Helichrysum italicum flower oil, Italian strawflower essential oil, also known as Immortelle – Corsica
The Italian strawflower, or ‘Immortelle’, meaning ‘everlasting’, can survive for months without water. The Italian strawflower is great for skin care: it has rejuvenating, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that help treat scars and skin damage. The Italian strawflower is especially suitable for the treatment of acne, scars, rashes, irritated skin, impurities, rosacea and signs of ageing.
The scent of the Italian strawflower is mild and sophisticated. However, despite its mild scent, its aromatherapeutic effects are significant. Italian strawflower relieves stress, releases tension, elevates mood and brings vitality.
Lion’s Mane extract – Finland, organic
Lion’s Mane is an adaptogenic mushroom that has been used traditionally especially in Asia due to its potential health benefits. The mushroom contains high levels of polysaccharides and diterpenoids. Lion’s Mane hydrates, protects the skin from free radicals and supports the collagen production making it a particularly good ingredient for healthy ageing and acne scars.
Most of the world’s adaptogenic mushroom extracts are produced from fungal grains and fungal mycelium, not from the actual fruiting bodies. Djusie is the world’s first and only cosmetic line that uses Finnish, organically grown and very high-quality Lion’s Mane extract, which is extracted entirely from fruiting bodies instead of grains and mycelium. The active ingredients of the mushroom are found in the fruiting bodies. The producer of Djusie’s Lion’s Mane extract specialises in the cultivation and extraction of, and research into, adaptogenic mushrooms.
Hydrogenated lecithin – France
Hydrogenated lecithin derived from sunflower oil improves the composition of the emulsion, and is an emulsifier, a film former and a softening agent that prevents water from evaporating from the skin. In Djusie’s products, hydrogenated lecithin is used as an emulsifier, enabling the combination of the water and oil present. It creates a protective film on the surface of the skin and ensures a long-term moisturizing effect for dry skin.
