Hyaluronic In Aliven: Vegan or Rooster Comb?
Vegan Hyaluronic!
There is a lot of confusion around hyaluronic acid (HA) and where it is sourced from.
In the cosmetic industry, there are only 2 sources of hyaluronic acid.
It is either 100% synthesized in the lab (suitable for vegans) or it is sourced from roosters combs.
Our source of HA is guaranteed of:
-
no animal origins
-
no animal testing
-
non GMO
-
Eco-Cert approval
-
NATURE certification
-
vegan
-
non-toxic
-
non-harmful.

Algae Extract in Aliven Gele’: Dunaleila Salina

A great question / comment I’ve gotten on FB about algae:
I’ve heard algae clogs pores and is not safe for acne, is this true with
Aliven Gele’?
Answer:
Algae extracts deemed as pore-clogging are those that are mucilage, as seaweed in general naturally are.
Our algae is a highly purified fresh water blue algae extract of Dunaleila Salina with a very tiny molecular structure that is ‘water-like and would not be pore clogging at all. With its tiny molecular structure, it is easily absorbed into the skin.
When seaweed and algae are comedogenic it’s primarily when someone has an “iodine allergy” that a problem occurs. If someone has an iodine allergy (unbeknownst to them) and they use products containing seaweed/algae it can cause significant breakouts with pustules, inflammation and deep cyst like lesions at times.
This is why they say if someone has acne to stay away from seaweeds and algae’s. It’s cautionary, not because it will make it worse but if they are “allergic” to iodine (which is high in seaweed and algae) it would definitely make it worse.
The solution is we as Estheticians need to always present the question on our ‘intake form’, “Are you allergic to iodine?”
I hope this helps your understanding of why Aliven Gele’ is more than “just” a micro current gele’.

Aliven Gele’ Ingredient Spotlight: Hyaluronic
“Creating lusciously plump, moist skin with a youthful quality”
A benefit of having Sodium Hyaluronate in Aliven Gele’
~Skin Caring Shari
Aliven Gele’
Brilliantly formulated with Sodium Hyaluronate, creating the luxurious consistency of warm honey
Aliven Gele’ is not a gel, but, rather, a gele’. Most gels are created with carbomer, a cross linked plastic. We wanted to stay away from this ingredient, keeping Aliven naturally clean and nourishing for you and your clients skin.
What is Sodium Hyaluronate?
According to WikipediA, Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan found in various connective, epithelial and neural tissues.
.
Benefits of Sodium Hyaluronate:
- Sodium Hyaluronate has a smaller molecular size than HA.
- This makes it especially penetrative, capable of moving into the deeper layers of the skin
- Holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water ! Woot! Woot!
- Hydrating, making skin moist and supple
- Excellent conductor of electricity due to its water binding capabilities
- Naturally occurring inside our body and is responsible for the “plump” quality of youthful skin.
- Because it attracts and binds to water, it causes a slight plumping.
- This plumping helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving skin a more youthful appearance
- This subtle plumping increases volume, making younger looking skin
- The fact that hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the dermis of the skin makes it even more appealing as a skin care ingredient
- People are increasingly looking for products that contain natural ingredients that aren’t toxic and won’t harm or irritate skin.
- The Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database classifies it as an ingredient with a low potential for toxicity and gives it a high safety rating.
- Non-irritating to skin
- Does not leave a “greasy” feel to the skin.
More than just a micro current gel… A luxurious, nutritious, clean and healthy hydrating conducting micro current serum gele’. That’s a mouthful !
InJoy using Aliven Gele’ on you and your clients skin !
Spot Light on Neroli Hydrosol in Aliven Gele’

