Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.45% - 0.65% and acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.65% - 0.95%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 2.30% - 2.80% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
- Humectants (dextran 0.45% - 0.65%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.45% - 0.70%, saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.45% - 0.70%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 0.45% - 0.70%, saccharomyces/magnesium ferment 0.45% - 0.70%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 0.45% - 0.70%, panthenol 0.50% - 0.70%, glycerin 0.50% - 0.75%, saccharomyces/zinc ferment 1.20% - 1.40%, saccharomyces/silicon ferment 0.95% - 1.15%, saccharomyces/magnesium ferment 1.40% - 1.70%, saccharomyces/iron ferment 1.60% - 1.90%, saccharomyces/copper ferment 0.75% - 1.10%, panthenol 2.30% - 2.80% and dextran 0.60% - 0.95%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
About the brand
According to Cruelty-Free Kitty "bareMinerals" is cruelty free, but its parent company is not.
Moisturizing
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
dextran, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: squalane, ribes nigrum seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-3, panthenol
An oil naturally present in skin. Works as an emollient to soften the skin and form a protective layer on its surface without a greasy feeling.

Anti-aging

Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - acetyl tetrapeptide-3 - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
