Lightweight, hydration-infused, ultra calming, antioxidant-rich, sensitive-skin focused, lipid-barrier repairing moisturizer (that's also coconut oil-free and essential oil free).

Cucumber Refresh is for those who are looking for a lighter moisturizer that nourishes the skin with cooling, hydrating ingredients like aloe, cucumber, and white tea. It's the perfect solution for the summer months when many of us are looking for a moisturizer that plays nice under our mineral sunscreen and won't clog or congest acne prone skin.

The white tea in this moisturizer provides a high concentration of polyphenols which help improve our skin's natural defences against oxidative stress (this means Cucumber Refresh gives your SPF an extra boost when it's layered underneath mineral sunscreen - important for protecting sensitive and acne prone skin against irritation and clogged pores).

The cucumber in this moisturizer has a high concentration of minerals, potassium and sulphur to help soften and hydrate the skin which keeps our skin looking and feeling calm, hydrated and nourished.

When used as a night cream, Cucumber Refresh provides repairing and nourishing support for our skin (including cooling, softening benefits - important after spending time enjoying sunny skies and sweet smelling summer breezes).

Key ingredients 

Aloe Vera: A super hydrator known for its abilities to balance and regenerate skin. It also contains shaman-like healing properties that aid in the calming and healing of acne and irritated/sensitive skin.

Cucumber Extract: This extract is known for its ability to help reduce the appearance of age spots and restoring a natural glow. Full of antioxidants, it protects against further free radical damage which is a major player in the aging of our skin. Cucumber extract is also a natural antiseptic and is known for soothing inflammation below the skin’s surface. 

 Calendula Extract: This plant extract is derived from the marigold family and is known in skincare for its ability to be a strong anti-inflammatory thanks to the rich flavonoids this plant is packed with. The combination of oils and acids in this extract are also famous for being fantastic antibacterial support for the skin, keeping acne-causing bacteria and others at bay. 

 Oat Powder: Oat powder is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties to soothe itchy and inflamed skin. The beta-glucan found in oats help create a protective moisture barrier for the skin and delivers deep penetrating moisture to dry and depleted skin. It’s also believed to improve the tone and texture of your skin, leaving it feeling velvety soft. 

 White Tea Extract: Like it’s sister ingredient, green tea, this extract is packed with free radical fighting antioxidants. In fact, white tea contains higher levels of catechin antioxidants than its counterparts that are known to help prevent oxidization of the skin that can lead to wrinkles and fine lines. White tea extract also supports and maintain collagen production for a more youthful complexion.

 Grape Seed Oil: There’s a good reason as to why this fruit oil had been used for centuries to address skin ailments! Grape seed oil is the perfect thickness for skin application, and as such, is commonly used as the base for many naturally-based products. Polyphenols also make this an excellent choice for treating acne. As added benefits, grape seed oils also contain healthy amounts of vitamin C, D, & E to brighten and smooth out your complexion. 

 Avocado Oil: This moisture-rich fruit oil penetrates deep below the skin’s surface to the lower levels. It’s plentiful in fatty acids that help improve and smooth skin texture by providing hydration and moisture that we lose with age. The antioxidants found in avocado oil can support the elimination and protection against free radicals. 

 Sunflower Oil: Sunflower oil contains vitamin E, vitamin A, and other anti-oxidants. It helps to neutralize free radicals and is lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin to restore moisture. The fatty acids are great for helping improve skin tone and texture as well. 

 Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from damaging toxins and free radicals from pollution, drugs, or UV light (the sun). Vitamin E also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also plays a huge role in many of my products because it helps keep ingredients from being oxidized and turning rancid.
