STAR INGREDIENTS

DRAGON'S BLOOD RESIN

Obtained from the Dragon's Blood Tree, It’s actually a resin, with some seriously impressive science-backed skincare benefits. It has the ability to soothe, hydrate and plump up skin. It’s also thought to minimise redness and calm sensitive skin. Studies show that dragon’s blood has a significant effect on wounds. Research also shows that Dragon's blood has a pro-collagen effect on the skin therefore minimising the signs of ageing. 

BAKUCHIOL

Bakuchiol possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. According to clinical studies, Bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photo-aging (wrinkles, hyperpigmentation) with a better skin tolerance. It works through the same receptors that retinol uses, which is why many refer to it as a natural retinol alternative.

ROSEHIP

Rosehip oil is harvested from the seeds of rose bushes, which are commonly grown in Chile & that's exactly where our Organic Rosehip Seed oil is sourced From. Rosehip oil is loaded with vitamins A.C.E which helps in increasing skin cell turnover. Vitamin A in particular is a wrinkle eraser and skin evener. Vitamin A helps to build collagen, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Horsetail is a plant that primarily grows in temperate climates including North America and Europe. It's reported to contain more silicon in the form of silica and silica acids than any other herb, in a form that's highly absorbable by the body.
