This powerful moisturising cream is enriched with a number of antioxidants that are known to help combat free radical damage, and it also contains a dynamic combination of moisturisers that assist in improving the appearance of the skin, allowing it to feel soft, smooth and well hydrated.

Key ingredients:

• Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (vitamin C)
• Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E)
• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5)
• Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12)
• Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil

• Rosmarinus Offiicinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract
• Xanthophyll (Lutein)
• Lycopene

Benefits:

• It is rich in antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E and Rosemary Leaf Extract to assist in protecting the skin against UV radiation, thus minimising the signs of photo-ageing induced by UV rays.
• Provides nourishment and hydration to help maintain the appearance of a healthy skin.
• May assist in reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• The highly absorbable and very active oil-soluble form of vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) penetrates more readily into the skin. It is an antioxidant that assists in the prevention of UV-induced cell damage.
• Tocopheryl Acetate (vitamin E) helps to quench free radicals, enhancing the effects of the skin’s natural sun protectors. It also assists in protecting collagen and making the skin look younger. • Xanthophyll (Lutein) is a lipophilic carotenoid extracted from marigolds, is an antioxidant that filters out the harmful high-energy blue light that is present in our everyday environment. It also significantly reduces free radical activity. Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) is an essential coenzyme that is destroyed by sunlight. Replacement therefore is necessary to help promote the growth of healthy skin cells.
• Pure Epigallocatechin Gallate, the active ingredient in Green Tea is possibly the most powerful antioxidant available. It assists in reducing the appearance of sun damage. Rosemary extract is another powerful antioxidant.
• Soya Bean Oil provides essential fatty acids, which assist with skin hydration.
• Squalane is a plant-derived emollient that helps improve the elasticity of the skin.
