Nutrition & Skin Health | Inside-Out Skincare with Tropic – Tropic Skincare
That belief lives on in every Tropic formulation today – you’d find in any good health food shop.
1. VITAMIN C
For Brightness & Vitality
Vitamin C is renowned for its antioxidant support, enhancing skin brightness and helping the complexion look refreshed and energised. Naturally found in citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, and leafy greens, it’s the nutrient that instantly makes any plate – and complexion – look and feel more vibrant.
Our bestselling Skin Feast Nourishing Moisturiser contains Kakadu plum – the most vitamin C-rich fruit on the planet, with up to 100x more vitamin C than an orange – helping to illuminate and deeply hydrate skin at the same time.
For Strength & Suppleness
Healthy fats play a vital role in reinforcing skin structure and flooding it with moisture. Omega fatty acids, found in foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, help strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it feeling firm, plump, nourished, and smooth.
Expertly formulated to feed skin with the same level of essential fatty acids we’d naturally have at the age of 22, Elixir Enriching Omega Facial Oil gives skin an enviable bounce and an unrivalled glow.
For Resilience & Everyday Protection
Antioxidants are abundant in colourful fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, spinach, and beetroot – and even dark chocolate (who said ‘healthy’ couldn’t be indulgent). They help support skin against everyday environmental stressors, keeping it protected and looking bright, youthful, and balanced.
Our original bestselling Smoothing Cleanser gently dissolves impurities while helping retain moisture. Enriched with green tea extract, it provides antioxidant support for skin that looks brighter, fresher, and more alive.
Vitamin A is found in foods like carrots, pumpkin and squash, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, mangoes, and papaya. Vitamin A from plants is best absorbed when eaten with a little healthy fat (think olive oil, nuts, or avocado). It’s an essential nutrient for skin vitality.
Youth Potion Enriched Retinal Complex brings vitamin A into your skincare routine in a high-performance way. It’s powered by the world’s first natural retinal – a potent form of vitamin A, sourced from marine algae.
Retinal works by encouraging skin’s natural renewal cycle (cell turnover), helping to refine the look of fine lines and wrinkles, boost skin plumpness, and reveal enhanced radiance over time. By supporting faster renewal and surface refinement, it can also help smooth the appearance of scarring, improve the look of uneven texture, and reduce the appearance of blemishes for skin that looks clearer, younger, and more even.
For Hydration & Glow
Skin is composed of approximately 64% water, acting as a critical reservoir for the body’s hydration – making water the foundation of healthy skin. Drinking enough supports elasticity and helps maintain that fresh, plump appearance we associate with a natural glow.
Hydration sits at the heart of many Tropic heroes, with lightweight, moisture-rich formulas designed to quench thirsty skin.
Just like a glass of water first thing in the morning, hydration sets the tone for the day. Try adding Rainforest Dew Hydration Serum to your routine. Infused with hyaluronic acid, it boosts hydration by 111% in two hours* for skin that looks dewy, plump and refreshed.
