Licorice extract
This root extract works as a skin brightener and it also fights dandruff, reduces hair loss and boosts hair growth.
Avocado oil
Cold-pressed avo oil is a rich source of moisture that keeps your face and scalp hydrated. It is also extremely beneficial in reducing blackheads and acne.
Clove bud oil
Manufactured largely in South Asian countries, this essential oil does wonders for acne-riddled skin and also helps reduce wrinkles and aid sagging jawlines.
Murumuru butter
Here's another Brazilian discovery that's been ruling the organic beauty aisles. It is a natural moisturiser for sensitive skin, restores elasticity in dry hair and perfects skin texture.
Rosehip oil
This miraculous cold-pressed extraction can be the post potent weapon in your fight against ageing skin. It improves your skin's moisture levels to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, helps improve skin tone and reduces pigmentation.
Babassu Oil
Think of this Brazillian nut oil as an upgrade to coconut oil. You can use it as moisturiser (yes, even on oily skin) and also to condition your hair and lips.
Manuka honey
This New Zealand export can up your skincare game. Known for its anti-bacterial properties, this honey is great for treating acne, reducing inflammation and clearing up your complexion.
Seaweed
Ever wondered how seaweed that's mostly seen washed up on beaches found its way into salads and spa rituals? It's because this marine algae has high protein content, makes for a great skin exfoliator, fights pigmentation and helps improve scalp health.
Caffeine
Just like a good cup of java boosts your mood, this multitasking ingredient de-puffs eye bags, boosts hair colour, exfoliates skin and gives you the perfect glow.
Innisfree it's real squeeze mask manuka honey, Rs 100
