What is it? Barrier Defence AOX Serum is a soothing antioxidant serum featuring encapsulated Vitamin C derivative (ATIP), astaxanthin & white tea, is designed to protect and defend against damage from free radicals, which leads to skin inflammation and ageing.
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 has multiple antioxidants for more comprehensive antioxidant defence including:
Encapsulated ascorbyl tetraiospalmitate (ATIP): a multifunctional lipid-soluble derivative of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) which offers antioxidant, skin brightening and wrinkle reduction benefits.
Astaxanthin: provides important antioxidant activities through direct free radical scavenging and activating the skin’s cellular antioxidant defence system, protecting the skin from damage and inflammation
White tea extract: from the same plant as green tea but made using the tender, new leaves which are rich in polyphenolic flavonoids, typically referred to as catechins.
Chia seed extract: soothes the skin and offers anti-inflammatory, hydrating and antioxidant properties, as well as enhancing the texture of the formulation
Plus: Licorice extract, CoQ10, Acai extract, tocopherol (vitamin E)
pH: 4.5-5.5
Size: 30ml
- 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 USEApply half to one pump of serum (+barrier support serum together if using) and gently massage onto clean skin. Follow with moisturiser (+ oil if needed). Can be used morning or night, and under the eye area. In the daytime always complete your routine with a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF30 to protect your skin.
