HOW IT WORKS
Each form of vitamin A undergoes a different process to fully convert the ingredient to retinoic acid. Once the ingredient has been fully converted to retinoic acid, it works with skin’s natural exfoliation process to ensure an ageless look and feel.
Vitamin A (Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate) are retinoid derivatives of vitamin A. They convert into retinoic acid to brighten and smooth the appearance of aging skin.
Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil) is rich in fatty acids, and acts as a lightweight emollient.
Derived from olives, squalane works to deeply moisturize. It has a similar composition to skin’s own sebum, which makes it an excellent hydrator.
Safflower is one of humanity’s oldest crops, and has been cultivated for centuries throughout a multitude of cultures for its oil, emollient and moisturizing qualities.
Glycerin is a plant derived humectant that works by balancing moisture levels, helping skin feel smoother and softer. It draws water to itself from the environment, ensuring hydrated skin.
Hydrolyzed Coconut Oil (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride) is an emollient that conditions and moisturizes the outer layer of the skin.
Ceramide-3 Ceramides are lipid molecules that are found in high concentrations within cell membranes. They are found naturally in the skin, and play an important role for the protective layer that holds in moisture.
