Skin Quenching Essence

What is it? Skin Quenching Essence is formulated to drench the skin with a lightweight layer of hydration and allow better application of subsequent skincare products. Quench thirsty skin with this skin drink featuring a winning combination of juicy humectants!
Notes from the Curator: This is a slightly viscous liquid suitable for all skin types, especially those experiencing dehydration/tightness.
Let’s Get Nerdy: This refreshing and soothing essence calms and hydrates the skin with a synergistic blend of humectants which mimic the properties of the skin’s own natural moisturising factor (NMF). These hydrating ingredients help support the skin’s natural processes (skin barrier function, elasticity of the skin, facilitating desquamation) and can help to replenish the surface moisture level.
Formulated without added fragrance (some natural scent may be noticeable from the cucumber extract) or essential oils & alcohol. Suitable for all skin types, especially those with dehydrated skin.
pH: 5-5.5
Size: 100ml
- ABOUT THE BRAND
Natasha Dauncey, founder of Apothaka® is passionate about creating thoughtful formulations which support a healthy skin barrier through a "less is more" approach to skincare. Where so much of the beauty industry is focussed on an unrealistic goal around "perfect" or "flawless" skin, Apothaka® is here to reset the goal to healthy, happy skin (and healthy ageing while we're at it!) for everyone!
Natasha carefully designs her own formulations using the best of what nature & science have to offer (skincare doesn't need to be about one OR the other!). Everything is made in the UK, no pre-made bases are used, giving her full control of the ingredients, which she selects based on their benefits for your skin and their texture. Apothaka® products are about improving the way skin looks and feels but also about enjoying the experience of using them: like bringing a bit of the spa experience at home.
- HOW TO USE
Shake before use. After cleansing, dispense 4-6 drops of essence into the palm of your hand (don't waste this goodness on a cotton pad!) and apply to skin. If you're feeling extra, apply a second layer! Follow immediately with serum / moisturiser. Can be used morning & night, and under the eye area. Complete your daytime routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin.
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. For external use only. Keep out of the reach of children. Patch test first. As with all products, discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Once opened use within 12 months.
