![]() Ceramides help fill in the spaces between skin cells, giving them elasticity, and play a critical role in strengthening the skin barrier by helping to maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss. Thioctic Acid: A potent skin-calming ingredient that boosts the effectiveness and stability of vitamin C while providing additional antioxidant defense against UV-generated free radical damage.Įrgothioneine: Derived from mushrooms, it is used for its powerful skin-soothing benefits.ĥ-Ceramide Blend: Ceramides AP, NP, EOP, NS, and EOS are derived from plant sources and are identical to the wax-like moisturizing ceramides that occur naturally in skin. Virgin Marula Oil: This super-absorbable oil, high in critical antioxidants and omegas 6 and 9, helps moisturize, nourish, and rejuvenate skin for a youthful glow.Ĭhia Seed Oil: Soothing, moisturizing plant oil that is naturally rich in omega fatty acids and antioxidant carotenoids and phenolic compounds.Ĭucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil: Contains high amounts of omega fatty acids, antioxidant carotenoids (responsible for the orange pigment in fruits and vegetables), and beta-carotene.įermented Green Tea Seed Oil: Derived from the fermentation of green tea seed oil, this ingredient is used for its moisturizing, antioxidant, and soothing properties.įerulic Acid: Has protective antioxidant benefits, particularly against UV-generated free radicals, and helps improve the stability of ingredients like vitamin C. ![]() Tocotrienols: Used for their potent antioxidant properties, skin-soothing abilities, and moisture content, tocotrienols are a powerful, concentrated form of vitamin E. Research has demonstrated that niacinamide, even in low concentrations, can help strengthen a compromised skin barrier, boost skin’s synthesis of ceramides and cholesterol-both essential substances in barrier health and elasticity-and improve skin’s defenses against water loss. Niacinamide: Aka vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture. Triple-Antioxidant Brightening Complex: Phloretin, glutathione, and diglucosyl gallic acid work together to normalize areas of excess melanin production, reduce hyperpigmentation (those pink or red marks left over after a breakout), and enhance the penetration of actives like azelaic acid. Because of its exfoliation benefits, it also enhances the penetration and absorption of other ingredients. ![]() This unique combination of abilities allows salicylic acid to improve concerns like texture and tone as well as help unclog pores. Research has demonstrated that azelaic acid, at a 10% concentration, can help improve multiple types of discolorations-both those that occur due to sun damage as well as postbreakout red or brown marks-and has mild exfoliation properties.ġ% Salicylic Acid: This beta hydroxy acid exfoliates the surface of skin, and because it is oil soluble, it is able to penetrate to exfoliate the pores, too. 10% Azelaic Acid: Derived from barley, azelaic acid (aka dicarboxylic acid) is used for its powerful skin-soothing and brightening benefits.
