PLANT BASED INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE YOUR SKIN GLOW

EVERY INGREDIENT WE USE IS SUSTAINABLY SOURCED AND FORMULATED TO SUPPORT SKIN HEALTH.

Our formulas are thoughtfully crafted with nurturing botanicals, high-performance actives, and innovative, skin-friendly tanning technologies. From antioxidant-rich superfood extracts and hydrating humectant blends to fermented bio-actives and naturally-derived emollients, every component is carefully chosen to provide multi-tasking care for your skin alongside a natural, even glow. You won't find any harsh chemicals, artificial dyes, or environmentally-damaging ingredients in our vegan, cruelty-free products. We're dedicated to developing conscientious formulas that allow you to achieve glowing, healthy-looking results while prioritising your skin's needs and the planet's well-being.

Our featured ingredients:

Plant-based DHA

Seamlessly adapts to every skin tone upon application, delivering a natural glow for all complexions

Natural cacao extract

Rich in omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin C, and magnesium, promotes cell regeneration, nourishes, and hydrates the skin, enhancing its softness and elasticity

Hyaluronic Acid

Different weights of hyaluronic acid deeply penetrate multiple layers of the skin, ensuring optimal absorption and hydration. The hyaluronic acid spheres fill in wrinkles and fine lines, plumping the skin and promoting a youthful-looking appearance

Algaktiv ZEN

Helps shield the skin from premature ageing caused by stress, promoting skin radiance while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Squalane

Acts as an antioxidant, shielding the skin from free radical damage, while also hydrating and boosting collagen for firmer, healthier-looking skin

Fermented mushrooms

Natural anti-inflammatory properties that support the skin's barrier, reducing skin sensitivity

Our Ingredient Philosophy

At Self Glow, we're committed to using beneficial, ethically-sourced ingredients while avoiding any harsh or potentially harmful components.
