Post-Parade Remedies

Algae & Aloe Cool Gel

Feeling a bit red and sunburnt post-parade? Reach for our Algae & Aloe Cool Gel. Our specially crafted formula harnesses the power of natural skin soothers, allowing your body to return to a state of calmness and rejuvenating your senses after a long day in the sun or experiencing distressing skin conditions.

Algae & Aloe Cool Gel contains mineral-rich algae extract, renowned for its nourishing properties, super-soothing aloe vera to provide relief, balancing apple cider vinegar, and a carefully selected blend of essential oils known for their ability to soothe irritations and promote a sense of healing.

Indulge in the refreshing sensation of this wonder mask, which acts as a cooling and relaxing spa treatment. From the moment it touches your skin, you'll feel the soothing effects as it helps reduce inflammation, improves the appearance of redness and swelling, and swiftly restores a well-cared-for complexion. (Tip: Keep it in the refrigerator for an extra-cooling sensation!)

Matcha Cool Mask

If you’re also feeling as though your face is a bit worse for the wear, you’ll want to ensure you have our Matcha Cool Mask. Be sure to give your skin the TLC deserves with our revitalizing leave-on facial mask. It's a harmonious blend of high-quality ingredients designed to replenish, calm, and rejuvenate your skin. Let the refreshing properties of these carefully chosen botanicals and essential oils provide your skin with the ultimate comfort.

This mask features skin-calming Matcha, deeply nourishing algae extracts, hyaluronic acids to lock in essential moisture, and a blend of botanical treasures like Aloe Vera, Elder Flower, Ginseng, and organic Marula Oil. Together, these ingredients work harmoniously to provide your skin with the care and nourishment it craves. All you need to do is apply a thin layer post-skin irritation, no need to rinse off. (Tip: Keep it in the refrigerator for an extra-cooling sensation!)

Micellar Cleansing Water

Before you hit the pillow post-celebration, don’t forget to wash your face! As tempting as it might be to hit the hay with a face full of makeup, Micellar Cleansing Water will help you to take the hassle out of cleansing. With our Micellar Cleansing Water, there's no need to rinse your face after use, saving you time and effort in your skincare routine.

The secret behind our Micellar Cleansing Water lies in the thoughtful combination of elements. We start with water sourced from our purification system and infuse it with enriching seaweed extract, packed with vitamins and minerals that nourish and replenish your skin. Additionally, we incorporate soothing Cucumber Extract to reduce the appearance of puffiness, and 100% pure Lavandin Essential Oil to provide a calming and nourishing effect. 

Best of all, Micellar Cleansing Water may help you remove the most stubborn of makeup (or parade-worthy face paint) without excessive pulling or tugging of the skin. This Micellar Cleansing Water delicately yet effectively eliminates impurities, dirt, oil, and makeup from your skin, providing a thorough cleanse, so you can sleep soundly knowing your skin is taken care of. 

We’re thrilled to be your trusted companion for a memorable Pride Month celebration. Our curated products will surely enhance your experience from pre-Parade preparations to post-Parade recovery. Celebrate love, inclusivity, and self-expression with your friends at Source Vitál Apothecary. Happy Pride Month!
