Aqua: distilled water.
glyceryl stearate: An emulsifier that assists in forming neutral, stable emulsions. It is also a solvent, humectant, and consistency regulator in water-in-oil and oil-in-water formulations. Plant source.
vegetable glycerin: A humectant and emollient from plants. It absorbs moisture from the air, and helps keep moisture in creams and other products.
matrixyl3000™ (palmitoyl oligopeptide-palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3): Proven wrinkle reduction peptide.
shea butter: A moisturizing, soothing emollient fat with cellular renewal properties from the fat of the karite nut tree.
mango butter: An emollient fat from the mango seed.
cetyl alcohol: An emollient, emulsifier, and thickener produced from palm oil.
stearic acid: Naturally occurring in butter acids, cascarilla bark and vegetable lipids. Emulsifier and thickening agent, pearlizing substance, lubricant, softens the skin.
olive oil: Great carrier oil with excellent lubricating qualities and powerful antioxidants.
d-alpha tocopherol: A powerful antioxidant.
marine oligopeptide: provide skin with collagen building nutrients. From seaweed.
honey: Moisturizing and anti-bacterial.
phospholipids: Reduces moisture loss in the skin, carrier for deep penetration, from plant source.
sphingolipids: AKA d-ceramides. Skin conditioner, provides protective skin barrier while allowing the skin to breath, repairing, hydrating.
L-sodium hyaluronate: This amino sugar is a component of hyaluronic acid, one of the glycosaminoglycans (polysaccharide chains) that make up the extra cellular matrix (ground substance) of the dermis which contains elastin and collagen. These compounds bind water and are involved in the maintenance of the water and salt balance of the skin and keep the epidermis in tighter alignment with the dermis. From Chinese Foxglove, grain and lichen.
reservatrol: Powerful antioxidant from wine.
green tea heart (EGCG): A powerful antioxidant from green tea.
d-beta-glucosamine: This amino sugar is a component of hyaluronic acid, one of the glycosaminoglycans (polysaccharide chains) that make up the extra cellular matrix (ground substance) of the dermis which contains elastin and collagen. These compounds bind water and are involved in the maintenance of the water and salt balance of the skin and keep the epidermis in tighter alignment with the dermis. From Chinese Foxglove, grain and lichen.
heavy water: This water naturally occurs in saline lakes and in deep sea water. It bonds more strongly than regular water with the skin and other connective tissue preventing the skin from drying out as quickly or as deeply. Has remarkable protective and preserving action on tissue.
totarol: An extract of the New Zealand Totara tree with potent anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties. Propionibacterium, the bacterium involved in acne, is particularly sensitive to this extract. Totarol is effective in the treatment of acne and rosacea.
cassia beta-glycan: Retains moisture in the skin, leaves the skin like velvet. From seeds of the Cassia Augustif Olia Vahl fruit.
astaxanthin: Enhances immune response and reduces inflammation. From the micro algae H. pluvialis, grown in Hawaii.
organic aloe vera: Hydrating, softening, healing emollient with anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
retinol: Vitamin A carotenoid with antioxidant and skin renewing properties. Derived from carrots, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupes.
allantoin: Healing, soothing, and believed to aid in the healing of damaged skin by stimulating new tissue growth. Derived from the comfrey root.
lecithin: A natural emollient, emulsifier, antioxidant, and spreading agent, with a hydrophilic ingredient that attracts water and acts as a moisturizer. Will be used by the skin to synthesize its own lipids.
carrot extract: Great source of beta-carotene which is powerful antioxidant, free radical scavenger in the lipid component of the skin, precursor of Vitamin A in the body.
almond oil: An emollient and carrier, providing an elegant skin feel and promoting spreadability in creams and lotions.
xanthan gum: AKA cornstarch gum. Serves as a texturizer, carrier agent, and gelling agent. Also stabilizes and thickens formulations.
jasmine alcohol: Preservative, anti-bacterial.
sodium hydroxymethylglycinate: Natural preservative from amino acids.
