Summer time is sharing time, and Stellenbosch Visio is sharing with you some ideas for gifts this festive season.
FIJN BOTANICALS LUNA NOPAL OIL SERUM
The highly absorbent Luna Nopal Oil Serum presents powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with optimal nutrition, daily repair, and protection. This healing oil serum is made from deeply nourishing oils, such as cactus seed oil.
The base oils, including Kalahari melon, moringa, hemp, and borage, all have small molecular sizes, increasing their ability to penetrate the skin. They are infused with propolis and four rare Klein Karoo fynbos essential oils: lemon pelargonium, bergwildeals, skaapkaroo, and Cape may. Rich in ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), carotenoids, fibres, amino acids, and antioxidant compounds, they repair damage to skin cells caused by free radicals.
The serum rebuilds and replaces collagen in the skin, and its anti-inflammatory properties help in the treatment of acne, rosacea and eczema. It has anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties, and is rich in linoleic acid and oleic acid, which regulate the skin’s moisture barrier.
