For skin with excess toxicity (common with seniors) It is not uncommon to develop some temporary skin discoloration as the formula eliminates the toxicity from the surface and lower layers of your skin. If you stop using the product, the discoloration will go away in few days however, if you continue using the product, it will continue to work to remove the toxicity until it is gone; this may take as long as a week or two. With cases where skin problems that persist, it is recommended that you apply a small portion to a small bandage and cover the problem (changing the bandage daily) until it is resolved. Some problems may not diminish within a few weeks and develop a scab. Do not panic, the formula is pulling something out of your skin THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. Should a problem persist beyond this, it is recommended that you contact a doctor or healthcare professional.
Your Immune System and Anaerobic Mutated Cells
Mutated cells have our DNA but stem from a mutation in the p53 gene and have tricked our immune system into believing that they are a part of our normal DNA. SSR has been created at a cationic scale and has different characteristics than its normal-sized counterpart, explaining why ordinary mineral oxides do not work in this situation. Our trade secret involves a formula to create a technically advanced Super Oxide Dismutase (Cu Zn SOD) with Redox (energy) of about ½ of a watt.
The cationic Zinc and Copper compounds in Sun-FROST work to assist cells in the immune system that fight foreign substances and the diseases which mutate cells. This does not happen overnight. Although you may notice some immediate improvements, the real change becomes evident in two or more weeks and can be permanent with continued use.
Elementary Instructions
- · Do not stir with any metal object (it has cationic minerals which may be destroyed by fusing to the metals)
- · Do not use in your eyes or mucus membranes (if you do, simply wash thoroughly with water. It will not damage them but may sting somewhat)
- · If you are going to be in a heated area (hot sun etc.) be certain that your SSR has fully absorbed into your skin as it may cause an additional heating sensation; the formula has a great deal of Redox (Reduction of Oxidation) energy in it (450+mV) which is important to assist in cellular Redox signaling.
- · It is suitable for use on your face and all other parts of your body
- · It is always a good practice to do a test patch on the inside of your wrist first (about 2 hours) to verify that you have no allergies to any ingredients.
- · If you have any serious health conditions and are taking prescribed drugs, it is always a good idea to check with your doctor to find if any of the SSR ingredients may have any contradicting effects to your medicine.
- · Use regularly for the most benefit (cumulative effect)
- · Apply to your face 10 minutes after removing makeup or before applying makeup for women and as an after-shave lotion for men
- · Apply to other, non-sensitive parts of your body after showering or 10 minutes before dressing or going to bed
- · When used as directed, no case of an overdose has been recorded. *See “Additional, Important Information” at the end of this document.

Glutathione
- Antioxidant properties to preventing Parkinson’s disease
- Slowing the ageing process
- Reducing inflammation (Glutathione is a protein that occurs naturally sometimes referred to as GSH)
- It protects your cells from free radicals which can cause serious damage as well as diseases
- Maintaining high levels of glutathione can help to repair free radical damage caused by pollution, stress, and infection causing cells to gradually lose their ability to repair themselves
- Scientists have suggested that higher levels are associated with longer life expectancy
- Low glutathione levels have been linked with a range of diseases, including, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cancer.
- A powerful antioxidant that aids detoxification, supports liver function, and can prevent both cataracts and glaucoma
- Clinical trials have shown that glutathione has antioxidant properties which reduce oxidative stress
- This stress can damage cells and even cause harm at a DNA level, leading to issues with copying genetic data
- Oxidative damage can be the underlying cause of many different types of disease but is most associated with cancer.
- Glutathione can neutralize these oxidative compounds so they don’t cause issues
- Helps regenerate other antioxidants such as Vitamins C & E. It multiplies its effects to ensure that you can combat free radicals.
