting point of Bayberry Fruit’s creamy, thicker textured wax for natural volume. To this trilogy, Cacao butter adds conditioning and cancels clumping. Frankincense and coniferous resins keep lashes glistening, and a cache of Kaolin clay keeps it thick. Plus, a measure of peptides further nurture future lash longevity — all fused in the obsidian hues of iron oxides to create this Renegade Beauty cosmoetic classic.Typically, modern mascaras use coal tar for color, film-forming polymers and shellac derived from the bleached exudate of the lac insect for texture and set, plastic and nylon to make a lengthening gel, parabens as preservatives, and ammonium methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene derived from petroleum for stability and emulsion, Yet, when the cosmos provides such exquisite and effective elements to lengthen, strengthen, and darken our lashes, it is amazing that petroleum products and plastics are used instead.Directions: Apply with sweeping strokes to the eyelashes. Focus on one lash-line at a time. Repeat, slowly sweeping brush through the lashes from root to tip before it sets. One dip can be layered multiple times onto lashes before it sets to build depth and density. The back of the top lashes can be coated too. It will wash away with water, yet a little oil will make the cleanup quicker and conditions lashes further. Use our Goodnight Oil, Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever Cleansing Balm, Chocolate Mocha Lip Balm (yes!), or your fave Best Skin Ever on a damp cotton pad, and whisk it away.Tip: Avoid pumping the wand and keep the lid on tight to keep air out and moisture in.INGREDIENTS: Water/Aqua/Eau, Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Beeswax, Stearic Acid, *Copernicia cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Arginine, Pullulan, Propanediol, Methyl Hydrogenated Rosinate, Glyceryl Stearate, Pisum sativum (Pea) Peptide, Pentylene Glycol, Kaolin, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Xanthum Gum, *Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Myrica cerifera (Bayberry) Fruit Wax, Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) Extract, Sodium Phytate, Glycerin, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, *Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tropolone, Eucalyptol, Beta-Caryophyllene, Limonene, Linalool, Camphor, Carvone, Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene. *Certified Organic.We wanted to formulate the cleanest mascara possible that is ophthalmologist approved, safe for contact lens wearers, and safe for sensitive eyes. After much research and experimentation, it was established that these two green beauty approved, eye-safe, and earth-safe synthetics (1,2-Hexanediol and Tropolone) make a clean and safe mascara worth wearing. Here’s why: the mascara wand is brushed through non-sterile eye lashes and then put back into the container over and over again, which creates a unique microbial challenge and very real safety concerns that must have absolute answers. And using a fresh wand for every application would waste so much mascara that it isn't a viable solution.These two extraordinarily effective ingredients are imperfect in that they are synthetic, yet they are heavily tested and established as harmless. Also, both Tropolone and 1,2-Hexanediol meet the clean beauty standards for the Environmental Working Group as well as the higher green beauty standards of the Detox Market and Credo Beauty. Ophthalmologist Approved Safe for Contact Lenses Safe for Sensitive Eyes Long Lasting Volumizing + Lengthening 10ml Ingredients Water Filtered, deionized water is the non-allergenic fluid foundation that keeps all of the ingredients properly swished and swirled together. Iron Oxide Black This naturally occurring mineral provides the non-irritating, perfectly-pitched, pure pigment to our mascara for the most naturally tinted lashes. Typically, carbon black is used to pigment cosmetics, and it is produced in the combustion of carbon products like tar. It is reportedly linked to incidence of organ and endocrine disruption. Beeswax This wonderful wax is such a special gift from the hives of healthy bees, giving vital viscosity to our lusciously thick mascara, so it coats, lifts, and protects lashes. Beeswax replaces paraffin, polyethylene, vegan soy wax, or a synthetic wax. Carnauba Wax (Copernicia cerifera) This breezy Brazilian palm tree lends its leaf wax to our formula for lavish lash-lengthening body with a nice, soft gloss. It also adds emollience for smooth, moisturized eye lashes. Carnauba wax replaces polymers, paraffin, polyethylene, and synthetic waxes. Bayberry Fruit Wax (Myrica cerifera) This silky wax is water extracted from organically grown berries