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.

Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3, it stands out as a powerhouse ingredient in skincare. Its remarkable properties extend to regulating oil production, which effectively unclogs pores and diminishes the appearance of enlarged pores. Its anti-inflammatory attributes and ability to regulate sebum make it invaluable for individuals grappling with acne, as it aids in reducing breakout severity and enhancing overall skin condition. Niacinamide’s versatility also contributes to improving skin tone, repairing skin damage, and fortifying the skin’s protective barrier against moisture loss and dehydration.

Gluconolactone
As a type of polyhydroxy acid (PHA), it shares similarities with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) but boasts a larger molecular structure, limiting its ability to deeply penetrate skin layers. This characteristic allows for gentle surface exfoliation, ideal for sensitive skin types. It also exhibits antioxidant properties and provides moisturisation to the skin. Its low potential for skin irritation permits daytime use, unlike AHAs and BHAs. However, consistent sunscreen application remains essential for comprehensive skin protection.
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.
