Sourcing ingredients from the desert to the sea, we have selected the best that nature has to offer. All FaceWise products contain the innovative super oil from Kalahari melon seeds, known their ability to thrive in some the world's harshest environments resulting in an oil that is intensely nourishing and perfect for all skin types.
Rock Samphire Extract
Samphire has long been regarded as a culinary delicacy, however, recent research has specifically uncovered the additional properties of rock samphire; natural hardiness and its ability to withstand not only extreme wind and rain but also salt water mean that the extract derived from it is a natural skin elixir, perfect for locking in moisture.
Contributing to the improved cohesion of skin cells at the surface, it ensures that skin remains hydrated, and protected against environmental pollutants from entering the skin.
Scientifically recognised for encouraging skin uniformity and cell renewal, rock samphire extract improves overall skin complexion, boosting radiance and luminosity
Kalahari Melon Seed Oil
The original wild watermelon, the Kalahari Melon is thousands of years old. The oil extracted from its seeds has an extremely high concentration of omega 6, essential fatty acids and natural vitamin E, much higher than other widely used oils, making it exceptionally dry yet rich and super absorbent – the perfect combination to enhance overall health and strength.
Key to the diet of the San people of southern Africa as they travel across the harsh Kalahari desert, the melon’s seasonal presence dictates when they undertake their journey through the sparse and unforgiving landscape. The Kalahari melon’s incredible properties means that it can sustain a human for a number of weeks alone, without any other food or water.
One of the most sustainable cosmetic oils on the market, this super oil also ensures ecological, economical, and social sustainability. Originally considered a weed, the Kalahari melon grows in abundance in the North West Province of South Africa, an area that has been severely affected by drought as a direct result of climate change. The plant naturally grows with very little water, making it incredibly sustainable. The discovery of the unique properties of the Kalahari melon oil have provided the opportunity to regenerate the agricultural industry in an area and community so acutely affected by climate change.
A truly powerful addition to your daily skincare regime.
