The Benefits

Soothing

When your skin is sensitive or weakened due to genetics, skin conditions, using incorrect skincare products, or harsh weather, it needs extra care to repair and strengthening. Soothing ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties can reduce redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier, making it more resilient and protected against external aggressors.

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.

Softening

Skin softening transforms rough, dry, and uneven skin into a smoother, softer complexion by boosting hydration and nourishment. Increased hydration restores your skin's suppleness, while nourishing actives like lipids strengthen the skin barrier, smoothing out the dry surface and enhancing moisture retention. The result is silky soft, revitalised skin that looks and feels wonderfully smooth.

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.

Skin Renewing

Skin renewing, or skin cell turnover, is the process where old, dead skin cells are shed and replaced by new ones. In our early 20s, this cycle takes about 25-28 days. However, as we age and face external factors like sun exposure and pollution, this process slows down, leading to uneven skin tone and texture, congestion, dullness, flakiness, and wrinkles. Actives like retinoids (Vitamin A) and exfoliating acids can speed up this process, while proper hydration supports the skin's natural shedding, triggering the renewal cycle. By promoting skin cell turnover, your skin becomes smoother, brighter, clearer, and more youthful-looking.

Active Ingredients

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil has a similar oil composition to human sebum (oil) This similarity allows it to replenish the hydro-lipidic film and regulate sebum overproduction, without clogging pores or creating a greasy feel. When applied to the skin, Jojoba Oil can trick the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil, thereby reducing excessive oil production. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for congested, oily, and blemish-prone skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful oil-soluble antioxidant renowned for its excellent skin-protecting and replenishing properties. It helps prevent premature ageing by safeguarding skin cell membranes from damageing free radicals. Its nourishing qualities strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing resilience against environmental aggressors and improving water retention by reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Additionally, Vitamin E has soothing effect thanks to it anti-inflammatory properties.

Apricot Kernel Oil

Apricot kernel oil is used in skincare for its nourishing, soothing, and protective properties. It effectively restores the skin barrier, reducing water loss and promoting lasting hydration. Its lightweight texture ensures quick absorption, while natural vitamins A and E promote skin cell renewal, offering anti-ageing benefits. This versatile oil is ideal for maintaining smooth, healthy skin and rejuvenated complexion.
