Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C)
A water-soluble and more stable derivative of vitamin C in skincare, it provides a gentler alternative to traditional forms. Upon absorption into the skin, it converts into ascorbic acid, retaining all the potent benefits of pure vitamin C. This compound contributes to brightening and evening out skin tone while acting as an antioxidant to combat free radicals. When paired with niacinamide, a synergistic effect enhances its overall effectiveness. The gentle nature of Ascorbyl Glucoside, compared to L-ascorbic acid, makes it generally well-tolerated, even on sensitive skin. However, as with any active ingredient, a patch test is recommended when incorporating formulations containing Ascorbyl Glucoside into your skincare routine.

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.

Arginine
An amino acid renowned for its moisturising properties, it also boasts antioxidant traits. It plays a pivotal role in supporting skin cell regeneration and collagen synthesis, leading to enhanced skin elasticity and firmness. Its anti-inflammatory qualities further contribute to its widespread use in skincare formulations.
