Organic English lavender hydrosol, Lavendula augustifolia distillate, which contains all the beneficial water soluble molecules from the distillation of organic lavender which makes the essential oil. The distillate (hydrosol) and oil are separated and we use this gorgeously exquisite hydrosol in all of our products instead of using just plain water. |

Resveratrol - plant-derived polyphenol antioxidant found in the skins of red grapes and numerous other plants. Resveratrol has recently been shown, by acting on specific polyphenol binding sites in our epidermis, that it may be useful in preventing skin disorders associated with ageing. Resveratrol was recently featured in the BBC Horizon's programme "Don't Grow Old". | |
Natural WILD-NMF™ - Natural Moisturising Factor developed in our own laboratory containing essential nutrients to replenish and nourish your own skin's Natural Moisturising Factor which is depleted during bathing or showering. |

Organic safflower seed oil, Carthamus tinctorius, rich in omega 6 & 9 Essential Fatty Acids. Safflower seed oil is particularly high in omega 6 which studies have shown is anti-inflammatory and helpful in alleviating eczema and dermatitis. |
|
Organic rosehip seed oil, Rosa rubiginosa, contains natural tretinoin - an excellent source of trans-retinoic acid which is a natural precursor of vitamin A, which affects many of the physiological responses of the skin, such as dermal ageing, immune defense, and wound healing. |
|
Organic Shea Butter, Butyrospermum parkii. We've chosen the most nutrient-rich bioactive shea butter available from a fair trade project in Nigeria which contains phytosterols, Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3,6 & 9) including oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid. With up to 65% of cinnamic acid esters, shea butter is anti-inflammatory and excellent in moisturising, protecting and healing especially dry and damaged skin. |
|
Organic starflower seed oil, Borago officinalis, which contains high levels of the omega 6 fatty acid, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) - which our bodies need to create prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are not only anti-inflammatory but defficiencies cause dryness, loss of skin suppleness and wrinkling. |
|
Organic Immortelle, Helichrysum italicum, is a beautiful flower from the foothills of the French Alps which studies have shown is anti-inflammatory, photoprotective, and improves skin condition. |
|
Natural Vitamin C, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, from orange peel. We've chosen the most bioavailable and stable form of vitamin C available today which delivers pure Vitamin C fifty times better than ascorbic acid and protects cells against UV-B better than other esters of Vitamin C. This innovative form of vitamin C is highly antioxidant, and has been shown to increase collagen synthesis and smooth skin complexion to clarify giving a more even skin tone. |
|
Natural Vitamin E, Tocopherol. We've chosen our vitamin E so that it contains a higher percentage of the active, gamma-tocopherol. In addition to scavenging free radicals, vitamin e is anti-inflammatory and soothing. The ability of gamma-tocopherol to inhibit COX-2 activity independently of its antioxidant function in studies has shown that this form of vitamin E plays an important role in photo-protection and skin cancer prevention. |
|
Curcumin extract, Tetrahydrocurcuminoids, is photoprotective and clarifying, evening the skin tone. Many studies have shown that curcumin exhibits remarkable anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. |
|
Organic Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, as a supercritical fluid CO2 extract, is highly antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. |
|
Wild Frangipani, Plumeria acutifolia, from France giving a light, delicate, and intoxicatingly rare aroma. |
|
Organic Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides, as a supercritical fluid CO2 extract to preserve its healing properties. Sea Buckthorn promotes cell rejuvenation, is anti-inflammatory, is high in Omega 7 and has been proven to clarify the skin, decreases transepidermal water loss therefore improving skin hydration and moisturising, promotes cell rejuvenation, has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, is UV protective and increases the synthesis of procollagen therefore ideal for preventing skin photoaging. |

Hyaluronic acid gives the skin its volume and fullness and is one of the chief components of the extracellular skin matrix contributing significantly to cell proliferation. Ageing can lead to the loss of hyaluronic acid, which leaves skin with less volume leading to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Its hydrating and rejuvenating properties result in increased skin smoothness, softening and decreased wrinkling. Hyaluronic acid also protects the cell structure and defense against external threats such as bacterial infections. |
