Ingredients

Vitamin F: Soothing fatty acids (linolenic and linoleic) play a key role in maintaining hydration levels, improving skin texture and suppleness while reducing inflammation and improving acid-mantle strength.

4-Electrolyte Blend: Coconut water, sodium PCA, magnesium PCA, and prickly pear extract are powerful electrolytes valuable for their antioxidant and humectant properties. They are vital to helping maintain hydration levels in skin, improving barrier strength and lipid content, calming redness, and protecting against environmental dehydration.

Niacinamide: Aka vitamin B3, niacinamide has a wide range of benefits, most notably its ability to improve signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness) as well as uneven tone and texture.

5-Ceramide Blend: Ceramides AP, NP, EOP, NS, and EOS are derived from plant sources and are identical to the wax-like moisturizing ceramides that occur naturally in skin. Ceramides help fill in the spaces between skin cells, giving them elasticity, and play a critical role in strengthening the skin barrier by helping to maintain the moisture balance of skin while protecting against water loss. 

Squalane: Derived from olives, squalane is a natural moisturizing factor (NMF), which means it works exactly the same as the form of squalane that is found naturally in skin. Squalane acts as both a moisturizing agent and a natural antioxidant that soothes and prevents water loss from the surface of the skin without a greasy feel.

Quercetin: A potent plant-derived antioxidant bioflavonoid, quercetin acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Some research demonstrates its ability to promote healthy collagen production and speed the healing of damaged skin. Its benefits are amplified when paired with lipids and natural moisturizing factors.
