Ingredient Spotlight.
Retinol
Retinol, a form of vitamin A, is a potent anti-aging ingredient revered for its ability to stimulate collagen production, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture. By incorporating Retinol into our Retinol Green Tea+ Face Serum, we harness its transformative effects, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Organic Green Tea
Organic Green Tea is rich in antioxidants and known for its protective and anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps defend against free radicals, minimizes redness, and combats premature aging. This ingredient helps maintain a balanced, healthy look.
Organic Green Tea provides protective and anti-inflammatory benefits through its high concentration of polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). At a molecular level, EGCG scavenges free radicals, neutralizing them before they can damage skin cells and DNA, thereby defending against oxidative stress. Green Tea's anti-inflammatory properties come from its ability to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce the activity of inflammation-related enzymes. These actions minimize redness and soothe irritated skin. Additionally, by protecting against oxidative damage and reducing inflammation, Green Tea combats premature aging, preserving the skin's structural integrity and appearance.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful moisture-binding ingredient that deeply hydrates and plumps the skin. It helps attract and retains 1,000x its weight in water, providing significant hydration and a smoothing effect on fine lines and wrinkles. This results in skin that feels more supple, firm, and radiant.
Hyaluronic Acid attracts and retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, allowing it to bind water molecules effectively. At a molecular level, its unique structure—comprising repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid—creates a large, flexible matrix that traps and holds water in the extracellular space. This significant hydration plumps the skin, filling in fine lines and wrinkles, and providing a smoothing effect by maintaining moisture levels and improving skin elasticity.
Organic Rice
Organic Rice is valued for its gentle exfoliating and brightening abilities. It helps to even out skin tone, reduce irritation, and illuminate the skin. This ingredient results in a smoother, clearer, and more luminous complexion.
Organic Rice is valued for its gentle exfoliating and brightening abilities due to the presence of phytic acid and a rich array of amino acids. Phytic acid, a natural antioxidant found in rice, gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, resulting in a smoother skin texture. Additionally, the amino acids in rice help to soothe and reduce irritation, providing anti-inflammatory benefits that calm the skin. The exfoliating action of phytic acid combined with the nourishing properties of amino acids helps to even out skin tone and enhance brightness, leading to a clearer and more luminous complexion.
