Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (lactobionic acid 0.45% - 0.70%, mandelic acid 0.45% - 0.70% and glycolic acid 0.45% - 0.70%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). PHAs (lactobionic acid) especially are great for improving skin hydration. They might be even able to stimulate the production of skin's natural humectants and support the healthy skin microbiome.
  • Peptides (n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.40% - 0.65%). 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.
  • We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this product (0.60% - 0.90%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
  • Humectants (urea 9.50% - 11.60%, sodium hyaluronate 0.45% - 0.70%, hydrolyzed yeast extract 0.45% - 0.65%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.45% - 0.70%, glycerin 1.80% - 2.20% and arginine 0.45% - 0.65%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
