Vitamin C esters are a stabilised form of Vitamin C derived from ascorbic acid and potato or corn starch. The glucoside ensures that Vitamin C is gradually released into the skin, enabling it to combat free radicals and UV damage, which contribute to premature ageing. This slow-release mechanism allows Vitamin C to effectively brighten the skin, enhance collagen production and improve skin suppleness.

Vitamin C offers numerous benefits for healthier, youthful skin. It promotes collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also protecting the skin from environmental damage. It helps brighten the complexion, reduce skin roughness and alleviate inflammation, all of which contribute to a more radiant and rejuvenated appearance.

Additionally, it is effective in treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots by inhibiting melanin production. This helps to even out skin tone, lighten age spots and freckles, and reduce pigmentation, leaving the skin looking smoother and more even.

Galactoarabinan is a Larch Tree Extract that enhances skin hydration and protection. This natural polysaccharide forms a gentle, non-irritating film on the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of superficial fine lines and minimises transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This protective film also acts as a barrier, shielding the skin from environmental pollutants by preventing them from adhering to the surface.

In addition to its hydrating and protective properties, Larch Extract can support skin health by benefiting the skin's microbiome. There is some evidence suggesting that the polysaccharide acts as a prebiotic, promoting a balanced and healthy skin environment.

We love its instant tightening effect, plus its ability to lock in moisture, smooth fine lines and protect against environmental stressors, supporting a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful yet gentle hydrating ingredient that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Its small molecules penetrate deep into the skin, replenishing lost moisture in the dermis, which helps combat wrinkles and signs of ageing. As the skin naturally loses water with age, Hyaluronic Acid helps restore hydration, maintaining skin elasticity and smoothness.

This ingredient is particularly effective in adapting to environmental conditions, adjusting moisture absorption based on humidity levels. It also protects skin from UV-induced damage by scavenging reactive oxygen species, helping to prevent sunspots and age spots. This deep hydration promotes better microcirculation, which further enhances skin health and vitality.

By increasing water content in the skin, Hyaluronic Acid helps to give your complexion, a plumper, smoother and firmer appearance. Its derivative, Sodium Hyaluronate, has long been used for its moisturising and wound-healing properties, further enhancing its role in promoting healthy, youthful skin.

Shea Nut Butter, also known as Karite butter, is derived from the cold-pressed fruits of the shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii), native to Central Africa. The process of harvesting Shea Butter is labour-intensive, as these trees take 15 to 20 years to bear fruit, yielding only a small amount of butter per harvest. At room temperature, Shea Butter appears as a creamy white or off-white solid, renowned for its rich, buttery texture.

Renowned for its deeply moisturising, skin-soothing and replenishing properties, Shea Butter helps to protect dry and cracked skin. It is highly effective in providing relief from environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV radiation.

By creating a barrier that locks in moisture, its unique plant molecules help to repair damage and restore skin’s natural resilience.

Macadamia Seed Oil is a highly stable, nourishing oil packed with monounsaturated fats, offering strong oxidative stability and a high smoke point. Its unique composition includes Omega 7, a fatty acid known for its potential to support skin healing and regeneration, making it ideal for wound care and reducing the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

With a low comedogenicity index, Macadamia Seed Oil is easily absorbed by the skin, allowing it to deeply moisturise without clogging pores. This absorption enhances skin compatibility, ensuring the oil’s nutrients penetrate effectively rather than remaining on the surface. Its balanced ratio of essential Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids provides anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to calm and soothe irritated or inflamed skin.

Traditionally used for its healing properties, Macadamia Seed Oil is well-suited for sensitive or damaged skin, promoting a smoother, more resilient complexion. Its gentle, non-greasy nature makes it a versatile ingredient for hydration and skin repair.
