  • uniquely formulated with our Glow4Green Technology*

Our exclusive complex of Chlorophyll, Malachite, Curcumin and Spirulina lightens sun spots and improves skin texture. Nothing short of extraordinary.

Our clay extracts are derived from volcanic minerals with an extraordinary detoxifying ability to absorb and neutralize environmental toxins, heavy metals, pollution, bacteria and viruses. They are potently antioxidant and can boost glutathione and SOD enzyme levels protecting the critical lipids of the skin barrier from oxidative damage. Studies have also shown natural antihistamine properties decreasing skin inflammation and allergic reactions by 57%. Found in: Mask Antidote, MultiMasker
Clay extracts
Our skin superstar, Niacinamide or Vitamin B3 has been extensively researched and shown to have so many good effects on the skin when used in a 4-5% concentration (as we have in all our root4 products). • moisturizer/humectant • wrinkle-smoothing • repairs damaged skin barriers • helps with wound healing • skin brightening • can help acne, rosacea and atopic eczema Found in: Complete Serum, Mask Antidote, Eye Crème Solution, Face Crème Originale
Niacinamide
This is a serious anti-wrinkle peptide which has a Botox like action but without the toxin! Studies show that using 10% Argireline around the eyes for 15 days decreases wrinkle depth by 17%. Found in: 10% Argireline is used in our Eye Crème Solution, Face Crème Originale and in the Complete Serum. 5% Argireline is used in our Mask Antidote.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate provides powerful day-time antioxidant defense against pollution, UV and free radicals while boosting collagen production and brightening the skin by reducing the formation of those annoying brown sunspots. Together with Vitamin E and Ferulic acid, it forms part of the power-trio providing superb photo-protection. A study done using THDAC also showed >50% improvement in >75% of acne patients in 2-10 months. Found in: Face Crème Originale, Mask Antidote
Oil Soluble Vitamin C
Vit E (Tocopherol Acetate; d-alpha tocopherol) is one of the key players in the Vit C/Vit E and Ferulic acid power anti-oxidant trio but is also an exceptional free-radical scavenger in its own right. It protects the skin from UVB rays but when combined with Vit C it becomes more broad-spectrum, protecting also against UVA. In this way it boosts sunscreen efficacy. Found in: Face Crème Originale, Complete Serum, 3D Defense SPF50 Mineral Sunscreen, Mask Antidote, MultiMasker, Eye Crème Solution, Cleansing Elixir
Vitamin E
Arbutin is a naturally occurring derivative of hydroquinone which is considered the gold standard in skin lightening agents and it is believed to be one of the best alternatives to hydroquinone providing a similar effect without the risks. Arbutin can be found naturally in the leaves of pear trees, wheat and bearberry. This ingredient is powerful when treating melasma, post-acne pigmentation and photo-ageing by blocking melanin production leaving your skin brighter, more luminous and with a more even tone. Found in: Mask Antidote
Arbutin
Inulin, a natural prebiotic derived from chicory, encourages and protects the ‘friendly’ bacteria on our skin and discourages the growth of ‘unfriendly’ micro-organisms such as Staph Aureus. It treats damaged and irritated skin, dermatitis and rosacea. Studies show that applying these prebiotics to the skin for just 15 minutes can modify the microbiome towards that of a younger skin while increasing hydration 2.6 times. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, MultiMasker, Mask Antidote
Prebiotics from chicory
Dried yoghurt powder encourages and protects the ‘friendly’ while discouraging the ‘unfriendly’ bacteria on our skin. If the microbiome gets stripped away or unbalanced by harsh cleansers, then our skin becomes sensitive and inflamed. Applying these prebiotics to the skin for just 15 minutes can modify the microbiome towards that of a younger skin while increasing hydration 2.6 times. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, MultiMasker, Mask Antidote
Prebiotics from yoghurt powder complex
This ingredient is a natural wax derivative which primarily acts as an emulsifier. This means that it helps 2 liquids which would otherwise separate (such as oil + water) mix together. It helps provide our products with a silky, ultra-soft texture while contributing to a beautifully hydrated skin barrier. Since it can hold up to 6 times its own weight in water, it is an excellent humectant. Found in: MultiMasker, Mask Antidote, Face Crème Originale and Eye Crème Solution
Candelilla wax
Blue Tansy is derived from the steam distillation of the Tanacetum annum flowering plant native to northern Morocco. This therapeutic grade essential oil contains naturally high levels of chamazulene which in addition to giving the oil its beautiful blue color, works to reduce the appearance of redness and soothe dry skin. It is intensely anti-inflammatory and packs an antioxidant punch, making it a great addition for those with eczema, rosacea or acne. Found in: Mask Antidote, Integrative Serum, NovA Oil, SupernovA Oil
Tanacetum annum (Blue Tansy) flower oil
Rice Bran
Rice Bran
Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants and algae. It is a powerful antioxidant which cleans and purifies, drawing out toxins, dirt and oil. It also attacks those nasty free radicals which wreak havoc on our skin accelerating ageing while lightening pigmentation. It has been scientifically proven to speed up the healing of wounds making it useful to clear up acne breakouts. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, Mask Antidote, MultiMasker, Eye Crème Solution, Face Crème Originale, Complete Serum
Chlorophyll
Malachite extract is derived from grinding the Malachite gemstone into a fine powder. This gem of an ingredient deeply detoxifies the skin while it stimulates one of the body’s own most powerful antioxidant enzymes to fight off free radicals. It is rich in copper which the skin requires to make its keratin and it also stimulates collagen production, enhances elasticity and softens wrinkles. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, Mask Antidote, MultiMasker, Face Crème Originale, Complete Serum, Eye Crème Solution
Malachite
Derived from algae, this skin superfood is a powerhouse of protein, Vitamins A, B and E, carotenoids, iron, zinc, copper and gamma-linolenic acid (a powerful anti-inflammatory). It works wonders on dull and congested skin by gently detoxifying and encouraging cell renewal. It is a powerful antioxidant and helps to treat dark under-eye circles and dryness. It is antibacterial and anti-acne. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, Complete Serum, Face Crème Originale, Eye Crème Solution, Mask Antidote, MultiMasker
Spirulina
This skincare ‘gold’ is potently anti-inflammatory with antimicrobial activity to calm down acne-prone skin and regulate oiliness. It’s powerful antioxidant and skin-brightening properties provide the skin with an enviable radiance. Its effect on pigmentation has been shown to be several-fold greater than other natural extracts such as kojic acid. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, Mask Antidote, MultiMasker, Complete Serum, Face Crème Originale, Eye Crème Solution
