About The Kit
Squalane
Squalane is a stable, saturated hydrocarbon derived from ‘squalene’, a natural lipid that our skin produces. Squalane is known for its moisturising and emollient properties. Unlike ‘squalene’, which is prone to oxidation, squalane is hydrogenated, making it more stable and longer-lasting.
It is known for hydrating and protecting the skin without clogging pores. It’s lightweight, making it suitable for various skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Our squalane oil has been emulsified to ensure that the boosters blend seamlessly, creating a stable mixture.
Hyaluronic Acid (1%) (Sodium Hyaluronate)
Sodium hyaluronate is a water-soluble salt form of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin and connective tissues. It’s known for its ability to attract and hold moisture, making it a popular ingredient in skincare for hydration.
Sodium hyaluronate is different from hyaluronic acid as it has smaller molecule weight, which allows it to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin more effectively. This deeper hydration can plump and hydrate the skin from within.
It is known for smoothing fine lines, and improving skin elasticity.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in fruits and vegetables, known for its ability to brighten the skin, boost collagen production, and protect against environmental damage. It is a popular skincare ingredient for promoting an even tone and youthful glow.
It is known for evening out skin tone, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and also reducing the appearance of darks spots and hyperpigmentation.
Peptides (5%) (Matrixyl 3000)
Matrixyl 3000 is a peptide complex used in skincare, primarily for its anti-ageing effects. It combines two peptides: palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. Peptides act as signalling molecules that can stimulate the skin to produce proteins.
It is known for promoting collagen production, improving skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is also known for maintaining firmness and smoothness, often making skin look more youthful over time.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a water soluble vitamin that has anti-inflammatory and brightening properties.
It is known for reducing redness, promoting an even skin tone, and improving the skin’s barrier function. It also has antioxidant properties and can help boost hydration in the skin.
