Kapha Aloe Herbal Facial Serum 2 oz
Alimental’s Kapha Aloe Herbal Facial Serum is an herbal-infused moisturizer formulated with essential oils for the kapha Ayurvedic skin type that locks in hydration and pH balance and nourishes the skin, providing a healthy, shining glow that lasts all day.
Kapha skin is soft and smooth, but often troubled with oiliness, deep acne, and loss of tone or a healthy glow. For oily, cold, stagnant kapha skin, this serum provides astringent, warming essential oils of clary sage, geranium, sage and copaiba balsam to dry up oiliness, tighten, and enhance blood flow for a healthy, nourished glow. It keeps the skin hydrated without clogging pores and creating breakouts, while smelling deliciously sweet and herby.
Ingredients: organic Aloe vera gel, vegetable glycerin, organic gotu kola (Centella asiatica), jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oil, non-GMO vitamin E oil, clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil, organic copaiba balsam (Copaifera officinalis) essential oil, geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) essential oil, sage (Salvia off.) essential oil.
Directions: use as a serum or moisturizer after cleansing and balancing or dab on after applying makeup for a shining, translucent glow.
This natural, hydrating serum is made with organic Aloe vera gel and organic, natural vegetable glycerin infused with Centella asiatica (commonly called mandukaparni in India or gotu kola in China), an Ayurvedic herb used for wound healing and as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for thousands of years. Its triterpenes improve the function and integrity of the collagen matrix and increase blood supply to connective tissue, enhancing the skin’s cell turnover, scar healing, and elasticity.
Aloe vera gel has an acidic pH to help maintain the skin’s protective acid mantle. It is cooling, astringent, and balancing for all three doshas, stimulates collagen synthesis, and inhibits free radicals, reducing inflammation. Aloe is also hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture and forms a hydrating barrier to protect against dryness, making your skin soft and smooth, but not oily.
Jojoba and vitamin E oils help carry and distribute the essential oils and provide antioxidants and light moisturization without clogging pores.
