John Masters Organics Eucalyptus & Agave 2-in-1 Moisturiser & Aftershave 89ml

Eucalyptus & Agave Moisturiser & Aftershave

This light after-shave lotion refreshes with the bracing scent of eucalyptus and the hydrating power of aloe. Skin is left dewy and soft after application, yet it’s also protected: A unique ferment of desert agave along with beta glucan from oat help heal nicks and cuts and support skin against the sun’s damaging rays.

Aloe is high in polysaccharides, which form chemical bonds with water, creating a shield over the skin that holds in moisture. Its action is boosted by sodium hyaluronate, a vegetable-sourced ingredient that mimics hyaluronic acid. This necessary component of body tissues helps the skin retain water, giving it a plump, youthful appearance and preventing dehydration, wrinkles, and elasticity loss. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body during wound healing, so it is an ideal ingredient post-shave.

Beta glucan also has wound-healing properties, stimulating immune reactions—as well as collagen synthesis and skin restructuring, leading to fewer wrinkles and lines. Like aloe, beta glucan creates a natural film to improve the skin’s barrier and increase moisture beneath. It also protects against UV damage and decreases hyper-pigmentation from sun damage.

A fermented extract of agave uses the plant’s traditional mechanisms for adapting to desert heat to protect skin and retain moisture. Natural plant sugars such as fructose attract water and lock it in to the skin, as well as help keep cell membranes balanced and stable. This ingredient also promotes collagen synthesis, creating overall healthier skin and a better barrier against sun damage and aging.

Extracts of rosemary leaf and guarana, a Brazilian berry, are important free-radical fighters. Chemically identical to caffeine, the compound guaranine is antioxidant and antibacterial, and acts as an astringent and tonic for the skin.

A complex of certified organic algae and rice extracts delivers perceivable firming properties as well as substantive hydration and moisturizing benefits. The effects leave the skin smooth and supple.

Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, described as a natural alternative to Botox, has been scientifically proven to fight wrinkles, delivering quick mechanical action to relax and smooth facial expressions. It stimulates fibroblasts, promotes collagen, and improves the renewal process of the epidermis.

The organic eucalyptus oil in this product is sourced from a family business in Australia, where the tree is native. The oil is naturally cooling and antibacterial, its aroma stimulating and expansive.

Use: Apply to face and neck after shaving for hydration and protection. For optimal anti-aging results, use as a daily moisturizer and after cleansing at night.
