Antipodes Avocado Pear Nourishing Night Cream — A Botanically Rich Night Cream Clinically Shown to Boost Collagen Production
Skin that has lost its bounce and feels persistently undernourished needs more than surface hydration — it needs overnight rebuilding at a structural level. This ultra-rich night cream delivers avocado oil’s collagen-stimulating lipids alongside Vinanza® Grape, an antioxidant extract from Marlborough sauvignon blanc grape seeds, working in concert to defend against oxidative degradation of the skin matrix while supporting new collagen synthesis. Come morning, skin feels deeply replenished, visibly plumper, and more resilient — the quiet result of serious botanical science working through the night.
| Ingredient | INCI Name | Concentration | Function | Skin Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avocado Oil | Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil | High | Emollient / Lipid Replenisher | Rich in oleic acid and phytosterols; reinforces skin’s lipid barrier and supports collagen synthesis in dermal fibroblasts |
| Vinanza® Grape (Sauvignon Blanc Grape Seed Extract) | Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract | Mid | Antioxidant / Collagen Co-factor | Supplies oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that neutralise free radicals, protect collagen fibres from oxidative degradation, and support type I collagen upregulation |
| Mānuka Honey | Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Honey | Mid | Humectant / Antimicrobial / Soothing | Draws moisture to the skin via hygroscopic action; contains methylglyoxal (MGO) for antimicrobial support and promotes a calm, hydrated complexion |
| Ylang Ylang | Cananga Odorata Flower Oil | Trace | Fragrance / Antioxidant | Contributes pure-plant aromatic profile; minor antioxidant co-benefit |
| Jasmine | Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Extract / Oil | Trace | Fragrance / Skin-Conditioning | Contributes to the botanical fragrance accord; mild skin-conditioning properties |
| Sandalwood | Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Oil | Trace | Fragrance / Anti-inflammatory | Contributes warm base note to fragrance; santalols offer minor soothing and anti-inflammatory benefit |
Avocado oil’s high concentration of oleic acid and plant sterols penetrates into the upper dermis, where it supports fibroblast activity and has been shown in independent in-vitro study to stimulate type I collagen synthesis in human skin fibroblast cells by up to 92% at tested concentrations. Vinanza® Grape seed extract delivers a dense payload of oligomeric proanthocyanidins that scavenge reactive oxygen species, preventing oxidative cross-linking and degradation of existing collagen fibres — effectively protecting the structural matrix while new collagen is laid down. Mānuka honey acts as a hygroscopic humectant, binding atmospheric moisture into the stratum corneum, which plumps the appearance of fine lines and restores surface suppleness. Together, these three actives address both the degradation and deficiency sides of the skin-ageing equation during the skin’s natural nocturnal repair window.
