Vata Facial Balancer 4 oz
Alimental’s Vata Facial Balancer is an herbal-infused combination oil cleanser and toner, with herbs, organic oils and essential oils formulated for the vata Ayurvedic skin type.
The Vata Balancer uses herbs and oils to soften, hydrate and restore vitality and a healthy glow to dry, pale or thin skin with blue or black undertones. This formulation has a lower proportion of vinegar for sensitive skin, and contains more oil to combat dryness. The chamomile tea base is flavonoid-rich, soothing and demulcent. Sweet almond oil has a rich, silky consistency perfect for dry skin, and contains nourishing vitamins and antioxidants to protect against environmental damage. The essential oil combination of helichrysum, ginger and patchouli (just a faint undertone as a base scent) is warming, healing and anxiety-soothing, topically and aromatically.
Ingredients: chamomile infusion (water, organic Matricaria camomilla flower), wildcrafted horsetail (Equisetum arvense)-infused organic apple cider vinegar, organic sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus) oil, jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) oil, Helichrysum italicum essential oil, ginger (Zingiber off.) essential oil, non-GMO vitamin E oil, organic patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) essential oil.
Directions: shake well* and apply to the face with a cotton round or cloth, avoiding the eye area.
*This is a living product: harmless probiotic clouds may be visible. Keep away from heat and light. Not for internal use. Those who are pregnant or nursing should not use essential oils.
Alimental’s Facial Balancers are herbalist-formulated to work with your skin’s natural properties, leaving it pH-balanced, nourished and hydrated.
The skin’s “acid mantle” is essential to maintaining a healthy outer microbiome, preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and other microbes, and forming a protective barrier against disease. Alimental’s Balancers are formulated to pH 5.5, the ideal pH of human skin, using the natural acidity of apple cider vinegar to provide the optimal environment for a healthy skin microbial balance. Apple cider vinegar also contains a prebiotic called pectin, which nourishes and strengthens good skin bacteria.
The vinegar is infused with Equisetum arvense, which is called a vulnerary or wound-healer in herbal medicine. This ancient plant is rich in antioxidants and silica, a component of skin that improves elasticity and collagen formation.
Each Balancer contains select natural carrier oils to moisturize and protect the skin, carrying antioxidants and other phytochemicals that can help to prevent environmental damage, strengthen collagen and reduce oil production and pore size.
Finally, each balancer has a small amount of essential oils, or aromatic plant compounds that have strong antimicrobial, aromatherapeutic and healing properties that penetrate deep into the skin.
