Featured Ingredients
Aloe Vera Juice: has 18 amino acids that work in association with other compounds of the human body to deliver numerous health benefits. The pure inner gel extracted from the aloe leaf is one of the best natural remedies for skin abrasions, wounds, rashes, acne, and psoriasis. It has hydrating and rejuvenating properties that help to diminish the signs of aging.
Zinc Oxide: Non-nano, zinc has been stabilized in a plant-based emulsion to provide broad-spectrum UV protection that leaves no white cast. Beyond providing sun protection, zinc is considered by dermatologists to be a reliable ingredient for acne treatment. Studies have found the mineral may decrease papules and cysts when when applied topically . Our zinc source is approved by COSMOS, Ecocert, and the Natural Product Association
Ectoin: an extremolyte, a small stress-protection molecule that protects microorganisms living under extreme conditions. First discovered in a salt lake in the Egyptian desert in 1985, ectoin has since been well-researched, and has demonstrated pollution & light protection, skin hydration, soothing, and barrier repair action on the skin. Ectoin is able to protect cell membranes from chemical and physical damage, reducing oxidative stress and cell inflammation.
Chamomile Flower Oil: Soothing and calming to minor wounds, fungal infections, insect bites, rosacea and generally sensitive skin. Chamomile is effective in treating acne, eczema and other skin conditions.
Niacinamide: aka vitamin B3, helps to build keratin within the skin, protect the lipid barrier, reduce inflammation, regulate oil production, protect against oxidative stress, minimize the appearance of wrinkles, and treat hyper-pigmentation and acne.
Hyaluronic Acid: improves elasticity, and hydration while minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Our low molecular weight HA, is able to penetrate the skin to nourish and hydrate deeply. This weight of hyaluronic acid can also scavenge free radicals, stimulate cell growth and repair skin damage.
Thyme Flower and Leaf Extract: improves structural aging due to lipoatrophy or loss of adipose tissue. Thyme extract stimulates the formation of adiponectin – the key biological marker responsible for regulating adipogenesis – promoting remarkable rejuvenation and preserving cellular memory. It improves and modifies facial contour acting as an alternative to invasive fillers.
