FLAVONOIDS + WHOLE PLANT VITAMIN C
There is no debate that Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is beneficial to the skin. However, Vitamin C doesn’t exist in isolation in the plant world; rather, it co-exists amongst many helpful co-factors.The presence of other phytochemicals such as Flavonoids, Vitamin E, and Carotenoids work synergistically with Vitamin C. One of the most helpful co-constituents is Flavonoids, which are molecules that regulate cellular activity and neutralize free radicals. Every amazing thing that Vitamin C accomplishes, it does so with the help of flavonoids.
Flavonoids are the real stars of the show! Flavonoids work with Vitamin C synergistically in several ways: providing an effective delivery system, metabolizing Vitamin C post-oxidation, and reducing the amount of Vitamin C that is needed by each cell.
JASMINE AROMATICS
This Elixir is my Laurel’s portal to Hawaii, where skin is plump and dewy from the humidity and ocean air.
After cleansing, close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Mist Hydrating Elixir C onto your skin. What arises in this moment? Where are you in your mind’s eye?
Imagine each tiny, delicate flower being hand-harvested. Imagine their long journey, across oceans, through time, into our hands and finally to you. -
Shake Elixir well with each use and mist directly and generously onto clean skin. Follow with a Serum and/or Balm onto damp skin.
