água de Israel
waters of Israel


Explanation:
carotenoids

Colourless carotenoids from the waters of Israel enhance the skin’s natural resistance to the environment. Carotenoids are powerful anti-oxidants found in tomatoes and carrots, which are highly beneficial in maintaining healthy vibrant skin. Until now carotenoids have not been possible to use as their intense colour has made them impractical for use in skin care products.

Jorge- this is from a Nuskin site that has two excellent glossaries that might help you.
