•Contains only ten ingredients.
•Contains no added fragrance (and no essential oils or floral waters) and no alcohol.
•pH is around 5.5 (healthy skin's own pH is slightly acidic, between 4.8 and 5.5).
•Formulated with a gentle and skin-friendly preservative system. This means we've created a unique preservative system for the Essence, to minimise overlap with our other leave-one products, using gentle preservatives.
•Ectoin is a true multi-tasker: its benefits include long-term hydration, diminished skin roughness, skin barrier repair and anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties.
•Liquorice root extract improves the appearance of dry or damaged skin by reducing flaking and restoring suppleness, and possesses anti-inflammatory properties and calms down irritated skin.
•Giant kelp smooths and hydrates skin, with some studies indicating it has the ability to improve collagen synthesis and maintain skin elasticity.
•Anisic acid very gently buffers the pH of the product, whilst also being anti-inflammatory.
•The Essence has been rigorously tested by our founder Kristina and chemist Jaana, both of whom have a long history of sensitive and problem skin.
•Allergy-labelled by the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation.