- Reduces Inflammation: Certain types of cytokine can lead to inflammation; glutathione supplementation can inhibit this
- It also prevents the transcription of genes relating to inflammation so they are not produced in the first place
- Inflammation is linked to several conditions such as pulmonary conditions, heart disease, and arthritis
- Glutathione will absorb directly through the skin making it highly bioavailable
- Animal studies have shown that glutathione can have a profound effect on inflammation
- One of the major contributors to aging is an increase in free radicals. These build up over the years through continual stress, pollution, and other external factors. The older we get, the less able we are to regenerate our cells, which combined with the build-up of free radicals leads to increasing damage. Studies have found that glutathione production decreases as people age, especially when women go through menopause. It can also negatively affect the immune system and make the body more susceptible to diseases.
- It can also reduce the likelihood of brittle bones and osteoporosis
- Menopause Relief; one of the less-known glutathione benefits is menopause relief
- Women experience hot flashes, sleep problems, mood changes, and weight gain during this time due to changes in hormones. However, glutathione has been linked to a decrease in these types of symptoms.
- It’s thought that glutathione helps to rebalance hormone production to normal levels without the need for HRT or similar solutions, oxidative stress is at the root of many menopausal symptoms
- Potential to Improve Memory in Alzheimer’s Patients.
- Research has shown that antioxidants may neutralize free radicals to slow the progress of Alzheimer’s.
- Beneficial for Parkinson’s Disease: A contributor to Parkinson’s disease is oxidative stress that affects the nervous system.
- Cystic fibrosis patient’s lung function and overall capacity can benefit. Topical forms can decrease the symptoms.
- Powerful antioxidant properties that may help to protect against free radicals and slow down the aging process.
- There are few side-effects related to glutathione.
Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
- Boosts the production of glutathione in your skin. This component binds the free radicals and peroxides
- Reduces the formation of melanin and minimizes the appearance of dark spots on your face. Because pantothenic acid is found in every living cell, it is essential for healthy cell health. Pantothenic acid has incredible benefits when applied topically in its provitamin form- panthenol.
- Bio-converts into pantothenic acid when applied topically; effective in formulating highly moisturizing beauty products that have astounding results on hair, skin and nails.
- Panthenol is such a significant ingredient for beauty that it’s one of the few “miracles” ingredients that has been given a nickname- “the natural beautifier”
Pyridoxin (Vitamin B6),
- It is significant to protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters.
- Pyridoxine HCL, Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine HCL is the hydrochloride salt of Vitamin B6. When applied naturally to the body, Pyridoxine assists in the balancing of sodium and potassium as well as promoting red blood cell production.
- Preventative for dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis, according to Wikipedia.
- Anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties when applied topically to the skin.
- A deficiency can lead to skin problems, including contact dermatitis, irritation, eczema, and blistering.
- A skin and hair conditioning agent. Pyridoxine HCL has been approved by the FDA as Generally Recognized as Safe
Superoxidase Dismutase (SOD)
- Indicated as an anti-aging enzyme due to its ability to ameliorate free radical damage to skin and hair cells. Specifically, its ability to treat the type of oxidative stress implicated in androgenetic alopecia, or pattern hair loss
- SOD is a powerful antiageing ingredient & one of three intrinsic antioxidants that evolved naturally to lessen free radical damage.
- The other molecules in this group of enzymatic antioxidants are catalase (cat) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Each of these differs in its molecular structure but all are powerful antioxidants used by the body to neutralize various forms of free radicals.
- SOD possesses the property of neutralizing the superoxide free radical.
Powerful antioxidants
- Boosting levels of SOD may help prevent disease and increase life span.
- SOD has been a desirable antiageing treatment & may improve diseases related to free radical damage and oxidative stress.
- Topical absorption – including involving cationic minerals, SOD’s form a group of powerful antioxidants and are unique from other antioxidants that are classed as non-enzymatic
- Visible ageing occurs after physiologic reserve declines and functional capacity diminishes during progressive and cumulative free radical damage.
- Increasing SOD levels with topical applications can improve ageing. Only tiny amounts of enzymes are required in chemical reactions and these compounds are not consumed – in other words they are not ‘used up’ in the process and remain to act again further free radical neutralization. This contrasts to other important antioxidants, such as vitamin c and vitamin e, which are consumed in the process of neutralizing free radicals.