of the Southern Bayberry Myrtle. It contributes to the creamy, rich texture of the mascara and gives the lashes a lustrous coat of a porous, protective plant layer. Film-forming polymers, such as acrylates copolymer, ammonium methacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and polyethylene, derived from petroleum, are commonly used in lieu of Bayberry Fruit Wax. Methyl Hydrogenated Rosinate Conifer sap resin is steam purified and combined with hydrogen to create a shelf-stable liquid that helps the mascara stay coated on your lashes while adding a dash of gloss. Polyvinylpyrrolidone is typically used in this role as a fixative in mascara. It is a synthetic ingredient derived from petroleum. Frankincense Resin (Boswellia carterii) Inspired by Frankincense used as the ingredient of an early cosmetic — ancient Egyptian Kohl — this fragrant and flawless extract furnishes soothing, smoothing properties to our formula. This radiant resin is key to our formula’s tenacity and texture. In synthetic mascaras one will often find shellac on the ingredient list instead. Shellac is made from the exudate of the lac insect. The exudate is then bleached or decolorized to make it cosmetic grade. Stearic Acid This magnificent multi-tasker is a natural, plant-based long chain fatty acid that stabilizes the solution and makes the mascara silky smooth. Triethanolamine (TEA) is frequently used in lieu of stearic acid, for the long chain fatty acid. It is created in a reaction of ammonia with ethylene oxide from the petroleum industry. Propanediol Plant-derived propanediol is a trusty texturizer and non-irritating fluid that assists in keeping the ingredients wet and well blended. Typically, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used in this role as a wetting agent, and it can trigger allergies and irritations. A vast number of people (maybe as high as 72%), have developed anti-PEG antibodies that can cause hypersensitivity reactions when exposed. Glyceryl Stearate This plant-based emulsifier, conditioner, and body builder is created in a process super similar to DIY soap making. This process produces magnificent molecules that are both water and fat soluble, which helps to keep our mascara ingredients all mixed together. Triethanolamine plays a similar role here in replacing stearic acid, and is also frequently used in lieu of glyceryl stearate. Arginine A lash-care essential! Arginine is an essential amino acid for building keratin, a fibrous protein that structures and protects hair. It also moisturizes each lash to keep them long and strong. Pullulan (Aureobasidium pullulans) This mighty microorganism produces this edible cellulose that acts and feels similar to gelatin. Pullulan helps our mascara lavish each lash with a sheen that stays all day yet magically washes away with water. Typically, plastic or nylon reinforced cellulose are in mascara used to create the gel-like feel in mascara. Both plastic and nylon are made from petroleum. Pentylene Glycol This sustainably produced, plant derived organic alcohol works synergistically with organic Rosemary Leaf Extract to preserve and protect our mascara from mutant microbes. It is also a silky humectant that protects lashes from drying out. Pentylene glycol replaces polyethylene glycol (PEG), which functions in many types of mascara as a humectant and preservative. A vast number of people (maybe as high as 72%) have developed anti-PEG antibodies which can lead to hypersensitivity reactions when exposed. Kaolin Silica rich Kaolin clay is an ancient haircare preparation that imparts opulent density to our finished formula. Typically, polymer opacifiers are used instead to thicken and make the formula opaque. Synthetic polymers may be irritating and inflammatory. Caprylyl Glycol Soft, flexible lashes are less apt to break, and this moisture magnifier keeps your lashes lush and long. Caprylyl glycol is a non-irritating, non-drying alcohol derived from the caprylic fatty acid found in coconut oil. Xanthum Gum Widely used in the organic food industry and a pantry staple for gluten free baking, this gel is a natural exudate of Xanthomonas campestris. It is an excellent thickener! We used Xantham Gum instead of hydroxyethylcellulose, which is a synthetic polymer that is made using 1,4 dioxane, a substance that can contribute to some cancers. Cacao Butter (Theobroma cacao) Expeller-pressed from raw cacao beans, velvety cacao butter delivers antioxidants and conditioning to keep lashes nourished from follicle to tip. Sorbitan sesquioleate is commonly used in mascara for added moisture, and it is increasingly considered an irritant. Sodium Phytate This simple salt of phytic acid derived from plant tissues acts as an all-natural super stabilizer for our ebonizing