UREA
Urea is a humectant (a substance used to keep things moist) that occurs naturally within the surface layer of our skin. Part of our skin’s natural moisturising factor, it readily absorbs water and has an extremely high water content that helps to keep our skin hydrated and protected. People with dry skin have considerably less urea in their skin (as much as 50% less in dry skin).
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid helps to replenish the moisture that is crucial to younger-looking, supple skin. It is a humectant; it draws moisture into the skin and keeps it there. Hyaluronic acid energises the skin, so that it feels softer, looks smoother and is luminously hydrated – all whilst reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is derived from cane sugar and is part of the group of active compounds known as AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids). It contains the smallest molecules of the group and therefore is able to penetrate the skin easily and rapidly, making it most effective for helping the appearance of fine lines, acne, blackheads, dullness and oiliness.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and assists in collagen production. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles, moisturises dry skin and helps to protect the skin from free-radical damage caused by UV rays.

Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) is known for its hydrating properties and helps the skin feel soft, smooth, and conditioned. It also supports the skin’s natural barrier and contributes to a healthy-looking complexion.
Ceramides
Ceramides are lipid molecules that help support the skin’s natural barrier and maintain hydration. They assist in keeping the skin feeling smooth, comfortable, and resilient by helping to retain moisture and reduce visible dryness.
Copper and Zinc Gluconates
Zinc and copper are essential minerals that support the skin’s overall appearance. Zinc is known to assist with maintaining healthy-looking skin, while copper contributes to a visibly smooth and conditioned complexion. When used in skincare, these minerals can help promote a firmer, more refined appearance.
Liquorice Root Extract
This plant extract has skin-soothing attributes due to its component, glabridin, which is a powerful antioxidant. Licorice root extract is often included in products for sensitive skin and may help to improve uneven skin tone.

Willow Herb Extract
This botanical extract is valued for its calming and conditioning properties. It is known to help support the appearance of calm, balanced skin and contributes to a refreshed feel. Traditionally, it has been used to soothe and comfort the skin, making it a gentle addition to formulations designed for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
Glycerine (Plant Derived)
Vegetable glycerine is a clear odourless liquid produced from plant oils. Glycerine is a humectant; a substance that attracts moisture to the skin and leaves your skin hydrated. Humectants also help active ingredients to become more easily absorbed by the skin.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 known for its skin conditioning benefits. It helps support a smooth, hydrated complexion and contributes to the appearance of refined pores and an even skin tone.
Granactive Retinoid
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (also known as granactive retinoid) is a retinoid ester that supports skin renewal and promotes a smoother, more refined appearance. It is considered a gentler alternative to traditional forms of retinol, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.

Bakuchiol
Bakuchiol is a plant-derived ingredient often used as a gentle alternative to traditional retinol. Sourced from the babchi plant, it helps promote a smoother, more even-looking complexion and supports overall skin radiance.
Bioferment Oligopeptide
Yeast Ferment Extract and Soy Amino Acids are known for their conditioning properties and are used to support a smoother, revitalised-looking complexion. Our biofermented oligopeptide, derived from a proprietary strain of yeast, is developed through advanced screening techniques and helps to enhance the skin’s appearance with a gentle, refined feel.
Zinc Oxide
Zinc oxide works as a SPF by reflecting and scattering UV radiation. SPFs help reduce or prevent sunburn and which can prematurely age the skin.
Titanium Dioxide
Titanium dioxide works as a UV filtering ingredient. It helps protect a person’s skin by blocking absorption of the sun’s ultraviolet light that can cause sunburn and is also linked to skin cancer.
