Manuka & Lemon Tea Tree Hand Cream 50ml

Originating in Central Mexico, Avocados are now grown in warm climates all around the world. 

• Wide range of nutrients including 11 vitamins and 14 minerals
• Rich in antioxidants to reduce damage from free radicals
• Scientists in California have reported that Avocado oil contains an as yet unidentified substance that has the ability to stimulate ageing collagen to rebuild itself

 A 1991 study shows that Avocado oil may mobilize and increase the collagen content of connective tissue

Vitamins A, D, and E, when applied topically, act as powerful antioxidants and free radical scavengers.  When combined together they promote natural collagen production in the skin therefore helping to improve skin’s texture, firmness, smoothness, and even pigmentation.
