Akoactive Queen is a unique and noble extract of the English Keira rose petals. It contains solubilised fl ower waxes for immediate and long-term skin moisturising and protection.
The active is supplied in a watersoluble clear liquid for ease of use, and offers protective, nourishing, immediate and long-term hydration, and antiageing benefi ts.
In the last decade, several studies have been published highlighting fl ower metabolism and how to prolong a fl ower’ s blooming period. This has provided access to new knowledge of the inside of fl owers and their nutrients.

The result is a scented clear liquid, rich in polyphenols and carbohydrates. The synergic concentration of polyphenols and carbohydrates provides immediate skin hydration and helps to protect skin from extreme and severe weather agents. Akoactive Queen gives skin a fresh look, reduces signs of fatigue, and improves skin brightness and radiance. The active ingredient is available in South Africa from Millchem.
