KEY ACTIVES

Piceid

Piceid inhibits melanin production, giving rise to a skin brightening effect. It also helps to slow the degradation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid and reduce skin sagging.

DL-Panthenol

DL-Panthenol improves the appearance of the skin by addressing skin dryness and roughness. Its moisturising properties help to intensely hydrate the outermost layer of the epidermis and reduce trans-epidermal water loss to maintain skin elasticity and softness.

Chamomile extract

This extract has soothing properties best for sensitive skin.

Magnolia extract

This extract helps to minimise skin irritations and restores radiance to dull skin.

Licorice extract

This extract has anti-inflammatory properties and helps to interrupt the stimulation of enzymes which activate melanin production. It effectively lightens dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Beta glucan

This compound activates collagen synthesis and speeds up the healing of damaged tissues. It repairs the damage caused to skin by exposure to UV rays, chemicals and pollutants.

Wine extract (non-alcoholic)

This non-alcoholic compound is extracted from the skin of the Campbell Early grape variety and is high in anti-oxidants. It prevents free radical damage and encourages cell growth.

Scutellaria baicalensis root extract

Scutellaria baicalensis root extract works as an effective anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-allergen. It is a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase activity and helps to prevent the formation of melanin, effectively brightening the skin. It helps to prevent damage caused by UV rays. It also stops skin cell senescence by restoring the telomere length of their chromosomes. This helps to slow the process of skin aging and prevent skin dullness.

Tulipa Gesneriana Phytoplacenta Extract

This extract helps to enhance cell metabolism and oxygenation to renew and rejuvenate the skin. It also strengthens the skin structure by helping in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, resulting in more radiant, healthier skin. Finally, it acts as a powerful humectant to boost the skin’s ability to retain moisture, giving rise to smoother and more supple looking skin.

Nonapeptide-11

Nonapeptide-11 stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in order to combat the formation of sagging skin. This helps to rebuild diminished skin elasticity and firmness for more radiant, youthful looking skin.
