LEPAAR - Yuzu Vitamin C Serum / Complexion Saving Antioxidant Concentrate

LEPAAR - Yuzu Vitamin C Serum / Complexion Saving Antioxidant Concentrate

An antioxidant powerhouse serum, composed with sun-infused extracts of wildcrafted Yuzu grown on Lepaar's Kangaroo Valley property and organic fruit left over from their friend's harvest this year.

Yuzu softens even the driest of skin, activates and restores. According to Ayurvedic medicine, Yuzu soothes the 'vata doshas' characterised by space, wind and air, which is why it has been traditionally used for dry skin conditions.

Energetically, Yuzu lifts anxiety, releases tension and instills a sense of calm, clarity and warming refreshment – which seems like an oxymoron, but if you've ever had a Japanse Yuzu tea ('Yuzu Cha'), or sipped a hot lemon water in the chill of winter, you know what I mean...

Skin Type: Women and men of all ages. Dry + skin that has visible negative effects of the Sun.

Fragrance profile: Light, herbaceous citrus notes accentuated and softened with warm Vanilla. Imagine a walk through a citrus blossom orchard under a pale but still warming Winter Sun. Fragrant with zest, honey and ripe juicy citrus fruit. So light, but so there.

Lepaar crafts all extracts by sun-infusing whole plant material into early-harvest, virgin cold-pressed biodynamic olive oil. The first harvest of unripe olives produces an exceptionally nutrient-rich oil with a remarkably high phenolic content, which naturally stabilises and preserves both the extracts and the skin.

Using this ancient method of bioactive botanical extraction, Lepaar co-infuses all botanicals in each composition together, allowing them to commune and synergise—enhancing one another’s potency and bioavailability.

Each plant component is selected for its specific purpose and its intrinsic connection to other compounds. Growing evidence supports that synergistic whole-plant extracts are far more effective than isolated single components.
