Unusual natural skin care ingredients you may not have heard about
Looking for reliable and effective skincare products can often be a daunting task. However, educating yourself on skincare ingredients can make it easier to find the right product for you. Fortunately, we have access to scientific papers and apps that explain the ingredients on the back of the labels.
At Rinascentia, we prioritise well-being by taking care of the mind, body, and skin. We like to go beyond the ingredients that are trending right now and use our knowledge of the latest scientific research on different botanical ingredients to create unique skincare formulations. We are very particular in the ingredients that we source and ensure that they are sustainably sourced and made.
Some of the ingredients that we use in our products may be new to you. For instance, Quora Noni is a potent "dermohacking" extract that helps prevent acne by balancing the skin's microbiome. Quandong, which is high in Vitamin C, Rutin, and Phenolic Acids, works to keep sebum and debris moving and skin cells clear. It is best suited for dull and uneven skin tone, pigmentation, redness, dehydration, and puffiness.
We also use Gotu Kola, which is known to speed up the skin's healing process, thanks to its amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and phytochemicals. Research shows that topical application of Gotu Kola can be helpful in visibly soothing skin irritation and sensitivity, including redness and uneven skin tone. Kangaroo Paw is another ingredient we use, which is rich in ferulic acid, a potent antioxidant that brightens the skin and has an anti-aging effect. It also helps to reduce dark spots and regenerate the skin.
Sea Kelp Bioferment is a natural and super moisturising extract that soothes the skin and reduces the appearance of swelling and irritation. Zizyphus, also known as the Chinese Date, has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine for its sedative, calming, and antimicrobial activities. It helps improve elasticity, firmness, and scars.
We have combined all of these ingredients in our Calm and Clarify serum, which was created during lockdown for our family members working in the health and hospitality sectors to soothe mask acne, redness, and inflamed skin. This formula contains a high-performing combination of anti-irritants, anti-inflammatories, and antioxidants with microbial activity to help soothe and calm acne, redness, and irritation. Our Calm and Clarify isn’t limited to acne or sensitive skin, it can also help improve skin texture and strengthen the skin barrier on all skin types.
