100% natural color
Skincare is more appealing when it is a rich, vibrant, natural color.
Plants that are rich in antioxidants tend to have vibrant colors, such as bright reds, vibrant blues, deep greens and calming yellows.
Dry Skin Love Skincare is made with 100% natural color.
No artificial or synthetic colors.
Bright red from astaxanthin
Dry Skin Love Wild Orange Oil Cleanser contains astaxanthin from microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.
Astaxanthin is a type of carotenoid pigment that is bright red to orange in color.
Carotenoids constitute a large family of fat-soluble isoprenoid pigments widely recognized as bioactive, responsible for many of the yellow-to-red colors in flowers, fruits, vegetables and microorganisms.
Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and has many potential benefits for the skin (Davinelli et al, 2018).
Vibrant blue from blue chamomile
Dry Skin Love Wild Orange Oil Cleanser contains organic German blue chamomile CO2 extract that has a rich blue color.
Blue chamomile CO2 is rich in potent anti-inflammatory sesquiterpenes α-bisabolol, β-farnesene and chamazulene (Srivastava et al, 2010).
Chamazulene, a blue-pigmented sesquiterpene, is formed in the heat during steam distillation from the parent chemical, matricin, a constituent found in the raw plant material, specifically the flowers.
Deep green from hemp seed oil
Dry Skin Love Wild Orange Oil Cleanser contains organic, cold-pressed, unrefined, Canadian-grown hemp seed oil.
Hemp seed oil contains chlorophyll, providing a deep green color.
Hemp seed oil can soften your skin, strengthen your skin barrier, calm redness and inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress and damage.

Calming yellow from calendula flowers
Dry Skin Love Wild Orange Oil Cleanser contains organic whole calendula flower extract. Calendula is rich in carotenoids (Arora et al, 2013) that provide a lovely yellow color to our cleanser.
Summary
The vibrant orange color of Dry Skin Love Wild Orange Oil Cleanser is formed from combining red astaxanthin, blue chamomile, green hemp and yellow calendula.
Together these powerful plant compounds form a bright, vibrant orange color, and an antioxidant-rich treat for your skin.
