Skin is a barrier that serves as one of the body’s first lines of defense against harmful microorganisms. The synergy of several immunity-boosting factors acts as protection for the skin and body. Specialized immune cells within skin tissue are one type of defense, they help fight against invading organisms. Skin is also a host to a diverse group of beneficial bacteria collectively known as skin microbiota. These microbes naturally colonize the skin and are referred to as commensals (normal microflora).
Thymus vulgaris, commonly known as thyme, is a superb plant that enhances skin immunity by improving cells of the immune system and beneficial microflora. Throughout history, thyme has been used for medicinal purposes, having antibacterial, antifungal, anti-infectious and anti-oxidative qualities. Thyme is rich with polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, thymol, carvacrol, p-cymene, and terpinene.
During the cold, windy winter weather, skin withstands a great deal of assault. Skin tends to feel drier, sensitive and dull without proper and season appropriate care. Hippophae Hydration Balm is an ideal skin immunity-boosting companion to combat the winter skin blues. It is abundant with thyme along with a handful of extra-potent botanical extracts. The combination of hippophae berries, emu oil, rose, shea butter, cinnamon, peppermint, lemon and lavender work together to repair, nourish, moisturize and enhance skin appearance in the face of even the toughest winter weather.
