Over the past year and a half, many of us have had the time to take a break from makeup and focus on creating an actual skincare routine.
If you're looking for a skincare brand that will help elevate your skincare routine with all-natural beauty products, let us introduce you to Antipodes, a scientific green beauty company based in New Zealand.
Antipodes uses pollution-free, results-driven native New Zealand ingredients in its plant-powered vegan beauty and organic skincare range.
Antipodes CEO Elizabeth Barbalich told Yahoo Lifestyle that Antipodes "creates 100 per cent natural skincare that doubles as self-care. Clean, all-natural beauty products that provide a respite from the stressors of the world by soothing, hydrating, calming, and clearing stressed skin."
Barbalich had always used probiotics for her gut health but she realised that her skin could benefit from them too.
Antipodes also use plant-based hyaluronic acid with probiotics. Barbalich calls those two ingredients together "a matched made in beauty heaven."
"I love these natural ingredients because of what they can do for skin – intensively boosting water levels and helping to lock moisture deep within skin. What’s more, probiotics also stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in cells, adding water to thirsty skin and increasing elasticity," she explained.
