More information:
Our skin is our largest sensory organ and is deeply connected with our neurological system. As such it is affected by daily stresses that we have little control over such as polluted environment, changing weather conditions, dirt & dust and by our lifestyles over which we can have some control such as diet, working environment, central heating, fatigue and sleep patterns. When you add emotional stress to all of these factors our skin has an awful lot to contend with. Its no wonder that people feel a need to use some of natures goodness to help revitalise their skin.
Cortisol is a glucocorticoid (steroid hormone) and is produced from cholesterol in the two adrenal glands located on top of each kidney. Our bodies have a normal cortisol circadian rhythm that is vital for both the physical and psychological repair of our bodies. Cortisol is normally released in response to stress whether physical or emotional. When daily stresses disrupt our normal cortisol circadian rhythm we suffer the after effects which can age the skin and can cause a reduction in the levels of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin. This can lead to problems such as dry and dull skin, increased scarring and delay in repairs, thinning of the skin and barrier disruptions of the skin.
Tests have shown that Microalgae binds to the glucocorticoid receptor to prevent stress induced damage thus restoring the balance of the skin. Tests on people showed that in just 15 days, wrinkle depth had been reduced by 15% and skin scaliness and dryness reduced by 13%. Skin radiance was improved by 10%. It restores the skins natural circadian rhythm which improves its healing ability. It protects from modern societies top two skin lifestyle stressors of fatigue and inner stress and can create a relaxed skin appearance.

I've been using this serum now for a few years. I have never had the same feeling of feeding my skin from any other serum I have tried. Also the fragrance is not only gorgeous and natural it has a great affect on my wellbeing when I cup my hands and inhale it prior to application.
I purchased a bottle of this amazing product at a recent event I attended. After one use I could see the difference, my skin had this beautiful natural glow and the serum literally melted into my skin it felt and looked so smooth. I cannot believe how good this serum is. It's also a perfect make up base, my BB cream went on like a dream! Oh and another positive, I was told my skin looked amazing on a teams call in work at 45 what a compliment 😊. Seriously, I think this serum could easily give some of the higher priced skincare products a run for their money and win. I'm looking forward to seeing the long term results if the short term results are anything to go by. Give this serum a try it really is worth it. Thank you Rebecca your knowledge and passion is wonderful ❤️
Roots vegan skin care has changed my life. My skin is smooth, blemish and spot free. I have had so many compliments on how lovely my skin looks I would highly recommend these products could not be without them.
Also Rebecca was so helpful her consultation on my skin was perfect. She really does know what she is talking about when it comes to skincare. Thank you rebecca!
I love this serum it's my favourite go to night time pamper treat. It smells of geraniums, feels fantastic on my skin and really does make me feel pampered. Give it a go!
Lovely product, lovely smell and really nourishes my skin. I use 3 times a week under my night time moisturiser and I can honestly say my skin is loving it.

This is a proper peel off mask, it's not for the faint hearted, it does exactly what it's supposed to do once you get the hang of it, just leave the edges thick so you can peel off in one go, my skin feels great!

I was gifted this with the Halcyon fragrance at Christmas, I usually don't scent my home with anything due to allergies but I can safely say this gently scents my home and I haven't had any reactions so I am quite impressed, will be trying the other scents.

Been using this for some time now - nothing else comes close

This moisturiser glides on one’s face very easily indeed. The aroma from it is heavenly. It’s easy to apply with a comtrollable pump.

I am enjoying this facial cleanser. It has a pump applicator which gives one control over the amount of cleanser which one wants to use, it glides onto a wet face very easily. I think it will last me quite a long time. It leaves my face feeling refreshed without a stripped feeling. Would definitely recommend it purchase and use,

This moisturiser is quite thick but glides oh ones face both smoothly and easily, it’s perfume is gorgeous. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks but can already feel and see a difference in my facial skin.

As I have an oily skin my skin can look dull and clogged at times, this product does as it says on the tin (glass jar :) ) it gently removes build up on my skin and leaving me brightened and glowing.

Wash off cleanser’s I have used in the past strip my skin making it even more oily and very sensitive. This product doesn’t! it cleansed my skin gently leaving it balanced. I use it with Alpine elixir, perfect combo!!

I have used this moisturiser for over a year now , Apart from smelling amazing it is very hydrating without feeling heavy on. I’m an oily skin type prone to milia and have had none since using this.

Just when yoh thought ginger was just for your tea. If you need something invigorating then look no further. My customers have used these candles during their meditations and to help them during times of stress too. Absolutely love these

This is an absolute favourite in my home and for my gift boxes. Love that the soaps are free from toxins and last so long.

I use this without the scrub as recommended I let the scrub melt with water before using as I have sensitive skin. Works fabulous and my skin feels super smooth afterwards. I can recommend for sensitive skin.
