Linden Leaves

theSkintopic which brought Olive and Tebe to Malaysia has recently introduced another New Zealand brand, Linden Leaves at the 2 theSkintopic outlets at Subang Parade (opened August 2012) and Pavilion (opened September 2012). Linden Leaves products consist of 3 ranges – Skincare, Bathtime and Aromatherapy Synergy. This post will focus on the skincare and I’ll bring you images and information on the other 2 ranges after this.

The Linden Leaves story began in 1995 in Christchurch, New Zealand by founder Brigit Blair who developed a strong interest in skincare formulations and ingredients while caring for two of her three children who suffered from severe eczema and skin allergies in their youth. Not able to find a quality range of products to suit the family needs, Brigit spotted a niche and began developing her own range.

Skincare

The skincare range consists of 12 products and the key ingredients are botanical based which means they have very natural scents. Most of the skincare contains organic white tea which according to a study, is effective in boosting the immune function of skin cells and protecting them against the damaging effects of the sun.

One of the star products in the skincare range is the Regenerating Elixir with Organic White Tea and Rose. This is an aid for tired skin and can be mixed with Linden Leaves Moisture Replenishing Masque as a rejuvenating and rehydrating treatment. You can mix and match any of the products with your existing skincare.

Regenerating Elixir with Organic White Tea and Rose 15ml/RM196

Moisture Replenishing Masque with Fennel and Green Tea 55ml/RM118

The Moisture Replenishing Masque can be used as an eye mask and a sleeping mask. It’s recommended to be stored in the fridge if you want a more cooling and soothing sensation. It’s a gel mask with a relaxing scent.
