Li’tya Macadamia Facial Hydrating Cream
I’m all for natural skincare these days, so when the chance
to review an organic face cream made from one of my favourite snacks came up
for grabs I took hold of it with both hands.
The Macadamia nut had been known for its beneficial
properties by foodies for quite some time now – it’s high in protein, but low
in saturated fat – but until recently it’s not been all that widely used in
skincare. Rich in mono-unsaturated oil – the closest thing to the oil found in
human skin currently known about – Macadamia
oil is particularly absorbable and contains high levels of rejuvenating,
nourishing and hydrating Vitamins E and A, so it would seem to be the obvious
choice of base ingredient for the creation of a moisturiser. When combined with
vitamin, mineral and lecithin-rich Sesame oil, anti-oxidising (anti-ageing)
Carrot Seed oil and the natural antiseptics and anti-inflammatory’s Lavender
and Sandlewood, Macadamia becomes a force to be reckoned with.
The cream is lightly scented and pleasant to use and like
any moisturiser, the application process is straightforward; simply cleanse,
tone and spread a small amount over the skin, then sit back and wait for a
miracle. After just a few days use the skin will feel smoother, softer and more
flexible. The Sesame oil offers light UV protection to prevent further sun
damage, while the Carrot Seed oil helps to repair the harm that has already
been done, reducing fine lines and helping to plump wrinkles.
Li’tya products are suitable for all skin types and designed
to combat most of the problems with the epidermis that cause us concern, from
soothing, calming and nourishing to healing and reversing. The company has a
strong social and environmental conscience, using sustainable, largely organic
and almost completely natural ingredients, while fairly trading with Australian
Aboriginal communities and donating a percentage of all profits to the
preservation of Aboriginal culture and education.
Li’tya Macadamia Facial Hydrating Cream is £32.50 (75ml) and
available, along with the full Li’tya range from http://www.litya.com.
