Active Botanicals:
Heirloom Purple Corn: Bursting with natural vitamin C, purple corn brightens the skin and diminishes dark spots and hyperpigmentation, while its rich antioxidants shield the skin from environmental stressors, combating free radical damage and fostering a glowing complexion. Its vitamin C content promotes collagen synthesis, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness for a radiant and supple look.
Acerola Cherry: Acerola boasts potent natural vitamin C, stimulating collagen production to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Its antioxidant prowess safeguards the skin against UV radiation and environmental pollutants, preventing premature aging and preserving a supple appearance. Vitamin C in acerola also aids in fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation, unveiling a brighter, more even skin tone.
Fermented Calendula Flowers: Whole calendula flowers offer a wealth of benefits to the skin, including their natural vitamin C content, which helps brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of uneven tone. Their antioxidant properties shield the skin from environmental stressors. Additionally, calendula flowers possess anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritation and redness, making them ideal for sensitive or troubled skin.
Blue Spirulina: Contains inherent vitamin C, illuminating the skin and reducing dullness and discoloration. Packed with antioxidants, it shields the skin from free radicals, promoting a healthy, luminous complexion.

Vitamin C in nettle also bolsters collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity.
Nova Scotian Rose Fruit: Bursting with vitamin C, the crushed fruit has enzymatic benefits, gently resurfacing the outermost layer of the skin. At the same time, it infuses the complexion with essential nutrition to restore vitality, boost collagen production, and reduce inflammation while calming and brightening.
Red Raspberry Leaf: Pure, unrefined and freshly pressed, featuring vibrant nutrients, essential fatty acids, carotenoids and flavonoids that boost our skins' resilience and recovery when exposed to the sun.
Aged Regional Honey: Raw honey gently exfoliates the skin by naturally containing enzymes that encourage cell turnover, resulting in a smoother complexion. Its antimicrobial properties help maintain a balanced and enlivened skin microbiome, reducing acne risk and supporting overall skin health. Additionally, raw honey deeply moisturizes the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and glowing.
