Calming

Calm skin is essential to healthy skin. Irritated, reactive skin causes long term dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Founder's Formula calming products are proven to interrupt the inflammatory cascade.

Keeping skin free of debris through gentle exfoliation not only improves radiance and skin health but also improves the absorption of other products.

Suitable also for helping to manage rosacea.

Micro-inflammation is a major cause of abnormal pigmentation and early cell death. The correct botanicals stop the chronic inflammation, allowing for calm, non-reactive skin once again.

RESULTS YOU WILL SEE
Skin is calm, even- toned, and without redness. Skin barrier defense is restored.

1. Cleanse with Aniseed Myrtle BHA Refining Cleansing Oil to settle inflamed blood capillaries.

2. Exfoliate with Ultra Gentle Australian Clay Exfoliating Cleanser, a non-active exfoliating cleanser with soothing allantoin and B3 that calms while gently lifting dead cells and debris.

3. Morning and evening apply CALM Mountain Pepper Berry Serum to prevent an inflammatory response initially or to stop it escalating.

4. Nourish, seal and protect with Wild Rosella Every Day Hydrating Moisturiser.

Our Approach to Formulation

Founder's Formula products have no fragrances which are potential irritants. Our serums are created with calming aloe vera, Pepper Berry, Manuka Honey, Vitamin B3 and other anti-inflammatory and phyto-active calming peptides. Exfoliation is achieved through gentle action. Strong acids (such as AHAs), that risk an inflammatory response, are not used.

So when you are ready, here are some extra products you might also like to add to your routine:

Australian Botanicals Nourishing Facial Oils designed to enrich, nourish and soothe fatigued skin.

Purslane and Commelina Gentle Balancing Toner to promote cell renewal and repair DNA. Use also as a hydrating mister on clean skin or over make up any time of day.

If your skin is acneic use Centipeda and Manuka Honey B+ Refining Toner to calm, soothe, balance sebum and stimulate ceramide production. 

Use Phyto-A+ Australian Native Tobacco Serum as your night-time serum to increase cell turnover and build collagen at four times the rate of retinol. This plant-derived peptide is a great, non-irritating alternative if you cannot tolerate retinol or retinoids.
