The Benefits

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.

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing involves maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on your skin. Your skin's microbiome is crucial for protecting against pathogens, regulating pH, maintaining a healthy barrier, and ensuring optimal hydration. A balanced microbiome leads to clearer, healthier skin that’s more resilient to irritation and inflammation. Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are key ingredients that support a healthy microbiome. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, prebiotics fuel the growth of good bacteria and help balance pH, and postbiotics enhance hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. This combination helps your skin stay healthy and vibrant.

Complexion-Evening (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Anti-Redness

Anti-Redness skincare is all about reducing and preventing facial or body redness, which can result from irritation, skin conditions, compromised barriers, and hormonal changes. A targeted approach with multiple strategies works best for tackling redness. Anti-Redness formulations include active ingredients that soothe and strengthen your skin barrier. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties calm inflammation and protect against environmental irritants. Additionally, these ingredients have vasoconstrictive properties, meaning they reduce blood vessel dilation to lessen redness. Together, these actions help achieve a more even-toned, balanced complexion that's less prone to redness flare-ups.

Purifying

Purifying your skin means removing impurities, reducing excess oil, and deep cleansing to minimise a greasy or shiny appearance and prevent breakouts. This process leaves your skin clearer, more balanced, and looking fresh.

Regenerating

Regenerative benefits work to restore and renew your skin at a cellular level. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, they help repair damage, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The result is a rejuvenated, firmer, and more youthful complexion that radiates vitality.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

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.

Anti-PIH (Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation)

Anti-PIH treatments target Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), which shows up as dark marks after inflammation or injury, like acne. These skincare products help heal the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote regeneration while blocking melanin production. This helps fade and prevent dark marks effectively.

Active Ingredients

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Panthenol, also known as Pro-vitamin B5, is a potent humectant renowned for its exceptional hydrating, repairing, and soothing qualities. When applied to the skin, Panthenol converts to Coenzyme A, an enzyme crucial for skin regeneration. Its versatile benefits and compatibility with all skin types make Panthenol a preferred choice for replenishing and fortifying dehydrated and compromised skin.

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)

Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid or Sodium Hyaluronate, is a salt form of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Sodium Hyaluronate has a low molecular size (<70 kDa), which allows it to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. Sodium Hyaluronate has superior hydrating and skin-plumping benefits. Increased skin hydration also contributes to efficient natural skin exfoliation, supporting the skin's natural renewal cycle.

Helichrysum Water

Helichrysum Water, derived from the bright yellow Helichrysum flower, is a versatile ingredient beneficial for all skin types. It helps reduce redness, promote healing, and balance blemish-prone skin due to its anti-inflammatory, purifying, and astringent (tightening) properties. Rich in antioxidants, it also lightens dark spots, unifies the complexion, and protects cells from free radical damage.

Saccharide Isomerate (PENTAVITINÆ)

Saccharide Isomerate, also known as PentavitinÆ, is a carbohydrate complex derived from plants that closely resembles the natural carbohydrates found in human skin. It serves multiple functions in skincare: first, it acts as a prebiotic, supporting a healthy balance of microorganisms on the skin's surface, which is crucial for maintaining skin health.

Secondly, Saccharide Isomerate functions as a powerful humectant. This means it attracts moisture from the environment and binds it to the skin, acting like a "water magnet." This ability helps to deeply hydrate the skin, making it appear plump, smooth, and intensely moisturised.

Studies have shown that Saccharide Isomerate can increase skin hydration levels for up to 72 hours after application, making it an effective ingredient for providing long-lasting hydration and maintaining skin moisture balance.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a natural plant derivative, widely used in skincare for its soothing, hydrating, softening and healing properties.

Sodium PCA

Sodium PCA (Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid) is a Natural Moisturising Factor found in our skin. It acts as a powerful humectant, attracting and retaining hydration in the skin.

Organic White Wine

Organic White Wine from Sicily, provides hydrating and protective antioxidant benefits. It reinforces the skin's environmental protection and promotes cellular renewal for healthy and supple looking skin.

The Importance Of Hydration

Hydration is vital for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. Properly hydrated skin retains moisture, which helps maintain its elasticity, plumpness and natural barrier function. This barrier protects against environmental stressors like pollution and bacteria while preventing moisture loss. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, can become dry, flaky and prone to irritation, fine lines and breakouts. In skincare, using hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane and ceramides can help lock in moisture, keeping the skin balanced and supple. Using moisturisers consistently is essential for promoting long-term skin health and resilience.
