- All ingredients are purposeful + beneficial for skin health with no additives.
STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS A symbiotic microbe containing high levels of sphingomyelinase (ASMase), an enzyme. Topicals containing this probiotic can generate a significant increase in skin ceramide amounts via the ASMase/ceramide pathway. Biosynthesis of ceramides, which comprise 50% of the skin’s barrier layer, declines with age.
GLUCONOLACTONE Polyhydroxy acid (PHA), a potent humectant, and natural preservative. It enhances water balance while acting like a very gentle exfoliant.
POLYGLYCERYL POLYRICINOLEATE A novel food-based surfactant and emulsifier. Directly improves barrier function by multi-tasking with probiotics to provide microbial balance. In addition, the polyglycerol part of the molecule provides emollience to lubricate the skin and improve overall texture and appearance.
CALENDULA INFUSED SAFFLOWER OIL Locally harvested from Marie Veronique Nadeau’s farm in Northern California this herbaceous plant oil is long known for its soothing properties.
