Key ingredient
Alpha Arbutin
Is a safe yet highly effective skin lightening agent that reduces melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase activity.- Niacinamide
Fades dark marks and increases collagen synthesis. - Tranexamic Acid
Inhibits melanin production, reduces the appearance of acne scars, fades discolouration and brightens skin. - Centella Asiatica
Also known as gotu kola, has been used in traditional medicines for many years. We love this ingredient for its wound healing abilities and anti-inflammatory effects. Centella Asiatica is used in the treatment of small wounds, hypertrophic wounds as well as burns, psoriasis and scleroderma. Centella Asiatica can stimulate fibroblast proliferation and activate the signalling pathway to stimulate collagen production. - Ceramides
Ceramides are produced naturally by the skin, however they become depleted over time as we age as the body produces fewer ceramides at a loss of one percent per year. Maintaining ceramide levels in the skin plays an essential role in managing dryness, dehydration and premature signs of ageing. - Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, providing anti-oxidant protection, increases collagen synthesis reduces melanogenesis by more than 80%. - Shea Butter
Rich in anti-oxidants, its regenerates and soothes skin - Biomimetic Peptide
Prevents the synthesis of melanin, brightens skin and reduces dark marks - Hyper-Brite Complex
A powerful brightening complex that prevents melanin synthesis by preventing activation tyrosinase. - Briteodant Complex
A powerful tyrosinase inhibitor to reduce the formation of melanin. - Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
An effective anti-oxidant that brightens overall complexion and increases collagen synthesis.
