The base of this serum is Aloe (which is high in vitamin A often known as retinol) Retinol helps stimulate the generation of collagen which helps keep the skin stay firm and elastic while protecting the skin from radical damage i.e. sun exposure.
Why not a synthetic retinol? Research from FDA suggests that synthetic retinol ingredients may speed up the development of skin tumours & lesions exposing it to the elements without allowing to naturally develop.. thus, aging skin, fine lines. This is because the synthetic retinols are ‘too aggressive’ & lead to premature exposure of skin that is still developing & is much more susceptible to the cell mutations ad damage the sun can cause.
Our natural serum contains a high percentage of organic Aloe, local honey & plant based hyaluronic. All Contain naturally high concentrations of Beta Carotene (the body converts this to retinyl esters) allium & antioxidants that naturally increase the production of collagen. Aloe stimulates the Fibroblasts (the cells in the skin responsible for collagen production) to produce Collagen which helps reduce fine lines & wrinkles by improving the elasticity of the skin. Aloe vera contains hyaluronic acid so applying this to your skin will leave your skin feeling brighter & dewy. We have selected Aloe for the addition of vitamin A, a natural retinol for you skin. We feel this natural serum is a winning formula.
