Moisturising Essence

When it comes to ingredients adding value to the skin, we believe the more the merrier. Instead of using just water – which is neutral for the skin – we combined organic hydrosols from frankincense, rosemary and bay laurel, which are packed with natural compounds that work synergistically to promote a healthy complexion and provide a multitude of advantages:

Frankincense hydrosol – possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties, soothing redness and irritation while helping to improve overall skin tone. Its astringent properties help tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It has been known to support skin regeneration, aiding in the healing of scars and blemishes.

Rosemary hydrosol – is a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin against environmental stressors and free radicals. It stimulates circulation, enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, resulting in a healthy, radiant complexion. It possesses antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for those with acne-prone skin.

Bay laurel hydrosol – is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish and revitalize the skin. It helps to balance oil production, making it suitable for both dry and oily skin types. It has toning and purifying properties, aiding in the detoxification of the skin and the reduction of pore size.

Quality is our top priority at LAST. It is reflected in the selection of our active ingredients, the trusted sources we obtain them from, our biophotonic packaging that preserves the potent nourishing benefits inside. We spare no expense when it comes to your skin. For the Moisturising Essence, we’ve developed a powerful combination of moisturising and hydrating ingredients – with the key ones being:

Hibiscus Sabdariffa Fruit Extract – specifically formulated for mature skin, this extract restores age-dependant osmolyte activity and promotes rapid and effective hydration. By stimulating organic osmolytes cellular intake, it provides osmo-hydration, addressing the root cause of skin dryness.

Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide – derived from the seeds of our beloved Cassia Angustifolia, this natural moisturizer improves hydration levels and adds plumpness to the skin. It also decreases the level of cortisol in skin by up to 60%, slowing down accelerated aging.

Picea Mariana Bark Extract – a rich source of resveratrol, this extract contains 6x more resveratrol than well-known grape seed extracts, providing strong antioxidant properties. It soothes the skin and maintains the integrity of the skin’s barrier function, keeping it naturally moisturized.

Glycerin – as a humectant, glycerin attracts and retains water from the atmosphere to hydrate the outermost layer of the skin, called stratum corneum. It helps to maintain skin moisture, improve skin elasticity and prevent dryness and roughness.

Erythritol – a natural sugar alcohol, attracts and retains moisture. By increasing the hydration levels of the outermost layer of the skin, erythritol helps to improve skin moisturization, enhance elasticity and prevent dryness and roughness.

Panthenol – also known as Provitamin B5, Panthenol penetrates the skin to improve moisture retention, resulting in softer and smoother skin.

Lactobacillus Ferment – a probiotic ingredient that may have soothing or balancing effects on the skin. It plays a vital role in reducing redness and the size of active spots and breakouts. It soothes and calms inflammations, while restoring balance to the skin’s protective microflora. It keeps the skin’s barrier at its healthiest state, enhancing its resilience and therefore protecting the skin against environmental aggressors.

Pentylene Glycol – a natural ingredient which acts as a humectant and emollient, moisturizing the skin and supporting moisture retention.

Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Water – possesses antioxidant properties that protect the skin from environmental stressors and stimulate circulation for a healthier complexion.

Frankincense Hydrosol – has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, soothing redness and promoting skin firmness and regeneration.

Laurus Nobilis Leaf Water – provides soothing properties and helps improve the overall tone of the skin.

These carefully selected ingredients work together to deliver a range of moisturising benefits, including soothing properties, antioxidant protection, hydration, moisture retention, and overall improvement in the appearance and texture of the skin.

Our Moisturising Essence is a transformative elixir that harnesses the power of nature to enhance your skin’s radiance and fortify its protective barrier. Infused with scientific marvels, this essence reveals a luminosity that rivals the brilliance of a rising sun. The age-defying Hibiscus Sabdariffa Fruit Extract replenishes essential osmolytes, providing rapid and effective hydration that rejuvenates your complexion at a cellular level. Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, derived from the nurturing embrace of nature, enriches your skin with natural moisturization, reducing cortisol levels by up to 60% to combat accelerated aging. Picea Mariana Bark Extract, a veritable shield of resilience, imbues your skin with antioxidant prowess, safeguarding against environmental stressors and preserving the integrity of your skin’s barrier function. Glycerin and Erythritol, the dynamic duo of moisture retention, synergistically attract and retain hydration, improving elasticity and preventing dryness and roughness. With our Moisturising Essence, your skin’s radiance flourishes, while the fortress of its barrier stands strong against the tumultuous world, imparting a captivating glow that captivates both heart and mind.

The Moisturising Essence interrupts the stress cycle through the action of Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide, one of its key ingredients. Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide acts as a natural moisturizer and plays a crucial role in mitigating the impact of stress on the skin. When stress occurs, it triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that can lead to accelerated aging and skin damage. However, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide helps interrupt this cycle by decreasing cortisol levels by up to 60%. By reducing cortisol, this ingredient helps prevent the negative effects of stress on the skin, such as increased inflammation, moisture loss, and impaired barrier function. This interruption of the stress cycle allows the skin to maintain its health, resilience, and youthful appearance, promoting a more balanced and radiant complexion.
