Grapefruit

Grapefruit is a citrus fruit known for its ripe tart flavour and uplifting aroma. It’s a rich source of brightening Vitamin C and contains natural acids which help exfoliate away dead skin cells for a smooth, glowing complexion. The antioxidant benefits filter out free radical damage and protect skin from premature ageing. Although suitable for all skin types, it can help balance an oily, combination skin.

Ginger

More than a staple in the kitchen, Ginger is a well-known ingredient with a warm, spicy aroma that's believed to inspire desire. In skincare, the extract contains gingerol, a biologically active component which has potent soothing and antioxidant benefits. These antioxidant properties help to prevent free radical damage, even skin tone, and protect against ageing.

White Nettle

Better known for its sting, Nettle is in fact very soothing when used in skincare. It is a powerhouse ingredient due to its high content of antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins and minerals. Nettle also acts as a natural astringent which means it helps tighten and firm the skin, helping to balance oil production.

Elderflower

Elderflower is a beautiful white blossom which is rich in bioflavonoids which have anti-ageing benefits. Elderflowers are mildly astringent to help refine the complexion, minimise the appearance of pores and smooth the skin. The blossom also contains antioxidants that help protect against free radical damage for a fresh, healthy-looking appearance.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a necessary component of healthy skin; it occurs naturally in the body and is an unsung hero when it comes to skincare. SBC’s Glycerin is a vegan-friendly humectant, which means it can draw in and retain moisture from the air around us. Suitable for all skin types, it serves to help strengthen the moisture barrier, keeping it soft and supple.
