ACTIVE INGREDIENTS…
Organic Rose otto hydrosol… not to be confused with ‘rose floral water’ which is just distilled water and drops of rose oil. Rose otto hydrosol ss produced using Bulgarian organic roses through a double distillation process of the oil-bearing rose (Rosa damascena P. Miller). It does not contain any additives, preservatives or synthetic substances. Rose has exceptional soothing, moisturising, hydrating and softening properties. Its gentle toning action can help tighten capillaries which reduces redness. It is beneficial for dry and aging skin.
Organic Sunflower Oil… Cleanses and moisturizes the skin at the same time. It effortlessly dissolves dirt and makeup while reinforcing the skin's natural moisture barrier. Rich in antioxidants like vitamin E, it protects against aging and sun damage, and is non-comedogenic, meaning it can be used on various skin types without clogging pores. Research indicates that… “Sunflower seed oil preserved stratum corneum integrity, did NOT cause erythema, and improved hydration in the same volunteers” (Terminology meaning: The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, serving as the body's primary physical and immunological barrier against the external environment. Erythema is redness of the skin caused by increased blood flow to the superficial capillaries ie. rosacea)
Organic Camellia seed oil... easily absorbed this antioxidant rich oil enhances the skin's own natural acid mantle to protect skin from external irritants. High in Oleic fatty acid (Omega-9) it is highly effective in enhancing skin's ability to retain moisture.
Organic Avocado oil... is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, which helps to maintain the skin's natural barrier, preventing moisture loss. These fatty acids improve skin hydration and create a soft, smooth texture. Research suggests that avocado oil may help stimulate collagen production due to its high concentration of antioxidants and essential fatty acids. This contributes to skin elasticity and firmness, which can prevent premature aging and improve the overall texture of the skin.
Organic Olive leaf extract… known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it contains oleuropein and other bioactive phenolic compounds. Research shows that Oleuropein has various medical properties and may inhibit the effects of both acute and chronic UVB-induced skin damage as well as accelerate wound healing activity, provided benefits on skin rejuvenation.
Organic Licorice root extract… Glycyrrhizin, the sweet principle of licorice root has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antimicrobial properties. In addition, its phenolic components have been traditionally used for promotion of wound healing. “Licorice root extracts protect the skin against oxidative stress injuries, accelerate wound epithelization, ameliorate remodeling at the wound site and efficiently reduce the symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD).”
Organic Green Tea extract…Rich in polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate, has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties and has been shown to protect the skin from damage induced by ultraviolet radiation.
VARIATIONS… As a regular customer you will notice that each batch may vary slightly in colour, aroma and consistency. This is because Voi is made fresh, with no additives, or artificial anything … so what you are seeing and experiencing… is ‘nature’. Organic oils vary in colour and consistency based on cultivation methods, weather conditions (temperature and water), harvesting methods and conditions. But you can always be assured that Voi products are fresh as a bunch of freshly picked flowers and are always the highest quality.
RECOMMENDED… Although we use natural ingredients you should always perform a patch test before using, to ensure the product is suitable for you. Choose a time where you can leave the crème on for at least 24-hrs. Apply to the underside of your arm, keep the area dry and rinse off after 24-hrs. If during the patch test, or any other time, you notice a reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
LABEL UPDATES… In our efforts to further reduce plastics we are trialling paper labels with eco-friendly ink. Therefore your label may not look like the one in the photo (previously plastic). We really appreciate your understanding.
SHIPPING…To ensure the freshness and purity of our products, we take extra care to protect them from excessive heat during transit. We monitor the weather closely, and if temperatures are exceptionally high, we may delay shipping until conditions improve. This way, your products arrive in perfect condition, just as they were when made.
