The Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream answers with a rich yet weightless texture that melts into skin, delivering sustained hydration through pure Manuka honey and cold-pressed rosehip oil, while proprietary Vinanza® Grape antioxidants — derived from sustainably grown New Zealand sauvignon blanc grape seeds — defend against the daily stressors that accelerate visible ageing. The indulgent scent of vanilla pod and mandarin transforms a morning skincare step into a moment of sensory luxury. The result: a plump, smooth complexion that looks revived and feels effortlessly comfortable throughout the day. Active Botanical & Hero Ingredients Ingredient INCI Name Concentration Function Skin Benefit Vinanza® Grape Vitis vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract High Antioxidant Neutralises free radicals from UV and environmental stressors; promotes cellular energy and skin vitality Manuka Honey Leptospermum scoparium (Manuka) Honey High Humectant / Antimicrobial Draws moisture into the skin, softens texture, and supports a healthy skin barrier with natural antimicrobial properties Rosehip Oil Rosa canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil Mid Emollient / Antioxidant Replenishes essential fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6), smooths fine lines, and improves skin suppleness and tone Vanilla Pod Fragrance Vanilla planifolia Fruit Extract / Natural Fragrance (COSMOS-certified) Trace Sensory / Fragrance Provides COSMOS-certified aromatic experience with potential minor antioxidant contribution Mandarin Fragrance Citrus reticulata Peel Oil (COSMOS-certified) Trace Sensory / Fragrance Contributes to the pure-plant fragrance profile; naturally uplifting citrus note How It Works At the core of this formulation, Manuka honey functions as a potent humectant, binding water molecules within the stratum corneum to maintain continuous hydration and prevent transepidermal water loss. Rosehip oil complements this action by replenishing the skin’s lipid matrix with linoleic and linolenic acids, reinforcing barrier integrity and visibly smoothing fine lines over time. Vinanza® Grape seed extract — a proprietary Antipodes innovation clinically validated for its antioxidant potency — scavenges reactive oxygen species to protect against oxidative damage that contributes to collagen degradation and premature ageing. Together, these three hero actives create a synergistic moisture-defence system: hydrating at the cellular level, fortifying the barrier, and preserving structural proteins for a fresher, younger-looking complexion. — How To Use Use this moisturiser for dry skin every morning for maximum benefits. Apply to cleansed skin after your favourite serum and eye cream. Gently massage Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream into your face, neck and décolletage using upward strokes.
