Lavender, Chamomile & Copaiba balsam Elixir 

Copaiba balsam and lavender have both demonstrated protection from certain skin abnormalities caused by UVA light. Chamomile is often used to help lighten dark patches and even skin colour and texture.

The elixir oils are chosen as they work particularly well together to:

  • Protect skin from the effects of photo-ageing
  • Help ameliorate damage resulting from inflammation 
  • Smooth surface imperfections.

There are seven carrier oils and seven essential oils and absolutes. Common to both elixirs are: Rosehip seed, Pomegranate and sweet almond, for their  overall performance. The essential oils common to both are: Frankincense oleoresin, Geranium bourbon, and Palmarosa. They are all well-tolerated by most skin and can help improve elasticity.

The oils have well-balanced fatty acids, especially the ratio between oleic, linoleic and ellagic acids.

Bottle size: 30ml.

Directions: Apply 3-5 drops to fingertips and smooth into skin and leave it for 2 minutes before applying moisturiser. This can be applied daily if skin is very dry.

Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Lavender serum

My skin feels more elastic and plump after using this serum. It smells lovely and absorbs quickly. It feels light but rich too.

Thank you for your review and very glad it has helped.
