Facial Moisturizer

Our ingredients used can provide multiple benefits for maturing skin, helping to address common concerns such as dryness, loss of elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Here's how each ingredient contributes:

1. Citrus sinensis (Orange) Distillate

• Orange distillate is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help brighten the skin and combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It also has gentle astringent properties, which can help tone and firm the skin, making it beneficial for maturing skin that needs a refreshing boost.

2. Prunus domestica (Plum) Oil

• Plum oil is high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, including vitamins A and E, which promote hydration and support the skin’s natural barrier. These properties help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin elasticity and radiance, making it ideal for mature, dry, or stressed skin.

3. Cetearyl Alcohol

• This is a fatty alcohol that acts as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It also forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss, which is crucial for maturing skin that tends to be drier and more prone to dehydration.

4. Polysorbate 60

• A mild emulsifier that helps combine oil and water-based ingredients. While it doesn't directly impact aging skin, it ensures the product’s consistency, which helps the beneficial ingredients penetrate the skin more effectively.

5. Stearic Acid

• Stearic acid acts as an emollient, providing a protective layer on the skin’s surface. This barrier helps retain moisture and keep the skin soft, a key factor in maintaining the suppleness and resilience of aging skin.

6. Hydroxypropyl Bis-Hydroxyethyldimonium Chloride

• A conditioning agent often found in skincare and hair care products. It can help improve the feel and texture of the skin, making it smoother and more hydrated, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines.

7. Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Propylene Glycol, and Lactic Acid

• This combination serves multiple functions:
  • Cetearyl Alcohol: Provides emollient and moisturizing properties, keeping the skin soft.
  • Stearalkonium Chloride: Helps with conditioning, giving a smoother texture to the skin.
  • Propylene Glycol: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, preventing dryness.
  • Lactic Acid: A gentle exfoliant (AHA) that helps remove dead skin cells, promoting skin renewal and improving texture, tone, and hydration in mature skin.

8. Phenoxyethanol and Ethylhexylglycerin

• These are preservatives that also have moisturizing and conditioning benefits, helping to keep the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.

9. Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Sweet Orange)

• Like the orange distillate, sweet orange is rich in vitamin C, which supports collagen production, helping to keep skin firm and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It also has antioxidant properties, which protect the skin from environmental damage and premature aging.

10. Citric Acid

• Citric acid, an AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid), provides gentle exfoliation to improve skin texture and promote the removal of dead skin cells. This helps to brighten dull skin and reduce fine lines and pigmentation, common concerns in maturing skin.

11. L-Arginine

• L-Arginine is an amino acid that can help stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It also promotes skin repair, which is beneficial for mature skin that tends to be thinner and more delicate.

Overall Benefits for Maturing Skin:

• Hydration and Moisture Retention: Ingredients like Cetearyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, and Plum Oil help lock in moisture, which is critical for aging skin that tends to become dry and dehydrated.
• Improved Elasticity and Firmness: Ingredients like L-Arginine, Plum Oil, and vitamin C from orange distillate boost collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce sagging.
• Exfoliation and Skin Renewal: Lactic acid and citric acid gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a fresher, more youthful complexion.
• Antioxidant Protection: Plum oil, orange distillate, and sweet orange oil provide antioxidant protection to fight free radicals, which contribute to skin aging.

These ingredients collectively work to hydrate, firm, brighten, and protect the skin, addressing multiple concerns that come with maturing skin.
