Nature’s finest

Nature’s finest

Five of nature’s most powerful ingredients help to make our beauty must-haves extra special…

  1. Green tea

Anti-inflammatory properties (great for sensitive and irritable skin types) are just the start of green tea’s beauty boasts: it’s a great source of antioxidants including vitamins C, E and K. In hair products, green tea helps to boost circulation and diminish damaging free radicals.

  1. Coconut

The humble coconut is a beauty superstar: one of nature’s most powerful emollients, its flesh is packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins, improving the skin’s barrier function and providing hydration. When used in hair products it helps to smooth down the cuticles and fight frizz.
