Illuminating Face Treatment with Kinetin

Best if you want to: Brighten your complexion and minimize the appearance of fine lines with a kinetin moisturizing cream containing super-fine, light-diffusing particles.

How it works:

Community Trade aloe vera soothes, calms and hydrates skin.
Kinetin is clinically proven to even out skin tone, smooth rough skin and increase moisture retention.
Community Trade shea butter moisturizes and softens skin while green tea extract and vitamin E provide antioxidant protection.

The Body Shop® difference: Antioxidant kinetin helps to protect skin against harmful environmental elements, such as the sun, smoke and pollution, which can cause free radicals. Originally discovered in green leaves, kinetin is a growth hormone that helps to slow the plant’s aging process and has the same revitalizing effect on skin, helping to improve its texture and tone. It is most effective when used in leave–on product formulations, such as our kinetin moisturizing cream, which is why we use a patented combination of plant–derived kinetin and a stabilized laboratory kinetin for added, longer lasting benefit.
