A vibrant, antioxidant-rich serum composed with sun-infused extracts of wildcrafted Yuzu grown on Lepaar’s Kangaroo Valley property, along with organic fruit gathered from a local harvest.
Yuzu is known for its bright, uplifting aromatic profile and is traditionally appreciated for its refreshing sensorial qualities. In this formula, it contributes to a soft, radiant feel on the skin and adds a citrusy, energizing character to the experience.
The scent of Yuzu is often associated with warmth, clarity, and a sense of gentle invigoration. Much like enjoying a soothing cup of Japanese Yuzu tea or warm lemon water in winter, the aroma offers a comforting and refreshing moment during your skincare ritual.
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.
