The Sostar Restorative Cream with Red Bud Oil is a 50ml face and neck cream enriched with red bud oil, jojoba oil, panthenol and aloe. According to the manufacturer, it rejuvenates tired skin, refreshes the texture of the skin and deeply hydrates.
It is especially aimed at problematic skin with acne marks, sensitive skin and skin with redness, while it is suitable for all skin types.
Red bud oil is made from the yellow flowers of the Hypericum perforatum plant, which in Greece is called balm herb, red bud herb or 'St. John's herb'. The latter name is due to the fact that it blooms around June 24, the feast of St. John, when the flowers were traditionally collected.
The classic recipe is simple: fresh flowers are placed in olive oil, in a glass jar, and left in the sun for several weeks. Gradually the oil takes on a deep red color, thanks to the plant's pigments. In many Greek homes, a jar of red bud oil was always on the shelf for skin care.
Today, red bud oil is used in cosmetics for its softening and soothing effect. One point worth noting is that St. John's herb is generally considered a plant that can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Therefore, after using products containing red bud oil, it is advisable to avoid intense sun exposure and use sunscreen.
In the Sostar cream, red bud oil is not used alone. It is combined with ingredients that modern cosmetology uses for hydration and comfort, so that the traditional raw material becomes a cream that spreads easily and fits into the daily routine.
It suits those who want to care for the appearance of acne marks and give the skin a smoother texture, sensitive skin that needs gentle care and skin with redness. It is not a treatment for acne or scars, but a cosmetic care for the daily routine. For active acne or deep scars, the dermatologist is the appropriate consultant.
Apply to clean, dry face and neck, preferably in the evening, with gentle movements until absorbed. If used during the day, combine it with sunscreen. Follow the instructions on the packaging.
