This month, we have teamed up with Morganna's Alchemy, a vibrant brand of luxury organic and eco-certified skin care products developed by their Founder and Chemist Maya Hyppolite-Williams (M.A), to offer one of our reviewers a chance to test their star product, Morganna’s Bellatox® 15ml worth RRP £32.85.

How can Morganna’s Alchemy help your skin?

Your skin may be dehydrated if it is dull, tight, oily or showing signs of breakouts. BellaTox® has been especially formulated to treat dehydrated skin and reduce wrinkles. It provides immediate plumping and also moisturizes the skin for up to 24 hours.

What is inside?

BellaTox® is an Ecocert product using only organic active ingredients such as Hydrolysed Wheat Protein, Imperata Cylindrica root, Spilanthol, and Hyaluronic Acid. Blended together, they help counter the natural ageing process and maintain the skin’s fullness - leaving it smooth, hydrated, and wrinkle-free. Read more & Review

• Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein: Envelops the skin, instantly smoothing visible surface wrinkles and imperfections, forms coherent films on the surface of the skin, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother looking appearance.
• Spilanthol, a local anaesthetic extracted from Acmella oleracea: Reduces muscle contractions and relaxes your features. This reduces fine lines, particularly around the eyes and between the eyebrows. Your skin becomes noticeably smoother.
• Imperata cylindrica, also known as blady grass: This plant grows in the very driest of South America’s desert regions and is able to survive even in saline soil. This extract supplies the skin with moisture for up to 4 hours.
• Hyaluron, one of the natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) found in skin: Together with lipids, NMFs keep skin from losing water, maintaining skin’s young, smooth, non-flaky appearance. It creates a slight swelling of the skin that reduces the appearance of wrinkles. NMFs in skincare products also help to temporarily stabilize and maintain the complex intercellular-skin matrix, which is the “glue” that holds the skin together.
