As you know, Serenitree is a skincare business that focuses on natural concepts. Therefore, the aspects from the materials to the packaging are also environmentally friendly! But, what is meant by natural composition? For those who want details, let’s just get acquainted with the term Extract Botanical or known as extracts of natural ingredients.

Plant Based, Botanical Extract Ingredients

A big fan of natural skincare must be familiar with the name botanical extract. From the name alone it is clear, botany means plants. The conclusion is that botanical extract is a composition derived from natural sources, especially plants such as plants, fruits and flowers. In addition, vegetables and grains also fall into this category. 100% natural!

Even hundreds and thousands of years ago, before technology and research developed this far, our ancestors used botanical extracts as ingredients in traditional medicines and beauty products. As time goes by and the number of studies that have been successfully carried out, we can find out whether it is good or not even to the direct positive effect.

Then, is this botanical extract very influential? Why did this material become the main star of Serenitree? Let’s see together!

The Reason for Botanical Extract Being the Chosen One

Of course the reason is none other than because this composition is rich in various benefits. Same as chemical composition, this botanical extract provides many reasons for us to get addicted! Like this example:

• Has concentrated therapeutic properties

This property is effective in providing a “calm” and “relaxation” effect for its users. This is what causes Serenitree to choose botanical extracts for “fragrance” or “aroma” for each of our skincare products.

• As “Active Ingredients”

For those who do not know this term, active ingredients have a function to overcome skin problems that are the main target of the specific skincare products. In research, this ingredient has been proven to be effective in eliminating a problem on the skin. So we don’t need to doubt anymore the efficacy of this botanical extract!

• Various benefits in small doses

Have you ever heard the term “just a small amount can cause a big change”? This idiom is very similar to the benefits of botanical extracts. Concentrated, this ingredient has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial effects and is rich in antioxidants even in small doses. In a snap of your fingers, say goodbye to skin problems!

These is not all the positive benefits that you can feel with botanical extracts, there are still plenty more! No wonder why Serenitree chose this material, right? Plus, according to research data, it has been proven that the addition of botanical extracts significantly improves skin care performance. This is the main reason why this material was chosen!

However, what is the example of botanical extract? Serenitree will give you a sneak-peak of what materials we use!

Serenitree Botanical Extract Composition

We don’t just recklessly select ingredients to use! The selection of botanical extracts must match the skin problem that needs to be eradicated. Well, here are some examples:

• Licorice Root Extract

Dull skin? Want to get rid of skin hyperpigmentation? Don’t worry, this extract functions as an antioxidant that can give a “calming” effect on the skin and help your skin become more “glow” up!

• Calendula Extract

Have stubborn sensitive skin? Calendula extract can be your solution! This extract can stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells and give the skin a “relaxing” effect.

• Green Tea Extract

Hey, who’s in their 30s? Surely skincare fans at this age are flocking to search for the perfect “anti-aging” skincare. This Green Tea Extract is very suitable for reducing signs of aging and helping premature aging problems on the skin because of its high antioxidant content!

• Pomegranate Extract

This extract is no less great! Besides being able to brighten dull skin and eradicate dry skin problems, this extract can protect the skin from premature aging problems as well. Say goodbye to dry, dull and hyperpigmented skin!

Wow, these are just a few spoilers from Serenitree’s products. They sound so enticing right? Are you also curious, how come natural ingredients can have such a powerful effect? Let’s take a peek at the performance behind it!

Behind the Benefits of Botanical Extract

Even the most sophisticated man-made products will be overpowered by the gift of nature. Are you curious about how plants can produce botanical extracts that can produce many benefits? Here are some explanations:

• Contains synergistic components

If we examine biologically, each part of the plant has a function for its survival. The collaboration between these compounds then forms an energy so that the level of skincare effectiveness increases. 100% increase in your skincare to eliminate your skin problems!

• Contains high levels of chemical components, Phenol

Nature can also produce chemical components. There are several types of plants that must be immune when exposed to UV rays of the sun. As a system of natural mechanisms to survive and thrive, plants produce chemical components called phenols. If this component is found in the extract in skincare, it will have the same effect on the skin by fighting free radicals and oxidative stress. Very cool isn’t it? Plus, Phenol is also rich in antioxidants!

