Alongside the fruit extracts and microencapsulated vitamins, A, B, C, and E, we have rounded out our formula with 5 more amazing components derived from nature.
 
 These 5 powerful ingredients derived from nature make immediate perfection possible:

 1.    Ceramides

What they are: Lipid molecules that are found in cell membranes. They hold skin cells together, forming a protective layer that retains moisture. 
What they do: Ceramides are used to substitute the natural lipids that are lost from exposure to harsh environmental factors and during the aging process. They restore skin’s moisture and to help protect it against harm from foreign elements. They are also effective in treating eczema.

2.    Hyaluronic acid

What it is: A natural substance in the human body that regulates cell renewal, reduces skin damage and maintains skin’s moisture and elasticity.
What it does: Hyaluronic acid creates a moisture barrier on the skin, helping to make it smoother and softer. This ingredient does wonders for dehydrated skin. Because it is already naturally present in our bodies, hyaluronic acid is a safer alternative to synthetic ingredients.

3.    Bioflavonoids

What they are: An essential component of plants, they are responsible for the vibrant color of many fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
What they do: Together with vitamin C, they protect bio-molecules in the dermis such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Due to their antioxidant power, they protect skin from free radical damage, improving cellular activity. They also help to synthesize collagen and elastin fibbers, which give the skin elasticity and firmness.

4.    Kigelia Africana

What it is: Popularly known as the Sausage tree, it is widely distributed through South, Central and West Africa. It is a multipurpose medicinal plant with many attributes and considerable potentials.
What it does: Traditionally, Kigelia Africana was used to enhance beauty. It can be found in anti-ageing and regenerating skin care products because it increases skin firmness and elasticity.

5.    Organic Green Tea

What is it: Initially, green tea was popular in China and used medicinally for centuries to treat everything from headaches to depression. It contains a high amount of antioxidants as well as enzymes, amino acids, and phytochemicals like polyphenols. It also has B vitamins, folate, manganese, potassium, magnesium and caffeine.
What it does: Green tea protects the skin from free radicals and offers anti-oxidant and nourishing properties.  It helps flush out toxins from the skin, heals blemishes and scars and reduces inflammation.
It even improves the skin’s elasticity!
