Pelargonium graveolens flower oil, rose geranium essential oil – Egypt
Rose geranium (more commonly known as geranium) is one of the best essential oils in terms of skin-care properties. It balances the skin’s sebum secretions, tightens and brightens the skin, revitalises the skin where it is exposed to external stressors, and treats fine lines, scars and impurities. Thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, geranium works excellently in the treatment of acne and impurities and soothes irritated, reddened and inflamed skin.

Mastic tree resin extract – Switzerland
The extract made from the mastic tree resin is a natural alternative to retinol. Mastic is an aromatic resin that comes from a tree which exclusively grows on the Greek island of Chios.

It has been proven by in vivo tests to increase skin density and elasticity, to give lifting effect, refine pore visibility, decrease sebum secretion and blemishes, and increase the skin’s moisture level. The extract has been found to support the retinoic acid that occurs naturally in the skin by limiting the activity of the enzyme that destroys it.
