Eye + Lip Cream

ESSE

A treatment packed with plant actives to hydrate and smooth delicate skin, and fight the most common concerns around the eye area such as dark circles, lines and wrinkles, puffiness and brightness.

Benefits

  • Microbiome -packed with prebiotics to feed beneficial microbes and a probiotic extract to shift microbial populations to favour your skin. Baobab fruit pulp is included because it is high in essential micronutrients for bacteria and contains more than 50% prebiotic fibre. This gives the beneficial microbes an available food source, and thus a favourable environment to colonise over pro-ageing species. The product is also pH balanced and includes ingredients which mimic the skin's natural lipid barrier, further enhancing the environment for beneficial microbes. 
  • Active treatment -a highly effective treatment product for all concerns around the eye area. Suitable for the most sensitive of skins as it includes high levels of aloe vera extract to moisturise, heal, and reduce inflammation. LMW hyaluronic acid intensely moisturises, delivering an instant plumping effect which reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The lightening effect of kigelia helps to reduce dark rings and shadows, while the calming oils of chamomile and lavender leave the skin looking bright and soft.

"More than 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes (ref: The Halifax Project). Along with genetics, diet, lifestyle, and exposures to toxic chemicals clearly contribute to this problem. There is growing evidence that we may be overlooking crucial aspects of how combinations of chemicals may cause cancer. The researchers of the Halifax Project propose that combinations of these chemicals could cause cancer by disrupting multiple pathways and overwhelming the body’s defences. Many of these toxins enter our body and face via our skin. On average we have 3062 sweat glands on our face alone! Most of us apply an eye cream morning and night, every day, 365 days, year on year! Chemical ingredients often found in face creams include alkyloamides (MEA, DEA, TEA, MIPA and PEG’s), these are added as thickening agents, emollients and emulsifiers. Oxybenzone in eye creams is bad for us as they have been shown to behave similarly to the hormone estrogen. We find it ironic that the toxins in anti-ageing eye creams can actually cause ageing and DNA damage. This face cream gives you a better option for your bathroom shelf".
