Arctic Cloudberry

WILDCRAFTED / JÄMTLAND, SWEDEN

This rare Nordic superberry makes skin look radiant, healthy and even-toned. Ideal for all skin types, cloudberry extract is especially effective for sensitive, inflamed, dry and irritated skin. As well as lowering the redness and reactivity of rosacea and inflammatory acne.

Cloudberries have over four times more Vitamin C than oranges — helping energize dull complexions and protect skin from signs of ageing. They are also rich in Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent dry, dull skin and wrinkles. Not to mention Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids that boost the skin’s natural protection, as well as helping retain moisture and reducing fine lines.

Arctic Cloudberry shows several times higher levels of these essential ingredients than berries from further south. This is because plants in the north of Sweden grow around the clock during the summer months when the sun sets for just a few short hours a day.

Algica / Nordic Algae

ECOCERT / WEST COAST SWEDEN

Algica / Nordic Algae contains a number of benefits for your skin. It helps hydrate, revitalize and tone the skin, as well as helping reduce or eliminate issues with acne, cellulite and even fine lines and wrinkles. The algae improves skin's elasticity and offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to protect against cell damage. It also provides an excellent smoothing effect.

City pollution, stress, bacteria, weather and chemical exposure are environmental stressors that generate DNA-damaging free radicals, which then raise your levels of inflammation. Researchers have found that antioxidant compounds in algae called carotenoids can greatly minimize this damage, reducing inflammation that can spur on acne and skin conditions. In other words, treatments with the algae oil can help create a skin barrier against the things that damage our skin and make it dull.

Not only does Nordic Algae contain the three nutrients needed for collagen production, algae also contains the essential amino acids that make it a complete protein and are needed for collagen production. Research confirms how effective algae is at building collagen in the skin.

Bakuchiol

WILDCRAFTED

Bakuchiol has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Being an antioxidant, the purple Babchi plant has since then been found to protect your skin from the damage caused by free radicals, pollution and environmental stressors. And even has calming anti-inflammatory and healing antibacterial properties.

Bakuchiol dramatically stimulates skin cell turnover rate. As a result, skin becomes brighter, tone and texture improve, and lines and wrinkles are reduced. It's clinically proven to enhance skin firmness and elasticity due to its stimulation of collagen production, and creates an even-toned, bouncy complexion.

Bakuchiol is a plant extract that beauty publications are calling a natural, less-irritating and vegan alternative to retinol, which works equally strong magic. Bakuchiol has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, so it kills acne bacteria and takes down swelling. Plus, it inhibits the oxidation of sebum, which is thought to be a driving force in the progression of acne.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally produced by your body as a lubricating cushion in joints and skin. But as we age, our skin produces less hyaluronic acid, which means less plump skin and more dryness, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. That’s why it’s necessary to supplement your naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid.

Hyaluronic Acid is a great moisturiser for oily and acne-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic so it hydrates without clogging pores. In addition, Hyaluronic Acid gives extra support for the collagen and elastin in your skin that are often damaged by UV rays and environmental stressors.

Perfume-free / Natural scent

Coluors never adds artificial fragrances to their products. Every leave-in, hydrating product formulation is perfume-free, with just a subtle hint of the natural extracts that it is built upon. Nothing more, nothing less.

100% Natural Essential Oils

The cleanser, rinse-off products for body and hand are lightly scented to refresh your body and senses throughout the day. These are based on 100% natural essential oils, straight from pure nature.
