Ingredients Highlights
- Vitamin E: An antioxidant naturally found in foods like nuts, spinach, and olive oil. In skincare, vitamin E helps neutralize free radicals and offers photoprotective support, helping reduce the visible effects of sun-related stress when paired with daily sunscreen.
- Glycerin: A highly effective humectant that attracts and retains water to support hydration and comfort. Beyond surface moisturization, glycerin can help maintain hydration in deeper layers for longer-lasting softness.
- Shea Butter: A plant-derived butter rich in vitamins A and E and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, supporting moisturization, softness, and a smoother-looking texture while contributing to the appearance of firmness and elasticity.
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Known for hydration support and skin comfort. Helps relieve irritation, supports the protective barrier, and contributes to the look of healthier, calmer skin.
- Plant-Derived Squalane: An emollient derived from plants such as sugarcane. Helps reduce moisture loss, supports a smoother feel, and is associated with soothing support for redness-prone, sensitized-looking skin.
- Bisabolol: A plant-derived ingredient known for calming support, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Often used in formulas designed for sensitive or reactive-looking skin.
- Bioactive Minerals (Fermentation-derived): Minerals participate in enzymatic reactions related to protein synthesis and cell renewal. Through fermentation, they become bioactive ingredients that can support barrier strengthening and soothing care.
