If you want the anti-ageing benefits of retinol but your skin does not tolerate it well, this is worth looking at. Nunaia's Selvabiome Alternative Retinol Complex delivers comparable results without the typical irritation, dryness, or redness that conventional retinol can cause. That makes it suitable for even sensitive skin types.
The formula also includes pre and post biotics to support your skin's natural barrier, and an active lipid complex with skin-identical ceramides that replenish essential fats, vitamins, and minerals. The texture is silky and lightweight. It absorbs quickly and does not sit heavy on the skin, so it layers well under SPF and makeup.
The ingredients are 99.989% plant-based and 80% organic, built around a base of sunflower, jojoba, shea butter, aloe vera, and calendula. It is Ecocert COSMOS certified, vegan, and cruelty free.
About the Maker
Nunaia is an Irish organic skincare brand founded by Nicola Connolly, who spent over a decade living and working with indigenous communities in the Amazon Rainforest, Galapagos Islands, and Andes Mountains of Peru and Ecuador. While living in the Andes, she noticed how local people used incredible plants to stay healthy and look after their skin despite harsh conditions, and she began adopting their practices. Nunaia works directly with small farmer growers in Peru who use sustainable, certified organic farming practices. Every product is made in Ireland, in North Tipperary.
How to Use
Apply to cleansed skin morning and evening. Use after serum (such as the Nunaia Nourishing Radiance Serum) and before SPF in the morning. A small amount is enough for face, neck, and chest.
