- Australian Lemon Myrtle Extract: Known as the queen of the lemon herbs, Lemon Myrtle (or Sweet Verbena) is a flowering tree that grows wild in the subtropical rain forests of Queensland.

Helps to maintain hydration and firmness of the skin by stimulating cellular cohesion, while forming a protective surface layer to increase water content and actively prevent Trans-Epidermal Water Loss, for a complexion that is fresh, supple and soft.

- Aloe Vera: An anti-oxidant rich, anti-inflammatory emollient derived from an ancient semi-tropical plant in the tree lily family. Prized for its powerful soothing and calming properties to re-balance, comfort and reduce redness in irritated, reactive skin, while stimulating cell regeneration and flooding skin with moisture.
- Bio-Optimised Green Tea: A potent form of this ancient healing botanical, specifically derived from its key detoxification molecule, which is known to be 25x more effective than Vitamin C.
