African cream is a mild cosmetic which is especially recommended for thread-vein and very sensitive complexion. It has moistening and regenerative properties, protects delicate vessels against irritations and inhibits ageing processes..

The cream has soothing, anti-inflammatory, moistening and anti-ageing properties. Dried baobab leaves added to the cream decrease visibility of vessels and alleviate red marks. What is more, it has strong moistening properties and keeps water inside the epidermis. The skin becomes tensed, firm and soothed. Anti-ageing properties in turn help to remove the first symptoms of ageing as well as small wrinkles and prevents the creation of new ones..

Baobab leaves powder (Adansonia digitata leaf) has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. It contains large amounts of provitamin A, calcium and polysaccharides. This product is perfect for removing the first symptoms of skin ageing. Besides it has anti-inflammatory properties and prevents hair and skin diseases. It has green hue, therefore, it is used in cosmetics designed for thread-vein complexions (powders, creams, foundations). It also decreases visibility of vessels and red marks.

Sambucus nigra flower extract used in the preparation of the cream has ECOCERT certificate which confirms its natural and ecological origin. Sambucos nogri stimulates production of hyaluronic acid and increases levels of moistening and regeneration; it also protects fragile capillaries enhancing their elasticity. The substance is one of the strongest antioxidants which shows alleviating, anti-inflammatory, cleansing as well as tensing and antibacterial properties. Its precious properties are used in both medicine and in cosmetics. The flowers of black elder are a rich source of substances such as sambunigrin glycoside, benzaldehyde, hydrocyanic acid, rutin, essential oils, organic acids – ascorbic and caffeic, malic, valeric and hydrochloric acids, tannins as well as vitamin E.

Argan oil lacks preservatives and contains considerable amounts of fatty acids (omega 6 and 9) as well as vitamin E, which is responsible for high antioxidant properties.

Liquorice extract — its main component is glycyrrhizic acid (having strong properties of binding water in the skin), which improves skin firmness, and glycyrrhetinic acid (a component of glycyrrhizic acid). These substances give liquorice anti-inflammatory, bacteriostatic, anti- allergic and anti-oxidative properties. It protects skin against UV radiation and heals erythema caused by excessive suntanning. Liquorice helps treating dermatoses which require constant treatment with steroids. Besides it is a perfect component of cosmetics for oily and acne-prone complexions, including complexions prone to inflammatory conditions.