pigments so that our mascara looks and feels the same, day after day. Sodium phytate replaces sodium EDTA to manage the minerals in the mascara. Sodium EDTA may cause redness and rashes to those with sensitive eyes and skin. Glycerin Lash-plumping and moisture-maintaining Glycerin acts as a water-binding humectant in our formula. This pure, non-GMO glycerin is made from palm oil extracted from Elaeis guineensis trees grown sustainably and ethically harvested in the tropics. Glycerin is best avoided for skin care as it can lead in the long term to water loss and imbalanced skin cells, yet a bit of Glycerin when combined with other moisturizers and humectants is benign in mascara. Glycerin is safe for eye lashes because hair is made of non-living cells. Pea Peptides (Pisum Sativum) This pea peptide is a plant protein multi-tasker concentrated in lysine. It hydrates, strengthens, and fortifies lusher lash density overtime. The texture of the peptide also pumps up voluminous volume for thick, long lashes. Our peptide is lavishly laced with radish root filtrate that has been fermented with Leuconostoc, the same lactic acid bacteria that is used to make kimchi and sourdough bread. This pale-yellow liquid is a natural bacteria-balancer, and its moisturizing properties make it superbly smoothing and conditioning to the lashes and follicles. Rosemary Leaf Extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) This steadfast and super potent supercritical extract is a favorite of ours, acting as a replenishing tonic for lashes, roots, and follicles and keeps the mascara fragrant and fresh. Typically, butylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are used as preservatives, and they are known endocrine disruptors. Imidazolidinyl urea may also be found on mascara ingredient lists as an antimicrobial, and it is a formaldehyde releaser. 1,2-Hexanediol Though synthetic, it has been heavily tested to be harmless, 1,2-Hexandediol only differs molecularly from Caprylyl Glycol in that it has six carbons in the carbon chain while Caprylyl Glycol has eight. 1,2-Hexandediol is both water and lipid loving, and thus it helps hold the ingredients together and disperse pigments more evenly. Tropolone This conditioning agent helps to keep our mascara flake-free, and acts as a clean beauty preservative. When combined with 1,2-Hexanediol and Caprylyl Glycol, Tropolone provides essential full-spectrum microbe-management to protect the mascara from contamination after every application. While this compound is synthesized, Tropolone is skin safe and also occurs in plants, especially in the Cypress and Lily families, and essential oils are good sources of Tropolone derivatives.

Protect your eyes from artificial light... ...with a pair of YELLOWS.  Good light Light is one of the most important factors in our environment. We actually create energy from light not just food and it is is a vital nutrient for our health.  Every cell in our body is light sensitive and the quality of light we expose ourselves to affects us.  Sunlight is fabulous! It contains perfectly balanced amounts of red and blue light and our bodies have evolved to thrive in it. Red light is great for us, it regenerates the cells in our bodies - increasing energy levels, stimulating DNA synthesis, activating the lymphatic system, lowering oxidative stress, increasing blood flow/circulation and reducing inflammation.  Our eyes contain by far the highest number of light-sensative mitochondria in the body and junk light effects our body primarily through our eyes. Skin is also vulnerable to junk light. Junk light "Junk light is as bad as junk food" Dave Asprey Blue light is also known as High Energy Visible light (HEV) because it has the highest energy in the light spectrum. In sunshine it plays an important role helping boost alertness, memory and improve mood a well as playing a vital role in the bodies circadian rhythm. When taken out of its balanced spectrum, it's damaging, causing degeneration. In sunlight, blue light exposure is repaired by the regenerating red light. In modern lighting the red light isn't present and the damaging blue light is in much greater intensity than our bodies are made to cope with. This results in degeneration. Blue light is becoming so common and used in high doeses. Exposure comes from computers, smartphones, TV and LEDs. We used to use incandescent lights which did a good job of replicating sunlight. Whilst these light bulbs weren't energy efficient, as much of the energy was converted to heat, the effects on our vision and health are serious. By 2020 it is predicted that 90% of our lighting will come from LEDs. It is law, in Guernsey and the UK, that, for any new build, lighting comes from LEDs.  