What it is: An essence with a unique complex of pH-balancing ingredients to keep skin properly protected from environmental assaults and toxins.
Who it's for: All skin types.
What it does: Skin looks its best when its pH (potential hydrogen) level is mid-level to acidic. The skin's barrier (acid mantle) is responsible for keeping lipids and moisture locked in as well as protecting against pollutants, toxins and bacteria. Optimizing the skin's pH level is an important step toward overall skin heath and protection from environmental damage and the aging process. This essence acts an another crucial step in your skin care regimen, pre-serum, to facilitate the skin's acid mantle for the perfect pH level. Active enzymes exfoliate and protect skin for optimal health, while fruit enzymes help resurface the acid mantle. Once a strong barrier function is achieved, secondary conditions such as hyperpigmentation and weakened elasticity can be addressed. A healthy acid mantle maintains moisture and keeps skin soft and smooth. Antioxidant-dense turmeric strengthens, while vitamin C from orange hydrosols, pumpkin seed oil and papaya support collagen to maintain skin structure and firmness. Bioactive pumpkin and papaya enzymes are rich in iron, zinc, C and K to infuse the skin with phytochemicals and fortifying compounds, thus strengthening cellular responses and accelerating the exfoliation process.
