Collection: Moisturisers & Lotion
The purpose of moisturising is not only to hydrate the skin providing water and emollients but also to deliver others very important ingredients, such as antioxidants, fatty acids and vitamins for anti-ageing action, cells turnover, elasticity and skin barrier functions - and anti inflammatories and antimicrobials to soothe the skin and prevent further infection for certain skin conditions like acne and eczema.
The stratum corneum, the very top layer of the severals that made up the skin, is the most important. If there is damage to the cells or loss of water or lipids (fats) in this layer, the whole barrier function of the epidermis is compromised.
When your skin is not moisturised and hydrated it does not function properly and does not look or feel good because both water and oils in the skin keep the enzymes functioning properly, maintain the elasticity of the skin, flush out toxins and regulate the flow and transport nutrients into the skin.
Good natural moisturisers, and ours surely, are combinations of:
- water to provide moisture to the skin
- emollients to soften the skin, like natural carrier oils (Jojoba, Rosehips, Argan..) and isolated fatty acids (Olive Squalane, Cetostearyl alcohol..)
- humectants to attract moisture to the skin, like glycerin
- occlusives to prevent water evaporating from the skin, like some natural carrier oils, butters and waxes (Coconut oil, Shea Butter, Candelilla wax..)
- natural preservative, antioxidant, emulsifier
- extra nutrients to boost suppleness, elasticity, cells turnover, promote anti-ageing and faith specific conditions, like powerful botanical extracts (OceanDerMX, Harakeke gel extract, Kawakawa leaf extract..)
We have formulated three types of facial daily moisturiser specifics for different skin type - normal to dry, normal to oily and blemished skin - and one Body & Hands lotion that will leave your skin feeling like silk.
Each carrier oil and extract that we combined are believed and often clinically proved to support optimal health of that specific skin type.
Dermatologists suggest to use moisturisers every day, even twice a day to keep your skin hydrated and protected at all times.
