The pH of cucumber extract is the same as that of human skin.  It also contains almost 90% water, which is why it is naturally cooling and hydrating.  The antioxidants caffeic acid and vitamin C are also contained in cucumber extract and help calm irritated skin and reduce swelling.

Cucumber also contains a number of minerals that are beneficial such as magnesium, potassium and silica. Silica helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines by aiding in the tightening of collagen.  Cucumber’s nourishing, astringent and hydrating properties aid in the positive skin and health-promoting benefits it provides to the skin and body.

Cucumber extract is one of the many skin and health enhancing nutrients found in Purely Clear Intensive Repair and Wrinkle Serum.
