Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a common emollient derived from coconut oil and glycerin. This neutral vegetal oil functions as an emollient and skin-replenishing ingredient, so it helps soften skin and prevent transepidermal water loss.
Carbomer is a term used for a series of polymers primarily made from acrylic acid. Carbomers are used to increase the viscosity of products and create a pleasant texture. They also help distribute and suspend insoluble materials and prevent the oil and liquid parts of a formula from separating.
Papaya oil, or Pawpaw oil, is beautifully aromatic with a light silky touch. It’s remarkably high in antioxidant tocopherols and carotenoids (vitamin A), making it perfectly suited to improving skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and promoting regeneration of skin cells.
Ceramide AP is one of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. They play an important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. The various types of ceramides work synergistically and make up about 50% of the lipids between the skin cells of the stratum corneum.
Ceramide EOP, or ceramide 1, is one of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. They play an important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. The various types of ceramides work synergistically and make up about 50% of the lipids between the skin cells of the stratum corneum.
Ceramide NP, or ceramide 3, is one of the many types of ceramides that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. They play an important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. The various types of ceramides work synergistically and make up about 50% of the lipids between the skin cells of the stratum corneum.
Cetyl Alcohol is a skin-friendly fatty alcohol with hydrating, conditioning, and softening properties. It helps homogenise and stabalise oil and water components that naturally separate.
Chlorella vulgaris is a form of green microalgae and is a rich source of carotenoids. In our formulas, we utilize this extract in two different forms.
First, it combines with a second microalgae, haematococcus pluvialis, to form a powerful DNA repairing enzyme active. The three enzymes (UVDE, OGG1, and TRX) function by enhancing both DNA repair and antioxidant systems to provide visible improvements in skin radiance, firmness and smoothness.
Secondly, specially derived from the cell wall of chlorella, is a prebiotic active that supports tissue repair and a balanced skin microbiome. Its comprehensive approach to skin integrity ensures visibly clear, resilient skin.
Cholesterol is an emollient and water-binding agent that can be found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. It plays an important role in having a healthy skin barrier and keeping the skin hydrated. Cholesterol makes up about 25% of the lipids between the skin cells of the stratum corneum.
