Phospholipids

Phospholipids in our serum act as skin-identical molecules to improve hydration, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and offer a cooling effect on the skin. By boosting the penetration and bioavailability of other actives, Phospholipids ensure that your skin receives maximum benefits for a smoother and more supple complexion. 

Phospholipids

• Support for Lipid Barrier Function:  As skin-identical molecules, phospholipids work in harmony with the skin’s natural lipids, strengthening the overall lipid barrier. This is crucial in protecting the skin from external aggressors, improving resilience, and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
• Hydration Enhancement: Improves skin hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and forming a protective barrier.
• Actives Booster: Enhances the bioavailability of other active ingredients, ensuring deeper penetration for maximum efficacy.
• Cooling Effect: Soothes and cools the skin, offering relief from irritation while improving moisture retention.

Blue Green Algae

• Retinoid-like Action: Promotes cell regeneration and repair without the side effects of retinoids, improving skin smoothness and density.
• Nutrient-Rich:   Found in a very special source of water with highly unique nutritional properties, Blue-Green Algae offers outstanding nutritional compositions and high concentrations of B vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements.
• Skin Smoothing: Helps to differentiate keratinocytes, smoothing the epidermis and enhancing skin texture.

Saccharide Isomerate

• Deep Hydration:  A deeply moisturizing, plant-derived ingredient based on its unique composition which is similar to that of the carbohydrate complex found in human skin and on its unique ability to bind to skin cells, providing instant hydration that lasts for up to 72 hours.
• Barrier Strengthening: Enhances the skin’s barrier function and stimulates genes that improve the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
• Moisture Reservoir: Creates a lasting moisture reservoir, ensuring skin stays hydrated and resilient.

Kakadu Plum SuperFruit

• Antioxidant Defense: Acts as a powerful free radical scavenger, protecting skin from oxidative stress.
• Collagen Stimulation: Encourages the production of pro-collagen I and hyaluronic acid for firmer, plumper skin.
• Increased Vitamin C Absorption:   Boosts the production of a special vitamin C transporter in skin cells, helping your skin absorb more vitamin C for better brightness and protection.

Sea Kelp Bio Ferment 

• Rich in Essential Nutrients: Contains iodine, minerals, and antioxidants that protect the skin from harmful UV rays, pollution, and free radicals, defending against daily environmental stressors.
• Boosts Elasticity and Reduces Wrinkles: Helps maintain skin elasticity while reducing the appearance of wrinkles by supporting the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production.
• Deep Moisturization: High mineral content and fatty acids hydrate and lock in moisture, strengthening the skin’s barrier and preventing water loss (TEWL), keeping the skin soft and smooth.
• Detoxifying and Clarifying: Draws out toxins, excess fluids, dead skin cells, and bacteria, reducing puffiness and dullness to promote a clearer, more radiant complexion.
• Brightens Skin Tone: Helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin looking brighter and more even.
• Anti-Aging Powerhouse: The collagen and peptides found in sea kelp stimulate cell renewal, reduce wrinkle depth, and protect the skin’s amino acids, supporting youthful, glowing skin.