Aliven Gele’, for use with Micro Current, LED, Ultra Sound and any other modality needing a conductive gel, has a lovely, aromatic base of Neroli Hyrdrosol. What is a hydrosol? Why is Neroli important in Aliven Gele’? Let’s look at the attributes and benefits of Neroli Hyrdrosol. Hydrosols are a byproduct of the steam distillation process during the creation of extracting essential oils. It is a homeopathic dose of the essential oil and used to balance, hydrate, calm and rejuvenate the skin and senses. Hydrosols are delicate. Keep your gele’ tightly sealed and stored in a cool environment, protected from heat and light. This is why I suggest storing Aliven Gele’ in your refrigerator. Think of it as fresh produce. Neroli Hydrosol is known to be excellent for normal, delicate, and oily skin and calming for sensitive skin types. It has a gentle astringent value benefiting acne and rosacea skin types as well. It benefits scars, stretch marks, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Upon your first inhalation of the heavenly aroma of Neroli, which is Orange Blossom distillate, you will experience a calming to your spirit. You and your clients will love this aromatherapy while performing your lovely micro current treatment! Blessings to you and your clients, ~Skin Caring Shari P.S.

Aliven How-to Video
Hello!
This is Skin Caring Shari. I have been a Licensed Esthetician since 2002. Micro Current is my specialty and I have owned and operated four different micro current machines as well as LED and the ultrasonic spatula.
Aliven Gele’ was created to fulfill a need for a clean ingredient deck not found in other conducting gels. If you care about infusing only the best ingredients into your clients skin, this gele’ is for you. Our clients have put their trust in us. We must deliver only the safest and highest quality products to them.
This video is assuming your have purchased your Aliven Gele’ Set….. With this being said…..
I’ve gotten many questions about how to make and use the Pink Himalayan Salt Solution that comes with your Aliven Gele’ set.
I’m going to teach you how to make your Pink Himalayan Salt solution that you will be using with your Aliven Gele’. It keeps your Aliven Gele’ moist and slippery while increasing the conductivity of the gele’.
In your set, you received a 2 oz jar of Pink Himalayan Salt Powder (PHSP), a tiny scoop and a spritzing bottle. I chose the powder as it dissolves easily in water and allows for easy spritzing.
TO MAKE PINK HIMALAYAN SALT SOLUTION
- You will use one tiny scoop of the PHSP
- Add it to your spritzing bottle
- Fill with water
- Shake and it’s ready to go.
- DO NOT use more than one tiny scoop of PHSP, as it will burn your clients skin.
TO USE WITH YOUR ALIVEN GELE’
- Take a small bowl
- Add two pumps of Aliven Gele’
- Followed by 6-8 spritzes of PHSP solution
- Stir
- Apply to your clients cleansed skin with a brush
- May be applied over your non oily serums or used alone
- Apply only to the sections of the face you will be working on
If you find their skin begins to get tacky, simply spritz your brush with your PHSP solution and go over that section of skin to recreate “the slip”. You may also spritz more solution into your bowl and apply this to your clients skin to keep slippery.
At the end of your treatment, simply take a warm towel and gently wipe off any excess gele’. Aliven Gele’ does not need to be completely wiped off as it is a nice hydrating serum for use under your moisturizer.
Aliven Gele’ is super hydrating with it’s hyaluronic acid. The Neroli hydrosol base is excellent for all skin types PLUS the aroma is simply lovely and calming to the senses and the mind. The algae extract ( fresh water algae) increases ATP production and makes the skin luminous… Aliven Gele’ is so much more than just a conducting gel. It is alive with nutrition and feeds your clients skin to a healthy glow.
Best to keep Aliven Gele’ in a cool dark space. Refrigeration is highly recommended. The Neroli Hydrosol is sensitive to light and heat and will change color over time. It is still safe to use when and if this occurs.
Feel free to use it as a stand alone hydrating mask, a hydrating serum under moisturizers, and on other parts of the body to add extra hydration to dry skin.
Aliven Gele’ may be used with any equipment needing a conducting gel. Great with micro current, LED, ultrasound, spatula… You get the idea !
If you care about infusing only clean healthy ingredients into your clients skin Aliven Gele’ is for you!
Please feel free to email me questions you may have. I am here to help. Email: [email protected]
May Aliven Gele’ bring you and your clients happiness and many blessings.
Thank you for watching this video and thank you for purchasing your Aliven Gelé.
Sincerely, Skin Caring Shari
