LISA SAYS

Whatever you do, don’t leave the house without antioxidants! Wearing SPF every day is a must, but I always apply Antioxidant Facial Oil as ‘skin insurance’, as it helps to defend the skin from environmental aggressors such as UV light from the sun, and blue light from screens, as well as infrared light, which SPF alone can’t do. For pro tips on applying face oil, check out my Journal post.

KEY SUPERFOODS & BENEFITS

Alpine Rose Stem Cell

This highly resistant flower is one of the most typical and prominent alpine plants that flourishes high in the Swiss Alps and Pyrenees. It has unique resilience and regenerative abilities, allowing it to thrive in the extreme conditions of its high-altitude habitat, enduring freezing temperatures and dry air. It has developed impressive strategies to protect itself against dehydration and the attack of free radicals and pathogens. These stressors would quickly destroy the plant if it were not for its ‘resistance-charged’ stem cells, which are scientifically classed as totipotent – able to continuously regenerate cells throughout life, allowing these plants to live up to 100 years. Stem cells extracted from the Alpine Rose (Rhododendron Ferrugineum) were shown to have the same protective effect on human skin, as they did with the plant’s own flowers.

Black Cherry Seed

This gorgeous emollient oil is naturally hydrating. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and E, Black Cherry Seed oil is especially beneficial for inflamed skin. The vitamins and nutrients contained within the fruit are known to play an important role in collagen synthesis and skin healing processes. The oil is abundant in Oleic Acid and Linoleic Acid, essential fatty acids that help to restore, replenish, nourish and hydrate the skin, whilst helping to defend it from UV stress.

Rosemary co2 Extract

A must-use for busy lifestyles, this natural antioxidant provides incredible protection against oxidative damage, UV stress and glycation (caused by too much sugar intake), reducing the accumulation of skin damage over time, for healthier looking skin.

CoQ10

This antioxidant-rich enzyme – found naturally in the body – is responsible for producing energy, neutralising free radicals and keeping skin cells healthy and young looking. CoQ10 levels significantly decrease with age (particularly over the age of 30) impeding the skin’s ability to produce collagen and elastin, causing skin to wrinkle and sag. Using CoQ10 topically, helps to keep skin in optimal health, improving firmness and elasticity, whilst protecting against oxidative damage and premature ageing.

Pomegranate Extract

This incredible botanical extract is a ‘super juice’ for the skin, promoting firmer, smoother and more radiant, even-toned skin. It contains Punicic Acid (omega 5) proven to aid in the regeneration of skin cells – and if you suffer from acne or rosacea, it’s extremely calming. Packed with powerful antioxidants, it provides the skin vital defences from harmful UVA and UVB rays during the day, and it works hard to repair any DNA damage overnight.

REVIEWS

I was sceptical about an all-natural skincare range because of my long standing battle with dry skin and nothing ever working, but I thought I'd give the Antioxidant Facial Oil a go. I am hooked, after just a couple of days of using it my skin is transformed and glowing, the lightweight texture and divine smell make it a luxury to use. This is a product I can't live without. > Caroline Creasey

I use the Antioxidant Facial Oil after cleansing in the morning as it really rehydrates my skin after a night’s sleep. The Illuminating Day Lotion works really well on top of it, as it’s so light and refreshing and it balances out any excess oil – and the scents really complement each other. > Helen Cole

HOW TO USE

After cleansing, warm 2-3 drops between your fingertips and gently massage into the face and neck. Applying the facial oil with warm hands will make the product go much further. You can also add a drop to foundation for a super-natural, glowy finish. For best results, use after a serum and before a face cream.
