Active Ingredients

• Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil) – The high fatty acid content makes the skin soft, smooth, and resilient. The oil has antibacterial properties, absorbs quickly, and contains vitamins B, E, minerals, and beta-carotene (provitamin A). It strengthens cell development and renewal, fights skin aging, and reinforces the skin’s natural protective barrier.
• Alpha Arbutin (Alpha-Arbutin) is an active ingredient for brightening pigmentation spots, derived from bearberry (Arctostaphylos). It specifically inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin production, and can significantly improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Compared to other brightening agents like kojic acid, Alpha Arbutin is considered much milder and less irritating.
• Murumuru Butter (Astrocaryum murumuru seed butter) is extracted from the seeds of the murumuru palm. Used for centuries by indigenous people in the Amazon, the butter provides intense moisture and soothes dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. With an effective composition of essential fatty acids and provitamin A, murumuru helps restore elasticity to mature and damaged skin. The butter also has strong antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, penetrates quickly, and leaves a smooth, velvety-soft skin feel.
• Bidens Pilosa, also known as Spanish Needle, offers a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol in skincare by promoting cell regeneration, refining skin texture, and reducing fine lines without irritating side effects. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it protects the skin from free radicals, soothes irritated skin, and supports collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother complexion.
• Flaxseed Oil / Extract (Linum Usitatissimum (Flax) Seed Extract/Oil) – The high omega-3 content of the oil has anti-inflammatory effects and can suppress breakouts and calm irritated, dry skin. The oil binds moisture and keeps the skin hydrated and healthy, which can improve skin firmness. It is also credited with cell-regenerating properties. In hair care, flaxseed nourishes hair follicles and promotes hair growth and elasticity. It combats dry and flaky scalp.
• Juniper Stem Cells (Juniperus Communis (Juniper) Callus Culture Extract) is a plant-based active ingredient derived from juniper cell culture. This extract is rich in secondary plant compounds with antioxidant effects and is especially valued in skincare for its cell-protective, regenerating, and balancing properties. Juniper stem cells can help improve skin balance, reduce oxidative stress, and protect the skin from environmental damage.
