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.
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.
Super powered by our signature SACRED TRINITY CHARGE™ of Frankincense, Myrrh, Vanilla, Saffron, Light Root and 24k Gold to balance body-soul-spirit alignment.

*Certified organic **certified Demeter biodynamic ^wildcrafted "non-nano/cert cosmetic. Extracts are sun-infused for a minimum of 4 months in Demeter certified biodynamic olive oil. Botanicals are hand picked, air dried or sun cured. Resins are fair trade.
All our extracts are made by sun-infusing whole plant material into early harvest virgin cold pressed biodynamic Olive oil. First harvest, unripe Olives yield a beautifully nutrient oil with spectacularly high phenolic content, which stabilises and naturally preserves not only our extracts but also our skin.
In this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, we co-infuse all the compositions botanicals together, so they commune and synergise, enhancing each other's potency and bioavailablity.
Each plant component has a specific purpose that is intrinsically linked to other compounds. There is massive evidence now that synergistic whole plant extracts are much more powerful than isolated, single components.
