When we stock a new range, we often look for a range with a point of difference. A new skin care range now in store certainly ticks that box.

Antipodes Skin Care is a New Zealand range and I love the innovative New Zealand botanicals included in this range. For instance, scientists found the seeds of sauvignon blanc grapes grown in New Zealand’s Marlborough region contained twice the levels of polyphenolic antioxidants than grapes grown elsewhere in the world and as we know, antioxidants are an essential skincare ingredient. New Zealand’s Manuka Honey is unlike any other honey and hydrates, moisturises and nourishes our skin. Unique native New Zealand botanicals such as Mamaku black fern, Harakeke flax, Manuka shrub and Kawaka leaves are grown in New Zealand’s natural nutrient-rich eco system contain great healing and skin enhancing properties,

Another point of difference comes with the products created to treat skin blemishes and sensitive skin because they contain probiotics. We know when we suffer from skin blemishes, often the go to are products with intense chemical combinations. They may act as a quick fix, treating the symptoms but as with many quick fixes, they don’t address the cause of a more involved problem which can be an imbalance of microbiome. It has been found using the Antipodes Anti Blemish range containing clinically proven probiotics can help promote good bacteria on the skin, re-establishing the right balance to our microbiome, improving and maintaining healthier skin. Already we have customers returning saying how well these products are working.

Did you know our skin which is our body’s largest organ hosts around 1000 species of live bacteria with many living on our skin’s surface? An imbalance of our skin’s microbiome can lead to inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea and eczema. Once again using harsh chemicals which strip the skin should be avoided. Instead using the Antipodes Anti-Redness range is a much better option. These products contain Kalibiome probiotics, which have been scientifically proven to help balance our skin’s microbiome, calming blemishes, redness, and irritation.

Dehydrated skin is a common complaint when customers are looking for skin care products. When our skin is dehydrated it obviously ages faster and can become inflamed and irritated. One particular product in the Antipodes Skin Care range has been found to help our skin stay hydrated and plump with a special triple hydration technology THTtm. The three bioactive compounds found in Maya Hyaluronic 72-hour Hydration Serum work together to boost hydration. Firstly, the Pheohydrane compound from marine algae and sugar draws water into the skin. The plant based hyaluronic acid then assists by holding water in our skin, plumping the cells. And finally, the bamboo ferment retains water thereby protecting from trans epidermal water loss.

Who wouldn’t like a skin care range which may increase type 1collagen, smooth wrinkles, reduce facial fine lines and protect against oxidative stress? Avocado oil contained in Antipodes Skin Care Anti-Aging Skincare range contains sterolin. Sterolin is a natural steroid which activates the production of collagen which is important in focusing on wrinkles, age spots and fine lines. It can also be helpful in revitalising dull and tired looking skin, helping to lessen inflammation.

We know Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant neutralising oxidative stress. Vitamin C not only works internally as an antioxidant but also externally on our skin, helping to protect our skin from environmental stresses. The Antipodes range contains a Vitamin C Serum, Pigment Correcting Cream and a Toner. Kakadu Plum which is 100 times higher in Vitamin C than oranges is an important part of the Antipodes Vitamin C range.