- The use of SOD in ageing. Topical SOD has been shown to decrease MDA formation and protects cell membranes as well as protecting against fragmentation from free radical damage to collagen.
- Oxidative stress is a condition where more radical damage occurs within cells than is being neutralized by antioxidants
- Our cells are always in a state of oxidative stress because damage always exceeds the body’s protective abilities. There are never enough antioxidant mechanisms to fully neutralize all free radical generation however, without protection age related problems appear sooner and are more pronounced. With SSR topical SOD cell products, associated with free radical damage, protection can be measured. Improvements occur in these markers of oxidative stress and PGE2, a key inflammatory molecule in the arachidonic acid cascade, is completely prevented.
- PGE2 has been implicated in all types of pro-inflammatory processes, ranging from sunburn to skin cancer development. Topical SOD can decrease MDA formation and protects cell membranes as well as protecting against fragmentation from free radical damage to collagen. MDA levels are markers of ongoing free radical damage and these are decreased with topical SOD (such as SSR’s SOD)
- The use of SOD is available in a topical form (in SSR), which can be absorbed through the skin’s outer barrier.
- Studies of topical forms of SOD indicate absorption and reduction of free radical damage/oxidative stress.
- SOD protects against lipid peroxidation in delicate skin cell membranes, neutralizes the superoxide radicals, protects against damaging environmental conditions such as UV exposure, guards against pollution, combats photoaging, and reduces UV-induced erythema, enhancing protective the effects of our Sundancer Products ability to protect skin from sun damage.
- Topical SOD has been indicated to be useful in the treatment of skin diseases involving inflammation and free radical generation. As with all antioxidants, these chemical events occur via the donation of an electron by SOD to the free radical, neutralizing it.
- Unlike non-enzymatic antioxidants that are destroyed during redox activity, the enzymatic antioxidants like SOD persist longer.
SOD Conclusion:
The association of excess free radical damage with solar exposure, environmental stress, pollution, and ageing is well known. Ongoing oxidative stress and its associated inflammatory up-regulation is associated with even further downstream tissue injury. The reduction of inflammatory markers and oxidative parameters illustrates the skin benefits of topical SOD.

- Sodium is regarded as a mild wetting agent in products for sensitive skin.
- It is used as a preservative, astringent and antiseptic and enhances a liquid’s viscosity.
Silver Dihydrogen Citrate (SDC)
- Kills microorganisms by two modes of action: 1) the silver ion deactivates structural and metabolic membrane proteins leading to microbial death; 2) the microbes view SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe's ability to replicate and leads to its death. This dual action makes SDC highly and quickly effective against a broad spectrum of microbes.
- Safety; SDC is non-toxic, non-caustic, colorless, odorless, tasteless and does not produce toxic fumes. While SDC is highly toxic to bacteria, fungus and virus it is non-toxic to humans and animals. Based on the EPA toxicity categorization of antimicrobial products, SDC is category IV, while traditional disinfectants fall into Categories I and II.
(and) Citric Acid
- Citric acid helps loosen the damaged layers of skin. As a result, healthier, younger skin underneath the spoiled skin, comes to the top, giving you fairer skin and an effervescent complexion. Antioxidants in this acid help repair skin, and fortify blood vessels.
- Citric acid is widely used in skin care and our anti-aging creams contains citric acid.
- Citric acid reduces fine lines, is very good in preventing wrinkles, slough of dead cells, prevent acne and treats uneven skin tone.

Magnesium Aluminum Silicate
- A naturally occurring mineral derived from refined and purified clay. FDA monograph as beneficial in treating acne.
Tetrasodium EDTA
- The antimicrobial effects of EDTA have been demonstrated for a range of clinical microorganisms that include Gram-negative and -positive bacteria, yeasts, amoeba, and fungi. EDTA is an Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Agent for Use in Wound Care. Tetrasodium EDTA also helps prevent rancidity.
