Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (2.10% - 3.20%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
  • Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.30% - 1.90% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.50% - 2.30%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
  • Humectants (sodium lactate 0.15% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.50% - 1.10%, sodium hyaluronate 0.60% - 1.40%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 1.00% - 1.50% and glycerin 1.80% - 2.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
