Product Background

• A member of the Amaranthaceae plant family, Spinacia Oleracea (spinach) is packed full of valuable nutrients to rejuvenate and nourish skin. Traditionally, spinach has been well established as a super food with a range of health benefits due to its high antioxidant activity and vitamin content. Rich in Vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as vital minerals, this leafy green vegetable plays an important role in skincare. Loaded with antioxidants to scavenge and destroy free radicals, it rejuvenates skin by slowing the aging process. Potent antioxidants Vitamins C and E, along with Vitamin A promoting skin cell turnover, revitalize skin by evening and brightening, giving a radiant youthful appearance. Additionally, Vitamin K exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on skin, which can help minimize the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
• BioTransformation is a unique extraction technology that uses plant derived enzymes to simplify complex botanical actives so they are more easily assimilated by the skin. This sustainable methodology allows for the use of minimal plant material with maximum results.
