Grapeseed & Cucumber Cleansing Oil
Purpose: waterless formula, specially formulated for sensitive skin. Particularly recommended for the skin prone to developing clogged pores and blemishes. Deep cleanses the pores effectively dissolving and washing away oil build-up, surface impurities and makeup without overdrying the skin. Rinses clean with water leaving the skin thoroughly purified and yet soft without depleting its natural moisture. Contains: non-irritating and biodegradable ingredients with proven purifying and soothing functions. Grapeseed and Cucumber Seed oils are non-comedogenic and high in linoleic acid and tocopherols (oil-soluble antioxidants with vitamin E activity). Cucumber Seed Oil possesses a remarkable amount of phytosterols and has soothing and cooling properties. These oils are a suitable match for congestion prone skin.

Powerful cleanser yet non-irritating and gentle. Protects the skin from overdrying. Elderberry fruit extract has antimicrobial and skin conditioning properties. Antioxidants, like those found in elderberries, are excellent additions to skin care regimen as they provide protection from free radicals that contribute to cell damage, aging, and wrinkle formation. Bioflavonoids, which can also be found in elderberries, exhibit astringent properties that help tighten the skin and provide additional anti-wrinkle benefits. This unique superfruit is also an excellent source of undecylenic acid, an organic fatty acid that provides antimicrobial benefits. Formulation:
