News / Make my day

Getting ready to say goodbye to the Swedish summer. Trying to think positive 😃 we are also saying goodbye to mosquitoes, fruit flies, flies, slugs and the lawnmower 😉 Hello to school start, comfort food, beautiful leaves, cozy sweaters, apple 🍎 picking and chanterelle treasure hunts. Chanterelles are anti inflammatory, rich in antioxidants, boost immunity, anti microbial and taste heavenly 😋

Some of the reasons you should choose organic skincare products. Not only are organic skincare products preferable for the environment as organic farming procedures are better, they are also beneficial to wildlife as well. These practices produce less dangerous waste from fertilizers and pesticides. Up to 100% of organic skincare products contain active ingredients. In synthetic skincare products, active ingredients usually only make up 5-10% of its contents. To further prove this point, natural ingredients work in synergy with each other and become more powerful together.

Antipollution = anti-aging

You may have heard the term antipollution being used more frequently about skincare and makeup over the past few years. But what does it actually mean? If you are living or working in a city you can’t help but notice the dust in the street coloring everything grey. You may not notice that the air smells bad if you breathe the polluted air every day. Then when you visit the countryside, the air smells so good you know that you have been in a polluted environment. What is this pollution doing to our skin? There is a great deal of interest in the subject and a lot of emerging scientific research is being done. Toxic air has been linked to premature aging, accelerating wrinkles and age spots. The small particles enter through our pores. If you are not in the city, it doesn’t help being nearby as the particles are spread by the wind. That’s why we see more and more antipollution products on the market. Traffic pollution is emerging as the single most toxic substance for our skin. We were delighted to hear that Algica, an algae that is one of the active ingredients in our Make my day cream has been cleared as an antipollution substance after clinical studies.

Algica, together with Vitamin E, also an antipollution protector in Make my day cream makes it an effective pollution shield.

In our Make my day we have included Algica 

The algae-based silica material with unique and powerful properties developed by nature.

• Cleanses the skin by absorption of impurities, sweat and bacteria
• Efficient carrier material that enables efficient uptake of vitamins and nutrients by the skin
• Improved moisture retention by its ability to bind water, similar to hyaluronic acid
• A future natural, non-toxic and environmentally friendly UV filter
• COSMOS Certified Organic
• Transparent on the skin
• Completely odor-free
• The dry form is long-lasting and does not require preservatives
• Rheology modifying properties
• The material also shows promise for anti-pollution (currently testing)
• It is available as a dry powder and as a water-based cream. The dry material is preferable for oil-based formulations and serums, while the cream is easy to formulate into lotions and face masks

These properties have been tested in scientific studies
