Fortunately, the brand does keep out most other potentially harmful ingredients that can cause unnecessary irritation and dryness. For example, Elemis skincare products are free from Aluminium, Artificial dyes, Coal Tar, DEA, Formaldehyde, Hydroquinone, Methylisothiazolinone/methylchloroisothiazolinone, Mineral oils, Oxybenzone, Parabens, Phthalates, Retinyl Palmitate, SLS/ SLES, Talc, Triclocarban and Triclosan. What Are The Top 10 Best Elemis Skincare Products?

Overall, we don’t recommend Elemis skincare products since the brand uses low concentrations of key ingredients, and they include fragrance in all product formulations. Pros We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. The brand claims that passion fruit extract, avocado oil, and broccoli seed oil are “key” ingredients. However, these ingredients are used in very low concentrations (less than 1%) As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.An anti-wrinkle moisturiser with a gel-cream texture that is said to improve hydration, leaving skin looking and feeling firmer and more radiant Broccoli seed oil is almost 50 percent erucic acid, a type of monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, which nourishes and protects skin from environmental aggressors. Broccoli seed oil also contains vitamin A, C and K as well as B vitamins. Flaxseed oil is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Omega-3 fatty acids improve the skin’s elasticity and texture, as well as help to calm redness. Daikon radish seed extract contains a mixture of C18, C20, and C22 fatty acids, which is unlike most cosmetic grade oils that primarily consist of C16 and C18 fatty acids. This unique mixture enables Daikon radish seed extract to impart a delicate slip with good absorption, as well as provide a sensory profile that is similar to esters and silicone type emollients. These three key ingredients combined with several other beneficial plant oils and extracts enables the Elemis Superfood Facial Oil to balance your complexion while providing a soft, supple feel to the skin after every application.

Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand that is now available in over 45 countries around the world.

While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for. The brand does use beneficial ingredients in some products (e.g. sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, glycerin, niacinamide, lactic acid, etc)
