Although skin type is determined partly by genes, Apoterra Skincare believe skin changes with the climate/seasons, diet, and age. Your skin may be combination (oily and dry) as well as break out prone during the summer, but might become more dry in the winter. Reassessing the condition of your skin on a seasonal basis will help you find the best skincare ritual. Is everything Apoterra Skincare make natural? Yes! Almost all their ingredients are used in their naturally occuring form. Some ingredients, such as vitamin E and CoQ10 are naturally derived and naturally found in nature. The only ingredients that they use that are not always derived from natural sources is their Vitamin C and Vitamin B3. Apoterra Skincare chose to integrate these into their skincare products as they are extremely effective, they have a proven safety record and they are naturally occurring vitamins.
