Skin Types 4 & 5 recipes are optimized for clients with higher levels of naturally occurring melanin who may complain of excess oiliness. We added humectants to help lock in moisture to protect dry skin against classic symptoms of brittleness, roughness, unevenness, faintness, and itching. We were excited to discover the benefits of honey and rosemary, which are featured in these formulas. The antioxidants in honey are thought to be a nutrient supply for the growth of new tissue, while the compounds from rosemary help fight against mutagenic effects of radiation. Lastly we added wasabi. A favorite in Japanese restaurants, we are utilizing wasabi extract as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial to boost to the skin’s defense against excessive sunlight.
