Burdock Root: Burdock root extract contains vitamins B complex and E. In addition, it boasts trace minerals of potassium, phosphorous, chromium, cobalt, iron, magnesium, silicon, zinc and sodium. Burdock Root has been used in cosmetic products to increase circulation to the skin, helping to detoxify the epidermal tissues. It has also been traditionally used in hair care products and products for the treatment of acne, and other scaly skin disorders. Test tube experiments have shown Burdock Root to have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. The active anti-bacterial principle has been isolated and partially characterized as a lactone.
Horsetail: Well known for its mineral content, specifically silica, which is concentrated in the shoots of the plant. Horsetail extract has been known to strengthen hair, bones, nails and teeth, due to being high in silica, which is good for the skin and nails. Native Americans use horsetail as a poultice to promote wound healing. Horsetails silica content makes it useful in sitz baths, which aid in treating peripheral vascular disorders and post-thrombotic swelling. The silica is highly absorbable and utilized to promote collagen formation.
Nettle: Also known as "stinging nettle" due to the prickly hollow needles on its dark green leaves, and the sting and burn upon contact. Nettle (Urtica dioica) is an ancient herbal remedy which has been well tested and shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. Because it is a vasodilator it has been used medicinally to excite the skin locally. It is also used for stimulating hair growth, treating dandruff and used to treat dark circles around the eye.

The history of usage of White Willow Bark goes back as far as 500 BC when ancient Chinese healers used the extract for its healing properties.
