Vitality Hydrating Essence is an organic, lightweight, refreshing mist that boosts hydration and softens the skin. The blend of vitamin B5 and glycerine supports a healthy barrier and leaves the complexion supple and dewy.
 
Vitality is The Noble Apothecary's first true hydration product, created in line with our philosophy to give your skin everything it needs and nothing it doesn't. Whilst most brands create creams because that's what we've come to expect from 'moisturiser', our founder has gone to the root of what skin needs and created a simple, elegant formulation that is hydration in its purest form. No heavy, waxy emulsifiers: just pure, skin-quenching nourishment. The result is calm, soft and dewy skin. Add a slick of Clarity Lightweight Day Oil over the top and you'll have the velvety-soft skin and hydrated complexion that we've all been chasing.
 
The ingredients
 
Organic rosa damascena water: Distilled from the petals of the organic Damask rose, rosa damascena water is deeply hydrating and soothing, making it suitable for all skin types. It helps to balance skin pH and is anti-inflammatory, making it particularly beneficial for sensitive and easily irritated skin. The delicate, natural scent of Damask rose is incredibly relaxing, known to help ease stress, anxiety and support a calm mood. 
 
Vitamin B5: B5 (or panthenol as it's often known) is one of the most important hydration ingredients. Not only does it lock moisture into the skin, but it enhances the skin's natural lipid barrier, which prevents transepidermal moisture loss (TEWL). If your skin feels dry, tight or easily irritated, TEWL is likely to be a factor and B5 is the perfect remedy.
 
Organic glycerine: Organic, vegetable-derived glycerine is one of our founders all-time favourite ingredients. It is deeply hydrating, plumping and calming, and the most gentle of the humectant (moisture-attracting ingredients). Whilst ingredients like hyaluronic acid can disrupt sensitive skin, glycerine is gentle and soothing, and balanced beautifully to deliver a lightweight, smooth feel on the skin.
 
A note on preservation: Vitality contains an eco-friendly, broad spectrum, antimicrobial preservative which keeps our natural formulas free from the risk of microbial growth. Whilst the use of preservatives is often a source of debate in a the natural, toxin-free community, preservatives are essential ingredients for all water-based products under UK and EU legislation to ensure the safety and efficacy of the formula, and to prevent the risk of breakouts, rashes, skin infections and disruption to the skin's delicate microbiome. The Noble Apothecary's products have all undergone Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment (CPSR) testing and Vitality was subject to mandatory Preservative Efficacy Testing (PET).
