Rose Hydramist

Sodium Hyaluronate, the salt of Hyaluronic Acid, is a potent humectant that naturally occurs in skin and connective tissue, retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water, and 370% more moisture even than collagen. Ageing reduces Hyaluronic Acid production, causing dryness, thinning, and wrinkles. Applying it topically re-plumps cells, improving skin appearance and smoothing out fine lines.

The gel in Aloe Vera's cactus-like fronds contains biologically active compounds like acetylated mannans, polymannans, anthraquinone, and lectins, which cool, soothe, moisturize, and soften skin. With antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, it's been used for over 6000 years to treat sunburn, blisters, and burns, promoting exfoliation and healthy cell growth.

Extracted by steam distilling Bulgarian Damask Rose petals, Rosa Damascena is a true essential oil, distinct from chemically extracted Rose Absolute or Rose De Mai. It has antiseptic, antiviral, astringent, and cicatrisant properties, offering excellent emollient and hydrating benefits for dry, sensitive skin. Its scent has also been shown to promote feelings of relaxation.

Glycerol, or glycerin, is a colorless, odourless liquid used in pharmaceuticals and food. It reduces wound inflammation and is approved for wound care and skin grafts. In skincare, its humectant properties draw moisture to the skin, mimicking the natural moisturizing factor, enhancing hydration, resiliency, and youthfulness without triggering allergies.

Sodium Lactate is the soluble salt of Lactic Acid which forms when foods such as milk go through the process of fermentation. Its skin benefits have been known for a long time - Cleopatra famously bathed in sour milk for beautiful skin. The vegan, milk-free version we use is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) which aids exfoliation and rejuvenation, reduces photo-aging, treats sun damage, and works as a humectant.
