Sabdariffa Flower (Hibiscus) Extract

If you want firmer, smoother skin, the industry usually points you toward two things: Needles (Botox) or Chemical Peels (Glycolic Acid).

Both work, but both come with risks, downtime, irritation, and the "frozen" look.

But what if your skin could exfoliate and firm itself using biology, not force?

Enter Hibiscus Sabdariffa. It’s not just a pretty flower; it is scientifically known as "Nature's Botox." We infused it into our Glow Prep Toner to turn a boring step into a powerhouse anti-aging treatment.

The Science: How It Stops the Sag

Why does skin sag? It loses Elastin—the protein that gives your skin its "snap" or bounce. As we age, an enzyme called elastase wakes up and starts chewing through your elastin.

This is where Hibiscus works its magic.

1. The "Anti-Elastase" Effect Studies show that Hibiscus extract actively inhibits elastase. It tells the enzyme to stop eating your elastin. By preserving your skin’s natural elasticity, it keeps your face looking lifted and firm—hence the nickname "Nature's Botox."

2. Natural AHAs (The Gentle Peel) Hibiscus is also a natural source of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), specifically Pyruvic Acid.

• Synthetic Acids: Burn off dead skin cells, often causing redness.

• Hibiscus AHAs: Gently dissolve the "glue" holding dead cells together. This reveals fresh, baby-soft skin underneath without disturbing your delicate acid mantle.

Why We Put It in the Toner (Step 2)

Most toners are just expensive water. We wanted Glow Prep to be a "Liquid Treatment."

By putting Hibiscus in Step 2, we ensure two things:

1. Prep: The natural AHAs clear the path, removing dead skin cells so your Glow Getter Serum (Step 3) can penetrate deeper.

2. Firm: You get a daily dose of elastin-protection every morning and night.

It’s not just balancing your pH; it’s actively fighting gravity.

The "Red" Shield

Finally, Hibiscus is packed with Anthocyanins—the pigment that makes the flower red. These are potent antioxidants that fight UV damage and pollution.

When you mist on Glow Prep, you are laying down an invisible antioxidant shield that protects your cells from "rusting" (oxidizing) throughout the day.

Upgrade Your "Water" Step

Don't settle for a toner that does nothing. Demand functional ingredients.
