MULTI- LAMELLAR CERAMIDES:
The next generation of Multi Lamellar Ceramides mixes the essential ceramide types (NP, EOP, AP), which combines the known efficacy of Ceramides, Phytosphingosine, vegetable cholesterol, and free fatty acids with a modern multi-lamellar structure based on polyglycerinesters as an advanced, green emulsifier.
Due to the identical skin lipid composition, the multi-lamellar system resembles the structure of the lipid barrier in Stratum Corneum (top layer of the epidermis), preventing and restoring skin barrier damage and increasing skin moisturization. It improves the general skin condition by reducing roughness and increasing skin evenness and homogeneity. It's highly effective and ideal for treating aging, dry, or sensitive skin. It improves the skin texture, leading to a more even skin tone.
AZELAIC ACID:
Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid. It provides antibacterial and comedolytic effects.
It helps to stop the growth of skin bacteria that cause acne and keep the skin pores clean. Azelaic acid is also a reversible tyrosinase inhibitor, delivering whitening effects to the skin without undesirable side effects. It is hypoallergenic, anti-inflammatory, controls sebum secretion, and prevents hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. Lightens and evens out the skin tone. Plant-derived, micronized, antibacterial, anti-keratinization, and anti-comedogenic.
Azelaic acid can diminish the appearance of blemishes, such as post-breakout marks and other discolorations. It helps refine the skin's surface to reveal a more even tone. It has skin-soothing benefits and can even reduce sensitivity that leads to redness.
Neutralizing free radicals with azelaic acid can lower inflammation.
Specific skin cells make pigment when you expose your skin to sunlight. That pigment may show up as dark patches, called hyperpigmentation. Azelaic acid can block the process and prevent dark patches from showing up.
ASTAXANTHIN:
A naturally occurring reddish pigment derived from microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is considered the most potent natural antioxidant without any pro-oxidative nature and highly efficient at counteracting reactive oxygen molecules. Besides its antioxidative potential, it has excellent anti-inflammatory properties.
It has been shown to improve overall skin health and counteract aging by providing comprehensive protection against oxidative degradation. Positive effects were demonstrated, particularly concerning elasticity, moisture retention, age spots, wrinkle depth, and skin texture. Astaxanthin improves skin elasticity by strengthening collagen and revitalizing stressed skin by removing free radicals in all dermal layers. It can restore the skin's natural antioxidant balance and protect cell membranes against lipid peroxidation.
PANTHENOL:
Improves skin hydration by attracting water molecules; also has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin. A perfect hydrating ingredient, also known as provitamin B5, it attracts and retains moisture, increasing skin hydration while decreasing trans epidermal water loss.
GMOD™ COMPLEX:
Helps moisturize skin surface and depth and increase suppleness and resistance.
Stimulates hyaluronic neosynthesis and sustains its turnover.
Improves skin elasticity, firmness, and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging: Providing complete 360° rejuvenation by increasing the expression of youth proteins.
Provides a multi-dimensional photo-aging defense and detoxifies cells.

SHEA BUTTER:
Butyrospermum parkii, this plant lipid extracted from the karite tree, is used as an emollient, and its surface smoothing properties for dry skin. Shea butter doesn't just have a rich texture; it's also a rich source of Vitamin E, antioxidants, including quercetin, epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, as well as skin-replenishing fatty acids (stearic and linoleic). They protect against dryness and soothe irritations.
ALLANTOIN:
Anti-inflammatory with great calming benefits on the skin: soothes, protects, cleans, heals, and promotes cell regeneration.
Perfect as a balancer for resurfacing ingredients.
BISABOLOL:
Extract of candeia tree bark rich in bisabolol, originating from Brazil.
Soothes the irritation resulting in melanin overproduction, which causes uneven hyperpigmentation. Controls the transduction signal triggering melanogenesis by inhibiting melanin formation induced by an MSH-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, which is secreted by keratinocytes exposed to UV radiation.
BOTANICAL OILS
:
Jojoba seed oil: An emollient extracted from the seeds of a perennial shrub is a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. It enhances the skin's restorative properties and provides topical skin-soothing benefits. The texture of Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) seed oil is similar to the sebum (oil) human skin produces, which makes it a brilliant ingredient for dry skin. Moisturizing the skin in two ways: Mixed with skin sebum, it forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; and it soaks into the skin through pores and hair follicles, then diffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple.
Rosehip oil: Rosehip oil is a natural moisturizing and nourishing oil: It is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that help to hydrate and protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals. Rosehip oil can improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
BOTANICAL WAXES:
The combination of Jojoba, Mimosa and Sunflower wax form a natural texturizing agent. They form a soft, smooth film on your skin, that protects from dehydration. Reduce transepidermal water loss, moisturize and improve appearance of skin surface. Provide a comfortable skin feel that lasts throughout the day.
UREA:
Urea belongs to the skins natural moisturizing factor with extreme moisturizing properties. It is a humectant, thus it helps to retain moisture in your skin and prevent dehydration. Urea also helps to soften and break down rough or thickened skin.
VITAMIN E:
Promotes skin health and hydration and helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Occurs naturally in human skin, is a potent natural antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals, and protects against photo-aging.
Has wrinkle smoothing emollient properties when applied topically and can penetrate the skin to impart lasting moisture. It also promotes a stronger skin moisture barrier—a key characteristic of smooth, healthy-looking skin.
It increases the skin's capacity to retain water, effectively preventing dehydrated skin. By limiting trans-epidermal water loss, vitamin E also helps keep the natural moisture barrier intact.
SQUALANE:
An emollient: Provides hydration, helps prevent moisture loss, and restores suppleness. Acts as an antioxidant and strengthens the skin barrier. Has a smoothing effect on lines and wrinkles.
It's biocompatible, meaning the skin instantly recognizes it and how to use it.
