With beneficial antioxidant ingredients, together with additional botanicals oils, this cleanser helps to rejuvenate, regenerate, hydrate, smooth and alle- viate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The beneficial power of cocoa extracts is endless and rich in nutrients including vitamins A, B, C and E; minerals such as Magnesium, Iron, Copper, Zinc; and powerful antioxidants like serotonin and tryptophan.These are the elements that are necessary to fight against free-radicals and pollut- ants, keeping the skin healthy, radiant, revitalised, soft and smooth.

The concept of cleansing oil could be quite scary in our western mentality, as it can be seemed as something too rich or greasy to cleanse properly. In fact it could not be furthest from the truth. This cleansing oil is super light, gentle and very easily absorbed into the skin, it almost does not feel like oil at all. To start with it is very simple to use, as the spray bottle allows just the right amount of oil to be used with cotton wool. If preferred, it can be sprayed in the palm of the hand and massaged with fingers all over the face and eyes. Secondly it contains some of the best cleansing and healthy skin ingredients known for centuries: Rice Bran and Borage oils. Originally used by Japanese women to keep their skin soft and smooth, Rice Bran oil is also famous for its property to improve the skin’s elasticity, appear- ance, alleviate irritations and in keeping the skin well-toned and radiant thanks to its richness in minerals such as calcium, magnesium and Q10. The Borage oil has been used since Roman times and is renowned for being very effective in improving texture, moisture and healthy glowing skin. It’s ideal for treating skin conditions such as dry skin, eczema, inflammation and minor wounds, so it can be used on sensitive, irrita- ble skin. Together, with the blending of Jojoba, Avocado, Plums and Grapeseed oils, this cleanser has a lovely, delicate flowery scent, which adds to its calming and soothing feel. A real gem in its range that is easy to use, effective with real cleansing and beneficial properties to the skin.
