Over 500 participants are expected to hike up Mt. Tamalpais in support of the Breast Cancer Fund's annual Peak Hike. Each participant or team has raised at least $250 in donations for the Breast Cancer Fund. After the hike, all participants will enjoy lunch, live entertainment and the Safe Cosmetics Spa Pavilion. The Spa Pavillion will offer massages and mini-facials and the opportunity to sample skin care products that are free from potentially cancer causing chemical ingredients, including Pomega5TM Healing Cream.
"Pomega5 shares the Breast Cancer Fund's compassion and commitment to educating women about the importance of being aware of what you put in your body and what you put on your skin," says company president and founder Tzeira Sofer.
Pomega5™ is the first complete line of organic pomegranate seed oil skin treatments and nutritional supplements, capturing the miracle of the pomegranate in products that use 100% pure cold-pressed pomegranate seed oil. Pomegranate seed oil contains punicic acid, a type of conjugated fatty acid or CLA. Pomegranate seed oil is one of only a few plant-based sources of CLA, shown to be one of the most powerful immune-support compounds ever discovered in nature.
Pomega5™ Healing Cream is made with pure organic ultra-premium pomegranate seed oil, combined with carrot seed oil, calendula oil, arnica oil, and layered with essential oils; plant ingredients known for their restoring and nourishing properties. It is made without fillers, synthetics or perfumes, and is naturally preservative-free.
The Pomega5™ nutritional supplement line includes Pure Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil Capsules and Pure Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil Complex. Pomega5TM oil comes from the seeds of pomegranates grown organically in the Mediterranean. The ideal blend of climate, soil and traditional farming methods yields pomegranates that are renowned for their very high concentration of punicic acid. A powerful antioxidant, phytoestrogen, Omega-5 conjugated fatty acid and rare plant-based source of CLA, pomegranate seed oil has been recently re-discovered for its broad spectrum of beneficial uses for the body.
Breast Cancer Fund is the leading national organization focused on identifying the causes of breast cancer and preventing the disease.
