Peptides
Composed of short chains of amino acids, it serves as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. With hundreds of variations, peptides offer diverse benefits for the skin. For instance, copper peptide and octa-peptide promote collagen and elastin production, while penta-peptides target the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. When formulated thoughtfully, all peptides exhibit skin-restoring properties. For optimal effectiveness, peptides thrive in the company of other exceptional ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and ceramides. The synergy of these elements enhances overall skincare outcomes. For further insights on Peptides, delve into our Incredible Ingredients page.
Amino Acids
A skincare essential, amino acids serve as the fundamental components of proteins. While your skin naturally produces amino acids, incorporating them into your skincare routine topically can enhance hydration, foster cellular repair, and boost collagen synthesis. Particularly effective in addressing fine lines and wrinkles, amino acids yield optimal results when combined with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Look for key amino acids such as arginine, lysine, proline, histidine, glycine, and leucine in formulations, as they offer a myriad of skincare benefits.

Sodium PCA
The sodium salt of PCA (pyrrolidone carboxylic acid), it is a natural amino acid derivative that occurs naturally in the skin. Its high biocompatibility makes it an ideal skincare ingredient. Acting as a potent humectant, Sodium PCA excels in drawing and retaining moisture in the skin’s upper layers, contributing to a rejuvenated and youthful complexion. Often combined with other humectants such as hyaluronic acid, it synergistically boosts the effectiveness of additional active ingredients. This versatile compound is suitable for all skin types, providing hydration and support for overall skin health.
Sodium Hyaluronate
The salt form of hyaluronic acid, it is often used interchangeably with hyaluronic acid on cosmetic labels. While both share beneficial components, sodium hyaluronate stands out as a more stable and bioavailable ingredient. Its remarkable capacity to attract and retain moisture—up to 1000 times its weight—makes it a potent humectant. Combating dryness, it aids the skin in retaining moisture, ultimately smoothing the complexion and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its gentle nature allows for use on all skin types.
