YUZU VITAMIN C SERUM / Complexion Saving Antioxidant Concentrate
An antioxidant powerhouse serum, composed with sun-infused extracts and cold pressed oil of wildcrafted Yuzu grown on our Kangaroo Valley property and our friend‘s farm.
Yuzu softens even the driest of skin, activates collagen production, restores elasticity and stimulates cell turnover. According to Ayurvedic medicine, Yuzu soothes the 'vata doshas' characterised by space, wind and air, which is why it has been traditionally used for dry skin conditions.
This oil based serum is a 100% natural Vitamin C alternative. It’s brightening, hydrating and antioxidant properties come from synergistic whole plant powders and extracts rather than isolated Vitamin C additives that are often too strong and can interfere with the skin‘s finely tuned microbiome. Rare cold-pressed Yuzu peel oil naturally contains small amounts of Vitamin C within its active nutrient spectrum, giving the skin enough action without over sensitising.
Energetically, Yuzu lifts anxiety, releases tension and instills a sense of calm, clarity and warming refreshment – which seems like an oxymoron, but if you've ever had a Japanse Yuzu tea ('Yuzu Cha'), or sipped a hot lemon water in the chill of winter, you know what I mean...
