Ingredients
- Tephrosia Purpurea (Wild Indigo) Seed Extract: Wild Indigo is a native Indian plant used in the Ayurvedic tradition for its anti-inflammatory properties.12 This perennial, resilient plant helps brighten skin by increasing under-eye luminosity, improving skin tone and visibly reducing under-eye dark circles.
- Maris Aqua (Sea Water) Extract and Hydrolyzed Algin (Artic Algae): Sea Water Extract is an energising, enriched seawater that helps enhance the skin barrier for protection against environmental stressors. Arctic Algae is a humectant or conditioning agent derived from the arctic. Together,
these two ingredients provide toning action to help combat the formation of wrinkles and heavy bags. In addition, they help improve skin firmness under the eyes, smooth fine lines, and reduce the volume of sagging under-eye bags, aka puffiness.
- Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate (Fermented Yeast): Fermented Yeast is manufactured in a lab using fermentation biotechnology in which yeast are fed a nutrient media essential for the yeast's development. This ingredient is helpful for firming and hydrating skin to help generate a lifting effect, as well as protecting the skin's barrier integrity. In-vitro studies have confirmed that Fermented Yeast is effective at protecting skin lipids, which are critical for proper functioning of the skin’s lipid structure. In-vivo clinical studies have shown that Fermented Yeast has anti-wrinkle, skin-firming abilities as well as the ability to reduce Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and enhance skin moisturisation.
- Hyaluronic Acid Blend: Our natural levels of Hyaluronic Acid decrease with age, resulting in drier, thinner skin. This calibrated blend contains Hyaluronic Acids of various molecular sizes that work synergistically to provide exceptional hydrating benefits. The smaller Hyaluronic Acid molecules penetrate further into the skin to improve moisturisation while the larger molecules stay near the surface, forming a protective film that decreases Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). Added benefits include antioxidant power, enhanced skin elasticity and strengthening of the skin barrier for an overall lifted effect.
- Diglucosyl Gallic Acid: This next-generation molecule is activated by the skin's natural microbiome, or stratum microbium, to brighten hyperpigmentation – one of several factors that can contribute to appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Stratum microbium are natural "microflora," or microorganisms, that live on the upper layers of the stratum corneum. These microflora convert Diglucosyl Gallic Acid into TriHydroxy Benzoic Acid,17 which has four times the antioxidant power of Vitamin C and is 60 times more efficient than Kojic Acid (a natural alternative to Hydroquinone) at brightening the skin.
