Presentation: 30ml size: opaque black PP airless pump dispenser to protect the formulation from oxidation. Bottle is recyclable in kerbside recycling, pump unfortunately is not (as is with most closures)
Multiple antioxidants for more comprehensive antioxidant defence including:
Encapsulated ascorbyl tetraiospalmitate (ATIP): a multifunctional lipid-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) which offers antioxidant, skin brightening and wrinkle reduction benefits. Encapsulated to create extended delivery for continued efficacy and improved stability. Reduced potential for irritation vs ascorbic acid-based formulations as well as better affinity with the skin (being lipid soluble)
Astaxanthin: provides important antioxidant activities through direct free radical scavenging and activating the skin's cellular antioxidant defence system, protecting the skin from damage and inflammation
White tea extract: from the same plant as green tea but made using the tender, new leaves which are rich in polyphenolic flavonoids, typically referred to as catechins. These compounds deliver teas’ potent antioxidant activity, and white tea variety has the highest concentrations of catechins vs green tea
Chia seed extract: soothes the skin and offers anti-inflammatory, hydrating and antioxidant properties, as well as enhancing the texture of the formulation
Plus: Licorice extract, CoQ10, Acai extract, tocopherol (vitamin E)
pH: 4.5-5.5
