Water | Color - Hydrating Serum + Self Tanner

Description

Maya Chia Water Color Hydrating Serum + Self Tanner is a multi-correctional tinted serum created to hydrate the skin, delivering super antioxidants while providing the added benefit of a gradual sunless tan for a healthy radiant glow. This innovative formula is powered by super antioxidants chebula and astaxanthin to help combat skin aging and inflammation while providing maximum hydration. A high-performance serum which blends effortless into the skin without an off-putting scent and color transfer concerns. 

The combination of Cosmos/Ecocert-approved DHA and Erythrulose (both derived from fermented keto-sugars) builds a natural tan gradually, with a streak-free finish and a gradual glow.

HOW TO USE IT

For best results, exfoliate skin prior to use. To achieve the maximum color, dispense 2-4 pumps of the products into the palm of your hand and spread evenly across face. Additional pumps will augment the color. For a much more gradual approach, mix 3-5 pumps into your moisturizer and apply to face. It will take approximately 2-4 hours for tan to develop. Apply daily to sustain and maintain your glow. Always remember to rinse hands after application.

ABOUT THIS BRAND

Through her lifelong fascination with the rituals of the Mayan culture, Susanne Norwitz, Founder of Maya Chia, discovered that chia seeds, a Mayan superfood, produced the most omega and nutritionally dense oil in nature, clinically proven to increase skin hydration, improve skin barrier function and reduce transepidermal water loss. Motivated to bring this Mayan gift to the masses, she delved into her own research to identify the purest method for extraction to ensure the integrity of the oil remains as close to its original plant-based form as possible. It is the patented, supercritical extraction method of chia seed oil that makes Maya Chia a star. Maya Chia’s mission is to support beautiful skin powered by nature’s most active botanicals. Each beauty product in the line boasts a super concentration of active ingredients that strike the perfect balance of omegas, antioxidants, and minerals to deeply moisturize and nourish skin. Susanne now sources all of her chia seed oil from sustainable cooperatives in Central and South America and donates a portion of the company’s net profits to organizations that build farms and schools in Mayan communities.
