Your skin deserves respect and protection
Our skin can often get irritated and dry or itchy and this can be down to a damaged skin barrier.
We often over exfoliate with harsh grainy products that leave us blotchy and our skin textured and crying out for some soothing. Brands are recognising the need for a gentle range of products to enhance our barrier while still being efficacious.

Hints of lavender, lemon peel and green tea provide a subtle aroma while certified microbiome friendly squalene, derived from sugarcane, helps to enhance elasticity for skin that looks smooth, supple and soft.
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid draws water to the skin, locking it in for rapid and long-lasting hydration while sustainably grown micro-sunflower extract helps to boost clarity and luminosity.
