Ingredients That Actually Work

Our Ingredients

What We Use & Why

A natural botanical powerhouse rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Aloe Vera soothes irritation, reduces redness and delivers lightweight hydration without clogging pores. A cornerstone ingredient across our sensitive and calming ranges.

Your skin has its own microbiome — a delicate ecosystem of beneficial bacteria that protects and regulates it. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria, helping to rebalance and strengthen the skin's natural defences. Particularly effective for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

An oil-soluble acid that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells from within. The gold standard ingredient for acne, blackheads and congested skin. Anti-inflammatory properties also calm existing breakouts.

A rich, natural butter packed with vitamins A, E and F and essential fatty acids. Shea Butter deeply nourishes, softens and protects the skin without clogging pores. Particularly effective for very dry, rough or sensitive skin areas.

One of nature's most powerful antioxidants. Ginkgo Biloba improves microcirculation, brightens tired skin and neutralises free radical damage. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm reactive or stressed skin.

Exceptionally rich in beta-carotene, Omega 7 and Vitamin E — nutrients rarely found together in a single plant oil. Sea Buckthorn supports the skin's natural repair process, promotes a healthy glow and nourishes deeply without heaviness.

A natural vasodilator that constricts blood vessels to reduce puffiness and dark circles, particularly around the eye area. Caffeine also has antioxidant properties and helps protect skin cells from UV-induced damage.
