Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract)
This remarkable berry, rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C and A, boasts an astonishing vitamin C content nine times higher than that of citrus fruits. This abundance of vitamin C contributes to brightening and evening out skin tone, while the presence of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene aids in smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. By combating free radicals, these antioxidants shield the skin from environmental stressors, ensuring its protection. It is also packed with omega-6 and omega-7 fatty acids that fortify the skin barrier, enhancing hydration and moisture retention.
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii)
Derived from the seeds of the shea tree, it is a skin-loving extract. Abundant in oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, it effortlessly penetrates the skin, providing deep hydration and combating dryness. With its high fatty acid content, shea butter proves to be a remarkably moisturising agent. Its non-comedogenic nature ensures pore-friendly hydration, making it suitable for all skin types. Enriched with vitamins A and E, shea butter delivers antioxidant protection, shielding the skin from free radicals. The cinnamic acid within shea butter actively supports collagen production, fostering skin elasticity and contributing to the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Phytosphingosine
A fundamental component of ceramides, it is naturally present in the outermost layer of the skin, as well as in various plants and animals. Its primary function involves reinforcing the skin’s barrier and restoring ceramide levels, thereby preventing moisture loss. It exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it particularly beneficial for soothing and addressing concerns associated with irritated and acne-prone skin. With its soothing and hydrating properties, phytosphingosine synergises effectively with other barrier-reinforcing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
Ceramides
Essential lipids found in skin cells; they constitute up to 50% of the epidermis. While natural ceramides are less stable than synthetic counterparts, both play a crucial role in supporting the skin barrier. This protective layer minimises moisture loss, fostering a firmer and plumper complexion. Suitable for all skin types, ceramides synergise effectively with other skin-repair ingredients such as niacinamide, retinol, and peptides.
