Zucca Lavar™ is what we believe to be the ultimate cleansing solution suitable for mature, dry, normal and combination skin types – made with Organic Pumpkin Seed - Cold pressed from American seeds. It is rich in essential fatty acids (omega 3 and omega 6) and antioxidants. Pumpkin seed has particularly nourishing properties which include high protein, enzymes, a wide complement of vitamins (A, B, C, D and E) trace elements zinc, calcium, copper, manganese and magnesium and 60% polyunsaturated fats. In particular, pumpkin seeds and its oil are an important source of zinc, which is thought to lessen the effects of allergies. It has very good emollient properties and is used in products to help moisturize, restore and revitalise skin tissue at the cellular level. Its vitamin E content will help neutralize damaging free radicals, reduce fine lines, firm the skin and protect from UV damage. The essential fatty acids regulate the skin’s own oil.
Natural surfactant produced from coconuts and Organic Comfrey glycerol extract containing carbohydrates to rejuvenate the skin and heal, sooth and moisturise, helping to alleviate wrinkling. The tannins and rosmarinic acid have an astringent effect and the high content of the phytochemical allantoin, which promotes skin cell regeneration, stimulates the growth of new cells and helps sensitive skin to become more resilient, counteracting dryness and cracking.
Pre-biotic chicory root - a natural prebiotic for the skin derived partly from inulin and sugar beet resulting from an enzymatic process. This acts as a food for the good bacteria present on the skin and the bad bacteria are unable to process it. Therefore, it promotes the friendly bacteria on the skin to recover and grow faster whilst the harmful ones are reduced and this in turn, restores the natural bacteria balance to the skin. It has excellent eco credentials.