Eyesight Scientists are predicting a rise in cases Macular Degeneration because of the way we use lighting and screens. Macular Degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in the Western world and currently its effects are irreversible. Our eyes are much more vulnerable to blue light than they are to UV light. The cornea and lens of the eyes are very effective at blocking UV rays from the sun, less than one percent reaches the retina. However, virtually all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. Blue light penetrates into the eye deeply and can reach the retina where the macular is found. Without the presence of regenerating red light, this can result in degeneration.   The conclusions from a peer-reviewed 2018 study are quoted "In summary, retinal photodamage caused by a conventional light source can become chronic if exposure is high and long enough. In contrast, the use of blue-blocking filters can significantly alleviate the functional loss of retinal photosensitive cells. Therefore, these filters might be an effective mechanism to protect us from ocular pathologies." The study can be here. Sleep and jet-lag Blue light interferes with the production of melatonin, tricking the brain into thinking its daytime. This disrupts sleep which affects every aspect of body and brain function. Wearing Night YELLOWS in the hours before bedtime when using lights, TV's, phones, tablets, computers and e-readers should help to reduce sleep disruption. The overhead lights on airplanes are harsh bringing your hormones down. Wearing YELLOWS on a plane with a baseball cap and when you land before the bedtime in your new time zone should help to reduce jet lag caused by junk light and time zone changes. Wellbeing, energy, weight loss and anti-aging When exposed to junk light, the body is in a stressed environment and needs more energy to process it. This results in reduced energy and concentration, poor decision making and performance. Protecting your eyes should support energy and a general feeling of wellbeing as well as preventing sore eyes and blurred vision associated with digital eye strain. Wearing YELLOWS around screens, may also protect the delicate skin around eyes from signs of ageing caused by the increased oxidative stress. Blue light stimulates hunger via Leptin, a light sensitive hormone. It peaks at night and signals to our brains how much fat storage we have. Some research suggests that light exposure could be important in weight loss. One study can be seen here. Other major effects on our health Conditions that are made worse by modern light include nearly all the diseases that are starting to dominate our health systems:  Degenerative diseases - using blue light after dark causes a reduction in the production of melatonin. Melatonin is crucial in lowering the risk of cancer and other degenerative diseases.  Fertility and hormonal problems - blue light interferes with core hormones that make you what and who you are. We are seeing an increase in hormonal imbalances, infertility, birth defects and autism and it is believed that bad light plays a role in this.  Mental health - melatonin is responsible for reducing inflammation in the brain and blue light increases oxidative cell stress. These both have an affect mental health. Skin cancer - the flicker of LEDs causes an increase in oxidative stress on the cell membrane in the skin, as well as the eyes, which is believed to lead to an increased risk of skin cancer. Studies have shown that there is a huge increase in recent years in the occurrence of melanoma in those that work indoors under artificial lighting. There are a number of other environmental issues that effect these issues, however light is far more important than ever previously understood.  When to wear YELLOWS Around artificial lighting at any time of the day when there is limited or no sunlight. This includes at home and in public places! (Classrooms, shops and shopping centres, cinemas, restaurants all have strong artificial lights) In front of TV's and screens. It is advised to wear Yellows even if your screen has a blue light filter. In the hours before bedtime. When travelling, to protect against artificial lights and also help prevent jet-lag.  When suffering from an illness, they will protect against added oxidative stress, so your body can conserve energy needed for healing.  You don't need to wear YELLOWS outside in the day or around artificial light from incandescent or halogen sources in the day.   Day and Night explained Research shows that blue light between 400 and 460nm causes retina damage and that blue light between 450 and 470nm suppresses the production of melatonin.  