Ingredient Insights:
Squalane: A naturally occurring lipid derived from olives to help protect the skin from moisture loss. It enhances skin elasticity and flexibility, which in turn improves the barrier function of the skin’s natural lipid layer.
Biotin: Enhances the organisational structure of the skin, increasing the flexibility and smoothness of skin by helping to promote the creation of lipids.
Ceramides – Ceramide NP, Ceramide NS, Ceramide EOS, Ceramide EOP, Ceramide AP: Protect the skin by repairing and correcting defects in the lipid barrier of the stratum corneum. They also enhance hydration by boosting the water transport system known as aquaporin-3, helping to increase moisture retention and improve overall skin hydration.
Tocopherol: A natural form of vitamin E, Tocopherol is highly bioavailable to the skin. As a lipid-soluble and potent antioxidant, it neutralises free radicals, helping to reduce visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Caprooyl Phytosphingosine, Caprooyl Sphingosine: Unique short-chain ceramides that act as signaling sphingolipids, promoting keratinocyte differentiation. This process strengthens, densifies, and smooths the stratum corneum, enhancing the overall resilience and texture of the skin.
Enzymes – Ficin, Actinidin, Bromelain: Minimise inflammation while soothing dry, itchy, and compromised skin. These proteolytic enzymes work to break down proteins and support skin healing, providing relief and promoting a healthier skin barrier.
