INGREDIENTS

ALOE VERA
Regarded as the “plant of immortality” by the Egyptians, aloe vera has been prized for centuries for its soothing and healing properties. Aloe vera leaf gel contains over 75 active ingredients and has been found to have moisturizing, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and collagen-stimulating properties. Most of its functionality is believed to result from the synergistic action of various polysaccharides and phytosterols, which attract water and form a protective barrier over the skin to moisturize, reduce flakiness and restore suppleness to the skin.
Antibacterial Complex
A blend of antibacterial plant extracts of sage, yarrow, horsetail, lavender and nettle that helps reduce the presence of acne and blemishes.
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
An oil-soluble, active form of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps promote collagen formation, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and brighten the skin.

Blueberry Seed Oil

Bulbine
In the same family as aloe vera, bulbine leaf juice has a soothing, calming effect when applied topically. It also enhances skin hydration, by improving moisture retention through stimulation of specific protein receptors in the skin responsible for water transport.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride

Carrot Seed Oil
A rejuvenating plant oil naturally rich in vitamin A that helps moisturize and protect the skin. Carrots are rich in carotenes, tocopherols, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins E and K. Suitable for all skin types.
Caviar Lime
Provides gentle exfoliation of the skin due to the naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) found in caviar lime (Microcitrus Australasica) fruit, which is native to Australia. Caviar Lime extract helps brighten the skin, minimize the appearance of pores and leave the skin feeling soft and renewed. Caviar lime's mechanism of action is unique in that it promotes the skin’s own natural exfoliating process; caviar lime penetrates keratinocytes (the most common cell found on the outermost layer of skin) and causes calcium ions to flow in the keratinocytes, kickstarting the skin's natural exfoliation process. In other words, caviar lime works in harmony with the skin's own natural mechanisms, providing a subtle yet highly effective approach to exfoliation.
Ceramide NP
Helps reinforce the skin's natural lipid barrier and increases hydration. One of the most abundant ceramides found naturally occurring in the skin, and essential to a healthy, functioning skin barrier.
Cetyl Alcohol
