High Maintenance Hand Cream

Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil

rich in emollient fatty acids, particularly oleic and palmitoleic acids. Makes skin soft and supple.

Squalane

stabilised version of squalene; an emollient that is present in human sebum. This makes it both skin-identical and a Natural Moisturising Factor. One of the most powerful moisturisers, giving skin a silky feel.

Sesame Seed Oil

rich in nourishing and moisturising fatty acids (especially oleic and linoleic acid) to maintain the skin barrier. The presence of antioxidant Vitamin E neutralises free radicals and protects against oxidative stress.

Ceramide-Like & Linoleic Acid

replenish and create a moisture-locking barrier on the skin and increase the level of moisture, obtained from bio-technology from stabilised Omega 6. Ceramides form approximately 50% of the structural lipids in the skin barrier, protecting it and retaining moisture. Applied topically, Ceramide-Like delivers these natural lipids, smoothing the rough, dry surface cells and sealing the skin’s barrier to trap moisture.

Wheat Germ Oil

one of the highest concentrations of antioxidant Vitamin E in any plant oil. Rich in moisturising fatty acids to moisturise and repair the skin's essential barrier.

Phoenix Dactylifera (Date) Seed Extract

a plant-derived active ingredient extracted from the date-palm kernel. A source of isoflavones, ursolic acid, phytosterols, antioxidant tocotrienols and Vitamin A. Improves skin elasticity, stimulates fibroblasts and collagen production, increased skin hydration and an anti-inflammatory effect. Proven to have a significant impact on the visible signs of skin ageing, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Rapeseed Sterols

plant sterols (phytosterols) have been shown to inhibit enzymes which degenerate collagen fibres, slowing the loss of elasticity that comes with age. Promotes cellular regeneration, boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis to repair the skin barrier, reducing TEWL. Also known to have skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits.

Silanediol Salicylate

a derivative of silicium which induces different biological mechanisms to help fight against environmental aggressors such as UV exposure. This ingredient has also been shown to help the skin to defend itself and to improve cell communication. Silanediol Salicylate has also been found to have anti-free radical properties, helping protect the cell membranes and limiting glycation, whilst stimulating the proliferation of fibroblasts.

Hyaluronic Acid & Rhizobian Gum

activates moisturisation, maintains the integrity of skin structure and leaves skin with a satin-like texture. Hyaluronic acid, naturally present in the skin, acts like a biological sponge, both attracting and retaining moisture within the epidermis.

Biosaccharide Gum-4

provides anti-pollution benefits, helping to protect skin against external aggressors. This polysaccharide, extracted from corn, forms a three-dimensional matrix which acts like a suit of armour and helps to shield the skin against atmospheric pollution.

Tocopherol

also known as Vitamin E. A strong antioxidant with emollient properties that is easily absorbed by our skin to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Apply at any time, especially after washing hands. Massage the cream working from wrist to fingertips, nails and cuticles.
