Key Active Ingredients
Moringa Seed Oil
Starflower Seed Oil
Sea Buckthorn Extract
Organic Rosehip Oil
Co-enzyme Q10
Vitamin E
My Moisture Boost Face Serum contains high performance natural ingredients such as Moringa, Starflower and Co-enzyme Q10 to help plump and nourish your skin.
Moringa Seed Oil has remarkable properties because of its high monounsaturated oleic acid content, therefore very moisturising for dry and mature skin, yet does not feel oily. It protects the skin and is a very good anti-oxidant.
DIRECTIONS
Shake bottle well before you use the Face Serum. You will need about 2 to 3 drops per application for your face and probably a drop or two more for the neck area. Use gentle outward and upward movements. If you are using this Facial Serum in the mornings, leave it on for 15 minutes and blot off the residue before you apply your make-up.
You can use this Face Serum as a standalone product or you can use a moisturiser first, let the moisturiser absorb and follow with face oil/serum which forms an occlusive layer on your skin to avoid water-loss (trapping the moisture).
INGREDIENT PROFILES
- MORINGA SEED OIL
is extracted by pressing the seeds of Moringa oleifera tree, also called the Drumstick tree. This tree is native to the Himalayan foothills of northern India and cultivated throughout the tropics. Moringa Olifeira grows long pods which contain the precious seeds and once matured are processed into 'Ben Oil' or 'Behen Oil'. The name derives from a very high content in behenic acid which helps the oil resist rancidity for a long period of time and is highly valued in perfumery for being able to capture and hold the most delicate scents.
In skin care it has remarkable properties because of its high monounsaturated oleic acid content, therefore very moisturising for dry and mature skin, yet does not feel oily. It protects the skin and is a very good anti-oxidant.
In Egypt it was used to make medicinal ointments and salves and to protect the skin from the desert environment. A daily skin treatment for wrinkles and sun damage combined gum of frankincense and ground Cyprus grass mixed with fermented plant juice. A venerated oil, vases of moringa oil were found inside ancient tombs. - SEA BUCKTHORN
has been traditionally used for a wide range of skin ailments and is revered for its nourishing, regenerative, and restorative actions. The pulp of the berries is a powerhouse, containing lots of vitamins (E, C, B1, B2, K), minerals, essential fatty acids and phytosterol. It as an exceptionally nourishing oil for dry skin and has the ability to promote the regeneration of skin cells. - STARFLOWER OIL
helps your skin to retain moisture, aids faster cell regeneration and softens your skin beautifully. The high levels of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) will help restore the barrier function of your skin and act as an anti-inflammatory that can soothe dry skin and itchiness. It also helps to fight the loss of skin elasticity and firm the skin. - I use pure ORGANIC ROSEHIP SEED OIL, which is a wonderful hydrator and penetrates the skin immediately without leaving a greasy residue since it is considered a “dry” oil. Rosehip Seed Oil contains Vitamin E and C which has nearly equal percentages of Alpha-Linolenic and Linoleic Acids, a good source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, trans-retinoic acid (precursor of Vitamin A) and therefore promotes collagen formation and increases elastin.
- In most people over forty CO-ENZYME Q10 levels start to sink, resulting in a lesser ability to produce collagen and other important skin molecules. Co-enzyme Q10 has exceptional antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that topical application can effectively counteract free radical damage and provide protection against UVA-induced depletion of cell membrane. This function helps to prevent damage to collagen and elastin production process and help to reduce the signs of ageing and appearance of wrinkles.
BENEFITS OF FACIAL OILS
- My plant based Face Oils work on every skin type as they nourish, re-balance skin and restore a naturally healthy complexion. Whether you have oily, combination or dry skin, by regularly applying a Face Oil, your skin will re-balance to reveal calm, clear and healthy looking complexion. A perfect base for make-up.
- Face Oils glide onto the skin and encourage facial massage. Massaging your face has plenty of benefits – it relaxes and tones the muscles which helps to sculpt facial contours, removes stress and tension in the face, boosts blood flow and awakens the senses. By massaging the oil into your skin you are also pushing the skin-boosting ingredients deeper into the epidermis.
- Face Oils give skin a gorgeously plump and dewy glow – the type that is always seen on the runways and red carpets but is so hard to replicate. Simply massage a Face Oil into your skin every evening before bed and in the mornings to achieve a radiant and healthy glow.
-
If you’re scared of using a Face Oil, you can gently ease yourself into using one by simply adding a couple of drops to your night cream and day cream to give your skin an extra surge of nourishment but without committing to applying the oil directly to your skin. Even by adding a couple of drops to your day and night cream is enough to notice the benefits to your skin.
- My Face Oils contain only high quality specialist oils that support your skins' needs - I do not use any inexpensive base ingredients to bulk out the product.
My Tip: in general, the first 2 to 3 ingredients on a skin care product label are the main ingredients and have to be listed in highest to lowest amount used. For instance if you read sunflower oil, palm oil, fractionated coconut oil or even sweet almond oil as part of the first 2 to 3 ingredients, this would make the inexpensive and inferior bulk of a face oil.

Best face care product I have ever used! 30 November 2021 | Zara
I love this serum so much! It’s by far my favourite skin care product I have ever used on my skin. I have suffered with a few skin care complaints over the last 2 years with dryness being 1 of them. After reading about the different ingredients in this serum I decided to give it a try and wow!!! As with all of the Gerlinde products I have used I was definitely not disappointed, it smells amazing and feels so soothing on my skin. After using this for maybe about 2-3 weeks I started to really notice a difference in the look and also the feel of my skin, it feels much more soothed and moisturised but also looks clear and glowy which I haven’t had for a while!!! I’m
On to my second 30ml bottle now and will continue to use this in the future. Once again thank you Gerlinde for producing such a beautiful skin care range and for also being a lovely person 😊 I can’t recommend enough!

This is the product of my dreams! I have very sensitive skin and it has started to get dry. This product is extremely moisturizing but does not cause break outs. It not only provides moisture but helps diminish the appearance of fine lines. I highly recommend this wonderful product!

I live in Southern California and we’ve had an extra dry season. I use 3-drops every morning and find that it provides a long lasting moisturized/glow all day. I apply my tinted moisturizer on after which I think helps the application to be smooth and even. Highly recommend

so moisturizing, soothing, and natural! 30 October 2019 | Ale
Thank you for making beautiful products! They're clearly non toxic as my skin is loving them! I have always struggled to find clean natural products that will moisturize my skin without irritating it. My type of skin is very fair and dry, and I am in my early 30's. I love all of your products and my skin is looking very healthy and moisturized thanks to them! I can't thank you enough! and the fact that they're vegan is everything I was looking for! Thank you again!! you have a great company!! MOISTURE BOOST SERUM WITH COENZYME Q10 is one of my fav products!

I am an great believer in oils for the face and body. This one is just the best. It makes my face feel moisturized and wonderful. On top of how great it works the smell is fantastic. If you need moisture and like Coenzyme Q10 this is the oil for you.

Found this by accident but so glad I did. The product arrived quickly and perfectly packaged. It was nearly too pretty to open . The little touches that gerlinde puts to her products made me feel like I had just received a gift rather than bought it myself . The cream itself is lovely . Ppl have commented on my skins difference lately. I use at night and a little drop goes a long way . I would def recommend this. 10 out of 10
