Bioactive Totarol™
Featured in
Renewing Antioxidant Facial Oil
Restorative Hydration Cream
Revive & Brighten Antioxidant Facial Serum
Regenerative Overnight Repair Mask
Bioactive Totatol™ features in high doses across the full TWYG range. With a special patented process we extract out Bioactive Totarol™ in its purest, organic form: a natural preservative that’s also an anti-microbial, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. So what protected the Tōtara Tree against bad for 100 million years, now protects you.
Bioactive Totarol™ strongly inhibits lipid peroxidation and scavenges ROS (reactive oxygen species); its high antioxidant properties have been tested and proven to be seven times more effective than Vitamin E, a popular antioxidant used across skincare. Antioxidants are molecules that neutralise free radicals, unstable molecules that can cause harm if their levels become too high in the body. They’re linked to multiple illnesses and are caused by oxidative stress caused by lifestyle and environmental factors like sun, UV rays, pollution and smoking.