Day YELLOWS  Our Day YELLOWS have a yellow lens and block 85% of blue light which has been shown to be the optimal level in the day in our extensive market research. A small amount of blue light during the day is important. Night YELLOWS At night it is important to protect your melatonin levels to the max. Night YELLOWS have an orange lens and block over 95% of blue light. Wearing Night YELLOWS after sunset can help your body to wind down naturally and improve sleep quality. Kids at risk Children are especially sensitive to HEV light. It is able to penetrate more efficiently and directly into a child’s retina. As we age, the lens starts to yellow, which then acts to block out some of the blue light. Our generation of children are being exposed to a far higher quantities of intense HEV light than any generation before. It is so important to protect their eyes at a young age to prevent the health issues mentioned here. A pair of YELLOWS makes a great Birthday or Christmas present with a lifetime of rewards! Or introduce them to your school.  YELLOWS help to protect against damaging modern lights but they are not a replacement for natural light. For children's eye health, it is really important to spend at least an hour a day outside in sunlight.  Adults most at risk Office, factory and shop workers spend whole days working under junk light and/or in front of screens. Important decisions are made in board rooms with bad lighting. Help to influence energy, productivity, health and well being with Day YELLOWS in your workplace. Shiftworkers - Light at night has shown to be highly associated with risk of hormone specific cancers. Shiftworkers need to pay special attention to preserving energy and looking after their biology.  Breast Feeding Mothers - Babies don’t produce their own melatonin, so they rely on the mother’s hormones. When the mother has healthy levels of melatonin, they are transmitted via breast milk to set their infants “master clock”, resulting in better sleep at night for you and your baby.  Over 60's - Once we reach 60, the body produces very little melatonin so we need to protect the production as much as possible.  Everyone else! Anyone will benefit from wearing YELLOWS.

Other ways to protect against junk light As well as wearing YELLOWS around artificial light and screens there are other ways you can and should protect yourself, especially at home and in your office: For Screens: Download a programme to reduce the blue light. We recommend Iris https://iristech.co which has some excellent settings. These apps control the temperature of the screen which is beneficial for your eyes. They still omit high energy light which enters your eye so and it is recommended to wear YELLOWS when using such programs.  Use Night Shift on apple devices, this can be found in Settings/Display & Brightness.  Try to decrease the amount of time spent in front of these screens and/or take frequent breaks to give your eyes a rest. And use sparingly at night. For lighting: Change the lights you use most to incandescent light bulbs or DC low voltage halogens. This is especially important for lights used at night or in rooms that contain no sunlight, for example your bedside lamp, reading light or home office light. Use as few lights as possible at night - amber and red lighting are the best at night. If you do use LEDs, use the highest CRI (R9) Index available, the nearer to 100 the better. The CRI tells us about light spectrum. And choose LEDs with the highest flicker rate, greater than 2,000 flickers per second are considered less damaging. Keep your room at night as dark as possible. If you aren't able to do this, use an eye mask at night. Cover your skin by wearing long sleeves around artificial light. Outside the home, you have little control of the environment - wear YELLOWS! There are many supplements that include high potency antioxidant nutrients that support your eye health. Two excellent ones are Cytoplan’s ‘Eye-Cyt' and Bulletproof’s ‘Eye Armour’.  The majority of adults will find that the Regular size is the best fit. The Small Adults/Teens is only a fraction smaller so these should be suitable for most adults. However, check your current glasses by measuring or looking inside the temple arms where the size is often marked.  As a general rule kids under the age of 7 will find the Small size the best fit and for older children the Regular size will be best.   Size LensWidth Bridge Temple  Width Lens Height Kids - Small 44mm 16mm 128mm 123mm 43mm Kids - Regular 48mm 17mm 130mm 128mm 36mm Small Adults/Teens 50mm 17mm 140mm 136mm 38mm Adults - Regular 52mm 18mm 145mm 137mm 39mm Adults - Large 55mm 18mm 145mm 142mm 42mm   Optometrists or eyewear stores can make minor adjustments to your frame if needed to customise the fit or if the glasses are bent out of shape. Most will do this for a small charge or for free.

