Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.55%). 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 (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%). 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 0.25% - 0.45%. 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).
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - asiatic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, madecassic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, madecassoside 0.25% - 0.45% and asiaticoside 0.20% - 0.40% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage. They can also help to decrease scarring.
  • Humectants (sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.25% - 0.45%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, panthenol 0.35% - 0.60% and glycerin 3.10% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
