Derived from the hamamelis virginiana plant native to America, Witch Hazel possesses an array of skin benefits, including superior anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. An oil regulator and highly antiseptic, it is of great benefit to acneic skin types, as well as helping to tighten pores and soothe post-shave.

Extracted from the seeds of the sunflower, sunflower seed oil is high in antioxidants and beta carotene, which protect and fight against free radicals. Also highly anti-inflammatory, sunflower seed oil contains compounds that protect collagen and elastin, along with linoleic acid and omega 6 fatty acid to help in cell regeneration.

Hyaluronic acid is derived via the fermentation process of wheat with a specific type of bacteria. It is then purified and precipitated to extract the hyaluronic acid naturally present in the wheat.

Hyaluronic acid is an excellent moisturiser as it acts like a “moisture magnet”. It can hold up to 1000 times its own weight in water and has the amazing ability to attract and bind water molecules, keeping collagen hydrated while plumping, softening and smoothing the skin. With age, the body’s ability to produce its own hyaluronic acid diminishes therefore topical application helps replenish the skin.

Fatty particles derived from coconuts, with lightly emulsifying properties, which improve product consistency and bind moisture to the skin's surface.

Derived from sustainable palm oil, a natural plant-based source, hydrogenated palm glycerides citrate acts as a gentle emulsifier. It helps blend oil and water-based ingredients, creating smooth, luxurious textures in skincare products - contributing product stability while also offering skin-softening benefits.

Baobab extract is a protein extracted from the seeds of the baobab fruit. These proteins significantly increase the barrier function of the hair to protect and lock in moisture.

Derived from the carob tree, Keratrix™ contains biofunctional peptides and amino acids that efficiently strengthen the hair fibre. Its sustained release system allows it to remain active in the hair over time, increasing hair resistance and elasticity, and strengthening and improving the condition of weak and dry hair. Keratrix™ repairs hair damage produced by mechanical, thermal and chemical processes.

Extracted from the Hibiscus esculentus (okra) seed. Hibiscus extract re-hydrates, plumps and smooths the hair fibre by generating a molecular layer of moisture (hydrophilic film) on the hair's cuticle surface, resulting in thicker, shinier, silky hair. Because Hibiscus extract contains anti-free radical properties, it restores balance in the dermal cells of dandruff sufferers.

Hair is 91 per cent protein, which under a microscope resembles linked coils. These coils are what make our hair feel robust, strong and bouncy. When hair becomes damaged, the coils are weakened, leading to breakage. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins have a molecular weight that enables them to penetrate the cuticle layer, internally fortifying and strengthening the hair fibre.

Mineral-rich, Illite clay's unique properties attach themselves to oil, bacteria, and impurities to eliminate them and leave skin feeling cleansed, clarified, and balanced.

Jojoba esters are produced through the hydrogenation or transesterification of jojoba oil. Jojoba esters are commonly used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient, due to its remarkable similarity to the natural oils produced by the human body and its high oxidative stability. In hair care, it helps in supporting the hair's hydro-lipid barrier.

Keratrix™ is derived from the carob tree and contains biofunctional peptides and amino acids to efficiently strengthen the hair fiber. Its sustained release system allows it to remain in the hair for a prolonged action. It is a cosmetic active ingredient which increases hair resistance and elasticity, and strengthens and improves weak and dry hair. Keratrix™ repairs hair damage produced by mechanical, thermal and chemical processes.

Lactic acid is produced via the fermentation of carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose, or lactose. It is one of the most popular alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) as it is gentler on the skin, helping reduce breakouts and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

Derived from the fermentation of Lactococcus lactis, a beneficial bacteria, this lysate is a powerful postbiotic for skin health. By interacting with the skin microbiome it can restore balance and strength to the skin barrier. This powerful active also improves skin hydration, reduces redness, and promotes healthy, epidermal function.

Lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid derived from botanical oils, particularly coconut. It exhibits antimicrobial activity, contributing to a balanced cutaneous microbiome and fortifies the stratum corneum's barrier function, minimizing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and promoting skin hydration.

Lauryl glucoside is a foaming agent used in cosmetic formulations as a natural alternative to sulfates. It is naturally derived from sugar, palm and coconut oil. Stearyl citrate is derived from stearyl alcohol and citric acid. Stearyl alcohol is a naturally fatty alcohol derived from stearic acid, coconut oil or vegetable fatty acids, and is used as a conditioning agent to soothe and soften, and as an emulsifier. Citric acid is obtained by feeding Aspergillus sucrose or glucose (sugar), which subsequently converts it into a citric acid.

Lecithin is a naturally occurring phospholipid found in sunflowers. In formulations, it acts as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent, enhancing texture and hydration by reducing TEWL. Its emollient properties leave skin feeling soft and supple.

Highly valued for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which accelerate natural wound repair to provide outstanding healing properties, Mãnuka Honey also works as a humectant, drawing vital moisture into the skin to nourish and restore, while balancing the skin’s pH levels.

Extracted from the seeds of meadowfoam [Limnanthes alba], Meadowfoam oil is supremely high in antioxidants, protecting against free radicals and slowing down transepidermal water loss in the skin. It is also highly anti-inflammatory, making it excellent for eczema or dermatitis.

A chemical found in the peel of citrus fruits and other plants, Limonene is the chemical constituent of many natural fragrance oils.

The chemical constituent of many natural fragrance oils such as lavender, citrus, basil and rose, Linalool is a floral and spicy terpene alcohol that is found in over 200 plants.
