Hyaluronic Acid
Function: Hydrating, Humactant
Summary: The skin naturally contains hyaluronic acid, which aids in drawing in and holding onto moisture from its surroundings. Over a thousand times its weight in water can be bound by Hyaluronic Acid.
The depth of delivery in the skin is dependent on the molecule's size, hence many molecular sizes or weights are available. Larger HA molecules that have been topically administered rest on the skin's surface and sustain surface hydration. The epidermis of the skin can be penetrated by smaller HA molecules, which can deeply hydrate the skin. The elusive humectant hydration holy grail? a range of molecular masses.
Glycolic Acid
Function: Stabiliser, Humactant
Summary: These components support the stability of our products, increase the effectiveness of the preservatives utilised, and function as humectants to pull moisture to the skin and hold it there. These chemicals can now be naturally generated from plant sources, such as plant-based glycerin, as opposed to being all synthetically manufactured in the past.
Niacinamide
Function: Skin soother
Summary: It is also referred to as vitamin B3, which is crucial for healthy skin. Niacinamide, when applied topically, can aid in boosting the skin's natural moisture barrier, which lowers moisture loss and makes skin look healthier and more luminous. Sebum production may also be controlled, which will aid in the management of oily skin. It is a skin calming substance with a wide range of uses.
Polyglutamic Acid
Function: Skin Hydratror
Summary: A potent humectant, also referred to as a skin hydrator. When applied to the skin, it can aid in preserving sufficient moisture levels for skin that appears healthy and radiant.
Salicylic Acid
Function: Skin Hydratror
Summary: A potent humectant, also referred to as a skin hydrator. When applied to the skin, it can aid in preserving sufficient moisture levels for skin that appears healthy and radiant.
Retinol
Function: Anti-aging, promotes cell turnover
Summary: The retinoid family includes retinol. In the skin, retinol and its derivatives exist naturally. It is a type of vitamin A, and when used topically, it can aid in promoting the turnover of surface cells and even the complexion, paving the way for skin that is clearly healthier and more radiant. It's a powerful substance that can lessen the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
Some people could feel a minor irritability from it. To give the skin time to react, we advise introducing Retinol gradually (for example, every other day during the first week, and then two days every three days during the second week). We advise applying sunscreen and limiting exposure to the sun when using retinol because it makes skin more sensitive to the sun. As well
