Why use natural products?

The formulations in beauty products have been called to contain natural ingredients however there is much confusion over the specific ingredients and understanding the terms. Green or sustainable beauty is probably a more accurate term for producing skincare products that are naturally derived whilst achieving results and consumer expectations.

Skin benefits of the ingredients in our products.

VITAMIN A - is a group of compounds that include active forms of retinyls, retinols and retinoic acid, and carotenoids. It slows the signs of ageing by treating UV damage through cell reproduction and growth. By stimulating fibroblasts, keeping your skin brighter, firmer and decreasing fine lines and sun induced hyperpigmentation.

Did we mention the increase in cell production helps strengthen the skins barrier which is our first line of defence against bacteria meaning it also protects your complexion from harmful irritants. It also stimulates cell turnover helping de clog pores and remove dead skin cells allowing the body to slow oil production to keep pores clean.

HYALURONIC ACID - is a naturally occuring glycosaminoglycan that is produced and present within the body and has large molecules within the surface of the skin which draws moisture from the underlying layers into the epidermis. As we age our body produces less of its own hyaluronic acid so therefore needs to be replace or skin will be dry, fragile and wrinkled. Maintaining skin hydration allows the skin to function effectively, soothing, rehydrating and restoring the skin’s barrier function. This decreases risk of skin sensitivity or aggravation in skin conditions such as redness, rosacea and acne. It allows the skin barrier to be successful in defense against free radical, sun and pollution.

VITAMIN C - is a crucial nutrient within the body for you to function at your best. It is an immune booster, helps rejuvenate your skin, protect your complexion giving you a brighter more even tone and helps prevent ongoing sun damage. A potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and reduces inflammation which allows the skin to maintain strength and firmness by activating fibroblasts that make new collagen. Triggering collagen production helps improve fine lines and preserves the skin structures. Vitamin C is often the missing secret to ones skincare regime.
