Rooted - Repairing and Brightening Essence
Root into autumn. As the leaves change colors, your skin also transitions into a new phase. Months of summer sun, sweat, and environmental stressors have left your skin barrier depleted, uneven, and parched. Rooted is formulated to mirror nature’s rhythm, undoing summer sun damage (hyperpigmentation,) calming seasonal inflammation, and shoring up your skin’s protective barrier for the cooler months ahead. It is time to root your routine, repair your skin’s barrier, and reclaim your natural glow.
Suggestions for Use
Mist your face after cleansing, and gently pat into your skin with your hands. Apply as a base layer under other skincare. Can also be used any time you need a little extra rooted hydration throughout your day
Key Ingredients
Turmeric Hydrosol - Turmeric, a warming, balancing root long used in the Ayurvedic tradition has a lot to offer our skin, especially during this seasonal transition into cooler months. Studies have shown that it reduces inflammation and redness, brightens dark spots, can help minor wounds or blemishes heal faster and is a potent antioxidant, protecting our skin from future damage.
Licorice Root Extract - A natural skincare powerhouse, licorice root contains an active compound called glabridin, which blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme your skin needs to make melanin (pigment) and disperses existing pigment. Additionally it helps break down and remove melanin already trapped in the skin. All of which means it’s very, very good at reducing hyperpigmentation and evening skin tone. It’s also a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.
Ginger Root Extract - Containing the biologically active component gingerol, this ingredient is a potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, protecting the skin from damage that causes dark spots. Not only that, it helps treat hyperpigmentation by slowing down melanin production, evening skin tone. It has moisturizing polysaccharides, amino acids, and sugars, and increases blood circulation helping all of that goodness to penetrate more deeply into the skin.
Glycerin - A tried and true skincare GOAT, glycerin’s molecular size allows it to penetrate deeply into the skin pulling moisture from the air into the deeper layers and locking it there. Mimicking the skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMF) it repairs, strengthens, and shields against environmental stressors and activates natural exfoliation enzymes, eliminating flakiness and revealing a plump, dewy texture without clogging pores.
Panthenol - Also called provitamin B5, panthenol is one of my favorite ingredients for skin. It’s easily absorbed into the skin, soothing, calming, a potent anti inflammatory. It’s also a humectant, drawing water to the skin for lasting hydration. It helps the skin regenerate and repair leading to a healthy and supported barrier.
