– Vitamin K, which improves skin elasticity (research, Maastricht University).

WHY DID WE USE CUCUMBER IN A FACE MASK?
Cucumber (Cucumis Sativus) fruit extract is the perfect ingredient to add the finishing touch to a pH-balanced skincare product. It’s quite a challenge to make a pH-balanced face mask. Especially if you don’t use harsh chemicals. We mainly use this fruit extract to achieve the perfect pH level for our face mask.
It is the combination with other ingredients that makes Cucumis Sativus so important in our face mask. Compare it to ice cubes in freshly made lemonade. It is the finishing touch to a perfect glass of lemonade.
