These include antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antifungal - pretty impressive stuff.
- Liquid Vitamin C
As one of the most widely used anti-oxidants for protecting skin, vitamin C prevents accelerated ageing induced by the presence of free radicals.
Furthermore it’s been proven to stimulate collagen production which helps with age spots, skin roughness and protection from harmful UV.
- White Willow Bark
It was as early as the 5th century BC that Hippocrates first wrote that a bitter powder extracted from the bark of the white willow could ease aches and pains and reduce fevers.
The bark from this tree contains salicin, commonly referred to as nature’s aspirin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties to soothe and protect skin
- Aloe Vera
Cleopatra used it. Ancient Greek physicians hailed it as a miracle plant. Nothing has changed.
Aloe Vera is a species of succulent plant which has been trusted for centuries to nourish and moisturise skin while reducing itching and inflammation.
- Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral, necessary for sustaining all life.
Present throughout our body, this mineral is a vital component in the proper functioning of enzymes required by the body to repair and protect skin.
- Radish Root Ferment
Radish root ferment has proven anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits.
These were first discovered by researchers studying avian flu. Researchers observed notably fewer cases along the Korean peninsula where these are widely eaten.
- White Tea
Effective in boosting the immune function of skin cells and protecting them against the damaging effects of the sun, white tea has been studied widely for its anti-ageing and anti-cancer properties.
- Lavender & Lime Essential Oils.
Both lavender and lime have a host of benefits when used in skin care products.
