Recommended for all skin types specifically ageing and dehydrated skin.

Phospholipids are a type of lipid (fat) that occur naturally in the skin and help keep it healthy by locking in moisture. External aggressors can strip away the top layer of phospholipids resulting in dry, dehydrated skin. Added to skincare products and applied topically, these excellent humectants are able to replace this lost protective layer. They are carriers that allow for quick absorption and help other ingredients penetrate the skin more effectively.
Borage seed oil is pressed from the seeds of borage flower and has the highest content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) of any oil. It greatly benefits dry, itchy and inflamed skin. Gamma-linolenic acid has a rejuvenating effect on the skin’s barrier function as it reduces transepidermal water loss, which helps maintain the skin’s elasticity. Borage seed oil is a calming and soothing oil with excellent astringent, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions.
Ubiquinone, also known as coenzyme q1o, is an antioxidant produced by the body to reduce oxidative damage to cells. It reduces with age and exposure to sun.

Its anti-inflammatory action helps calm and soothe sensitive, irritated skin.
