Tazman Berry Calming and Soothing Serum

Product Description

Tazman (Pepper) Berry is an extract from the Tasmanian Pepper, a black-ish purple berry that grows in the mountains of Australia. It is a very enduring species that tolerates cold winds and thrives on rocks and in harsh elements.  It also has anti-allergenic properties which are really helpful, especially in this spring weather where allergies are their highest.

Tazman Berry Pepper contains Polygodial, a powerful active anti-inflammatory ingredient that reduces vasodilation and oedema to soothe the skin. It also has anti-allergenic and antimicrobial properties. This berry also contains Anthocyanins, which make it have a high antioxidant level (3x greater than blueberries with TEAC) to protect against free radicals. Anthocyanins are free radical scavengers that protect cells from oxidative damages. It also contains rutin, an anti-inflammatory known to strengthen capillaries. It can also have a great impact on the appearance of dark circles. In vivo study results show that Tazman Pepper instantly reduces skin redness induced by UV radiation (after single application of a cream containing 2% Tazman Pepper)

Method of Application

Apply a few drops of this serum on your clean finger tips, and smooth it across clean skin. Use during the water soluble phase of your skin routine (after you cleanse, tone, and exfoliate, but before you apply any oils or creams)

The presence of inflammatory mediators in the epidermis plays a critical role in the development of reactive skin. In vitro experiments were done to demonstrate the efficacy of Tazman Pepper™ to reduce cutaneous inflammation. Tazman Pepper™ inhibits the release of IL-8 induced by IL-1α

Tazman Pepper™ dims the inflammatory cascade for optimal calming effect.
