W/S YUZU VITAMIN C SERUM / Complexion Saving Concentrate
An antioxidant powerhouse serum, composed with sun-infused extracts of wildcrafted Yuzus grown on our Kangaroo Valley property and organic fruit left over from our friend's farm harvest this year.
Yuzu softens even the driest of skin, boosts collagen production, restores elasticity and cell turnover, and, according to Ayurvedic medicine, soothes the 'vata doshas' characterised by space, wind and air, which is why it has been traditionally used for dry skin conditions.
Energetically, Yuzu lifts anxiety, releases tension and instills a sense of calm, clarity and warm refreshment – which I know seems like an oxymoron, but if you've ever had a Japanse Yuzu tea ('Yuzu Cha'), or even just sipped a hot lemon water in the chill of winter, you know exactly what I mean...

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.
