  • - + Regenerating
  • - + Nourishing
  • - + Repairing
  • - + Skin Barrier Strengthening
  • - + Anti-Redness
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.

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.

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.

  • - + Skin Barrier Strengthening
  • - + Anti-Redness
Skin Barrier Strengthening

Strengthening your skin barrier involves replenishing the key elements in the top layer of your skin (stratum corneum), leading to a stronger and healthier barrier. These essential elements include lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol) and Natural Moisturizing Factors (amino acids, hyaluronic acid, etc.). Various factors, such as incorrect skincare use, seasonal changes, and aesthetic treatments, can damage your skin barrier. When this happens, your skin loses excess water through Trans Epidermal Water Loss (T.E.W.L) and becomes less capable of defending against environmental stressors, resulting in dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.

A healthy skin barrier is crucial for overall skin health as it helps prevent hydration loss, protects against environmental damage, and reduces the risk of skin conditions like eczema and acne. By strengthening your skin barrier, you ensure your skin remains well-hydrated, resilient, and protected.

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.

  • - + Yeast Extract
  • - + Complex of Raspberry Seed Oil & Vitamin E
  • - + Soybean Phospholipids
  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Yeast Extract

Yeast is composed of Salts, Carbohydrates, Lipids & Vitamins offering many different benefits. Yeast's main role is to sebum (oil) regulate and balance the skin, without overly stripping it, by offering a detoxifying action at the cellular level. The result is a more mattified, brighter and clearer skin.

  • - + Complex of Raspberry Seed Oil & Vitamin E
  • - + Soybean Phospholipids
  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Complex of Raspberry Seed Oil & Vitamin E

The combination of Raspberry Seed Oil and Vitamin E is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids, providing strong regenerative benefits for both the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and the dermis (the layer beneath the epidermis).This complex stimulates the skin's repair process, helping to rebuild supportive tissue and speed up healing. As a result, the skin barrier becomes stronger, and the skin is better able to retain moisture, improving overall hydration

  • - + Soybean Phospholipids
  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Soybean Phospholipids

Soybean Phospholipids form a protective film on the surface of the skin, allowing the skin to be protected and to retain moisture. Furthermore, this ingredient also helps to restructure and repair cell membranes, allowing the reparation of damaged skin.

  • - + Complex of Raspberry Seed Oil & Vitamin E
  • - + Soybean Phospholipids
  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Luffa Oil

Luffa Oil is supremely nourishing and repairing. It has a natural composition of 72% polyunsaturated fatty acids, of which 62% are essential fatty acids. This fatty acid content type is close to that of our body's and therefore restores the normal lipidic (oily) state of dry skins, and rebuilds enough oils to replenish optimal barrier function.

  • - + Complex of Raspberry Seed Oil & Vitamin E
  • - + Soybean Phospholipids
  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Biomimetic Peptide

Biomimetic Peptide is a compound derived from Thymopoietin, a hormone associated with youth. As we age, our production of this hormone decreases, leading to visible signs of ageing. Biomimetic Peptide mimics the effects of Thymopoietin, physiologically stimulating the regeneration of new, stronger skin similar to that of younger individuals. This results in denser, more resilient skin, reducing the appearance of ageing.

  • - + Luffa Oil
  • - + Biomimetic Peptide
  • - + Carob Seed Extract
Carob Seed Extract

Carob Seed Extract triggers the recovery and reparation of skin tissue. Epidermal and dermal reconstruction is accelerated by the production of myofibroblasts and growth factors. Therefore, the skins' capacity and capability to repair damaged skin is increased and accelerated.

Understanding Psoriasis, Eczema and Keratinised Skin Conditions

Psoriasis, eczema and keratinised skin are chronic skin conditions that require specialised skincare approaches. Psoriasis involves rapid skin cell turnover, leading to red, scaly patches, while eczema results in inflamed, itchy and dry skin, often triggered by allergens or irritants. Keratinised skin, such as in keratosis pilaris, occurs when excess keratin clogs hair follicles, causing rough, bumpy patches. Skincare for these conditions focuses on reducing inflammation, soothing irritation and improving hydration. Gentle cleansers, moisturisers with ingredients like ceramides, and AHA or BHA exfoliants like salicylic acid can help manage symptoms, while avoiding harsh products is key to preventing flare-ups.
