We’re excited to launch our first K beauty acne-safe product, Antioxidant Balm.
K beauty has taken the skincare world by storm but just like any line, not all products are safe to use on acne prone skin.
But fear not!
We’ve carefully chosen this balm with your acne in mind! Chaga mushrooms are not only good for our insides, turns out they’re amazing for our skin on the outside too.
Together, the ingredients in Antioxidant Balm help protect the skin against free radical damage while simultaneously improving dryness and helping to support the skin barrier. Not only does it leave the skin feeling soft and smooth, but it can also help improve overall texture and tone of our skin as well.
The key ingredients include:
- Tetracarboxymethyl Palmitoyl Dipeptide-12 (Calming/ brightening)
- Chaga Mushroom (Anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties)
- Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn for moisture + high vitamin content)
Chaga Mushroom in Antioxidant Balm is perfect.
It’s tinted with an elegant creamy texture but leaves a non-greasy feel to the skin and helps to protect the skin. The light tint works well for all Fitzpatrick ranges.
A little goes a long way!
Packaged in an airless pump to preserve its creamy texture. It’s a great compliment to the Nutri Cream and Moisture Boost + serum.
We recommend using the Moisture Boost + with Nutri Cream at night to reduce redness and inflammation and the Antioxidant Balm as a lipid barrier to reduce dehydration throughout the day.
If you’re looking for a moisturizing cream that’s heavy on the antioxidants, this may be the one for you.
Benefits of Antioxidant Balm
Rich in antioxidants: If you’re looking to fight those pesky free radicals, Antioxidant Balm is worth adding to your routine. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, both alpha- and beta-carotene, vitamins B1, B2, and B6, vitamin E, fatty acids and flavonoids, and Omega 3, 6, 9 and rarest Omega 7.
Moisturizes skin while regulating oil: Antioxidant Balm also helps keep your skin nice and moisturized. It contains Sea Buckthorn which helps as a moisturizing ingredient as it contains linoleic acid, found naturally in the sebum, so it will help to regulate moisture levels and overall hydration.
Improves skin tone: Chaga mushroom is known to even out skin tone and fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is the balm that will improve overall skin tone, texture and elasticity.
Decreases fine lines and wrinkles: Thanks to its rich antioxidant, fatty acid, and vitamin content, products containing sea buckthorn oil also helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It’s an antioxidant and therefore has some anti-aging benefits to it.
Antioxidant Balm Diminishes the Effects of Aging
Over time, your skin begins to show signs of aging.
It gets thinner and loses its elasticity. You may start to notice wrinkles or age spots. As we age or mature, our skin also becomes drier. When you’re exposed to more free radicals than your body can combat naturally, it causes your skin to age prematurely.
Chaga’s superhero powers help keep your skin young and supple. We also LOVE the results of using this balm on a sun burn or even radiation burn, if treating for cancer. It magically reduces the heat and burn.
Chaga contains betulinic acid (BA), a beneficial compound for giving your skin protection against free radical damage and aging. It has been shown to stimulate the production of collagen, the protein responsible for giving your skin its youthful appearance. When you don’t have enough, your skin starts to sag. The BA in chaga has also been shown to cause cell death in melanoma and other malignant cancer cells.
Fight Acne with Mushroom Power
While keeping your skin clean, eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water are all essential to preventing acne and keeping those pimples in check, chaga is a great defender as well.
The fungus is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent. Systemic inflammation is caused by the immune system’s release of mast cells to fight off perceived invaders. Inflammation in the body can lead to acne flare-ups. Chaga mushrooms have been shown to inhibit the production of mast cells, reducing inflammation and, subsequently, keeping your acne in check.
The Takeaway
If you’re battling acne, want to prevent skin cancer, or simply want healthy, radiant skin, using a supplement containing chaga mushroom every day could be immensely beneficial. Our Antioxidant Balm will not over promise and under deliver.
