Our Ingredients

Retinol alternative, a plant-derived active rich in phytochemicals such as phytol, flavonoids, and polyacetylenes. It has been scientifically recognized as a natural retinol-like agent, activating retinoid receptors (RARs) in the skin without the irritation commonly associated with synthetic retinol. This mechanism helps to stimulate collagen production, enhance cell turnover, and improve skin firmness, while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Chanterelle extract is derived from the edible mushroom Cantharellus cibarius, commonly known as the chanterelle. This mushroom is naturally rich in bioactive compounds including polysaccharides, phenolic antioxidants, vitamins. It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as pollution and UV exposure.

Rich in antioxidants, white tea extract protects the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. It neutralises oxidative stress, preventing premature aging and promoting skin health and resilience. White tea extract also has anti-inflammatory properties, soothing redness and irritation, and calming sensitive or acne-prone skin.

A natural alternative to retinol, bakuchiol is derived from the Babchi plant. It offers similar benefits in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting skin firmness, and elasticity. Bakuchiol's antioxidant properties protect the skin from environmental damage, leaving it looking youthful and radiant without the potential for irritation often associated with retinol.

Botanical extract derived from the leaves of the ancient tree species Ginkgo Biloba, often referred to as a “living fossil” due to its evolutionary history spanning more than 200 million years. The leaves of Ginkgo Biloba contain a complex mixture of flavonoids, terpene lactones (such as ginkgolides and bilobalide), and polyphenolic compounds. These constituents are known for their strong antioxidant properties, which help neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce oxidative stress at the cellular level. Due to this combination of antioxidant protection, circulation support, and potential anti-inflammatory activity, Ginkgo biloba extract is used to revitalize, protect, and maintain the overall health of the skin.

Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract is derived from the leaves of the sage plant, which contains high levels of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and antioxidants. It modulates sebum production, alleviates irritation, and contributes to skin stability, promoting a balanced complexion.

Rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and bisabolol, which are known for their soothing and protective properties. It helps calm skin irritation, reduce redness, and provide relief to sensitive or stressed skin. In addition to its calming effects, chamomile extract offers antioxidant protection, helping to defend the skin against environmental stressors and oxidative damage. 

Rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, triterpenoids, and carotenoids, which contribute to its well-known soothing and restorative properties. These components help provide anti-inflammatory benefits, calming irritated or sensitive skin while supporting the skin’s natural healing processes.

Rich in bioactive compounds, including vitamins (such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E), carotenoids, and essential fatty acids. These constituents contribute to its strong antioxidant capacity, helping neutralize reactive oxygen species and protect skin cells from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors. The extract is also known for its regenerative and skin-supporting properties, as its fatty acid profile—particularly omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, and omega-9—may help support the skin barrier and hydration. 

Contains a range of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols and other antioxidant constituents that contribute to its protective and soothing properties. These compounds help neutralize reactive oxygen species, protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as pollution and UV exposure.

A stable form of vitamin C, 3-0-ethyl ascorbic acid brightens the complexion, fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and promotes collagen production. It also provides antioxidant protection, defending the skin against free radical damage and environmental stressors.

A lipid-soluble form of vitamin C, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate penetrates deeply into the skin, delivering potent antioxidant protection and promoting collagen synthesis. It brightens the complexion, fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and improves overall skin tone and texture. Vitamin C also helps to reduce inflammation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating sugar units. With strong water-binding capacity, it helps retain skin moisture, improving hydration, elasticity, and structural integrity.

A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath, improving texture, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic acid also stimulates collagen production.

A beta hydroxy acid (BHA), salicylic acid exfoliates the skin, unclogging pores, and preventing acne breakouts. It penetrates deep into the pores, dissolving oil and debris, and reducing inflammation. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for soothing redness and irritation.

Natural solid lipid derived from the nuts of Vitellaria paradoxa, which contains triglycerides, essential fatty acids, and lipid-soluble vitamins such as Vitamins A and E. Its lipid profile, which includes oleic, stearic, linoleic, and palmitic acids, contributes to its strong emollient and skin-conditioning properties. These components help support the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and promoting improved skin hydration.

Rich in tannins, polyphenols, and other antioxidant compounds, which contribute to its astringent and protective properties. Tannins can interact with skin proteins, helping to temporarily tighten the skin surface and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores. The extract also exhibits soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, helping calm irritated or stressed skin and support skin comfort.

Naturally rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and the bioactive compound aescin. These constituents help protect the skin from free radical damage and oxidative stress caused by environmental factors. The extracts are also known for their ability to support microcirculation, which may contribute to improved skin vitality and tone. In addition, they exhibit soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, helping calm irritation while supporting skin firmness and a more even-looking complexion.

Short chains of amino acids they enhance collagen and elastin synthesis, and support epidermal regeneration, contributing to improved skin firmness and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Highly effective humectant that attracts and retains water in the skin. It provides deep hydration, helps maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier, and leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.
