2011 BEAUTY AWARDS: FINALISTS IN ECO BEAUTY

DARPHIN HYDRASKIN ESSENTIAL
Darphin's use of Fair Trade Certifited Shea Butter from the IDEAL Providence Farms company contributes to the improvement of the living conditions of women and their families. Hydraskin Essential features a Shea Butter obtained through a community benefit program supporting women in Ghana.

Hyrdraskin Essential is enriched with HydraStructure™ Technology, based upon two powerful plant extracts, works hard at reactivating the skin's natural hydration system. Salicornia is an unique plant that grows in extremely dry environments and soils with a high salt content and a low water level. Its survival is directly linked to the presence of water transporters that play a vital role in protecting the plant from dehydration. Salicornia oil is extracted from the aerial parts of the plants using the supercritical CO2 extraction process and greatly helps hydrate skin.

The Butterfly Lavender extract maintains water in the epidermis by restoring the Statum Corneum. It helps create a “barrier effect” which protects the skin from external aggressors. Organic Safflower Oil, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, Mango Butter and organic Shea Butter offers suppleness and optimum comfort for the skin.
