Relexa Night Cream was created to restore dry skin and to assist in repairing long-term sun damage. This super smooth face moisturiser shares some of the same ingredients as Relexa Day Cream but with the additional healing factors of double strength Monoatomic Marine Minerals and the double strength Australian micronized Zeolite (ancient volcanic ash). Zeolite is hydrophilic – it loves moisture and draws it towards itself. Great news for dehydrated skin. Monoatomic Minerals may assist in the renewal and regeneration of skin cells.
Relexa Night Cream may be used as an aid to sunburn skin. This luscious nutrient-rich treat for the skin makes an excellent night time face cream, though some people choose to use it throughout the day. The uniquely included 100% organic Frankincense and the expensive and becoming hard-to-get Australian Sandalwood essential oils enhance the skin by aiding in smoothing, firming and softening benefits. Tone can be improved by increasing the balance between oily/dry extremes. Macadamia seed oil has a very small molecular structure – small enough to actually penetrate the skin. Not many skin creams actually sink in! It’s important to get beyond the outside dead epidermal skin layers.
Our Night Cream promotes healing and anti-inflammatory processes whilst revealing beautifully rejuvenated skin.
For best results use together with Relexa Day Cream.

Is Citric Acid safe to use in skin care?
Citric Acid has two uses in skincare that can be confusing to people. The use that gets the most criticism is its use as an exfoliant for the skin. In these preparations, citric acid is in very high quantities, often up to around 20% of the formulation. As an exfoliant, citric acid is quite harsh. We do not use citric acid for this purpose. Citric acid is in only a minute quantity within our formulation and serves a very different purpose.
Most skincare products are either oil products or oil-water emulsions. Relexa is unique in that it is oil + water + mineral salts from the ocean (ORMES). Balancing oil and water is difficult enough, but salt adds another layer of difficulty to achieving a balance. Get the pH wrong and the entire cream can go rancid. The other purpose citric acid can have in skincare is for the balancing of pH, keeping a formulation from being too alkaline. ORMES in its pure state has a high alkalinity. Citric acid is part of what brings about this balance in our products. This natural derivative is used in a very small quantity. Per litre, there is around 0.3g of citric acid. Per 100g jar, then, there would be only 30 milligrams or 0.03%.
Our skincare products are regularly used by people with excema and other dermatological issues who are unable to use anything else. We have testimony after testimony of this. This means that the citric acid is not present in any form that would exacerbate allergic responses. We would agree that in high quantities it would be harmful and deleterious. In the quantity it is (barely) present in our skincare it is there only to help us achieve the powerful combination of oil, water and salt that makes our skincare so nourishing. We do not use citric acid at all in our sugar-based exfoliating scrub formulation because we do not believe citric acid to be useful for this purpose when other ingredients are so much better and less harmful.
