An essential for those who need oil regulation and balancing, along with barrier repair to provide a rejuvenated, calm and balanced complexion from the outside in.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), a go-to for oil regulation. It regulates sebum production, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. It strengthens the epidermal barrier by increasing ceramide synthesis, which helps retain moisture and prevent water loss. Niacinamide also inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing redness, inflammation, and the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
White Willow Bark contains salicin, a natural salicylic acid precursor (AHA), which promotes gentle exfoliation by increasing cell turnover and clearing clogged pores. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, calming redness and irritation, and providing a soothing effect for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
Licorice Root Extract is rich in glabridin, which inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, responsible for melanin production. This helps to brighten dark spots and even skin tone. Its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and irritation, supporting the repair of compromised skin barriers.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin, improving hydration and preventing water loss. It enhances the barrier function by stimulating skin regeneration and promoting faster wound healing. B5 also has a sebum-regulating effect, balancing oil production to prevent clogged pores.
Sclerotium (Mushroom) Gum forms a protective film on the skin, improving moisture retention and creating a hydrating barrier. It enhances skin smoothness and elasticity, while preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), which helps maintain long-lasting hydration.
Lactobacillus Ferment supports the skin microbiome by promoting beneficial bacterial growth, which helps regulate the skin’s pH and improve its natural defenses. It enhances the skin’s barrier function, protecting against harmful microorganisms and environmental stressors, while also reducing inflammation and promoting overall skin health.
Coconut Fruit Extract is rich in medium-chain fatty acids that have both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These fatty acids help nourish and hydrate the skin, while improving the skin’s barrier function by maintaining moisture levels and protecting against environmental damage. Coconut fruit extract provides all the benefits of coconut oil, without the comedogenic consequences.
Aspen Bark contains tremulacin, which acts as a mild astringent, tightening and toning the skin while reducing inflammation. It strengthens the skin’s defensive barrier, helps calm irritation, and promotes overall skin health by stimulating collagen production.
