  • Manuka Honey, New Zealand's native botanical, a super food for healing and hydrating properties and boosts regeneration of tissue. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, soothing red, irritated or inflamed skin and helps fight free radical damage. It also works to inhibit harmful bacteria and rebalance the microbiome.
  • Hyaluronic Acid (ULMW) penetrates deeper into the skin compared to standard Hyaluronic Acid. This provides deep hydration and helps the skin retain moisture, resulting in a plump and supple appearance. It also helps boost skin elasticity and collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Derived from plant matter.
  • Niacinamide (B3) aids mature and sun damaged skin by improving its texture and moisture. It also aids in reducing red blotchiness and the severity of fine lines. It stimulates collagen production and the production of ceramide.
  • N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG) reduces hyperpigmentation, increases collagen production, moisture content and elasticity of the skin and increases the speed of wound healing. Derived from the shells of crustaceans.
  • Resveratrol helps protect the skin from environmental damage, reduces fine lines and hyperpigmentation, and supports collagen production. Plant derived from Japanese Knotweed.
  • Tripeptide-29 increases collagen synthesis and repairs skin, thus promoting anti-aging benefits such as wrinkle reduction, firming and plumping. Derived from seaweed.
  • Coenzyme Q10 helps reduce the depth of wrinkles and promotes cell turnover.
  • Bakuchi Oil contains a Bakuchiol content of 14%. Bakuchiol, is natural Ayurvedic alternative to retinol. It is proven to reduce multiple signs of aging, including roughness and dryness, fine lines and wrinkles and improvement in skin tone. Derived from the Ayurvedic plant Babchi.
  • Aloe Vera an excellent natural moisturizer, helps hydrate the skin, leaving it soft and supple.
  • Green Tea Extract helps combat free radical damage, reduce redness and irritation, and improve skin elasticity by supporting collagen production. It also has oil-controlling and antibacterial properties, making it great for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
