Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.55% - 1.30%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
  • Peptides (hexapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.65%, tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.65%, pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.60%, hexapeptide-11 0.35% - 0.75% and copper tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.80%). 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.
  • Adenosine 0.05% - 0.20%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.00% - 1.50%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.50% - 1.20%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (hexapeptide-9 0.15% - 0.65%, betaine 0.10% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.40% - 0.95%, panthenol 1.00% - 1.50%, glycerin 1.60% - 2.40% and pitera 23.00% - 34.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
