Ingredients
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii)
Shea butter is high in oleic and stearic fatty acids, both of which help to trap moisture in the skin and this helps greatly with any dryness. These fatty acids function as a protective barrier on the surface of the skin to shield it from harsh environmental aggressors. You will be happy to know that Shea butter contains high amounts of vitamins A and E, which aid in nourishing and replenishing the skin. They do an amazing job at protecting your skin from free radical damage. If you apply shea butter on a regular basis, this can help improve the appearance of fine lines and age spots while promoting youthful-looking skin.
Barley Seed Extract (Hordeum vulgare)
Barley seed extract has showed us the ability to influence gene expression related to soothing, revitalizing and repairing skin that is somewhat sensitive. Gene expression is the way in which information found within genes is used to make functional products such as proteins or RNA molecules. It really only targets genes involved in the inflammatory cascade, stress response, repair mechanisms and barrier function.
Gotu Kola Extract (Centella asiatica)
Gotu kola has soothing and inflammatory-fighting properties that can calm and reduce redness and irritation that our skin may experience daily. This botanical also contains triterpenoids such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, and aspartic acid, which can repair skin and support the regeneration process. This in turn stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity. These triterpenoids also function as antioxidants to reduce the oxidative stress and damage that causes premature aging of the skin. This can also help to regulate sebum production, thereby assisting in controlling excess oil on the skin, which helps to address acne-prone or oily skin concerns.
Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate
Saccharomyces ferment filtrate is an extract from fermented yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), that has amino acids, peptides and many other nutrients that provide deep hydration and moisture retention in our skin. The amino acids and peptides support healthy aging by stimulating cellular renewal and boosting collagen synthesis.
Wasabi Root Extract (Wasabia japonica)
Wasabi root extract contains antioxidants that include isothiocyanates, which helps to protect our from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This ingredient also has a soothing effect that alleviates skin irritation and redness for those with sensitive or reactive skin, giving you a refreshing and awakening effect to invigorate and revitalize skin. Wasabi root extract also helps with enhancing natural skin tone.
Ceramide NP
Ceramide NP is known as a lipid molecule that is found in the outermost layer of the skin. This naturally occurring fat houses the skin barrier and hydration. NP refers to a ‘normal fatty acid’ and ‘phytosphingosine base’. Phytosphingosine base is a naturally occurring plant-based sphingolipid (class of lipids) and has vital roles in cell signaling and in the structure of membrane . As we get older, the natural production of ceramides in the skin slows down, which leads to a weak skin barrier and increased moisture loss. Replenishing levels of ceramides in the skin depleted by aging and environmental stressors helps prevent moisture loss, enhance hydration and protect the skin from other irritants.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Acetyl hexapeptide-8 contains in it o6 amino acids that helps to relax muscle contractions when applied to the face, an action that is both a milder and a temporary alternative to Botox injections. This muscle-relaxing feature of acetyl hexapeptide-8 pin points the expression of fine lines such as crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead and mouth while softening the look of wrinkles. These temporary effects diminish slowly once you stop applying it.
