ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
Squalane - is classified as a lightweight oil that quickly penetrates the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. As a component of the intercellular matrix, it influences the maintenance of the proper water-lipid structure, ensuring adequate skin hydration. Squalane is also an antioxidant, protecting lipid structures in the skin from oxidation and free radicals. An important function of squalane is to enhance the transport of active ingredients deep into the skin.
Shea Butter - is a substance obtained from the nuts of the shea tree; its bark has a high affinity for the lipids in the epidermis. It strengthens the intercellular cement, thereby moisturizing, softening, and smoothing the skin. Shea butter reduces TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and exhibits anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
1.5% Retinol - one of the most well-researched and effective ingredients. Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, thereby densifying the skin. Reduces discoloration and acts as a strong antioxidant.
Niacinamide - increases the production of fatty acids and ceramides in the skin, which form a protective barrier. Maintains skin moisture, protects it from irritants, reduces redness and flushing caused by rosacea, and also reduces dark spots.
Lactic Acid - the action of lactic acid on the skin results in brightening, smoothing, reducing fine surface wrinkles, narrowing pores, removing acne scars, and improving skin tone while inhibiting the formation of pigmentation. Stimulates the production of ceramides in the skin, thereby sealing the lipid barrier of the epidermis, reducing water loss (TEWL), and making the skin more elastic and soft.
Serine - is an amino acid with anti-inflammatory effects. Accelerates skin regeneration and activates collagen production. Provides moisturizing effects.
Urea - a moisturizing substance that facilitates the penetration of other active ingredients in the cosmetic product. It has softening properties and the ability to penetrate through the stratum corneum.
Allantoin - is a soothing, calming, anti-inflammatory, and smoothing substance. Supports the healing of epidermal damage and has softening effects.
Vitamin E - slows down the aging process of the skin by binding free radicals, which are formed, for example, under the influence of sunlight and cigarette smoke. Penetrates the skin, strengthens intercellular matrix structures (reduces TEWL), moisturizes, and provides protective effects. Prevents inflammation, vessel damage, and improves blood circulation.
