What Is Inside The Bielenda Manuka Honey Nutri Elixir Nourishing & Moisturising Serum?

The elixir provides humectant, emollient and antioxidant care for dehydrated and dry skin types without overloading the skin of oiliness or greasiness. It optimally moisturises and refreshes to promote softness and smoothness while also giving the complexion a natural subtle glow. Elixirs typically are a skincare product that contain a variety of oils, where as serums contain water-based active ingredients which are usually much lighter for and on the skin. The full ingredients are listed below:

AQUA (WATER) - Solvent for ingredients to be mixed in. 

 

GLYCERIN - Humectant that provides hydration for the skin while also soothing irritation and helping support the skins barrier function, ideal for dry skin!

VEGETABLE OIL - Emollient to improve softness and smoothness of the skin. 

HONEY - Moisturising, soothing, antioxidant and antibacterial because of the proteins, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and minerals it contains. 

SALVIA HISPANICA SEED OIL - Chia seed oil provides antioxidant, emollient, moisturising and humectant properties while also helping to support the skins barrier function, ideal for dry skin!

PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL - Recommended for dry skin, it can penetrate the many layers easily to aid in nourishment and to help restore skin to become smooth and soft with its content of minerals and vitamins A, E and D.

 

PANTHENOL - Pro-Vitamin B-5 provides moisture to the skin by acting as a humectant that draws water to the skin but also keeps it there. It also has anti-inflammatory and skin protecting qualities by helping to reduce irritations.  

TOCOPHERYL ACETATE - Antioxidant, though this is the esterified version of the pure form so might not have the protective properties Vitamin E can provide.

CAPRYLIC/CAPR IC TRIGLYCERIDE - Emollient from coconut and glycerin that helps the skin becomes smooth and soft. 

ROYAL JELLY - Water-binding with its proteins, sugars, and tiny amounts of fats and trace amounts of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. 

ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER - Acts as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser for gel formulas that contain an oil phase. 

SODIUM CHLORIDE - Emulsion stabiliser for water-in-oil formulas, its salt. 

 

TOCOPHEROL - Antioxidant Vitamin E that helps fight free radicals that can damage while also offering photoprotection properties, though still wear a sunscreen! 

BETA-SITOSTEROL - Emulsion stabiliser that stops oil and water from separating in any formula.

SQUALENE - Skin identical ingredient that has natural moisturising factors, it provides emollience with some antioxidant benefits. 

ASCORBYL PALMITATE - A oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that acts as an antioxidant, though its not the pure form so maximum results will not be the same as ascorbic acid.

POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE - Sets the pH of a formula. 

ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN - Emollient preservative that boosts the effectiveness of the other preservative PHENOXYETHANOL. 

DIETHYLHEXYL SYRINGYLIDENE MALONATE - Helps stabilise the colour of a product while also stabilising sunscreen agents. 

BETA-CAROTENE - Antioxidant that helps fight free radicals that can damage skin. 

 

PHENOXYETHANOL - Preservative that is usually in the same formula, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN-boosts its effectiveness. 

DMDM HYDANTOIN - Preservative that helps prevent and slow-down spoilage of a product. 

METHYLPARABEN - Preservative to prolong the formula. 

 

PARFUM (FRAGRANCE) - Helps the product smell nice. 

BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL - Common fragrance ingredient that provides a floral scent.

COUMARIN - Common fragrance ingredient that provides a vanilla and nutty scent. 

How To Use The Bielenda Manuka Honey Nutri Elixir Nourishing & Moisturising Serum?

Presented in a sealed glass bottle, you can dispense your own amount from the pump dispenser onto freshly cleansed skin. The serum is yellow in colour and quite runny in texture but effortlessly glides over the skin while those fragrance notes slightly remind you of honey before the scent disappears. I really like how the serum quickly absorbs to leave skin feeling hydrated with no oiliness or greasiness left over and it can be slotted into any skincare routine if you wish. Applying after any water based serum u currently own to boost nourishing and moisturising benefits throughout the day, you can also apply after any active treatment at night to compliment your skin while you sleep. It is also a nice introduction to face oils if you want to work them into your routine but also solves the solution if you don't get along with how oils can make your skin feel heavy or greasy, the Bielenda Manuka Honey Nutri Elixir Nourishing & Moisturising Serum is very lightweight you wont even feel them.
