The philosophy at Santaverde isn’t that complicated. In short: if you want a good product then use good ingredients. That's why you'll be sure to find pure vegetable juices and oils, soft hydrolates and precious plant extracts - but not a drop of water - all proudly listed on their ingredients lists. It also explains why you WON'T find synthetic chemical fragrances, colour and preservatives, mineral oils, parabens, silicones, PEG, genetically-altered modified plants or other synthetic additives on the back of those bottles. After all - who'd want those when you can get all the same skin benefits (and a whole heap more) from raw materials that come from controlled biological cultivation and a certified wild collection? We sure know which we'd choose! Most cosmetics have a scary amount of water in their formulation that for one leaves you wondering what you’re paying for and for another doesn’t benefit your skin at all in being there. Thankfully the Santaverde team agree and use Aloe Vera juice instead. Here’s a whole host of reasons why that’s a good thing for your skin:

• Aloe Vera increase’s the availability of oxygen to the skin and thereby aids synthesis and strength of the skin tissues. • It stimulates healthy cell growth and repairs damaged tissues. • Aloe Vera is a natural barrier and shields our skin from those terrifying toxins. • It has the highest concentrations of healing agent. • It’s Anti-bacterial. • Aloe Vera helps cell turnover and thus speeds up the natural dead skin removal process. • It helps prevents that dreaded skin ageing. • It’s full of vitamins E and C. • It helps to lighten age spots and pigmentation. • It soothes itching skin.

So, all things considered, we think Santaverde have got a good thing going on!