You can even make the legs completely straight if you need, and this won't break or damage the strong skeleton. This is how an optician would handle the very same issue. If you or your child does wear glasses you can add a blue light protection tint onto the prescription lenses. The protection from clear lenses is much lower and be aware that if the glasses are worn at all times, you will be blocking out some blue light from the sun, which is essential for good health.

Lovely fresh, 'green' and delicately sweet scent. It freshens, cools, rejuvenates and firms the skin. Perfect for dull, damp, polluted or warm environments ... it will instantly take you to the green freshness and cooling breeze of the forest ...at least that's how it feels to me :-) It feels so soothing and calming on the eye, brow and temple area. If you're a type that gets easily overheated, agited or angry - or if you easily get headaches, you might wanna try the Open Sky Eye Serum for a treat. Bright, alert eyes - Refreshing, enlightening, firming I do believe this has helped lighten up the former dark circles under my eyes, and helped with the puffiness - my eye area just overall looks better! It's just one of those things that happens gradually, and then suddenly you notice the new beauty progress that catches your eye in the mirror :) I love putting this all over my face, not just the eye area. It is very firming, and clear, and I have gotten compliments on how good my skin looks with this on. Very clarifying, and I love how refreshing this feels because of the mint in conjunction with all the other wonderful ingredients. When I want to feel expansive, enlightened, and aware, I put this on. Indeed, during application, it is best not to put it too close to the eye line, otherwise the eyes can start watering. However, sometimes I actually enjoy the bit of tearing up this provides, because it 'washes' my eyes into a brighter green colour - like aromatherapy for the eyes! Still, just putting it along the eye socket bone is nice enough :) Eye area looks great with this on - so bright and alert. A little definitely goes a long way, half a drop then spreading it onto eye areas fulfills its use perfectly. Massaging it between the brows and onto forehead temple also feels exceptionally relaxing. Nadine is such an awesome creator. Looking and feeling truly beautiful. Thank you Lovely...but am I using it wrong? I received my order yesterday and am in love with the true fragrance. The oil feels good and I can already see some improvement in my dark circles and puffiness. It does burn the eyes a bit. Will I adjust? [Libations comment: use this lovely serum around the eyes, but not on eyes or eyelids; it is potent and a little goes a long way] hollowness under the eyes I'm writing to thank you, Nadine, for yet another incredibly effective product -- Open Sky Eye Serum. I had contacted you personally about the hollows or sagginess I was noticing under my eyes and you suggested this product to me. It works! The skin under my eyes has most definitely pulled up or grown collegen or somehow regenerated because I no longer have the sagging definition that I had before using the product. I would tell anyone who is aging and losing some of the fullness underneath their eyes to try this serum. I've been using it for probably two months and the results are noticeable and incredible. Natural plant essences rock!! Thanks Nadine. P.S. I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this product. People try this, you'll be happy you did. so many uses in one bottle this is an amazing product. it really heals skin around the eyes. I love it. I use it everyday and the smell is divine. I even mix it with best skin ever and a wonderful overall moisturizer. thank you next day eyes oh dear. i used this one the day of my sister's wedding. the night before was late and rowdy and i woke up with puffy eyes. within 10 minutes of using open eye, the skin around my eyes was not puffy anymore. the pictures looked amazing. it is my secret weapon after a long late night! thank you, thank you, thank you. smells great love this product. so natural, so fresh, so gentle. i use it everyday. helps after a day of computer work hi there, i wanted to write a review of this product. thank you so much. i work in a dark office, under florescent lights and by a computer all day long, every day. At the end of the day, my eyes feel strained and bloodshot. I come home and use open eye sky serum and my eyes feel the relief they crave all day. Thanks a lot. My Eyes Look Amazing! I am currently wearing the Open Sky eye Serum, my eyes have been puffy and dry lately, they look and feel amazing! (I just got it in the post this morning) I've never been a fan or addicted to beauty