Description

Benefits:

Salix alba is called nature’s aspirin. It has powerful antioxidants that help protect skin from environmental stressors. This antibacterial and anti-inflammatory extract clears up clogged pores by gently exfoliating and reducing oiliness and red and itchy acne flare-ups.   It keeps the skin tight and makes the pores appear smaller while slowing signs of aging.

Borago officinalis seed oils are considered a potential natural acne treatment: They exhibit decisive anti-inflammatory actions that treat skin conditions like eczema, acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and many other inflammatory skin problems associated with weakened skin barrier. It improves wound healing and reduces skin infections.

Achillea millefolium is a botanical ingredient that’s been around for thousands of years, and it’s easy to see why many seek its benefits in their skincare products. Skin benefits seem to be almost endless. In addition to centuries of history from cultures worldwide, scientists have identified more than one hundred naturally active chemical compounds in the Achillea millefolium plant. These include acting as an antiseptic to fight against infection-causing bacteria. It tightens the skin as a natural astringent, shrinking the appearance of pores and reducing acne. It soothes the skin with anti-inflammatory properties and acts as an analgesic to help with mild pain relief and irritations. Assists in healing broken capillaries. Promotes good pH levels in the skin. Restores the skin’s moisture, making it great for fighting eczema. Promotes healing of cuts and grazes on the skin while reducing scarring.
