Zinc Oxide (and) Coco-Caprylate/Caprate (and) Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate (and) Isostearic Acid

What is it?: Zinc Oxide Dispersion

Origin: Natural

Regulatory: ECOCERT

An elegant dispersion of zinc oxide in coco-caprylate /caprate that offers broad spectrum UV protection (UVA/UVB) with exceptional transparency. 

Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight causes the production of free radicals which causes oxidative stress and therefore ageing of the skin, including wrinkles and loss of elasticity of the skin. Our Zinc Oxide dispersion not only provides broad spectrum UV protection, but also assists in protecting the skin against irritations and can help to prevent sunburn.

Kousou ekisu & Cyathea Medullaris Leaf extract & Centella asiatica leaf extract & Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice) root, Pentylene glycol

What is it?: Red Seaweed, Mamaku - Black Fern, Gotu Kola & Liquorice Root Active Ingredient

Origin: Natural

Regulatory: ECOCERT/COSMOS

This active ingredient has been obtained from New Zealand Native Red Seaweed, Mamaku - Black Fern, New Zealand grown Gotu Kola and Liquorice Root. 

Due to New Zealand’s geographical location and pristine natural environment, New Zealand’s land and sea botanicals may well contain one of the most powerful levels of antioxidants in the world. 

This bioactive ingredient has been processed via bio-liquefaction method. This low-speed and cold-crushing technology makes it possible to recover 100% of plant bioactive compounds in a completely bio-available and active form as water-based liquid ingredients, retaining the plant vitality and efficiently releasing vitamins, antioxidants, enzymes, and minerals.

The New Zealand Native Red Seaweed is an excellent source of minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes. It contains sulphated glucosaminoglycans that are known to form a fishnet like matrix that help to provide a potent hydrating, tightening and plumping effect on the skin. 

The Mamaku - Black Fern is a native New Zealand plant that was used in traditional Māori herbal medicine as a dressing for sores. It contains Glucuronomannans, which creates a viscoelastic matrix that can help hydrating, restoring and lifting the skin.

Gotu Kola and Liquorice Root inhibit the expression of tyrosinase, thereby producing a catalyst effect by reducing pigmentation, blemishes and brightening the skin. 

Pentylene glycol acts as a hydrating and solvent agent. It’s antimicrobial, aids penetration of other ingredients and acts as a silky-feeling enhancer. 

The combination of these key ingredients help promote skin vitality and glow.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in human tissues such as skin, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It acts as a connective tissue and helps to hold water. 

As we age, the content of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, which may contribute to loss of freshness, hydration, moisture and elasticity in the skin and the development of wrinkles. 

Our hyaluronic acid is produced from by-products of the bacterial fermentation of corn, wheat and yeast extract. When added to our products, it may help to soften and restore skin’s elasticity delivering a significant anti-wrinkle effect.

Sodium Phytate, Aqua, Alcohol

What is it?: Chelating Agent

Origin: Natural

Regulatory: ECOCERT/COSMOS

Acts as a natural chelating agent that effectively prevents metal-catalysed reactions. Metal ions can enter a cosmetic formulation through the production equipment, as impurities from ingredients (e.g. extracts, pigments) and through process water. In cosmetic products, these ions can promote oxidation reactions, rancidity and may cause discoloration.

In addition to its chelating properties stabilising cosmetic products it works synergistically with other antioxidants helping to moisturise, balance oily skin, improve skin elasticity and reduce pore size.
