Austral Seaweed Extract |
Seaweed is a famous hydrating ingredient in skincare products. As a powerful humectant, seaweed draws moisture to skin cells, with potent polysaccharides absorbing water and bringing it to the skin. This provides long-lasting, hydration for moisturised-looking skin. |
| Hyaluronic Acid
Sodium Hyaluronate |
Hyaluronic acid is a substance produced by our bodies to hydrate skin. It is also created in labs for skin-care products that offer a plethora of benefits, such as strengthening the skin barrier and visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles. |
|
Amino Acids |
Amino acids are also essential to keeping your skin hydrated. They make up a crucial part of the skin’s natural moisturising factor, which is what keeps the stratum corneum or the outer layer of the skin moisturised. Amino acids also help the body’s water transport system (aquaporins) diffuse moisture into your skin. |
|
Glycerin |
In skincare, glycerin’s most popular use is as a humectant. Humectants are moisturizing ingredients that work by drawing water from the atmosphere to hydrate and soften the skin (other well-known humectants include hyaluronic acid and d-panthenol). |
| Myristic and Lauric acid and Palmitic acid and Citric acid | Myristic acid is backed with powerful cleansing and surfactant properties, which makes it a perfect ingredient for cleansing products. In addition, it aids in removing dirt, excess oil, and impurities. This results in the skin appearing clear, soft, and supple.
Lauric acid has multiple uses in cosmetics, including as an emulsifier and texture-enhancing ingredient. Its natural bay leaf-like scent can be used in high amounts to add fragrance to products, but it’s more often used as a base for cleansing agents, and, increasingly, for its skin-soothing actions. As a fatty acid, palmitic acid can act as an emollient. When applied to the skin by lotions, creams or bath oils, emollients can soften the skin and help it retain moisture by forming an oily, water blocking layer that slows the loss of water through the skin. Citric Acid exfoliates to rid skin of dead cells, promoting exfoliation.Helps to unclog pores.Targets the skin’s hydrating support matrix to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.Helps to even skin tone.Helps to brighten, soften and smooth the skin. |

Potassium hydroxide |

|
BUTYLENE GLYCOL |
Softens and moisturizes. Aside from drawing moisture to the skin, butylene glycol is also an emollient. It coats the skin’s surface, creating a barrier that prevents water loss. It also conditions and softens the skin and hair |
| CODIUM TOMENTOSUM EXTRACT | Codium tomentosum extract normalizes and balances skin’s moisture content. When formulated into creams or lotions, it rapidly hydrates the skin. Unlike normal moisturizing agents, the hydrating effect of Codium tomentosum extract is long lasting, and its moisturizing effects can still be observed several hours later. |
