NOIR STAR
1OZ | 30ML
CHARCOAL PEPTIDE SOOTHING SERUM
ANTI WRINKLE | HYDRATING | OIL ABSORBING
BOTANICAL PEPTIDES | ORGANIC ALOE | CHARCOAL
This moisturizing gel serum soothes, detoxifies, and hydrates while combating wrinkles.
It is very light weight, deeply hydrating, and absorbs quickly into the skin. It has the appearance of a black gel lotion that will not leave any color on your skin.
The wrinkle fighting natural peptides in this serum are produced from the seeds of the herbaceous annual plant Chenopodium Quinoa. These small peptides in the seed extract give powerful performance to support the structural integrity of the skin. This ingredient has shown to provide powerful, age-defying performance with statistically significant clinical results after 28 days.
The Activated Charcoal which gives it the black color, has been known to absorb oil which aids in the detoxification of skin.
INSPIRATION: It’s black color reminded me of the black and white Film Noirs that I love watching. I love all the Film Noir Stars, especially Barbara Stanwyk as the femme fatale, Phyllis Dietrichson, in Double Indemnity and the character Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson, in Sunset Boulevard, she would have loved this serum!
DIRECTIONS: Apply to the entire face, neck, and chest after cleansing. May be used under makeup, in the AM or PM.

Khaled Okiel, Mona El-Sayed, Mohamed Y. El-Kady, Charcoal absorbed oil after about one hour. Treatment of oil–water emulsions by adsorption onto activated carbon, bentonite and deposited carbon. The main objective of this study is to examine the removal of oil from oil–water emulsions by adsorption on bentonite, powdered activated carbon (PAC) and deposited carbon (DC). The results gave evidence of the ability of the adsorbents to adsorb oil and that the adsorptive property of the three adsorbents (bentonite, PAC, and DC) has been influenced by different factors.
