Frequently Asked Questions
‘Clean’ brands tend to be younger and newer to the market and thus don’t usually invest the large amount of funds needed to clinically trial products to prove results in an independent lab. Not us; we are firmly committed to doing this as the clean, organic and natural sector has to prove it works. As we grow the brand, we will grow the investment into clinical testing as a priority but below are our test results so far!
Dermatological testing All Proverb skincare has been successfully Dermatologically tested.
Lab tests on individual ingredients
Cleanse & Shave Nutrient Mud
Antarctic glycoproteins- With its natural cryoprotective properties against water loss and dry skin allied with increased Collagen synthesis by up to 34% and the ability to reduce wrinkles depth by an average of 44% in just 30 days, this sustainably sourced marine supplement will lead to a younger and firmer-looking complexion.
Freeze-dried acai berry powder has the highest ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of any other fruit/berry per 100g serving.
Energising Facial Scrub
We have not clinically trialled the scrub as a full formula as it is a wash-off product. Instead, we chose superfood-based ingredients with impressive nutritional profiles. This isn’t usually the case as most formulations leave out the good stuff in a wash of products.
Omega 7 - We chose Seabuckthorn due to its nutritional profile, not to mention the serious shade of orange. It contains over 190 nutrients and phytonutrients including vitamin C at a 12 x higher level than an orange. Hence, it’s a new place as a superfood. Rich in carotenoids, phenols and glucoside, vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene. The seed oil part comprises unsaturated essential fatty acids including Linoleic and Linolenic acids, while the pulp oil has unsaturated essential fatty acids, carotenoids and vitamin E. Exfoliants shouldn’t just be about sloughing off dead skin you should be using your time scrubbing to replenish and feed your new skin cells too.
Superfood Avocado & Coconut - Blended ground coconut shell to remove dead skin cells and invigorate your skin aiding skin cell regeneration. Alongside blitzed avocado stones, the powerhouse of this anti-oxidant-rich ingredient and a super use of something normally just thrown in the bin. Wake up your face.
Inca Inchi Oil - With an Omega 3 content like no other and ARGAN OIL with its exceptional content of unsaturated fatty acids help restore the hydro-lipidic film of the skin, strengthening the barrier function of your fresh newly revealed skin cells.

After 4 weeks of application, there is a significant efficacy on the various symptoms associated with heavy legs.
Cleanse & Shave Nutrient Mud
It has a very unique texture - like whipped mud that glides on and makes your skin feel cool. Apply it neat and it feels like a creamy clay mask texture. However, as soon as you add water to your face it becomes an emulsified creamy face wash allowing you to really massage the skin and boost blood and nutrients to the skin cells.
The combination of natural clays is crucial to the anti-redness and smooth, even skin colour, but they are white. All skins - but especially darker skins definitely need a clean face flannel or muslin cloth to remove it. This is a win, as the cloth will also provide a gentle exfoliation. It smells clean and calming, citrus with a woody tone.
Energising Facial Scrub
A dark, dense gloopy texture that spreads when it hits the skin and water and disperses all the thousands of tiny but strong, firm grains. This is a firm physical facial scrub so you don’t need to apply much pressure when using it. You can also use it on the body.
Smells so good you want to eat it and you can technically! Citrus tones of bergamot, lemon peel and both sweet and bitter orange are made more interesting with a unique blend of basil, thyme and mountain pepper so it is never too sweet.
Hydration Pro Moisturiser
Citrus tones of bergamot, lemon peel and both sweet and bitter orange made more interesting with a unique blend of basil, thyme and mountain pepper so it is never too sweet.
