Product Information

Cucumber extract is believed to be a superfood for your skin. The extracted juice is comprised mostly of proteins, lipids, Vitamin C, and a few minerals. These ingredients combined have both moisturizing and emollient properties. In addition, cucumber extract contains astringent properties and can work to relieve puffy, inflamed skin.

Beyond its great skin benefits, cucumber is believed to be extremely gentle—so much so that it is often used around one of the most sensitive parts of our bodies, the eyes. This is why you will see cucumbers being used during spa treatments, as they help to moisturize the under-eye area and reduce puffiness.
