GUNILLA® & LEROSETT® Plant-Based Organic Skin Care

What is the first ingredient in your skincare products? Is it water? Most skincare products contain mostly water, which can dry out your skin without benefits, yet they often cost as much as nourishing plant-based options.

Why Aloe Vera-Based Skincare is Superior: LEROSETT® Acne Products & GUNILLA® Anti-Aging Skincare has over 50% antioxidant-rich organic aloe vera with multiple adaptogenic botanicals. Using organic aloe vera as a base ingredient offers countless advantages. Firstly, at a higher percentage, aloe vera is a proven healing agent that reduces irritation, inflammation, and scarring. Additionally, organic aloe vera is a natural hydrator, providing moisture to the skin without drying. Lastly, its antioxidant-rich properties help fight bacteria and nourish the skin, making it a valuable addition to treating mild, hormonal, and cystic acne while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Both LEROSETT® & GUNILLA® products contain clinically proven ingredients from salicylic acid to peptides to ceramides and much more.

Nutrient Control System for Optimum Plant Growth & Quality

Products like GUNILLA® for Anti-Aging & LEROSETT® for Acne & Problem Skin are better absorbed; skin heal faster with less skin sensitivity thanks to their organic aloe vera base.

 

GUNILLA® & LEROSETT® products contain over 60% nutrient-infused hydroponically grown organic aloe and are naturally therapeutic. Hydroponically grown aloe vera is rich in antioxidants, combats free radicals, and has potent youth-enhancing anti-inflammatory properties. Our nutrient-infused organic aloe allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin while increasing collagen to help heal the skin.  

Aloe can penetrate tissue – Unlike water, aloe can be absorbed by the skin. It is absorbed deep into the skin’s layers due to lignin, a substance similar to cellulose. When used as the main ingredient, this ability allows aloe to act as an excellent carrier for the other components of aloe vera and other botanicals and active ingredients.  –The clinically proven effective ingredients in GUNILLA® products are even more effective within an organic aloe base instead of water.

Aloe has antimicrobial properties – The antimicrobial compounds in aloe include saponin, which has antiseptic properties, and barbaloin, which prevents the growth of Mycobacterium, bacteria famous for causing severe bacterial infections. A 1979 study by Heggers et al. showed that aloe in concentrations greater than 60% is lethal against various organisms. Bacteria is a leading cause of acne. -Aloe in concentrations greater than 60% is lethal against various organisms.

Aloe is anti-inflammatory – Aloe contains natural salicylic acid, an anti-inflammatory beta-hydroxy acid, and a gentle exfoliant. It also includes sterols that inhibit acute inflammation, similar to cortisone but without side effects. Instead of water, GUNILLA® uses over 60% hydro-organic aloe vera as a base; this aloe alone is clinically shown to reduce swelling and inflammation by an average of 47%. 

Aloe’s ability to heal damaged skin – Scientific research has shown that several components in aloe are responsible for the substance’s excellent ability to regenerate cells. These include gibberellin, a growth hormone-like substance that increases protein synthesis, and lectin, a protein that increases collagen activity and improves the collagen matrix. As a result, LEROSETT® & GUNILLA® products help heal and improve skin health.

 

GUNILLA® & LEROSETT® Skincare Products Based on Organic Aloe-Vera. Not Water.

Water can’t deeply hydrate the skin, but hydro-organic aloe vera can penetrate multiple layers, absorbing four times faster than water. This allows it to deliver intense moisture and nourishment directly to where your skin needs it most, ensuring lasting hydration and better results.

Aloe makes LEROSETT® and GUNILLA® products far more beneficial to the skin than typical water-based skincare. Over thirty years ago, we discovered that using aloe as the base for our science-backed active ingredients enhances absorption, allowing the skin to accept them more effectively—especially oils. Aloe, with over 50% organic content in our products, outperforms water, which is often used simply because it’s the cheapest ingredient, not because it offers any real benefit to the skin.

 

The method used to grow aloe in LEROSETT® and GUNILLA® products involves a nutrient-rich liquid solution rather than soil only in a controlled environment. This allows plants to receive optimal nutrients directly at their roots, ensuring healthy, rapid growth without the need for herbicides or pesticides. The water’s pH and nutrient levels are monitored, eliminating the risk of harmful pests and ensuring plants grow faster and healthier.

Aloe is packed with minerals, including zinc, which supports skin health by promoting repair, speeding up healing, protecting against toxins, and preventing scarring. Zinc deficiency is linked to acne, while aloe’s other antioxidants further enhance its skin-soothing benefits.

Why use Hydroponics?

  1. Hydroponic plants are grown in water, not soil. Soil loses its nutrient value over time and can contain plant-damaging disease. The hydroponic method uses balanced plant food that dissolved directly into the oxygenated water. That way, the plant can receive perfect nutrition at all times.

  2. Re-filter the same water, it is not wasted in the soil, and the roots are always in water-absorbing more plant food and nutrients.
  3. More harvests in a greenhouse; the plants are more abundant and healthier.
  4. No herbicides or pesticides and there is no damaging water runoff.
  5. Soil is not able to produce the nutrient levels needed per sq. Foot, as the root system can take up in hydroponics.
  6. All GUNILLA™ products are based on a minimum of 60% of our hydroponically greenhouse-grown, handpicked, hand planted, nutrient-fed 100% organic aloe. More nutrients are infused into the plant yielding a more active ingredient, primarily when used as the main ingredient in skincare. You will notice a quality feel that products using water as the main cannot have. That’s another reason Gunilla of Sweden® is in a class all its own.
