Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Vitamin C)

A stable Vitamin C derivative with powerful antioxidant and anti
ageing properties, superior absorption and effectively converts into
vitamin C within the skin to perform various physiological functions.

Anti-Aging Properties
• Cell revitalizing activity – Shown to significantly increase cell proliferation (in-vitro).
• Significantly promotes collagen synthesis. Shown to be more effective than L-Ascorbic Acid (in-vitro).
• Demonstrated to drastically inhibit the activity of collagen
degrading enzyme. The inhibitory effect shown to be considerably higher
than that of L-Ascorbic Acid (in-vitro).

Superior Skin Penetration
• Efficient absorption into human dermal fibroblasts. Shown that the
intake of ascorbic acid into the skin after the addition of Ascorbyl
Tetra Isopalmitate is considerably higher than that after the addition
of L-Ascorbic Acid by itself (in-vitro).
• Shown to have higher skin penetration/absorption than Ascorbyl Glucoside (in-vivo).

Skin lighting / Anti pigmentation 
• Inhibits activity of intracellular tyrosinase and melanogenesis (the production of melanin) (in-vitro).
• Studies have also shown a reduction of UV-induced pigmentation (in-vivo).
• The ability to boost skin radiance and luminosity.

Anti-oxidant 
• Shown to be more effective at scavenging singlet oxygen than L-Ascorbic Acid (in-vitro).
• Demonstrated to inhibit sebum oxidation induced via UVB irradiation
to the same level as the control group without UVB irradiation
(in-vivo).
• Shown to improve the vitality of epidermal cells damaged by
hydrogen-peroxide and a separate test with t-BHP (both used to induce
ROS damage) above that of cells treated with the same dosage of Sodium
Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
(in-vitro).
• Proven SOD-like activity.

Protects skin from UVA & UVB
• Protective effect on cell damaged caused by UV induced irradiation
demonstrated to be more effective than L-Ascorbic Acid (in-vitro).
• Protection of DNA damage induced from UVB irradiation more
effective that L-Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbyl Glucoside and Magnesium
Ascorbyl Phosphate (in-vitro / Comet Assay test).
• Inhibits DNA damage induced by UVA.
• Protection of cell damage induced by UVA – Demonstrated a 31.5%
reduction of cell death after treatment with Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
(in-vitro).

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil (Organic)

Jojoba Oil is very similar to the sebum created by the sebaceous
glands within the dermis. Sebum is fundamental for skin health. It
assists in keeping the skin moisturised, maintains skin elasticity and
preserves the skin’s barrier. Due to Jojoba oil’s sebum like qualities
it is readily accepted and easily absorbed by our skin and has shown to
be effective in enhancing the permeation and efficacy of the active
ingredients it is combined with.

 Curr Drug Deliv. 2017;14(3):426-432

Jojoba oil exhibits high oxidative stability and is resistant to
premature degradation. Studies suggest Jojoba oil accelerates wound
healing and stimulates collagen synthesis.

Squalane (plant derived)

A powerful emollient with high oxidative stability found and created
naturally in our skin. Squalane has occlusive properties yet is
non-comedogenic and assists dry, inflamed skin conditions. It supports
the skin’s barrier and has anti-bacterial properties

Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Extract (Organic) 

Chamomile extract has strong anti inflammatory affects on the skin.
It inhibits nitric oxide production within the dermis. Nitric oxide is a
catalyst for inflammatory diseases and is associated with acute and
chronic inflammations.
Chamomile extract has anti-oxidant and antimicrobial properties and has shown to enhance wound healing.

Z Hautkr. 1987 Sep 1;62(17):1262, 1267-71. 
 J Wound Care. 2007 Jul;16(7):298-302.

Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil

Chia Seed Oil contains a potent amount of Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic
acid) and Omega 6 (linoleic acid) fatty acids (about 65% of the oil
content) which posses strong anti inflammatory action. A study conducted
by Annals of Dermatology in 2010 demonstrated that a formulation
containing 4% Chia Seed Oil as the active ingredient applied topically
soothes irritation, restores the skin’s barrier and moisturises dry and
inflamed skin. This Potent Antioxidant Oil contains 4% Chia Seed Oil.

Vitis Vinifera (Grape Seed) Oil

Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Oil

Moisturises skin.
Assists in scar prevention.
Reduces discolouration both long and short term.

Boswellia Serrata Extract

Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) 

One of the most renowned, clinically proven humectants that draws in
water from the surrounding air and delivers skin-hydration to the outer
layers of the dermis.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) 

Tetrahydropiperine

A patented natural permeation enhancer to increase the absorption and efficacy of actives in topical applications.
