Cleo Radiant Elixir w/24K gold | 30ml

This potent yet lightweight blend of 17 active botanicals leaves skin visibly supple, nourished and glowing from within. Formulated with intensely nourishing botanical oils as well as 24K gold. This luxurious face oil helps to improve skin emolliency, transepidermal water loss, and smoothness, while providing an anti-oxidant punch.

Fun Fact: Cleo was inspired by ancient Egyptians who regarded skincare as holy and part of their spiritual practice.  They believed pure  24K gold flakes to be an essential part of their skin rituals.  And no wonder, it is a clinically proven excellent antioxidant that can assist in decreasing redness & age spots, slow collagen depletion and enhance elasticity.  

 

Key Ingredients

Grapeseed Oil:  Known for its anti-inflammatory properties but this oil's strength lies in its molecular structure.  The Polyphenol compounds in grapeseed oil, such as proanthocyanidins, are especially powerful antioxidants.  The proanthocyanidins found within are possibly 20 times greater than that of vitamin E and 50 times greater than that of vitamin C

 

Camellia japonica(tsubaki) Oil:  Intensely moisturizing oil that contains high levels of Omega 9 fatty acids.  Oleic acid(omega 9) helps maintain and replenish the skin’s barrier function and prevent water loss, also protecting it from UV and environmental damage.  

 

Borage seed oil: Containing the highest level of linolenic acid in a plant, borage oil is especially beneficial as an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant.  Linolenic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid, helps promote a healthy skin barrier by replenishing the lipids in the outermost layer of the epidermis, thus increasing hydration of the skin.

 

Sea buckthorn: high in Vitamin C(10X more than an orange).  This amazing berry contains 190 bioactive compounds, one of which is palmitooleic acid (omega-7) which is a component of skin lipids and stimulates regenerative processes in the epidermis and wound healing.  And because it also contains high levels of linoleic acid, it helps regulate and and retain moisture levels in the skin.  Also helps to improve overall skintone.

 

Neroli(orange blossom): Stimulates skin cells to regenerate as well as having anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties.  Also very calming and soothing for the skin.

 

Helichrysum(Immortelle): Excellent cell-stimulator, cell-regenerator, scar healer and skin protector. It defends the skin against damage from free radicals while minimizing wrinkles and fading scars.

 

 

Use:

Gently massage into face, neck and chest morning and evening after cleansing, being mindful not to get in the eye area.  Cleo Radiant Elixir is also excellent to use with a massage tool such as a gua sha, kansa wand, or jade roller.  

 

*Please be mindful of clothing when 1st applying, as the natural color of rosehip seed oil and sea buckthorn can stain. 

 

*A completely natural product is subject to small variatons of color within each batch.  Just as in nature, not every harvest yields the exact same botanical every time.  Sea Buckthorn is a lovely bright orange but you will sometimes see a difference in intensity of color from batch to batch.  This can in turn affect the color of Roots Botanica products.  Rest assured you are still getting the same great product every time!
