FORMULA HIGHLIGHTS
Beta-glucan — Beta-glucan is a hydrating polysaccharide that nourishes Langerhans cells. It is an immune-boosting active chemical extracted from the cell walls of certain yeasts. On its own, beta-glucan is a film-forming humectant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that protects from UV-induced erythema and environmental damage. However, when utilized by the Langerhans cells, beta-glucan reinforces the skin’s immune function and strengthens the defense system and response capabilities. It also aids wound healing, repairs signs of extrinsic aging, hydrates, maintains cell health, and restores barrier function.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) — A lipophilic stable form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that stimulates collagen synthesis, inhibits tyrosinase, and reduces pigmentation while protecting from oxidative and environmental stress. It is also involved in the ‘recycling’ of vitamin E for its reactivation in the skin. MAP can brighten, soften, smooth, and strengthen skin.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 — A messenger peptide that helps restore underlying structures and visibly improves photodamage, wrinkles, and rough texture. The amino acid sequences in palmitoyl tripeptide-1 signal collagen stimulation and GAGs to help plump, firm, thicken, and refine the skin.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — A messenger peptide that works in synergy with palmitoyl tripeptide-1. These amino acid sequences help restore the integrity of the dermis and suppress inflammation. This peptide also helps stimulate hyaluronic acid and collagen production in the dermal matrix, strengthening and supporting the underlying structures.
Curcuma Longa Root Extract (Curcumin) — Curcumin is derived from turmeric. This phytonutrient is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. In addition, it exhibits wound healing benefits, from decreased healing time to increased fibroblast and vascular density. Curcumin reduces the signs of aging and pigmentation by increasing collagen and inhibiting melanin synthesis.
