Our vegan probiotic will stimulate your natural skin regeneration to increase resilience in your skin and strengthen your skin's barrier, to reduce fine lines, sensitivity and clear breakouts faster.
Aqua
[say it like] a•kwuh
What makes up the bulk of this formulation. Water is used as the base of many skincare products including Renew, as a solvent, because it is what the other ingredients in the formulation dissolve into, to create the formula (aka the end result).
Glycerin
[say it like] glis•uh•ruhn
Glycerin will actively draw water into your skin to prevent water loss. In turn, keeping your skin hydrated and moisturised for longer (healthy looking skin).
Jojoba oil
[say it like] ho•ho•bah oil
Jojoba oil is a liquid wax and a natural occlusive agent, which moisturises, nourishes and protects your skin. This oil is a similar consistency to your skin's natural oils, making it ideal for oily skin as it helps to regulate sebum (oil) production and is non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog your pores).
Fragrance
[say it like] fray•gruhns
Infused with Tailor's iconic scent with notes of vanilla, green and floral. Our fragrance is a bespoke blend of extracts of essential oil chosen for their relaxing and soothing properties. All the ingredients in our fragrance are derived from natural sources, as essential oils can be quite active on the skin and it's important to us we made sure our fragrance is gentle.
Benzyl Alcohol
[say it like] ben•zile al•kuh•hol
We're about to be very transparent with you here. This is our chosen preservative system in our skincare range. Benzyl alcohol is a powerful broad-spectrum antibacterial preservative used to stabilise skincare. It is multi-purpose (think Tailor) as it also helps dissolve other ingredients and decreases the viscosity (thickness) of formulas so they flow more easily - you know that squeeze of free-flow gel.
Dehydroacetic Acid
[say it like] dee•high•jrow•seat•ick•acid
One of our preservatives in Renew with a potent anti-fungal to keep this cleanser safe to use for longer - because we all love a long shelf life. When mixed (& matched) with Benzyl Alcohol they create a broad-spectrum preservative against yeasts, moulds and funguses. Take note, our preservative system is synthetically derived and is ECOCERT certified to be used in natural skincare.
Xanthan Gum
[say it like] zan•thumb•gum
I'm a plant polysaccharide, which hydrates your skin without clogging those pores. And with long term use, they've been *scientifically proven* to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
