OUR INGREDIENTS
Progeline
Progeline (Glycerin (and) Water (and) Dextran (and) Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2) is a peptide of three amino acids that helps to modulate progerin, a protein that contributes to the appearance of aging. Progeline helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Argireline
Acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) is a peptide that works to suppress the nerve signals that control muscle contraction, without damaging the skin or the muscles underneath. Wrinkles that are typically formed by repetitive movement – such as smiling, frowning, and laughing – are diminished in depth and appearance.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera) has gotten a lot of press for being a “superfood” – and for good reason. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids, making it an excellent skin emollient. In addition to its moisturizing properties, coconut oil has antibacterial benefits.
Ecuadorian Ivory Palm Seed Powder
Phytelephas Aequatorialis (Ecuadorian Ivory Palm) is commonly known as vegetable ivory or tagua. It’s a unique exfoliating ingredient sustainably harvested from the rainforest, and works as a moderately abrasive exfoliant.
The seeds of the Ecuadorian Ivory Palm are carefully ground into micro-beads that are perfect for helping remove dead skin cells.
Kaolin
Kaolin is traditionally used to cleanse and detoxify the skin. Rich in minerals and phyto-nutrients, kaolin helps reduce excess oil and toxins from the skin. It is also believed that kaolin can enhance blood circulation to the skin, which helps with healing and rejuvenation.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) is a vegetable fat from the African Vitellaria paradoxa tree. It’s an emollient with excellent hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties – helping to keep skin moisturized, smooth, and soothed.

Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Ferment Extract
Rich in fruit enzymes, this works as a gentle exfoliant, or enzyme peel. Abundant antioxidants defend against free radical damage. Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Ferment Extract also provides antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Lucuma Powder

DMAE
Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) is a well-known skin firming ingredient that stimulates the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that communicates between nerves and muscles. Boosting acetylcholine production helps improve skin tone. The skin-firming effects of DMAE have been tested and confirmed by measuring skin tensile strength after topical application of DMAE. DMAE also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to guard against free radicals.
Caffeine
Well known for its energy boosting benefits when consumed (in coffee, tea, etc), caffeine can also benefit the skin when used topically. First, it constricts and minimizes blood vessels, which can reduce swelling – making skin less puffy. Second, caffeine acts as a diuretic, which can shrink fat cells, leaving skin looking smoother. Finally, caffeine has antioxidant properties, helping to protect skin cells from free radical damage.
Syn-Coll
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 (Syn-Coll) is a small tripeptide with a unique sequence that imitates the human body’s own mechanism to produce collagen. It also helps prevent the degradation of collagen in the skin. This collagen boost helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
CO-Q10
Co-Q10 Allows your cells to better utilize other nutrients, leading to healthier skin overall. Helps reduce damage of free radicals: Since CoQ10 aids in cell activity, it also means that your cells are more efficient in flushing out toxins like free radicals and healing the damage they cause.
