Product Information

Broccoli seed oil is almost 50 percent erucic acid, a type of monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, which nourishes and protects skin from environmental aggressors. Broccoli seed oil also contains vitamin A, C and K as well as B vitamins. Flaxseed oil is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids improve the skin’s elasticity and texture, as well as help to calm redness. Daikon radish seed extract contains a mixture of C18, C20, and C22 fatty acids, which is unlike most cosmetic grade oils that primarily consist of C16 and C18 fatty acids. This unique mixture enables Daikon radish seed extract to impart a delicate slip with good absorption, as well as provide a sensory profile that is similar to esters and silicone type emollients. These three key ingredients combined with several other beneficial plant oils and extracts enables the Elemis Superfood Facial Oil to balance your complexion while providing a soft, supple feel to the skin after every application.

Fortunately, the brand does keep out most other potentially harmful ingredients that can cause unnecessary irritation and dryness. For example, Elemis skincare products are free from Aluminium, Artificial dyes, Coal Tar, DEA, Formaldehyde, Hydroquinone, Methylisothiazolinone/methylchloroisothiazolinone, Mineral oils, Oxybenzone, Parabens, Phthalates, Retinyl Palmitate, SLS/ SLES, Talc, Triclocarban and Triclosan. What Are The Top 10 Best Elemis Skincare Products? As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness. The brand does use beneficial ingredients in some products (e.g. sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, glycerin, niacinamide, lactic acid, etc) Overall, we don’t recommend Elemis skincare products since the brand uses low concentrations of key ingredients, and they include fragrance in all product formulations. Pros Elemis Pro Collagen Eye Renewal is an anti-aging eye cream that is said to reduce the appearance of fine lines and nourish the delicate eye area. Independent clinical trials have proven that the Elemis Pro Collagen Eye Renewal can smooth and tone the appearance of fine lines around the eye contour. Most of the key ingredients in this eye cream are derived from algae, such as Padina pavonica, methylsilanol mannuronate, and chlorella.

Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand that is now available in over 45 countries around the world. Elemis Superfood Facial Wash is a refreshing gel cleanser infused with a nutrient-dense Supergreen Complex to deeply cleanse skin and revive dull-looking skin. The Supergreen Complex consists of wheatgrass, kale, nettle, and minerals that all work together to promote a luminous complexion. A sugar-derived prebiotic, alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, helps to maintain a healthy balance in the skin’s microflora. Mica reflects light from the face, creating the illusion of a smoother, softer, and more radiant skin toneThe brand claims that passion fruit extract, avocado oil, and broccoli seed oil are “key” ingredients. However, these ingredients are used in very low concentrations (less than 1%)

A nighttime moisturiser that is said to nourish the skin with intense nutrition whilst you sleep so you wake up to a healthy glow Contains less than 1% of “key” ingredients (kombucha, fermented ginger, and fermented green tea seed oil) In fact, many of the Elemis skincare products contain more fragrance than key ingredients! One example is the Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel. If you look at the ingredient list, Fragrance (Parfum) comes before papain (the enzyme derived from papaya extract) and pineapple extract.A rinse-off exfoliator that gently dissolves dead skin cells without abrasion, leaving skin looking and feeling smooth, revitalised, and radiant. An anti-wrinkle moisturiser with a gel-cream texture that is said to improve hydration, leaving skin looking and feeling firmer and more radiant Even if you don’t have a full blown reaction to the ingredient, the damage may still be occurring every day. Ultimately, this can cause mild problems for your skin in the short term and worse problems in the long term. This is something to keep in mind before purchasing Elemis skincare products, especially if you have sensitive skin.

One reason this is problematic is because the low concentrations of key ingredients mean that there’s a low chance they will provide benefits to your skin. Don’t get us wrong, more doesn’t always equal better. This is true with the ingredient retinol, which is effective even at low concentrations. However, the brand could definitely use higher concentrations of ingredients like cucumber extract, avocado oil, and the other botanical extracts that they claim are key ingredients. While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for.
