FORMULA HIGHLIGHTS
Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil (Safflower) — An oil with concentrated linoleic acid, which is a structural component of cell membranes and maintains epidermal water levels. It is lightweight, easily absorbed, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and a melanin inhibitor. With its high vitamin E content, safflower reduces the signs of photoaging and oxidative stress while softening and providing skin conditioning and lubricating properties.
Glyceryl Stearate SE — Naturally found in the human body, glyceryl stearate is an emulsifier that easily permeates the skin. It softens and smooths the skin while providing a barrier to slow TEWL. SE indicates that this is a self-emulsifying form that contains a small amount of sodium or potassium stearate.
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.
Retinyl Palmitate — A type of vitamin A that is enzymatically converted to retinoic acid in the skin, but without the irritation potential. Vitamin A is critical for the long-term maintenance of healthy skin. It slows the mechanisms of aging by inhibiting collagen breakdown and MMPs, promoting glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis, repairing photodamage, and facilitating collagen production. Retinyl Palmitate speeds wound healing, smooths texture, reduces pigmentation, evens tone, boosts elasticity, and refines wrinkles.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract — An antioxidant that hydrates, soothes, and conditions the skin while regenerating tissue. It is photoprotective, stimulates the immune system, and boosts collagen synthesis; aloe also contains antiviral properties, antiseptic saponins, and anti-inflammatory enzymes. It is incredibly nutrient-rich with 75 active compounds, including vitamins A, C, E, B12, folic acid, potassium, fatty acids, and more.
