Verdant Wild Apothecary • FORTIFY repairing face cream

Formerly known as True North, this rich cream has a nourishing, repairing action and is especially suitable for dry, damaged, aging, and/or sensitive skin. It is full of antioxidants and ceramides that support a healthy skin barrier while being clean, noncomedogenic, and essential oil free. The heavy hitters in this cream are sustainably wildcrafted huckleberry and rosehip, calendula, a variety of ceramide-rich botanical oils that create a balanced fatty acid profile, and upcycled white lupine seed extract, obtained by a supercritical CO2 extraction process. This active is a byproduct of the food industry and 95.4% organic according to the COSMOS standard. It is extracted from the seeds of sustainability grown white lupine, from the West of France. In-vitro tests have demonstrated that it stimulates collagen synthesis and the production of quality collagen by activating the chaperone protein HSP47 to improve skin elasticity, while remodeling and firming. 1 fl. oz in glass jar.
