Ingredients

Probiotic Vitamin C Serum

Squalane
100% olive-derived emollient. This skin-identical ingredient is a natural component of sebum so is non-comedogenic and is readily absorbed by the skin. It helps moisturize and increase the skin’s flexibility and suppleness.
Hydrogenated Farnesene
Often called hemi-squalane or sqlane light, hydrogenated farnesene is an EcoCert approved emollient and is the younger sibling of squalane. It is lighter in texture and more readily absorbed than squalane making it an excellent addition to formulas for oily and combination skin types. It also has an excellent skin skin feel and is often used as a plant-based, silicone substitute in natural cosmetics.
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C)
Non-GMO, THD ascorbate is an oil soluble, active form of vitamin C. A powerful antioxidant, it helps promote collagen formation & reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has been clinically shown to reduce the appearance of dark spots.
Bacillus (vegan probiotics)
Live probiotics (lactobacillus) help restore skin barrier function, maintain moisture levels and reduce irritation. In simple terms, the “good bacteria” out-compete the “bad bacteria”, balancing the skin’s acid mantle and pH.
Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
Tournesol or “turn with the sun” in French, sunflower seed oil is an excellent emollient, which helps to trap moisture and soften the skin.
Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract
A concentrated carrot seed extract that is rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, and protects the skin and helps preserve the formula.
Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil
A rejuvinativinating 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.
Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant that effectively prevents and controls the production of free radicals and therefore reduces free-radical damage on the skin, which can accelerate aging and disrupt the skin barrier.
Ascorbyl palmitate
An oil-soluble form of vitamin C and a potent antioxidant, ascorbyl palmitate helps protect the skin from environmental damage and helps improve hyperpigmentation.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract
A natural antioxidant that serves an important dual purpose: it naturally preserves the high-quality oils in our cosmetic formulas, and it does wonders for the skin. Rosemary antioxidant helps to detoxify the skin by increasing blood flow to the skin, while its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness and puffiness.

FAQ

When do I use Vitamin C Probiotic Serum?

We suggest using twice a day, after Total Hydration Serum.

How do I use Vitamin C Probiotic Serum?

Mix a few drops of serum with equal parts water, and spread over face and neck then pat and press into skin until fully absorbed. You can add sunscreen over the top of serum in the morning or a moisture boosting drop of Miracle Oil in the evening!

Is it suitable for my oily skin?

Yes! Vitamin C Probiotic Serum is rich in linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) which is often often deficient in oily-skin types. Vitamin C Probiotic Serum can moisturize oily skin types without clogging pores - in more humid environments we suggest using it as your only daytime moisturizer.

Is it suitable for my mature, dry skin?

Yes! 15% Vitamin C helps boost collagen formation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With regular usage, Vitamin C also helps reduce dark spots and hyper-pigmentation in just a few weeks.

I’ve never used oils on my skin before, will this make my skin break out?

Whenever you add a new product to your skincare routine, especially an oil, there may be an initial breakout period as your skin adjusts. This is normal, and can last for 2-3 weeks. To avoid this, we suggest using only in the evenings to start, then working up to using twice daily.

Why do I need probiotics in my skincare?

Probiotics are a new and rapidly developing area of skincare. Topical use of probiotics have been show to have anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory and anti-acne effects. Probiotics strengthen the skin's natural defences by forming a physical barrier of good bacteria on the skin. They protect the skin from harmful, inflammatory-inducing bacteria, and other environmental stressors like free-radicals which can increase the rate of collagen degradation and accelerate the ageing process.
