Did you know that Strawberry Gum Leaf naturally contains Vitamin B3 Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Saylicylic Acid all in one single plant extract? Thanks to its ability to build up the skin’s barrier function, nourish cells and strengthen and protect the skin against external stressors, it is the single plant ingredient used in Biologi’s new serum: Bg Defence Anti-Pollution Serum.
Proving the power of nature, Strawberry Gum Leaf offers a natural solution to those ingredients that commonly come in a synthetic form, yet in great news, when extracted using Biologi’s technology, it still remains 100% active.
Strawberry Gum Leaf
The Strawberry Gum tree is a rare species that is wild harvested (not plantation grown) and thrives in a drier environment. These trees are grown on the southern side of the Great Dividing Range in Australia, and although they are small trees, they are leaf abundant and produce flowers. What’s perhaps the most interesting thing about Strawberry Gum is the fact that the leaves contain a powerful combination of phyto-actives that are incredible for the skin (hello Vitamin C, Vitamin B3 Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid)!
The skin benefits
Strawberry Gum Leaf extract contains powerful active ingredients that work in synergy to promote collagen production, reduce redness and enhance hydration, the gentle yet distinctive naturally derived odour profile is the proof for the senses that the extract is sourced straight from the plant and bottled in its original, active state. Featuring a powerful combination of B vitamins, Vitamin C, flavonoids, genistein, Salicylic Acid, and protocatechuic acid, the extract assists to heal, nourish and repair the skin on a cellular level while building long-lasting protection essential for optimal skin health into the future.
In a first for Biologi and the skincare industry as a whole, Biologi’s Bg Anti-Pollution Defence Serum has harnessed the power of Strawberry Gum Leaf extract in its natural form which will build up the skin’s barrier function, nourish cells and strengthen and protect the skin against external stressors that we can’t avoid. The extract of Strawberry Gum Leaf works hard as a daytime protector to build antioxidant protection and offer a superior level of protection against persistent toxins such as blue light and pollution.
Strawberry Gum Leaf extract also contains Salicylic Acid which is ideal on acne, problematic and breakout-prone skin. Because it’s a BHA rather than an AHA, it works to help an overactive oily skin in decongesting and keeping pores clear, where breakouts start. It can also work as a natural exfoliant, helping to loosen compacted skin cells and lead to a more hydrated, balanced complexion without the use of abrasive products that can cause irritation.
Along with salicylic acid, the Bg Defence Serum contains plant Vitamin C and Niacinamide (B3) which is a unique combination taken from nature that works to reduce redness, and increase hydration, whilst providing superior antioxidant protection to prevent accelerated ageing.
Strawberry Gum Leaf extract also naturally contains B group Vitamins B3, B5, B2, and B6 – all which help to reduce redness, increase hydration and regulate oil production. This potent vitamin complex encourages cellular healing and calms skin to give a stronger, clearer complexion.
