Light and quick to absorb, Citrus Ritual gives skin an instant boost of moisture from a combination of aloe vera and plant butters which is ‘locked in’ by organic jojoba oil. The zesty mix of essential oils add a feeling of instant ‘refresh’ as well as bringing their own unique ‘healing’ qualities.
Citrus Ritual
Massage into skin as necessary, particularly after shower/bath and prolonged exposure to sun/central heating/air conditioning. Wearing added SPF during the day is advised. Patch test before extensive use. Discontinue use should irritation occur. Not for delicate/ eye areas.
Aloe vera
(aloe barbadensis)Our heroine base ingredient of Citrus Ritual because of its super hydrating qualities, ability to help stimulate a natural production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin fibers within the skin, abundance of anti-oxidants/anti-inflammatories AND anti-microbial properties. Aloe vera can reduce the appearance of dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and can aid in relieving eczema and psoriasis.
Organic Shea butter
(Vitellaria paradoxa)A fat derived from the Karite tree, native to the dry savannahs of West Africa. Used for centuries medicinally, its concentration of fatty acids, vitamins A, E & F and anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties make it another “must have” in skin care. Easily absorbed into the dermis, shea butter can naturally soothe and smooth, plumping the appearance and protecting the skin's ability to produce natural oils.
Organic Cocoa butter
(theobroma cacao)Derived from the sacred cacao tree, it’s similar to chocolate as it melts at body temperature. Another big-hitter in hydration, cocoa butter can lock in that moisture whilst protecting the skin from ageing free radicals. A very stable fat, its perfect for most skin types and can be excellent in treating dermatological conditions. Aloelle use unrefined organic cocoa butter of which you may find the odd speck. It's perfectly safe and natural and it helps to preserve the shelf-life of Aloelle products.
Organic Coconut oil
(cocos nucifera)Aloelle uses only cold-pressed, organic virgin coconut oil to retain the nutrients vital to perform a calming effect on the skin. Its anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties can help accelerate the healing of wounds as well as providing deeply penetrating moisture which 'locks' into the upper layers of the skin.
Organic Jojoba oil
(simmondsia chinesis)Produced from the seeds of the jojoba plant, it’s technically not an oil, but a wax, it works as an excellent barrier to seal in moisture and nutrients and to block harmful environmental damage. Organic jojoba oil contains vitamin E, speeding up cell regeneration in both skin and body and a vitamin B complex that guards against cell damage.
Vitamin E oil
(triticum)Aloelle uses vitamin E oil derived from wheat and is another must-have in skin care, providing hydration, anti-oxidant protection and soothing pollutant stress.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Lemongrass
(cymbopogon citratus)Bonus packed the aroma alone can be great at relieving stress, mental fatigue and insomnia. This derives from an active component called eugenol. Eugenol triggers the release of serotonin that helps to regulate our cognitive functions, such as sleep and appetite. Lemongrass essential oil is a great astringent, toning and strengthening the skin and its anti-septic and anti-oxidant qualities can help to heal wounds.
Sweet orange
(citrus sinensis)Has the ability to clarify, tone and when massaged into the dermis, it can increase blood flow and the production of collagen. These combined factors can be great at clearing acne and adding a ‘glow’ to skin.
Lime
(citrus aurantifolia)With anti-septic and astringent properties, lime is another great oil for cleansing the skin, whilst fighting the effects of free radicals. Its scent is generally known to uplift and can be beneficial when feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
Grapefruit
(citrus paradisi)Its astringent and detoxifying properties can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. As a cleanser it removes impurities and helps to re-balance the skin. As with other citrus oils, its aroma is uplifting and energising.
Lemon
(citrus limon)Unsurprisingly, lemon oil is a great anti-septic, anti-microbial, astringent detoxifier. Added into your skin care, it re-energises tired looking skin and it's also great at hydrating and locking in essential moisture. As with other citrus oils, it lifts the mood and, even when applied topically, can help with respiratory problems.
Bergamot
(citrus bergamia)Studies have shown that the calming and uplifting effects of bergamot apply to mind and body. When used in massage, it can re-balance the skin and can also alleviate sore and cramping muscles. Like other citrus oils, its anti-bacterial and astringent properties cleanse pores and can aid in healing sores and wounds.
Lavender
(lavandula augustifolia)
Popular in skin care for a variety of reasons, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties that can help heal wounds and clear up rashes. It can also reduce redness in the skin, leaving it glowing and rejuvenated.All of the ingredients used by Aloelle have been laboratory tested but our formulas have been tested on humans.
