The Benefits

Nourishing

Nourishing skincare focuses on providing a deeply comforting, soothing, and softening experience with richer product formats. Ingredients like oils and ceramides nourish your skin barrier, replenishing essential lipids and hydration to boost resilience and suppleness. These formulas leave your skin feeling nurtured and instantly improve rough texture. Well-nourished skin is less prone to dryness, dehydration, and sensitivity, giving you a more radiant and healthy appearance.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Ageing (Senescence)

The advancement in anti-ageing skincare now enables us to combat cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active, continuing processes like protein synthesis. This means that while these cells no longer contribute to tissue renewal, they still engage in metabolic activities, producing proteins and other molecules that can affect the surrounding tissue. Skin senescence is triggered by factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, DNA damage, inflammation, and genetic predisposition. Over time, the accumulation of these senescent cells accelerates ageing by secreting harmful compounds that cause inflammation and damage surrounding tissues and cells. Innovative technologies in anti-ageing skincare can now target cellular senescence using advanced actives to inhibit senescence-associated markers and promote cell regeneration. By regenerating skin cells, these products reduce visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration, while enhancing skin resilience and overall health.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protective products offer strong protection against harmful UV radiation. They create a defensive barrier on your skin, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, and DNA damage from sun exposure. These products help reduce the risk of photoageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while also supporting your skin’s natural repair processes to minimize the impact of any existing sun damage.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Active Ingredients

Golden Seaweed Extract

Golden Seaweed naturally lives in highly stressful environments which contributes to its resilience and powerful cell DNA protecting properties. This multi-benefit ingredient soothes the skin by reducing inflammation while simultaneously increasing natural Hyaluronic Acid production and improving barrier function. Skin is left calm, hydrated and protected.

Rice Bran Oil

Rice Bran Oil contains high concentrations of Phytosterols and Fatty Acids (Omegas 3&6), which can aid in the skin anti-ageing process by combatting free radicals. It also contains high levels of Vitamin E, Phytosterols and Ferulic Acid which also offer a very strong antioxidant action. Lastly, it is an extremely thin oil which is also deeply nourishing, providing suppleness and softness to the skin.

Anti-Glycation Complex

The Anti-Glycation Complex features Carnosine, a peptide with potent anti-glycation properties. Glycation is a crystallisation of collagen and elastin fibres, making them rigid and unable to operate, resulting in the skin's premature ageing. The action of carnosine is supercharged by two antioxidants: Sylimarine and Vitamin E, protecting the skin from free radicals and preventing premature cellular skin ageing.

Karanja Oil

Karanja Oil has strong nourishing, photo-protective and antioxidant properties, helping to shield the skin cells from harmful free radicals induced by UV and other environmental factors. Additionally, it helps to prevent lipid oxidation which can manifest in brownish/yellowish pigment on the skin. Its nourishing action ensures the skin barrier is healthy and resilient against external stressors as well as keeping hydration locked in.

Pink Coralline Extract

Pink Coralline Extract has the unique ability to protect the skin from heat-emitted infrared radiation, which is known to stimulate the MMP enzyme. This enzyme can degrade collagen overtime, resulting in a lesser plumped and toned skin. Pink Coraline Extract helps to preserve the skin's tightness.

Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide

Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide are physical (mineral) sunscreen filters. They protect the skin against UVA (Ageing) and UVB (Burning) rays from the sun. They have high photo-stability, are FDA approved and non-irritating, making them preferred choices for sensitive skins and for post-aesthetic treatments. They work by creating a protective shield on the skin that reflects UV rays, directing the rays away from the skin.
