THE SCIENCE OF SKIN
What is pigmentation?
Glowing, energised, and luminous: that’s what we’re talking about when we talk about bright skin. Melanin is the pigment that is responsible for our skin tone, eye colour, and hair colour; a complex polymer derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Your natural melanin levels are determined by genetics; however, there are other factors that can influence the production of melanin such as exposure to UV light, inflammation, hormones, age, skin pigment disorders, and pregnancy. Increased levels of melanin in the skin is called “melanogenesis,” and this can lead to dark spots, sun spots, patchy skin, and uneven skin tone – all the hallmarks of pigmentation.
The best way to help reverse pigmentation, brighten skin, and prevent future damage? Look for products with natural ingredients that help defend against environmental pollutants and inhibit the resulting melanogenesis. And, of course, always wear SPF.

Glowing, energised, and luminous: healthy looking skin needs no introduction. But what can cause skin to become dull and lacklustre? The answer starts with melanin.

The science of antioxidants
Meet nature’s defenders. Antioxidants such as Vitamin C are critical for preserving the health of skin, thanks to their ability to diminish the harm caused by free radicals – unstable molecules which can break down collagen levels and damage skin cells. If it’s glowing skin you seek, antioxidants are a must.
These brightening skin care products have been carefully developed to support brighter-looking skin.
CLEANSE & TONE
Freshens, brightens, and protects as it lifts impurities. Start your day by massaging 2-3 pumps into skin with warm water, then rinse.

Kakadu plum
NATURE'S RICHES SOURCE OF VITAMIN C
With up to 100 times the vitamin C of oranges, this powerful Australian superfruit is used in our brightening skin care to target the effects of pigmentation. The result? Brighter, healthier looking skin.
Vinanza® Grape & Kiwi
CLINICALLY SHOWN TO BIRHGTEN SKIN
A revolutionary brightening antioxidant compound. Vinanza® Grape & Kiwi is sourced in New Zealand from Marlborough sauvignon blanc grape seeds and the skin of the superfruit kiwi.
*Eight-week human clinical study by New Zealand Extracts (2012): Vinanza® Grape & Kiwi is clinically shown to help improve skin appearance by improving skin cell membrane integrity by decreasing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) by 16%, improving skin elasticity by 16%, decreasing skin redness by 7% (erythema), and lightening skin by 3.5% (melanin content).
Bakuchiol
A NATURAL VITAMIN A ALTERNATIVE
This brightening skin care ingredient boasts antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which help to smooth and refine skin texture, protect skin from harmful free radical damage, and correct uneven skin tone. Bakuchiol is a true gift from nature – because while it has been shown to produce the same benefits as retinol, it carries none of the irritating side effects.
