Ingredients
Baobab ExtractPlumping · Skin Barrier Strengthening · Anti-Wrinkle
Baobab Extract is rich in vitamin C, B vitamins B3 & B6, amino acids, and polysaccharides. It stimulates fibroblast activity to increase collagen I and elastin production, reinforcing the skin’s structural support. Its polysaccharides form a hydrating, plumping film that enhances elasticity and suppleness, while antioxidants like vitamin C and polyphenols defend against oxidative damage and slow collagen breakdown. Together, these effects help firm, smooth, and lift the skin over time.Aloe FeroxPlumping · Hydrating
Rich in polysaccharides, amino acids, minerals and antioxidant compounds, Aloe Ferox delivers intensive hydration while supporting collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. It soothes irritation, reinforces the skin barrier and promotes a plumper, smoother and more resilient complexion.BentonitePurifying · Detoxifying
Bentonite is a clay which contains highly absorbent properties. It carries a powerful negative charge, which bonds to the positive charge in many toxins and impurities. This mechanism therefore allows it to absorb the toxins and impurities and eliminate them. Furthermore, this ingredient supplies the cells with oxygen by absorbing excess hydrogen. Bentonite is adept at purifying and detoxifying the skin without stripping it too much.Stabilised Vitamin CPlumping · Antioxidant · Brightening
Stabilised vitamin C is a chemically modified derivative of Vitamin C engineered to maintain potency and resist oxidation caused by exposure to light, heat, and oxygen, offering enhanced stability and controlled release into the skin. Once absorbed, they function as potent antioxidants, neutralising free radicals generated by UV radiation and pollution to prevent oxidative stress and premature cellular ageing. Stabilised vitamin C also inhibits tyrosinase activity, reducing melanin synthesis and promoting a more even, luminous skin tone. Additionally, it stimulates collagen synthesis by supporting fibroblast activity, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. Because of their lower irritation potential and greater formulation stability, these forms are accepted by most skin types; including sensitive, acne-prone, or reactive skin.Kigelia Fruit ExtractPlumping · Skin Barrier Strengthening · Anti-Wrinkle
Kigelia Africana, sourced from the sausage-shaped fruit of the tree native to tropical Africa, is a botanical treasure celebrated for its extensive therapeutic and skincare benefits. Packed with bioactive compounds, this ingredient exhibits potent antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a versatile solution for various skin concerns. Its antimicrobial efficacy has been compared to modern antibiotics like penicillin and fluoroquinolones, highlighting its potential in managing infections. It has been used to treat a wide range of skin conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, fungal infections, sunburn, and insect bites. In contemporary skincare, Kigelia Africana is prized for its ability to brighten and clarify the skin, improve firmness, and address signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Its rich antioxidant content combats free radical damage, which contributes to skin aging and uneven tone, while its phytosterols and iridoids provide soothing, anti-inflammatory effects that calm irritation and promote a balanced complexion. Additionally, this botanical aids in cell regeneration, leading to a smoother, more radiant appearance with consistent use. Kigelia Africana’s gentle yet effective nature makes it particularly well-suited for sensitive or inflammation-prone skin, offering a holistic approach to skincare that supports both repair and rejuvenation.African PotatoPlumping · Photo-Protecting · Prevents Collagen Breakdown
Hypoxis Rooperi is a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent wrinkles while protecting skin from pollution and UV damage. Its key compound, Hypoxoside, converts into Rooperol inside the skin, where it neutralises free radicals (unstable molecules that break down collagen and speed up ageing). By blocking this chain reaction, it acts as a shield that preserves the skin’s structure and slows visible ageing.
