How natural anti-ageing skincare works
What ageing looks like on the skin
As we age, our skin begins to show visible signs of time – from fine lines and wrinkles to a loss of firmness and elasticity.
While ageing is a natural process – and a privilege – a regular skincare ritual can help reduce these signs and support smoother, more youthful-looking skin, for longer.
Over time, skin changes in several ways:
- Collagen and elastin production slows, resulting in sagging and deeper wrinkles
- Oxidative stress increases, accelerating skin damage and dullness
- Hydration decreases, making skin appear tired and dry.
Natural anti-ageing skincare works by targeting these visible signs with plant-powered, science-backed ingredients that support healthy skin function without harsh synthetic ingredients that can damage your skin’s barrier function.
How natural skincare targets signs of ageing
At Antipodes, our natural anti-ageing formulations are designed to deliver visible results by focusing on three core areas:
Boost collagen to smooth lines and wrinkles
Collagen is the protein responsible for skin’s firmness and smoothness. Natural ingredients like avocado oil, cacay oil, bakuchiol, and Sepilift™ peptides help support collagen synthesis, softening the look of lines and improving skin texture.
Support elastin for a firm and bouncy complexion
Elastin gives skin its bounce and ability to snap back. Avocado oil is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins that nourish the skin barrier and support elasticity for a plumper, more youthful appearance.
Prevent oxidative stress for bright, healthy-looking skin
Environmental stressors like UV exposure and pollution generate free radicals, which contribute to premature ageing. We include high-performance antioxidants such as Vinanza® Grape seed extract and natural vitamin C, from Kakadu plum, to help neutralise free radical damage and brighten dull skin.
Collagen-boosting skincare
Firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin is yours with our anti-ageing skincare range packed with natural ingredients and high-tech bioactives. These formulations are scientifically shown in-vitro to boost collagen in human skin cells.
Scientifically proven natural ingredients
Avocado oil
Avocado oil is a hero ingredient in our anti-ageing range – and for good reason. What makes it so effective is its high concentration of sterolin, a natural compound that helps stimulate collagen production. Avocado oil is also rich in phytosterols – plant compounds known for their ability to soothe inflammation and support skin repair.
Vinanza® Grape seed extract
Scientists discovered that the seeds of grapes grown in New Zealand have double the levels of antioxidants of grapes grown anywhere else in the world! They slow down the appearance of ageing by offsetting free radical damage caused by UV exposure, pollution and external stressors. You’ll find Vinanza® Grape in our bestsellingAvocado Pear Collagen-Boosting Night Cream, Aura Mānuka Honey Mask, and throughout our entire Anti-Ageing range.
Sepilift™ peptides
These high-tech natural peptides are scientifically shown to help firm skin and smooth wrinkles by stimulating collagen and protecting skin structure. You’ll find Sepilift™ peptides inLime Caviar Collagen-Rich Firming Cream.

More than the sum of its parts
At Antipodes, it’s not just about what goes into our products – it’s how those ingredients work together to deliver visible results. That’s why we invest in in-vitro testing on human skin cells to understand how our end formulations perform.
Our focus? Collagen – the protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and youthful. By testing on human fibroblast cells (the ones responsible for producing Type I collagen), we can see how our skincare may help stimulate collagen production beyond normal levels. The result: scientifically backed skincare with the potential to support firmer, younger-looking skin.
The natural way to support youthful-looking skin
Choosing natural anti-ageing skincare means selecting products that work in harmony with your skin to support long-term results. By boosting collagen and protecting against environmental stress, our plant-powered formulas help your skin look firmer, smoother, and more youthful – naturally.
