Key Ingredients

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD)

PAD is a water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid, offering enhanced skin compatibility and solubility. This ingredient offers similar benefits such as reducing acne and lightening skin pigmentation but with increased skin compatibility. It improves skin clarity and texture, making your skin feel soft and smooth.

Zinc PCA

Zinc PCA is a skincare ingredient that combines the sebum-regulating properties of zinc with the hydrating benefits of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA). It is known for its sebum-reducing and antimicrobial properties, and tackles acne by controlling oil production and reducing acne-causing bacteria. It also helps in reducing skin irritation, making it a must-have for oily and acne-prone skin.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5)

Also known as Provitamin B5, panthenol acts as a moisturizer, soothing and healing the skin. It enhances skin barrier function, reduces redness, and hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and plump.

Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract

Derived from a species of grass native to many parts of Asia, Australia, and Africa, this extract is rich in potassium and dimethyl sulfopropionate (DMSP), which act in synergy to help cells to maintain their osmotic equilibrium.

The extract has also been found to increase the concentration of NMFs (Natural Moisturizing Factors) in the skin. NMFs are components that keep the skin's outer layer protected and hydrated, making this extract an excellent ingredient for enhancing the skin's barrier function. A strong skin barrier is crucial for preventing water loss and protecting the skin from environmental stressors and irritants. Clinical studies have shown that formulations containing this extract can significantly improve skin moisture levels, even 24 hours after application.

In addition to its hydrating benefits, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract is also valued for its soothing properties. It can help calm irritation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Its inclusion in skincare formulations aims to deliver a burst of hydration, promote a healthy skin barrier, and soothe the skin, contributing to a more radiant and youthful complexion.

Maltodextrin

Derived from natural starches through partial hydrolysis, this polysaccharide serves not only as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin, but is also a prebiotic that may help support the health of the skin's microbiome. Prebiotics are known to feed beneficial bacteria, promoting a balanced skin ecosystem. In addition to its moisturizing and potential prebiotic activities, maltodextrin can also improve the skin's texture and appearance. Its film-forming properties help smooth the skin, making it an excellent ingredient in products aimed at reducing fine lines and improving the skin's overall feel.

Allantoin

Recognised for its skin-soothing and healing properties, allantoin promotes cell proliferation and wound healing. It is effective in soothing irritated skin, promoting skin smoothness, and facilitating natural exfoliation.
