Active ingredients

The key active ingredients work by fighting free radical build-up accrued from the effects of ageing, lifestyle factors and environmental toxins. When free radicals attack lipid (fat) bilayers in the stratum corneum (outermost sublayer) of the epidermis, the skin is more likely to suffer from dehydration, irritation and inflammation. The active ingredients in Bee Loved’s Face ActivOil this damage by protecting the lipid bilayers and cell membranes from free radical attacks.

Face oil for mature skin

Mature skin is also very often sensitive skin and requires a special approach to care and nourishment. When mature skin is dehydrated and malnourished, it can appear to look older, with more defined lines and a parched, flaky texture. Bee Loved’s Face ActivOil is a powerful fusion of vitamins, antioxidants and anti- inflammatories which have a deeply nourishing effect on mature skin. When left on the skin overnight, it intensely moisturises the skin and helps fight against the damage and premature ageing caused by free radicals.
