Elequra Pure Balancing Cleanser Review

I was recently introduced to a new bio-designed skincare range created by biochemist Nausheen Qureshi. I have been loving the Elequra Pure Balancing Cleanser which purifies and brightens my skin so effectively. Here’s the low down.

First of all, I should probably talk about this concept of ‘bio-designed’ skincare. What does it mean?

What is bio-designed skincare?

Basically, the ‘bio’ in bio-designed means that the ingredients used in the skincare come from a natural source. In this case Elequra uses a selection of the best botanicals, which are extracted and transformed into bio-available active ingredients and formulated to ensure maximum skin benefit using advanced sicentific processes. These processes are where the ‘design’ comes in. It is a combination of the best of nature, the best of technology.

Elequra Pure Balancing Cleanser Review

There is a full range of products in the collection but I wanted to try the cleanser first because I am a firm believer that cleansing is the most important step to get right. This is a gorgeous cleanser that uses fruit acids to gently exfoliate and leaves my skin super smooth, clean and glowing.

It gently foams and uses coconut salt, in place of skin-stripping sulphates, to do this. You will experience a gorgeous silky formula that gently, yet deeply, cleans the skin. It contains anti-oxidant Green Tea to protect the skin, Vitamin C to brighten and also has hydrating properties thanks to its bio-designed tamarind seed extract within the formula.

Key Ingredients

• Rose Water base to soothe the skin
• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Cocoamidopropyl Betaine –  gentle surfactants that work together to create micelles that gently encapsulate and transport dirt and bacteria away from the skin when used with water
• Tamarind Seed Extract: bio-designed and a powerful hydrating ingredient
• Stable Vitamin C: a brightening ingredient that reduces the appearance of blemishes, evens the skin tone and helps to increase skin’s firmness
• Panthenol: pro-vitamin B5, a water-attracting, penetrative ingredient that helps the skin layers retain moisture thereby helping reduce inflammation
• Fruit Acids: gently exfoliates the skin to refresh the complexion, helps skin feels firmer and smoother
• Hydrolysed silk: made from the amino acids serine, alanine and glycine this imparts a silk-like soft texture to the skin
• Green Tea Extract: a polyphenol that is a natural antioxidant
• Baobab Extract: a brilliant natural antioxidant high in vitamin A, containing vital minerals magnesium, calcium, iron and potassium
• Glycerin: a beautifully textured hydrating ingredient

As you can see, this cleanser is packed with additional skincare and actives, to ensure that it does so much more than purely cleanse the skin. I loved it from the first use, and the neat bottle makes it perfect to travel with.
