Description
Perfect for soothing needy skin, this sumptuously soft balm not only deeply cleanses, but also plumps, repairs and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier.
With naturally high levels of Vitamin C and natural AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids), crushed Hibiscus flowers gently slough away dull cells to reveal fresh and glowing skin beneath.
We all know that a dose of Vitamin C is a BIG THING in skincare and for good reason. It is a powerful antioxidant, protecting skin cells from damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure. It also aids your skin’s natural regeneration process – promoting collagen production and helping your body repair damaged skin cells – so its a total winner for tackling those fine, lines and wrinkles and giving you an all round healthy glow.
Natural olive-based emulsifiers allow the balm to be washed away without clogging pores so this is the perfect balm cleanser for those who don’t like being left with a feeling of ‘residue’ . It is these same emulsifiers that allow this balm to be turned into a silky cream for an overnight treatment. The addition of water activates the phyto-mucilage in the hibiscus, turning it into a plant based serum that plumps, hydrates, soothes and cools.
This winning little balm has helped many of my clients with sensitive skin and problems such as psoriasis, eczema and acne. So much so that they say they won’t be without it now.
Key Active Ingredients
- Hibiscus – high in vitamin C and AHA’s– resurfaces and protects against free radical damage. Natural phytomucilage plumps and protects Mallow – anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties can help soothe irritated skin conditions
- Borage – high in gamma linoleic acid (GLA), has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can be beneficial for people with atopic dermatitis

As a Cleanser
Massage an almond sized amount of cleanser into your face. Dampen hands slightly and continue to massage. Leave whilst you brush your teeth to allow the Vitamin C to work its magic. Remove with a warm damp cloth.
