A gentle eye and face cream rich in Vitamin B, containing fatty acids found in lecithin, restores suppleness preventing moisture loss leaving skin smoother, younger and more elastic.
The term lecithin refers to a mixture of phospholipids and oil. Phospholipids are a component of the cell membrane in all plants and animals, however, its role is to breakdown the fats in the body. Lecithin is most often derived from sunflower kernels, rapeseed (canola), milk, soy and egg yolks and is naturally found in foods that we eat most such as egg yolks, soybeans, grains, wheat germ, liver, cauliflower, fish, legumes, yeast and peanuts.
High in fatty acids, lecithin enhances the appearance of dry and damaged skin by reducing flakiness and restoring suppleness, it alters the skin structure allowing other substances to penetrate deeper into the epidermis. As an antioxidant it helps to repair free radical damage, soothe inflamed or irritated skin. It attracts water to the skin, working to prevent moisture loss from deep within the skin tissues and lastly it is very moisturising, which is due to its high levels of oleic and linoleic acid.
At Whitsunday Myrtle we use lecithin to stimulate collagen and wound healing as well as bind moisture to the skin and allow the essential benefits to penetrate deep.
Skin will feel smoother, supple, silky, younger and more elastic.
