Ingredients: aqua: Distilled water.
hamamelis extract: AKA witch hazel. Anti-inflammatory, wound healing, anti-itching, softening, with emollient properties that soothe irritated skin. From the leaves and bark of the plant.
L-sodium hyaluronate: Hyaluronic acid in chiral form. A mucopoly fructose from honey. This powerful humectant draws water from the ambient air and protects the cell from rapid dehydration. This amino sugar is a component of hyaluronic acid, one of the glycosaminoglycans (polysaccharide chains) that make up the extra cellular matrix (ground substance) of the dermis which contains elastin and collagen. These compounds bind water and are involved in the maintenance of the water and salt balance of the skin and keep the epidermis in tighter alignment with the dermis. From Chinese Foxglove, grain and lichen.
hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin: Botanical starch to improve firmness of the skin.
glycerin: A humectant and emollient from plants. It absorbs moisture from the air, and helps keep moisture in creams and other products.
algae extract: Helps skin maintain its youthful appearance by inhibiting the formation of the enzyme collagenase, which causes the degradation of collagen.
resveratrol: Powerful antioxidant from wine.
gotu kola extract: AKA hydrocotyl or Indian pennywort, also called the longevity plant due to its ability to speed cellular renewal. From India.
retinol: Vitamin A carotenoids with antioxidant and skin renewing properties. Derived from carrots, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupes.
ocotrienols (D-gamma, D-alpha): Powerful antioxidants.
L-proline: A left-handed amino acid that improves the strength of the cell-envelope while keeping it elastic.
copper: Addresses the visible signs of aging. Copper promotes collagen and elastin production to revive dull, lifeless skin, and remedy fine lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture and firmness to the skin.
D-beta-glucosamine: This amino sugar is a component of hyaluronic acid, one of the glycosaminoglycans (polysaccharide chains) that make up the extra cellular matrix (ground substance) of the dermis which contains elastin and collagen. These compounds bind water and are involved in the maintenance of the water and salt balance of the skin and keep the epidermis in tighter alignment with the dermis. From Chinese Foxglove, grain and lichen.
L-superoxide dismutase: Helps prevent oxidative damage to the skin. Chirally correct unique anti-oxidant enzyme that combines with trace mineral selenium, found in the skin. Together they turn free radicals into harmless alcohol. Derived from saccharomyces cereveseae.
green tea heart (epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG): An powerful antioxidant.
L-glutathione: A glutamine-cysteine peptide from purslane and spinach. Left-handed for greater protection of membrane lipids from free radicals.
lavender essential oil: Balancing, energizing, soothing, healing, and stimulating.
neroli essential oil: Neroli oil is suitable for the care of every skin type including sensitive and inflamed skin. It supports the skin’s renewal process of shedding old skin and stimulating new cell growth. From the orange blossom.
xanthan gum: AKA cornstarch gum. Serves as a texturizer, carrier agent, and gelling agent. Also stabilizes and thickens formulations.
ethanol: Ordinary alcohol used medicinally as a topical antiseptic, astringent, and antibacterial. Obtained from grain distillation.
