Why These Ingredients Are Used
Ground Rolled Oats
Oats are a gentle source of fiber and minerals, traditionally recognized for their soothing properties. When ingested, they contribute to a healthy gut, which can indirectly support overall skin vitality.
Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support skin hydration and a smoother-looking appearance. They also contain lignans and fiber, contributing to digestive health.
Pumpkin Seeds
These nutritious seeds are packed with zinc, magnesium, and antioxidants. Zinc is particularly important for skin health, supporting its appearance and helping to maintain a clear-looking complexion.
Fennel Seeds
Fennel seeds are often used for their digestive benefits and contain antioxidants. A healthy digestive system is often linked to a clearer, more radiant-looking skin appearance.
