1. A Centuries old healing herb: Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu kola, is derived from the plant Centella and has been used as a medicinal herb for many centuries now. However, in the recent times, this ingredient has taken over the skincare world, and rightfully so. In earlier times, it was used as a wound healer and to ease various other skin issues including eczema, psoriasis. It has anti-inflammatory properties that help to calm down skin irritation and heal damaged skin. It also has antioxidant properties that help to calm down acne-prone skin while simultaneously delivering anti-ageing benefits by boosting collagen production. It is that one ingredient that you should definitely incorporate into your routine, as it tackles a variety of skin care concerns, that we all tend to face one time or another.
2. The power of an ancient plant extract: Just like Centella Asiatica, another plant-derived herb known for its medicinal healing properties is Horsetail extract. No, it has nothing to do with horses, but everything to do with healing serious damage on the skin. It dates back to ancient Roman and Greek times when it was used to heal several medical conditions in the skin as well as the overall body. It has a potent concoction of antioxidants, antibacterial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can heal several skin conditions like burns, rashes and wounds. It targets the problem areas on your skin and helps to calm down inflammation caused by acne, thus working on the root cause. It also contains Silica, another gem of an ingredient that supports collagen production in the skin. This helps to keep the skin firm, taught and supple by helping to slow down premature ageing.
3. Busting acne and bacteria with ease: We have all heard of Chlorophyll. It is a pigment that gives plants their beautiful green colour. However, Chlorophyll has powerful skin-healing benefits too. One of those is clearing acne. It works by removing the excess oil, impurities and acne-causing bacteria from the skin, while also reducing inflammation. It also helps to tackle the signs of photo-ageing which is caused due to UV exposure. Rich in essential vitamins such as A, C, E and K, Chlorophyll works to provide a healthy, radiant complexion while reducing skin inflammation.
4. Suitable for: Calming inflamed skin, soothing and hydrating the skin.