products such as Lancome, Clinique, etc...but this is it. I've found my product. How can anyone feel guilty about putting 100% natural products on their body? I feel like you create magic! WOW * WoW * wow! I wanted to write to let you know that I ordered your "Open Sky Eye Serum" with my last order & all I can think of to say is that it is AMAZING! I actually intended to place my 'regular' order for dewdab & hand cream - but the Open Sky Eye Serum seemed to be 'calling' to me...so I 'splurged' & included a bottle of it in my order... I've been using it for about 1 week & WOW * WoW * wow! I LOVE it, I just use a drop or two to gently massage around my eyes-both in the morning & at night...strangely I find it both 'awakens' me in the morning & 'calms' or soothes me at night - perhaps that has to do with its effects on the pineal gland(?) Whatever the reason - I will not be without this amazing serum again! Thank you+*+*+*+ for the gifts you share with the world ~ Becky

Protect your eyes from artificial light... ...with a pair of YELLOWS.  Good light Light is one of the most important factors in our environment. We actually create energy from light not just food and it is is a vital nutrient for our health.  Every cell in our body is light sensitive and the quality of light we expose ourselves to affects us.  Sunlight is fabulous! It contains perfectly balanced amounts of red and blue light and our bodies have evolved to thrive in it. Red light is great for us, it regenerates the cells in our bodies - increasing energy levels, stimulating DNA synthesis, activating the lymphatic system, lowering oxidative stress, increasing blood flow/circulation and reducing inflammation.  Our eyes contain by far the highest number of light-sensative mitochondria in the body and junk light effects our body primarily through our eyes. Skin is also vulnerable to junk light. Junk light "Junk light is as bad as junk food" Dave Asprey Blue light is also known as High Energy Visible light (HEV) because it has the highest energy in the light spectrum. In sunshine it plays an important role helping boost alertness, memory and improve mood a well as playing a vital role in the bodies circadian rhythm. When taken out of its balanced spectrum, it's damaging, causing degeneration. In sunlight, blue light exposure is repaired by the regenerating red light. In modern lighting the red light isn't present and the damaging blue light is in much greater intensity than our bodies are made to cope with. This results in degeneration. Blue light is becoming so common and used in high doeses. Exposure comes from computers, smartphones, TV and LEDs. We used to use incandescent lights which did a good job of replicating sunlight. Whilst these light bulbs weren't energy efficient, as much of the energy was converted to heat, the effects on our vision and health are serious. By 2020 it is predicted that 90% of our lighting will come from LEDs. It is law, in Guernsey and the UK, that, for any new build, lighting comes from LEDs.  Eyesight Scientists are predicting a rise in cases Macular Degeneration because of the way we use lighting and screens. Macular Degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in the Western world and currently its effects are irreversible. Our eyes are much more vulnerable to blue light than they are to UV light. The cornea and lens of the eyes are very effective at blocking UV rays from the sun, less than one percent reaches the retina. However, virtually all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. Blue light penetrates into the eye deeply and can reach the retina where the macular is found. Without the presence of regenerating red light, this can result in degeneration.   The conclusions from a peer-reviewed 2018 study are quoted "In summary, retinal photodamage caused by a conventional light source can become chronic if exposure is high and long enough. In contrast, the use of blue-blocking filters can significantly alleviate the functional loss of retinal photosensitive cells. Therefore, these filters might be an effective mechanism to protect us from ocular pathologies." The study can be here. Sleep and jet-lag Blue light interferes with the production of melatonin, tricking the brain into thinking its daytime. This disrupts sleep which affects every aspect of body and brain function. Wearing Night YELLOWS in the hours before bedtime when using lights, TV's, phones, tablets, computers and e-readers should help to reduce sleep disruption. The overhead lights on airplanes are harsh bringing your hormones down. Wearing YELLOWS on a plane with a baseball cap and when you land before the bedtime in your new time zone should help to reduce jet lag caused by junk light and time zone changes.
