The Benefits

Physical Exfoliation

Physical or manual exfoliation uses scrubbing agents like granules to gently loosen and remove accumulated dead skin cells and debris. As these dead cells are buffed away, your skin feels softer, smoother, and more radiant. Physical exfoliants offer fast and visible results after just one use, with even more noticeable improvements with regular use. This type of exfoliation is perfect for those with flaky, thickened, and congested skin.

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Regenerating

Regenerative benefits work to restore and renew your skin at a cellular level. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, they help repair damage, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The result is a rejuvenated, firmer, and more youthful complexion that radiates vitality.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Active Ingredients

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol, also known as Pro-vitamin B5, is a potent humectant renowned for its exceptional hydrating, repairing, and soothing qualities. When applied to the skin, Panthenol converts to Coenzyme A, an enzyme crucial for skin regeneration. Its versatile benefits and compatibility with all skin types make Panthenol a preferred choice for replenishing and fortifying dehydrated and compromised skin.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, is a salt form of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a low molecular size (<70 kDa), which allows it to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. Sodium Hyaluronate has superior hydrating and skin-plumping benefits. Increased skin hydration also contributes to efficient natural skin exfoliation, supporting the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damageing free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.

Omega Rich Oils (3, 6, & 9)

Omega Rich Oils combine a variety of oils rich in Omega Fatty Acids (3, 6 & 9), essential for skin health, as our skin can only produce minimal amounts. These fatty acids penetrate between skin cells, enhancing the skin's barrier function, boosting water retention, and nourishing the skin. They also contain natural antioxidants that protect against UV-induced damage and slow down cellular ageing.

Olive Oil Fractions

Olive Oil Fractions are potent extracts from Olive Oil, packed with antioxidants, Squalane, and Phytosterols. This extract offers protective, nourishing, and soothing benefits. It also combats glycation, a process where sugars bind to proteins like collagen, preventing their breakdown and maintaining skin elasticity. Its versatility makes it suitable for all skin types, especially beneficial for dehydrated, weakened, and sensitive skin.

Almond & Hazelnut Granules

Almond and Hazelnut Granules function as physical exfoliants, gently removing dead skin cells and impurities to unveil smoother, softer skin. Their round, spherical shape ensures they are gentle on the skin whilst effectively exfoliating, leaving the skin rejuvenated and refreshed.

Rice Fractions

Rice fractions, extracted from Rice Bran Oil, contain potent antioxidants like Ferulic Acid and Phytosterols. Ferulic Acid provides skin protection and brightens the complexion. Additionally, Phytosterols mimic Cholesterol's structure in the lipid barrier, which enhances hydration, improves skin barrier function, and nourishes the skin. Cholesterol plays a vital role in maintaining skin integrity by helping to retain moisture, support the skin barrier against external stresses, and promote overall skin health and resilience.

Aloe Leaf Juice

Aloe Leaf Juice has a long history of use for its calming, anti-inflammatory, and moisturising effects on the skin. Its versatility makes it suitable for all skin types, especially beneficial for dehydrated, weakened, and sensitive skin.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, is a salt form of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a low molecular size (<70 kDa), which allows it to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. Sodium Hyaluronate has superior hydrating and skin-plumping benefits. Increased skin hydration also contributes to efficient natural skin exfoliation, supporting the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Understanding Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is often misunderstood as a skin type when it’s actually a condition where the skin becomes easily reactive to environmental factors, products, or lifestyle changes. This can lead to redness, itching, dryness, or overall discomfort, making everyday skincare feel like a challenge. This heightened sensitivity is usually due to a weakened skin barrier, which leaves the skin more vulnerable to irritants and allergens. Common triggers can include harsh weather, certain skincare ingredients, and even stress, all of which can exacerbate the symptoms of sensitive skin. Sensitive skin occurs when the protective barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out becomes compromised, making the skin more prone to reacting. This can result in a cycle of irritation and discomfort. To manage sensitivity, it’s essential to use gentle, soothing products that minimise potential irritants. Opting for fragrance-free formulas and calming ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and oat extract can help soothe and nurture the skin. Strengthening the skin barrier with moisturisers that support hydration and avoiding harsh treatments can gradually improve skin resilience and reduce sensitivity. With the right care, sensitive skin can feel calmer and more comfortable. Incorporating soothing products into your routine can help reduce redness and irritation, allowing your skin to look and feel more balanced. Over time, you’ll likely notice an improvement in your skin’s ability to tolerate everyday environmental stressors, bringing peace of mind and confidence. Caring for sensitive skin is all about choosing gentle, thoughtful products that work with your skin rather than against it. By focusing on strengthening your skin barrier and avoiding known irritants, you can help your skin become less reactive and more resilient. Embrace a nurturing approach to skincare, and enjoy the comfort of skin that feels soothed, protected and beautifully balanced.
