Skin Benefits of Key Ingredients
Squalane:
Enhances skin elasticity
Hydrating the skin and making it more vibrant and healthier
Excellent natural emollient that smoothes and softens skin
Promoting a youthful appearance and fighting skin damage and free radicals
Alleviating the appearance of temporary redness and inflammation
May help eczema
Softening and smoothing the skin and supporting its natural barrier
Aloe:
Fading Dark Spots (Hyperpigmentation): Dark spots on the skin, whether from sun exposure, acne, or aging, can be stubborn. However, aloesin, a compound in aloe vera, can help lighten hyperpigmentation. Studies show that topical application of aloesin inhibits melanin production, reducing dark spots. Moisturizing and Hydrating: Aloe vera’s innermost layer contains abundant water, making it an excellent hydrator. It also contains mucopolysaccharides, which help retain moisture in the skin. Aloe stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin fibers, essential for maintaining hydrated, firm, and supple skin. These components naturally decline with age.
Glycolic Acid:
Improved moisture retention by increasing skin levels of hyaluronic acid
Exfoliating properties that remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin
Skin brightening by reducing pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Encouragement of new skin cell growth by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin
Skin repair and regeneration by increasing fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation rates
Acetyl Hexapeptide-1:
As melanin not only gives the skin its nice, tanned color but also works as a natural protection factor, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1, aka Melitane does the same. It not only boosts a natural or an artificial tan but gives extra protection against UV-induced DNA and free radical damage and protects the skin against UV-caused redness. Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It promotes skin firmness and elasticity, contributing to a more youthful complexion. Skin Brightening: This peptide plays a role in regulating melanin movement within the skin. As melanin gives the skin its tanned color, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 can promote a more even skin tone. Hydration: By enhancing the skin’s natural defense mechanisms, Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 helps protect against environmental aggressors. It has a calming effect and contributes to overall skin hydration. UV Protection: Acetyl Hexapeptide-1 provides extra protection against UV-induced DNA damage and free radicals. It helps shield the skin from UV-caused redness.
Vitamin C:
Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is the foundation of skin, hair, muscles, and tendons. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin. Topical vitamin C accelerates collagen and elastin production, keeping the skin plump and firm. Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Vitamin C helps improve skin complexion by minimizing the appearance of dark spots. It inhibits the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production, thus preventing hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure. Anti-Aging Effects: Topical vitamin C prevents premature aging by boosting collagen production, reducing wrinkles, and maintaining skin elasticity. It also combats unwanted dark spots caused by factors like smoking, pollutants, and chronic sun exposure. Protects Against Sun Damage: Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, shielding the skin from harmful UV rays. While it won’t fade normal dark skin pigmentation, it prevents abnormal melanin deposits due to excess sun exposure. Promotes Wound Healing: Vitamin C aids in wound repair and tissue regeneration, contributing to faster healing. Hydrates Skin: Proper hydration is essential for healthy skin. Vitamin C helps maintain skin moisture levels. Reduces Redness: Whether due to irritation or inflammation, vitamin C can help soothe redness.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate:
Used in anti-aging creams to target wrinkles such as laugh lines and crow’s feet. It smooths the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. An in-vivo study was carried out with real participants, which showed 21% smoother skin and 15-20% reduction in wrinkles. The smoothing effect was measurable on 80% of the volunteers, while the wrinkle reduction effect was evident on 73%.
Tamanu Oil:
Reducing and preventing breakouts and soothing and moisturizing the skin
Reducing the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation
Nourishing and moisturizing the hair and scalp
Soothing and reducing redness and irritation of sunburns, minor wounds, and eczema
Promoting collagen and GAG production and skin regeneration
Fighting against damage from free radicals and preventing wrinkles caused by sun damage
Providing sun protection by absorbing UV light
