Science behind the formulation
The Good Routine ® Day Cream No. 17Aloe Vera is widely known for its ability to hydrate and soothe the skin. Its high water content provides deep moisturization without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types. It also contains antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, which help repair skin damage, fight free radicals, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion. Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm irritated or sensitive skin, making it ideal for daily use.
Tulsi, or holy basil, is a powerful herb with strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It helps combat oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants and UV exposure, protecting the skin from premature aging and damage. Tulsi also purifies the skin, keeping it free from acne-causing bacteria, and balances excess oil production. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe the skin, making it appear refreshed and rejuvenated.
Rose water has long been used in skincare for its ability to calm and tone the skin. It hydrates, soothes irritation, and reduces redness, making it especially beneficial for sensitive or dry skin. Rose also helps to maintain the skin's pH balance and controls excess oil production. The presence of antioxidants in rose water helps to strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissues, giving the skin a smooth, revitalized look.
Kumkumadi Thailam is a luxurious Ayurvedic oil blend known for its skin-brightening and anti-aging properties. It is rich in saffron, sandalwood, and other herbs that improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and promote a glowing, even complexion. It also helps in reducing dark circles, spots, and blemishes, giving the skin a youthful and radiant appearance. This oil nourishes deeply, promoting cell regeneration and improving overall skin health.
Yashtimadhu, or licorice root extract, is renowned for its skin brightening effects. It inhibits the enzyme responsible for producing dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even skin tone. Yashtimadhu also has potent anti-inflammatory properties, which help calm irritated skin and reduce redness. Additionally, it contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental damage, while its soothing qualities help maintain skin moisture and softness.
Turmeric is a powerhouse ingredient with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. It helps to reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation, making it ideal for treating acne-prone or sensitive skin. Turmeric also brightens the skin and reduces the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation over time. Its antioxidant properties fight off free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage, while also promoting collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin.
Saffron is a luxurious ingredient known for its ability to brighten the skin and enhance complexion. It reduces the appearance of dark spots, blemishes, and pigmentation, giving the skin a luminous glow. Saffron also contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental stressors and slow down signs of aging. Regular use helps improve skin texture and radiance, leaving it looking more youthful and vibrant.