- Clinical Relevance; Microorganisms are found contaminating or colonizing all wounds. When a wound is colonized with microorganisms they survive as polymicrobial communities encased within a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). This community of microorganisms are attached to each other, often in conjunction with a surface, and form cellular aggregates. These cellular aggregates are referred to as microcolonies. The combination of a community of microorganisms, encased within self-generated EPS and attached onto a surface (liquid or solid) is simply defined as a biofilm. Biofilms form within all wounds but presently used practices prevent a true picture of their incidence, prevalence, and pathogenicity. The properties of the biofilm provide a barrier to phagocytic host cells and antimicrobial agents, in particular antibiotics, which delay wound healing and increase a patient's infection risk. One specific mechanism that a biofilm possesses, in its defensive armory, is the ability to sequester antimicrobials. This sequestration process is made possible by the presence of EPS, which provides the biofilm with an inherent tolerance to antimicrobial interventions. Consequently, the use of antimicrobials alone to prevent and control biofilms is often reported to be unsuccessful in medical conditions and on medical devices. This is due to the fact the antimicrobials in general are specifically designed and developed to kill microorganisms not to “break up” the “house” of the biofilm. A common treatment in both dentistry and the food/water industry is the use of antibiofilm agents, such as EDTA for controlling biofilms. Such an approach could be considered appropriate for preventing and treating biofilms in wounds and other areas linked to the healthcare environment. EDTA, in particular tEDTA, clearly has both antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties. Furthermore, when combined with different antimicrobials its synergistic ability for enhancing the antimicrobial efficacy is also evident. As nonhealing wounds are a direct result of the presence, persistence, and growth of pathogenic biofilms, EDTA when used alongside appropriate antimicrobials and surfactants. EDTA's excellent proven safety and antimicrobial/antibiofilm ability makes it an ideal candidate for use in the development of future antibiofilm technologies.
Saccharomyces Lysate Extract
- Beneficial nutrients to the product formulation since the fermentation process produces amino acids and peptides.
- Both of these nutrients help to stimulate the skin’s cellular renewal.
- Saccharomyces lysate extract functions to soothe the skin with its anti-irritant properties.
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae extract is a skin-conditioning agent
- Ability to "act in oxidative stress and improve skin conditions
- A study compared results of transepidermal water loss, skin moisture, skin microrelief and free radical’s protection after applying formulas containing Vitamins A, C and E esters, a combination of the vitamins and the extract (and all 3 against a control group). Results were compared and although all of the formulas increased the skin moisture on the patients, only the formulas containing only the saccharomyces extract or the combination of the vitamins and extract yielded skin microrelief results, whereas the vitamins alone did not. A derivative of saccharomyces can help to increase microcirculation and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Phospholipids
- Comprised of two types of fatty acid and in the lipid family, a broad group of naturally-occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamins A, D, E and K).
- The main biological functions of lipids include energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes, and as important signaling molecules.
- They attract water and hold on to it. As a results phospholipid are a crucial component for keeping the skin hydrated.
- These organize themselves into bio-layers that gives them a structure similar to that of skin. Because of this it is said that products that contain them have an affinity with the skin and high tolerance.
- Phospholipids retain their structure when applied and because of this is sometimes called a “second skin”. Phosphatidylcholine is deemed to be the queen of phospholipids for cosmetic use because of its smaller molecular size. It contains choline therefore; it is a precursor to messenger molecules that go from cell to cell.
- It can improve and protect cells and membranes damaged by free radicals.
- Phospholipids can only be obtained from virgin oils.
- Phospholipids are carriers or transdermal delivery systems that can help other ingredients penetrate. Phospholipids also seem to be an antioxidant, according to studies, when combined with tocopherol (vitamin E).
Lecithin
- Soy is naturally rich in Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and lecithin which benefit the skin when applied topically.
- Topical application of Vitamin E has been said to promote healing and regeneration through its antioxidant properties.
- Clinical and scientific studies both show that soy works to reduce blotchiness and discoloration by evening out the appearance of pigments within the skin’s surface.
