Rhodes Skincare, the Benefits:
What, How, Why

Maca is a Peruvian plant well known for its energising and stimulating properties. The active ingredient we use is obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of Maca roots.

Thanks to its concentration of peptides and sugars it stimulates cellular renewal for fewer wrinkles. In a clinical study over just four weeks, the skin’s radiance was enhanced, and laughter lines reduced around the eye area by 35%.

It is preservative free and certified by Eco-cert Green Life.

This patented ingredient is derived from Lupin seed coatings.

The extract has been found to have the ability not only to synthesis type 1 collagen, which is the one that diminishes with age, but also to promote the production of a high quality collagen that gives skin its firmness and elasticity.

The Desert Rose was originally found in Aden and East Africa. It grows over three metres high and flowers in the desert! Today it is cultivated in many tropical areas.

It acts in many different ways to restore the skin’s hydration, help water retention and reinforce cell regeneration.

This Lily is said to be one of the oldest flowers in cultivation and images of it have been found in the ruins of Egypt.

By using Plant Cell Technology with no atmospheric pollution, Bright Light Madonna Lily helps to prevent and decrease sun spots, even skin tone and increase cell renewal. It is the melanin that absorbs UV rays.

The Lily interferes with the transfer of melanin and the quantity of it is decreased. It also boosts cell renewal and speeds up the process of expelling melanin from the epidermis.

This Edelweiss grows spontaneously on the mountain ranges of the Himalayas.

It is a rare and protected plant, composed of natural substances essential for plant survival at high altitudes and protects against air pollution and UV radiation.

Thanks to Plant Cell Technology, it also recreates skin tension, tightens sagging neck skin, lifts cheeks and smoothes out ‘crow’s feet’ wrinkles.

Originally from Southern Mexico and South America, but now cultivated in most tropical countries.

The enzymes of the Papaya fruit extract have the ability to lift and slough off dead cells from the skin surface to brighten and even the skin tone.

Combined with fine rose-hip seeds this is a preferable and gentle way to exfoliate without rubbing and scrubbing.
