INGREDIENTS A-Z

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

SOURCE

Synthetic

CATEGORY

Synthetic • Natural • Naturally-Derived • Biotechnological/Fermentation • Fermentation

WHAT IT DOES

An oil-soluble, exceptionally stable Vitamin C ester that can absorb faster and penetrate further into the skin because the fatty acids have a greater affinity to the skin. There they act together with vitamin E (tocopherol), which naturally occurs in the skin to target the skin's underlying support system via a different pathway than water-soluble ascorbic acid.
A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and migrates the effects of UV exposure.
Boosts collagen production to reduce lines and wrinkles, and skin sagging. 
Effectively brightens dull, uneven skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (pigment production) and reduces dark spots and discolorations. It repairs the effects of UV exposure, demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects in acne, and visibly improves enlarged pores and texture.

Tranexamic Acid

SOURCE

CATEGORY

Synthetic • Natural • Naturally-Derived • Biotechnological/Fermentation • Fermentation

WHAT IT DOES

Fades discolorations, including stubborn dark spots and gray patches, help to reduce sensitivity-induced redness in the skin.
Also suitable for melasma-prone skin and rivals the results of over-the-counter concentrations of hydroquinone.

25% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (thd)

SOURCE

Synthetic

CATEGORY

Synthetic • Natural • Naturally-Derived • Biotechnological/Fermentation • Fermentation

WHAT IT DOES

A high dose of oil-soluble, exceptionally stable Vitamin C ester that can absorb faster and penetrate further into the skin because the fatty acids have a greater affinity to the skin. There they act together with vitamin E (tocopherol), which naturally occurs in the skin to target the skin's underlying support system via a different pathway than water-soluble ascorbic acid.
A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and migrates the effects of UV exposure.
Boosts collagen production to reduce lines and wrinkles, and skin sagging. 
Effectively brightens dull, uneven skin by inhibiting melanogenesis (pigment production), reducing stubborn dark spots, discoloration, and post-acne hyperpigmentation. It repairs the effects of UV exposure, demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects in acne, and visibly improves enlarged pores and texture.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate

SOURCE

Synthetic

CATEGORY

Synthetic • Natural • Naturally-Derived • Biotechnological/Fermentation • Fermentation

WHAT IT DOES

Tetrasodium glutamate diacetate helps to bind and remove heavy metal ions, such as iron and copper, from the formula, improving stability and preventing discoloration. It can also enhance the effectiveness of preservatives.

Tridecane

SOURCE

Coconut Oil, Botanical Oil

CATEGORY

Synthetic • Natural • Naturally-Derived • Biotechnological/Fermentation • Fermentation

WHAT IT DOES

Tridecane is a natural emollient and solvent: It has a lightweight texture and is easily absorbed into your skin and it also enhances the spreadability and texture of products, helping them to glide smoothly over your skin.
