Savon Du Bois’ latest skincare product Sea Buckthorn Face Serum is as good for your skin as it is homegrown. Not only does the Canadian brand source ingredients from ethical, local suppliers, it honours the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee Peoples’ rich history, traditions and land in and around Prince Edward County, Ontario where Savon Du Bois is based.
Handcrafted on site, the deeply hydrating and restorative serum is formulated with six vegan oils. Extra virgin olive oil reduces inflammation and helps soothe acne, sunburn and signs of aging. Sweet almond oil softens, smooths, heals and reduces the appearance of scars. Vitamin and mineral rich avocado and jojoba oils repair chapped skin and conditions like eczema, while protecting from UV light and environmental stressors inclusive of pollution, dirt and grime. Cucumber seed oil promotes collagen production, eliminates puffiness and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. And last but not least the namesake hero, antioxidant-loaded sea buckthorn oil improves skin tone, texture and elasticity to help your face look youthful and more vibrant.
All of the oils are organic and absorb immediately so won’t leave your skin feeling or looking shiny, tacky or greasy. They’ve been mix-mastered with a splash of essential oils too, to give you a light, fresh and botanical scent. And all you need to do to benefit is emulsify a few drops between your palms and massage the elixir onto clean skin morning and night, before following up with your favourite moisturizer.
