Check out the ingredient benefits for your skin!  

  • Filtered Water – this natural wonder hydrates, heals, and plumps your skin. It helps to reduce puffiness, prevent acne, and maintain your skin’s pH balance. 
  • Cranberry – high acid content that helps support collagen production making the skin look softer, more radiant, and glowing. Cranberry also has anti-aging properties like reducing wrinkles on the skin, leaving you with fresh, youthful skin. 
  • Clove – reduces the sagginess of the skin and smooths wrinkles. It is a powerful anti-aging ingredient used in skincare. It removes dead skin cells and helps in blood circulation, which can help to ensure youthful and radiant-looking skin. 
  • Cinnamon – rich in beneficial plant compounds and antioxidants, cinnamon helps treat hyperpigmentation and acne, plumps and lightens the skin, and decreases the signs of aging.
  • Lemon Juice – can completely transform your skincare game by lightening dark spots, treating acne, and providing, plumper, tighter skin. Lemons are high in Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant and a brightening agent. Using a face mask with a few drops of lemon juice will remove excess oil from your skin and reduce acne. 
  • Orange Juice – is beneficial for maintaining the appearance, texture, and health, of skin by supporting clarity, radiance, and smoothness. Packed with vitamin C, it can even out skin tones and brighten the overall appearance of the skin. 
  • Raw honey – one of nature’s most treasured skin remedies. Its antibacterial and antiseptic abilities benefit oily and acne-prone skin. Honey is also a natural humectant, keeping the skin moist but not oily. It pulls moisture from the skin without replacing it. Honey’s natural enzymes gently exfoliate skin, keeping the pores clear of oil, impurities, and dirt. It also supports reduced breakouts, by regulating the bacteria on the skin.
