Antipodes is one of those brands you didn't know you loved until you tried the Aura Manuka Honey Mask and then you need to try absolutely everything else is there is to offer. Pronounced An-Tip-oh-dees, the brand which hails all the way from New Zealand, its creator, Elizabeth Barbalich had a desire to create premium, scientifically validated, organic beauty products. She wanted them to be made from fully sustainable sources that could be used every day plus the packaging features fully recyclable bottles and aluminium tubes, and 100% biodegradable card from sustainable forests.
At the beginning of lockdown, I was sent this lovely packages from Antipodes which features their brand new Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel which I will declare my love for now!
The Antipodes Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel is described as being a weightless, intensive moisturiser that immerses thirsty skin in natural moisture without heaviness or oiliness.
Suitable for absolutely all skin types and once applied it absorbs so easily to hydrate the skin and it very much feels as though you have just had your face immersed in water only better. It glides onto the skin, it doesn't stick, it isn't tacky and I could bathe in it because it is just so refreshing.
If you are familiar with Antipodes, then you will know that their products have some amazing ingredients and this one is no different. Firstly we have Plant-originated hyaluronic acid which works with New Zealand manuka honey and harakeke gel to deeply hydrate skin. Then we have Mamaku black fern which helps regenerate and foster healthy cells. Finally, there is the addition of South Pacific hibiscus flower which gently exfoliates deadened skin cells to freshen your complexion. To make this product even more amazing, it has the most beautiful fresh rose scent, which doesn't actually linger on the skin at all.
If you are looking for a product to soothe and hydrate your skin, then Antipodes Baptise H20 Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel is definitely worth looking at. It can be found via Lookfantastic, Beauty Bay and Feelunique and is priced between £25 and £29.
