Clary Sage & Rose Geranium are both known as astringents that address congested and/or inflamed skin. Their aromas have an affinity to our nervous and hormonal systems, helping to ease some of the discomfort caused by typical burdens in life.
Tamarind Seed Extract (TSE) has shown parallels with Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to effectively hydrate and visibly plump and soften. TSE is sustainably harvested and gives additional life to seeds that would otherwise be discarded. Abundant in a special class of polysaccharides (long sugar molecules) called xyoglucans. This compound binds water molecules to the skin in a gentle, bioavailable process.
Oats soothe irritated, sensitive skin and can increase moisture when paired with other humectants like TSE.
Nettles, Lemon Balm, Elder Flower, and Plantain provide a menagerie of rich nutrients and minerals including Vitamins B and C, iron, copper, manganese, silicium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and manganese, as well it contains bioflavonoids, saponins, phenolic and caffeic acids, alkaloids and tannins.
- Minerals maintain regular skin functions such as lipid production and cellular turnover.
- Bioflavonoids/Phenolic compounds like ursolic acid and quercetin have an inhibitory effect on elastase and collagenase activities. In short, slowing down the enzymes that cause a breakdown of nutrients like Vitamin C and peptide bonds of collagen - thus helping to strengthen the elasticity of the skin.
- Saponins clarify the skin by accelerating biological activities including anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammatory.
Wild Pansy flower essence, also called Heart's Ease, uplifts the heart and strengthens our emotional intelligence from the heaviness of the world.
Hydrate: Mist the face generously to saturate the skin. Follow up with a facial oil and/or balm of choice to seal in the hydration.
Cleanse: For a very mild cleanse when not removing makeup or sunscreen (such as in the morning), mist a cotton round or cloth and sweep the face. This is a great option for those with a more sensitive lipid barrier that causes extreme dryness. When removing makeup and/or sunscreen, using the Nourishing Cleansing Oil at night is a good option.
