Alimental’s Facial Balancers are herbalist-formulated to work with your skin’s natural properties, leaving it pH-balanced, nourished and hydrated.
The skin’s “acid mantle” is essential to maintaining a healthy outer microbiome, preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and other microbes, and forming a protective barrier against disease. Alimental’s Balancers are formulated to pH 5.5, the ideal pH of human skin, using the natural acidity of apple cider vinegar to provide the optimal environment for a healthy skin microbial balance. Apple cider vinegar also contains a prebiotic called pectin, which nourishes and strengthens good skin bacteria.
The vinegar is infused with Equisetum arvense, which is called a vulnerary or wound-healer in herbal medicine. This ancient plant is rich in antioxidants and silica, a component of skin that improves elasticity and collagen formation.
Each Balancer contains select natural carrier oils to moisturize and protect the skin, carrying antioxidants and other phytochemicals that can help to prevent environmental damage, strengthen collagen and reduce oil production and pore size.
Finally, each balancer has a small amount of essential oils, or aromatic plant compounds that have strong antimicrobial, aromatherapeutic and healing properties that penetrate deep into the skin.
