REWIND - Organic Toning Oil

A natural remedy for reducing the appearance of fine lines & aging, REWIND helps skin maintain elasticity & moisture, while preventing future signs of aging with protective antioxidants. Artisan, seasonal beauty is more than just hype: it's the purest form of skincare available. We base all of our formulations on the latest peer-reviewed & published research. REWIND is no exception. As soon as you open the bottle, you'll catch a whiff of sage, flowers & maybe even cookies--that's honeysuckle and lavender; no artificial anything here.                                                                            
Honeysuckle, extracted in organic squalane and jojoba oils, offers gentle chemical exfoliation via natural BHA salicylic acid, while gently assuaging inflammation through the same naturally occurring acid. Thanks to squalane, anti-oxidant flavanoids and saponins penetrate deep into the skin, for powerful anti-aging properties. Organic pomegranate seed oil offers additional skin-brightening properties through it's high vitamin C content.

Rewind’s Formulation: A Few Highlights

Much like the changing of the seasons REWIND was created based upon premise of renewal and turning back time.

In a nutshell, this is what makes REWIND work:
• Naturally derived beta-hydroxy acids
• Vitamin C (brightener)
• Squalane and Jojoba Oils
• Saponins, Flavanoids, Terpenes

We use squalane as the natural carrier of many ingredients because it is known to help the active ingredients penetrate deeper and faster into the skin for better anti-aging results.

What exactly is Squalane carrying?

First of all: honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle flower extract is a powerful source of anti-oxidant flavanoids and saponins, making it a good anti-ager. It’s an anti-oxidant, so it helps reduce free radicals and the aging skin damage that comes with free radicals.

Honeysuckle extract also contains a form of salicylic acid (p-hydroxy benzoic acid of the salicylic class), which you might know from acne treatments. Salicylic acid–also known as a BHA–is a chemical exfoliator that helps prevent pores from getting clogged by correcting the abnormal shedding of cells. It has aspirin-like properties (because aspirin is made from salicylic acid), giving it anti-inflammatory properties. It can improve skin thickness, barrier functions and collagen production — that’s all good news for your skin. An added benefit is that natural honeysuckle has a sweet pleasing scent which makes the use of REWIND even more wondrous.
The next ingredient, lavender flower extract, reduces redness and inflammation – both of which will make your skin look old and over-worked.

Then sage leaf and spearmint leaf extracts join the formulation. Both are high in rosmarinic acid (much more so than rosemary itself), which is a great regulator for melanin —meaning it helps keep your skin tone even and keeps dark and damaged spots at bay (while fading the ones you already have). This is especially true when using spearmint leaf and sage at the same time – which we do in REWIND.

Rosmarinic acid in spearmint leaf also helps alleviate signs of oxidative stress, and is strongly antioxidant. Overall, the carvones in spearmint leaves help reduce stress in the body, even when applied topically. Using spearmint leaf extract is just a great way to tell your body and skin to calm down.

Finally, the terpenes in spearmint leaf extract are penetration enhancers, like jojoba oil and squalane, so you don’t have to worry about the active ingredients in this formulation making it deep into your skin! Seriously, that’s a big issue that us beauty bloggers look at when weighing skincare products: Will the active ingredients in this formulation even be able to penetrate the skin? So no worries, REWIND will.
Rose damascena, extracted with pomegranated seed oil, round out the formulation. Rose damascena has been used for centuries in the Middle East for it’s anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, antitussive, hypnotic, antidiabetic, and relaxant effects. For REWIND, we just care about the first two things--reducing inflammation and protecting skin from oxidative damage due to sun exposure, pollution and other environmental factors.

Additionally, rose is high in natural skin brightener and toner, vitamin C. The reason we extract our roses in pomegranate seed oil, was to get the highest vitamin C content, bringing the brightening aspect into the formulation, alongside the melanin regulating effects that rosmarinic acid in spearmint and sage bring.

So, again REWIND is:
• Melanin-regulating
• Skin brightening
• Anti-aging
• Anti-oxidant
• Anti-inflammatory
You can expect skin to be refreshed, toned, renewed and protected from oxidative damage.
