The Evening Elixir and The Formulator

WelleCo’s formulator, Dr Simoné Laubscher takes us through her favourite Evening Elixir benefits and corresponding ingredients so you can see for yourself why this glow-getting Elixir is the WelleCo evening treat on everybody's lips.

Q: What are the most important benefits and ingredients you’ve used in The Evening Elixir and how do they work?

A: The most important benefits (and ingredients) for skin health, rest and relaxation in The Evening Elixir include;

1. Boosts skin collagen formation

“The Evening Elixir is formulated with plant-derived vitamin C from superfruit acerola. It encourages your body to produce more collagen while you sleep.”

2. Contains antioxidants to protect cells from free radical damage

“We chose this antioxidant-rich acerola because it is high in flavonoids, anthocyanins (a special type of flavonoids that gives acerola the deep red colour) and phenolic acids, which are antioxidants that protect your cells against free radicals.”

3. Supports nerve and muscle function

“We’ve included a good daily quantity of magnesium which is required for over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. In fact, The Evening Elixir includes 47% of the AU daily recommended intake. Magnesium ensures you’ll have supported your nervous system to encourage quality rest.”

How Dr Laubscher takes her Evening Elixir

“I mix mine with warm water plus a dash of unsweetened almond milk for a nourishing nightcap to not only calm my system into rest but to also give me peace of mind that my body (and skin) is receiving quality nutrients.”
