Topical Benefits
Chlorella: Not only is chlorella a nutrient-packed superfood for the body, but these single-celled freshwater algae deeply nourish the skin too, by improving skin tone, restoring the production of collagen, and protecting against sun damage.
Pearl powder: Pearl powder, which is mostly used in Chinese medicine, and has also been used historically in Ayurveda is beneficial to the skin - both when taken internally and applied topically. When applied to the skin, it is known to support wound healing, shrink pores, decrease redness, and also improve skin texture.
Raw Honey: Honey has been used as a traditional natural healing remedy since ancient times. When applied topically, it can work wonders by calming, cleansing, and hydrating the skin. The natural enzymes present gently exfoliate by helping to remove any dead cells, and the antioxidant and anti-microbial properties clean out pores to purify the skin.