How cool is that? All products from Serenitree contain this botanical extract, because Serenitree believes ingredients derived from nature will be well received by our bodies and not to forget, they can also be decomposed properly.

Skincare must be effective in dealing with skin problems, but also must be safe for users and the environment. Together, we have to work hand in hand to preserve nature! Remember, beauty also comes from your mind and soul!

Back to the Culture and Stigma of the Past

If we trace, the origin of the “obsession” with bright skin, especially in Asia, comes from social status. How come? Yes, since the time of our ancestors, people with fair or pale skin have been considered to have high social status. The reason is because those with fair skin do not need to bother and work in the fields. Meanwhile, people with tan or dark skin often work outside.

To the extent that some Asian countries such as China and Japan have words similar to this: “White/bright skin can hide our flaws”. Such thinking is ingrained from generation to generation and even today most Asian people think that white / bright skin means beautiful.

In Indonesia it is not much different. It’s not uncommon to hear the words beautiful and pale skin in the same context. If so, what do you think? Do you agree with this thought?

Bright skin don’t equal fair skin

Despite the stigma and thoughts we’ve discussed, Serenitree still believes that all skin tones are equally beautiful. From dark skin, tan, to fair skin, there is no difference!

Don’t you know? Bright doesn’t mean our skin has to be white like porcelain! Whatever the color of your skin, if you treat it with safe products along with a healthy lifestyle, it will immediately brighten or glow. All dull skin can also be bright!

So you don’t need to be discouraged and justify any means to achieve fair skin. Love your skin and take care of it to be healthy and youthful! It’s easy, there are also various skincare that can help the skin to be more glowing or we call it the brightening effect. But there is also a mention of the lightening effect. What’s the difference between the two?

Difference between Brightening and Lightening

Maybe for the layman at first glance these two terms are not much different. The point is both make the skin bright, right? Wrong!

Brightening means to increase the radiance or brightness of the skin. It’s like dull skin turning into glowing skin, that’s the brightening effect. This effect does not change the amount of pigment in our skin.

On the other hand, lightening aims to change skin color to make it whiter/pale by reducing melanin in our skin. One of the processes is by inhibiting the production of melanin. Actually, if we use lightening products according to the doctor’s instructions or in moderation, it doesn’t matter. But don’t buy products or skin whitening treatments carelessly, because they can have negative effects, such as allergies!

For this article, we will focus on discussing the brightening effect of skincare. Let’s take a closer look at what compositions are allowed and not recommended for us to use in skincare brightening!

Skincare Brightening Composition

In general, there are several elements that are good for the skin and are always used for a brightening effect in skincare. Here are some examples:

• Vitamin C
• Niacinamide
• Kojic and Azelaic Acids
• Retinoids

Now this element has a brightening effect and can be a solution to skin problems such as helping with hyperpigmentation. The face can also look more youthful and glowing! However, you need to remember that these ingredients will work over time and can’t be instant!

After discussing the elements that we can use, should we also mention what we need to avoid?

• Hydroquinone
• Topical Corticosteroids
• Mercury

Some of these compositions can also brighten up your skin and work faster than the previous ingredients. BUT it’s important for you to know that we don’t recommend this composition because it can have unwanted effects! So, before buying a skincare product, please look at the composition and research so you don’t regret it in the future.

Duration For Maximum Results

Have you ever heard the saying that goes, “good things take time.”? This sentence is true for many aspects of life. We can also apply it in the world of skincare.

Rarely or even almost no product that can provide instant results. This applies to both natural and non-natural skincare. Safe products will definitely give regular results.

This is different from skincare that uses “toxic” or harmful ingredients for the skin. Most products that claim to provide instant effects or results are not recommended. Why? Most likely with such a quick claim the product has excessive or unsafe chemicals.

For the Serenitree product itself, it can give results within 8-12 weeks. With a note that you have to use it regularly and don’t forget to use sunscreen! Remember, the skincare products you use will be wasted if you don’t combine them with sunscreen!
