Application

Make sure to have clean skin for best results, having cleansed your face beforehand
Cleanse your skin
Apply serum gently on damp skin with your fingers – make sure to distribute evenly
– Be careful around eyebrows and hairline (No.17)
Wash your hands thoroughly and wait until you feel that the serums have been absorbed and penetrated the skin
(Apply treatment creams (acne, rosacea, peels, etc.))
Have dry skin
Apply moisturizer/SPF (to lock in the active ingredients)
Depending on your routines, other self tanners and wish for tan, apply daily, bi-daily or every third day, varying between No.16 and No.17.

Key ingredients
Sodium hyaluronate (SH) is the salt form of the skin-replenishing hyaluronic acid (HA), and shares the same benefits, including its ability to retain moisture. In its form, 1 gram (0.03 fl.oz.) HA can retain up to 6 liters (203 fl.oz.), though when used on the skin, it can’t hold that much. But sodium hyaluronate can as a smart ingredient help the skin maintain its water balance – which gives you a healthy, youthful and plumped look. Sodium hyaluronate is a humectant (moisture-binding), but is also considered a postbiotic, meaning it helps nourishing and maintaining the skin’s microbiome. The main difference between HA and SH, is that the skin is better at absorbing SH.
Overall; sodium hyaluronate is a humectant and antioxidant that is excellent in replenishing the skin and moisture-binding. It keeps your skin looking plumped, healthy and hydrated. It benefits your skin by its abilities in soothing, anti-aging and hydration.
Ascorbyl Glucoside is a form of vitamin C; an antioxidant and skin brightener (in terms of helping to fade brown spots (hyper-pigmentation) caused by sun damage or post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation). Our bodies don’t naturally produce vitamin C, and it’s a tricky ingredient that is both unstable, hard to formulate, and also has difficulties in penetrating the skin. This is why we use Ascorbyl Glucoside, which have shown to be one of the best derivatives of vitamin C. On the contrary to vitamin C, it’s stable, easy to formulate and has in in-vitro studies shown no troubles with penetrating the skin, which is important in terms of letting the active anti-aging ingredients do their job. In-vitro studies also show that Ascorbyl Glucoside converts into vitamin C, when absorbed by the skin – at the same time it also shows the three anti-aging benefits that pure vitamin C also does (antioxidant protection + collagen boosting + fading hyper-pigmentation). Ascorbyl Glucoside thus boosts the skin’s own collagen production, and used under sunscreen, it boosts both the UV- and photoprotection.
Dihydroxyacetone, or DHA, a colorless sugar compound that’s used in most self-tanners. It can be derived synthetically, or from sugar beets and canes. When DHA interacts with the amino acids in the proteins of the skin cells, the production of melanoids – brown pigments – happens, which creates a tanned appearance.
This reaction only occurs in the top layer of the skin, which is why self tanners aren’t permanent. At Boë we use the smallest possible particles that go deeper in the skin, compared to other self tan products. This is why the tan from Boë’s products have a long lasting natural tan color.
DHA is generally well-tolerated by most people, though it can cause both contact dermatitis (rashes, irritation, redness) as well as an allergy. Though, we have never experienced any customers getting allergic reactions, alone from Boë’s products.
Allantoin is naturally found in sugar plants, but when used in skincare, it is typically produced in a lab. It’s an active ingredient which is anti-irritant and wound-healing. Allantoin has mild keratolytic properties, which gives you a soft skin upon application. It’s also a moisturizing agent that has a calming effect on the skin, and supports the natural cell division. It’s an ingredient that is suitable and beneficial for all skin types. Allantoin doesn’t clog your pores, it creates balance in the ‘grease production’ in your skin and is also an ideal humidifier for more greasy and acne-prone skin. Allantoin is especially beneficial for people with sensitive and irritated skin, who also has a tendency to redness, as it has a calming effect on the skin.
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Water is a plant extract and antioxidant, with soothing and anti-aging abilities. The Anthemis Nobilis flower is also known as the chamomile flower. The ingredient has significant skin soothing and anti-aging abilities, besides an ability to restore the skin and help it to relax and refresh.

Why it's special
Both No.16 and No.17 are well balanced and gentle facial serums, made for all skin types. In both, the amount and percentages of active ingredients have been trialed, measured and weighed in order for them to obtain the maximum all round quality. To have a texture that is both easily spreadable, soft and at the same time doesn’t run, and to provide the skin with the most yield. The serums contain ingredients that are relaxing for your skin, decreases irritation and sensitization, why they’re suitable for both dry, irritated, acne-prone, and rosacea skin, as they doesn’t contain any oils and are gentle on the skin. They works wonders on hyper-pigmentation, giving your skin a more even look, while they also grants it with hydration and anti-aging benefits. No.16 and No.17 contain the ingredient Ascorbyl Glucoside (vitamin C antioxidant), and when this is applied under sunscreen, it will boost the UV- and photoprotection further. This also includes protection against UVA-rays, which are present all year and go through windows, causing premature skin and wrinkles.
The self tanning effect in No.17 gives you an increased glow and a beautiful subtle golden tan, that you can increase/maintain/decrease easily, depending on your frequency of usage. The tan is deep and gives you a subtle summerkissed appearance.
The ingredients in No.16 & No.17 have been deliberately chosen to be sensitive, reduce irritations and revive dull and tired skin. We’ve made specific choices regarding the percentage amount of each active ingredient. This is for example why the HA is at 1%, because at 1% it’s more cooperative with the other ingredients, and they can all thus contribute with their maximum. Also, when HA is at 1%, it’ll have a better texture, being easier to apply – and it wont fuss on your skin afterwards!
The formula’s of both will decrease the stress of the skin, made by outstanding factors, besides leading to stimulation and increase in collagen renewal, the skin’s tissue repairing and hydration in the skin. The combination of HA, vitamin C, Glycoin and Propanediol (and DHA & Erythrulose in No.17), is gentle and relaxing for your skin. It relieves it from stress and helps to lock in moisture and hydration, besides increasing elasticity and glow. Lastly, they works wonders on hyperpigmentation and are relaxing towards irritated and red skin – while also giving you a gorgeous golden glow and tan, increasing your skin’s even appearance.
Beautiful Skin for Life!
