Zelens Velvet Primer
- Mattifying & Pore Refining is an advanced shine-control treatment primer that creates an immaculate canvas with a velvet-smooth matte finish for a long-lasting make-up. Instantly refines pores, absorbs excess sebum & improves skin texture. Infused with antioxidants from green Shiso leaves to help shield against environmental assaults. Active ingredients: Usnic Acid: Extracted from the alpine lichen Usnea barbata, this completely plant-derived active demonstrates multiple actions: antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, protectant & wound healing. It helps to regulate excessive sebum production & maintain the epidermis’ natural p H. Plant sugars: Plant-derived sugars that help optimise circulation of water throughout all skin layers, limit water loss & boost production of natural hyaluronic acid. Clinical results showed that these plant sugars reduced desquamation by 25% & smoothed skin’s micro-relief by 30% after 28 days. Shiso leaf (Perilla, Japanese mint): Rich in polyphenols (particularly Rosmarinic acid) & triterpenoids (particularly Ursolic acid), natural molecules that demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial & anti-allergic bioactivities. Shiso leaf acts as a powerful antioxidant defending skin from free radical damage. It helps to prevent skin reactivity & soothes sensitive skin. Shiso leaf is well-known in Kampo medicine for its strong detox properties. Vitamin E: An antioxidant with a key role in the protection of cellular membranes from free radicals.
