These powerful botanical and marine ingredients—Spilanthes acmella, Bioactive Totarol™, safflower seed oil, New Zealand black fern, and New Zealand astaxanthin from native red algae—are carefully selected for their proven benefits in firming, soothing, hydrating, and revitalising the skin.
Spilanthes acmella is a powerful natural ingredient in skincare due to its ability to promote collagen production and temporarily tighten the skin. Its active compound, spilanthol, helps relax facial tension and smooth fine lines, giving the skin a firmer, more youthful appearance. Often referred to as “natural Botox,” it is especially popular in anti-aging formulations for its visible lifting and contouring effects without invasive procedures.
