Restore & Protect Serum

UV rays and environmental pollution are skin aggressors actively promoting premature ageing.  Kumanu’s Restore & Protect serum contains some of the best restorative ingredients known, including Hyauronic Acid and Vitamin C along with unrivalled nutrients from NZ’s own bounty of land and sea botanicals.  This formulation will provide long lasting hydration, soothe and calm the skin and provide an anti-pollution shield.

Active ingredients are as follows:

• Hyaluronic Acid keeps the skin hydrated and supple due to its high water retention ability, and helps restore smoothness and elasticity to the skin*.  The hyaluronic acid we use is corn derived – not synthetic or animal derived.
• Vitamin C is crucial for the synthesis of collagen, and skin application has been shown to be effective in increasing collagen deposits.  It has further been shown to reduce the severity of sunburns and age spots.  The benefits of vitamin C for the skin cannot be achieved well by ingestion, hence topical application is essential for preventing oxidative damage resulting from pollution, smoke and sunlight.
• Selectively curated and sustainably sourced New Zealand grown world star antioxidants – blackcurrant and green tea. Combining them with karengo (NZ red seaweed) and mamaku (black fern) maximises the restoration and protection of the skin via their bold yet different modes of action.  They address a lack of antioxidants and prematurely ageing skin, reduce the negative impact of UV exposure and environmental pollution on the skin and promote the expression of collagen.
• Aloe vera for moisture and hydration, and to soothe and calm.
