Note: As part of the initiative to become completely plastic-free, Antipodes has decided to remove the thin plastic film from the glass jars. The transition has started gradually, and the newest jars no longer contain plastic film. Instead of this seal, the outer packaging is now closed with a small sticker. The sticker is 100% biodegradable.

Active Ingredients

• Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronic Acid / Sodium Hyaluronate) retains moisture up to 1000 times its weight. Hyaluronic acid is a main component of the connective tissue between skin cells, filling and supporting it. Due to its ability to bind large amounts of water, it is responsible for the skin’s moisture content. Hyaluronic acid also supports skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is one of the main causes of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps to fill fine lines and plump the skin.
• Honey (Mel / Honey / Leptospermum mel (manuka honey) extract) – Natural honey is antiseptic and antimicrobial, helping to cleanse the skin and thoroughly eliminate bacteria. Honey contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid that brightens and fades age spots. Raw honey is enriched with a variety of nutrients such as vitamin B, manganese, iron, potassium, and calcium. When mixed with water, honey releases a peroxide property that helps heal acne and inhibit bacterial growth. Additionally, honey is a humectant that delivers moisture to the skin and provides it with a wealth of nutrient-rich enzymes.
• Harakeke flax is moisturizing and has a skin-firming effect. Rich in essential fatty acids, it acts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
• Mamaku or black tree fern is a giant plant endemic to New Zealand. It has moisturizing and soothing properties and promotes cell turnover and regeneration.
• Hibiscus (Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis Flower Powder / Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract) has been called the “Botox plant” for its firming and lifting effects on the skin. Hibiscus contains natural AHAs that accelerate cell renewal, gently exfoliate the skin, and help control acne breakouts. Hibiscus strengthens elasticity, promotes regeneration, and moisturizes skin and hair. The presence of anthocyanins helps pores appear smaller due to its astringent properties.
• Ginger (Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Oil) is rich in vitamin C and contains a variety of trace elements such as magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, and phosphorus. Ginger has antibacterial and clarifying effects, stimulates microcirculation in blood vessels, and promotes a fresher, healthier, and radiant complexion.
• Aloe Vera Extract / Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract / Juice) provides natural moisture, prevents skin dryness, and strengthens the natural skin barrier. Aloe Vera contains vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essential amino acids. It supplies oxygen to the skin and is considered effective in supporting cell renewal. It binds moisture, has cooling, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects.
