ORANGE BLOSSOM
Orange Blossom hydrosol is extracted from the white flowers of the Bitter Orange tree. Also known famously as Neroli, Neroli Hydrosol contains natural alpha hydroxyl acid that gently exfoliates and works to minimise the appearance of pores. Ideal for sensitive skin, Neroli has a soothing effect on skin that is stressed from environmental factors. Powerful antioxidants in Neroli hydrosol protect skin from notorious free radicals that steal oxygen from healthy skin cells which leads to premature fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
CUCUMBER
There are many facets that make cucumber the holy grail for skincare. Cucumbers contain high amounts of Vitamins C & K; and with the same level of hydrogen as naturally found in skin, Cucumber extract is a highly effective at masking and combating dull skin and dark under eye circles. Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B-5, is another compound found in cucumbers that helps your skin retain moisture. The vitamin A, or retinol, in cucumbers fights hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone because it helps control your skin's production of melanin.
Containing several compounds such as cucurbitacins, cucumerin, and caffaeic acid, Cucumber is excellent at addressing inflammation at a cellular level, almost instantly remedying puffy eyes. With a natural source of silica, a precursor to collagen, combined with substance called phytochemicals also found in Cucumbers, your collagen production is supported, keeping skin taut and youthful.
ROSEHIP
Rose hip oil comes from the seeds of a specific variety of rose, Rosa aff. rubiginosa or Rosa moschata. Renowned as the go-to in anti-ageing, Rosehip has earned a reputation in keeping skin looking youthful. Ageing causes the skins collagen fibres to fragment, or breakdown.

Rosehip steps in to provide these nutrients in abundance, as well as essential vitamins E, C, B and a special form of Vitamin A. This form of Vitamin A has the ability to be penetrate through to the deeper layers of the skin, delivering nutrients at a sub-dermal level. A number of anti-oxidants contribute to fight free radical damage and make this super ingredient the key to keeping your skin healthy and happy.
