The orange flower (neroli) hydrolate relieves tension and stress. It also relaxes the body and soothes irritated skin. It reduces redness, helps to combat premature wrinkles and protects against collagen decomposition. It is an excellent peeling product due to its skin-firming, antibacterial and fungistatic properties.
French white clay (kaolin), in the form of finely ground powder, is a 100% natural raw material, extracted from the earth, very rich in various microelements, such as silicon, magnesium, potassium, calcium, salt and mineral salts. Thanks to its cleansing, mattifying, disinfecting and smoothing properties, it accelerates the healing of wounds, nourishes and regenerates the skin and stimulates tissue regeneration.
The chestnut tree contains many substances in its flowers and bark that are very beneficial to the skin, such as flavonoids, coumarins, tannic acid, or phenyl acids. However, aescin is the most important of these as it inhibits enzyme activity, which have a destructive influence on capillary vessel walls. Aescin seals the vessels, improves their elasticity and increases their resistance to expansion and cracking. In addition, the chestnut extract reduces inflammations and swelling, improves the skin’s firmness and restricts pores.
Melilot and common rue have similar properties; however, these inconspicuous herbs contain one more very valuable substance – allantoin, which has a strong regenerative effect on the epidermis, aiding in its granulation, and thus accelerating the healing process of cuts and irritations.
Marigold is excellent at regenerating the skin, as well as helping to deal with all of its imperfections – blackheads, acne, flaking, and also eliminating rough skin by moisturising and softening it. It also smooths the skin and protects it thanks to its antioxidant properties.
Plum seed oil is ideal for the care of delicate facial skin. This oil is one of the fastest to absorb into the skin and has a very high capacity of nourishing, moisturising and improving the skin’s elasticity. It leaves the skin silky soft. Buckthorn oil is similar in that aside from its strong anti-oxidising effects, delaying skin-ageing processes and strengthening blood vessels, it also soothes irritations and helps in the treatment of eczema. Due to its strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it is also recommended in the treatment of acne. In addition, buckthorn oil hydrates and smooths the skin and protects it from harmful UVB radiation.
Damask rose petal powder adds that little bit of magic making this formula truly exceptional. This luxury ingredient contains a high amount of anti-oxidants, aiding the skin in collagen production. Thanks to its high concentration of the strongly anti-oxidant vitamin C, it lightens discolourations and protects skin from harmful environmental effects.
The peeling base in the SCRUB&CREAM formula consists of finely ground apricot seeds. In contrast to the synthetic granules used in the production of many mainstream cosmetics, the seeds are completely natural and fully biodegradable, and – therefore – ecological. The cosmetic has also been supplemented with high-quality medicinal essential oils – sweet orange and rosemary. Both have healing, antiseptic and firming properties, as well as regulating sebum secretion, while their wonderful aroma does a good job at improving one’s mood and counteracting depressive states.
HOW TO USE:
Apply a small amount of the scrub on the clean wet skin of your face, avoiding the eye area, and leave it on for 2-3 minutes. Next massage the face delicately. Wash the scrub off with warm water. Use once a week.
