KEY INGREDIENTS
QUASSIA AMARA WOOD EXTRACT Derived from the bark of a small tropical shrub, this ingredient contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-parasitic properties.
NIACINAMIDE (VITAMIN B3), 4% Promotes microcirculation, strengthens the skin's outer layers, improves elasticity, and curbs redness and irritation. Helpful for treating dry skin due to its ability to increase barrier lipid levels. Has anti-inflammatory properties (which helps reduce redness), anti-bacterial properties, and melanin inhibiting properties.
AZELAIC ACID (POTASSIUM AZELOYL DIGLYCINATE), 5% A natural component of wheat, barley, and rye, this ingredient is antimicrobial and anti inflammatory with melanin inhibiting properties.
HYALURONIC ACID (SODIUM HYALURONATE CROSSPOLYMER) A hydrophilic molecule, cross-linked Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds up to 50,000 times its molecular weight in water, reduces TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss), and helps to keep skin plump and firm. Sodium Hyaluronate is a glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular space that resists compression by absorbing significant amounts of water.
BISABOLOL Found as a natural component of chamomile, Bisabolol is an effective anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory ingredient, helpful in soothing red, irritated skin.
CETYL HYDROXYPROLINE PALMITATE (CERAMIDE) Ceramides are lipids that hold the surface cells of the skin’s protective barrier together, helping to retain moisture and restore and replenish the skin.
STEARIC ACID (FATTY ACID) A fatty acid used as an emollient and emulsifier and one of three ingredients that comprise the skin’s natural lipid barrier.
RAPESEED (BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS STEROLS) (CHOLESTEROL) An emollient which makes skin smooth and soft. One of three ingredients that comprise the skin’s natural lipid barrier.
ALLANTOIN A substance known for its healing, soothing, and anti-irritating properties. This ingredient softens skin and stimulates the formation of healthy tissue. Helps eliminate chapping and cracking, leaving skin silky, smooth, and healthy-looking.
CETEARYL ALCOHOL A fatty alcohol used as an emollient, emulsifier, thickener, and carrying agent for other ingredients. A firm, wax-like substance derived from plant oils, Cetearyl alcohol has emulsifying properties to hydrate skin and hair, leaving it soft and supple.
SQUALANE Used in the synthesis of natural skin sterols essential for maintaining skin barrier function, Squalane, derived from olives, is a biological component of human sebum and is therefore very skin friendly. It is an excellent moisturizer that does not leave a heavy, greasy residue on the skin.
