This exquisite Manuka Essence from New Zealand features a unique blend of medicinal plants that rejuvenates your skin, leaving it smooth and well-hydrated. Its active ingredients work to restore balance to stressed skin and alleviate inflammation, making it ideal for all skin types, particularly those sensitive, acne-prone, mature ore damaged from sun and extrem weather conditions. It is also an ideal aprés-soleil for face, décolleté and other sun exposed body parts as well as an after-shave to treat irritations. 
 
Traditionally utilized by the Maori people, Manuka offers antibacterial benefits similar to Australian Tea Tree oil but is gentler on the skin. It is healing and soothing and provides our Essence a delightful herbal scent. Kawakawa was traditionally used by Māori for a variety of skin issues for its incredible medicinal properties due to its
calming, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
 
The inclusion of New Zealand-grown Green Tea enhances the formula with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, perfect for calming sensitive skin and reducing redness while combating premature aging.
 
Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful humectant naturally produced by the body, is essential for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. As we age, its levels decrease, necessitating external sources for replenishment. In natural skincare, it is derived from the fermentation of Corn, Wheat, and Yeast Extract, providing a plumping effect that smooths wrinkles and aids in wound healing. We use both Medium-High Molecular Weight to create a barrier that locks in moisture and Low Molecular Weight to address deeper signs of aging, as it can help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles from within.
 
Provitamin B5 is crucial for cell regeneration, helping to retain moisture and soothe irritated or damaged skin, further enhancing the overall effectiveness of this remarkable essence.
