A gel moisturizer that is said to deliver cooling hydration while helping to soothe and protect dehydrated or sensitive skin We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.In fact, many of the Elemis skincare products contain more fragrance than key ingredients! One example is the Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel. If you look at the ingredient list, Fragrance (Parfum) comes before papain (the enzyme derived from papaya extract) and pineapple extract.

A silicone-free moisturizer that is said to prime and hydrate to reveal a smooth and radiant complexion Camu Camu: is a cherry sized fruit with purple red skin and a yellow pulp. Rich in Vitamin C, it is also known for its remarkable antioxidant and energising properties, which helps to revive skin and reveal a healthy glow. Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand that is now available in over 45 countries around the world. Elemis prioritizes using naturally-derived ingredients throughout their skincare line, but also includes skincare staples like vitamin C and peptides. These ingredients should all be part of your skincare routine.The brand does use beneficial ingredients in some products (e.g. sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, glycerin, niacinamide, lactic acid, etc) Mica reflects light from the face, creating the illusion of a smoother, softer, and more radiant skin tone Contains less than 1% of “key” ingredients (kombucha, fermented ginger, and fermented green tea seed oil) A refreshing facial mist that is said to hydrate, tone, prime, and set makeup for a complexion that looks healthy and glowing all day

Key ingredients include aloe vera leaf juice, glycerin, urea, synthetic emollients, and alpha-glucan oligosaccharideEven if you don’t have a full blown reaction to the ingredient, the damage may still be occurring every day. Ultimately, this can cause mild problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term. This is something to keep in mind before purchasing Elemis skincare products, especially if you have sensitive skin.

A prebiotic overnight sleeping ELEMIS Superfood Midnight Facial that leaves dry, thirsty skin feeling silky soft, radiant and replenished with moisture upon waking. In our opinion, Elemis products aren’t worth the money, simply because there are other skincare brands that offer similar products that are less expensive. Broccoli seed oil is almost 50 percent erucic acid, a type of monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, which nourishes and protects skin from environmental aggressors. Broccoli seed oil also contains vitamin A, C and K as well as B vitamins. Flaxseed oil is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids improve the skin’s elasticity and texture, as well as help to calm redness. Daikon radish seed extract contains a mixture of C18, C20, and C22 fatty acids, which is unlike most cosmetic grade oils that primarily consist of C16 and C18 fatty acids. This unique mixture enables Daikon radish seed extract to impart a delicate slip with good absorption, as well as provide a sensory profile that is similar to esters and silicone type emollients. These three key ingredients combined with several other beneficial plant oils and extracts enables the Elemis Superfood Facial Oil to balance your complexion while providing a soft, supple feel to the skin after every application. Overall, we don’t recommend Elemis skincare products since the brand uses low concentrations of key ingredients, and they include fragrance in all product formulations. Pros The brand claims that passion fruit extract, avocado oil, and broccoli seed oil are “key” ingredients. However, these ingredients are used in very low concentrations (less than 1%)
