Description Live Botanical An oil-free, multi-layered serum to hydrate, calm, lessen scarring and gently exfoliate. A base of soothing, emollient-rich herbs of wild pansy, marshmallow, and aloe soften and smooth the skin. Working to improve hydration and retain water. Effective yet sensitive skin-friendly plant-based lactic acid (vegan) not only exfoliates and brightens but improves the skin's natural moisturizing factor, leveraging the other hydrating herbs to refresh the skin. KEY BIOACTIVES: A blend of both willow bark and meadowsweet. Using two different extraction methods to obtain the whole plant inflammation modulation compounds plus a version to obtain salicylic acid which penetrates into the sebaceous glands, cleaning pores to lessen congestion and clear the skin. The particular formula ensures it supports both oily and dry skin. Sea fennel, orange flower, and a unique peptide calm redness and improve overall tone for a clear complexion. Superfoods of green tea and pomegranate impart a range of skin-loving antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental damage, while also containing regenerative compounds to firm the skin. Moth bean extract has been shown to be 50x more effective than retinyl palmitate (a very mild form of retinoids) to promote cellular renewal and lessen hyperpigmentation. No additional essential oils have been added so the scent is very mild and suitable for most skin types from oily to dry, including sensitive.
