L22
A blend of natural oils derived from jojoba, macadamia, and olive, designed to mimic the skin's surface lipid profile to that of a 22-year-old. The lipid barrier is responsible for the overall recovery and maintenance of our skin's health. Think of it as an invisible wall on the surface of the skin, that protects the skin from water loss, environmental damage (such as pollution, sun, wind), and bacteria. As we age, our skin's natural oil flow slows down; leading to drier skin and deterioration of this lipid barrier function. L22 is clinically proven to rebuild the skin's lipid barrier profile back to a healthy 22-year-old barrier function, helping to increase moisture and hydration levels within the skin - plumping and smoothing fine lines, while reducing redness and sensitivity, and increasing skin elasticity and firmness.
Safflower oil
A natural plant extract, this oil is so gentle on the skin; it is often found in baby skincare products. This oil naturally contains linoleic acid – an omega 6 fatty acid, which works on improving the overall quality and texture of the skin, helping to reduce irritation and inflammation, while energising the skins cell turnover - assisting in collagen and elastin production within the skin.
Yarrow oil
This essential oil helps to hold moisture within the skin, helping to reduce dryness and ageing, while improving the skins overall texture. This oil also aims to reduce inflammation and irritation within the skin, while strengthening the skins keratin layer (which helps to build the outer layers of the skin), helping to reduce overall skin sensitivity.

This oil is naturally high in vitamins A, C, E and K to assist in the overall health of the skin, as well as omega 5 fatty acid which will hydrate the skin, while also protecting the skins moisture content; reducing further dryness and dehydration within the skin.
Camellia oil
Derived from the seeds within the Camellia flower, this oil is light-weight in texture, with the ability to add deep moisture and nourishment to dry skin. Camellia oil has a very similar composition to our own skins natural oil, making it very easily absorbed by the skin, with no irritation.

Joboba oil
Jojoba is a golden liquid wax (often called jojoba oil) that is made from the jojoba bean. This natural oil closely resembles our own skins oil makeup; which allows for easy absorption. Because of its similar makeup to our own skins natural oils, not only adding to the oil on the skins surface layers, but also adding nourishment to the deeper skin layers, thanks to its ability to penetrate deep beneath the skins surface. This deep skin nourishment helps to soften lines, while nourishing the skin from within, ensuring it remains protected. Jojoba naturally contains a balance of vitamins A, D and E which are known as skin healing vitamins.
Vitamin E
This powerful vitamin is a nutrient for the skin; neutralising free radicals, while assisting in prevention of premature ageing, brightening of skin tone and improving moisture levels. Remember - free radicals within the skin cause destruction to our collagen, so to reduce this as much as possible, our skin needs antioxidants, such as Vitamin E to fight back against the effects of time!
