BORBA’s topical skin care products incorporate a FIRST in skin treatment and an entirely new approach to skin improvement…Fiber-Knit Technology. The BORBA research team discovered a synergy between specific types of fabric and the most common skin concerns. With the use of Fiber-Knit technology, a natural web-like protection is provided on the skin, allowing nutrient-infused vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidant ingredients to penetrate and significantly improve skin’s deepest epidermal layers. Just as with the BORBA Aqualess Crystalline packettes, which are a hydrolyzed powder form of the popular BORBA Skin Balance Waters, the same is true with the various fabrics being used in BORBA Skincare. When these cosmeceutical-grade, fine quality fibers are hydrolyzed to a highly refined powder form, the powder will literally activate itself once it is added to the lotions, gels, or creams — creating an incredible supportive structure specifically designed to benefit your skin’s individual chemistry.
When you think of cotton, the words that come to mind are fresh, clean, and absorbent. BORBA discovered that hydrolyzed cotton is not only absorbent, it truly allows skin to breathe, so there’s no more oily breakthrough or shine, and red, irritated skin is continually soothed. Hydrolyzed cotton is the base of BORBA’s Clarifying Microdiamond Cleanser — a four-in-one, multi-tasking product: cleanser, toner, exfoliant, and mask. This product is ideal for facial or body skin that suffers from surface oil and frequent breakouts. The cleanser is enriched with vitamins, minerals and botanicals, and contains micronized diamond dust, which acts as an exfoliant, helping to refine and resurface skin. Last but not least, when left on skin for 2-5 minutes, this cleanser performs as a fabulous anti-inflammatory mask.
When you think of skin as it ages, lack of elasticity or firmness, and lines and wrinkles always seem to be the key concerns. BORBA discovered that hydrolyzed elastin fibers give skin added flexibility, strength and durability and deliver a more youthful, firm, and smooth appearance. The BORBA Age Defying Concentrate, with hydrolyzed elastin, is a multi-tasking serum that provides the highest concentration of BORBA’s Skin Balance Water nourishing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to deeply penetrate skin’s epidermal layers. Skin is surrounded and protected from environmental assaults, while being significantly lifted and firmed. Applied before moisturization, this lightweight serum absorbs immediately, leaving absolutely no oily residue.
One multi-tasking product that can be used by anyone, twice a day, is BORBA’s Orbital Eye Rejuvenator. Hydrolyzed silk fiber caresses the delicate skin around the eye area, while soy protein establishes a strong support and provides a tightening sensation around the eye. With added nutritional vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the results are dramatic: dark circles are minimized, fine lines and crows feet are smoothed, puffiness is reduced, and eyes are left firmed and hydrated. This eye cream literally addresses every imaginable eye concern.
