TFC8®: A complex of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin, which guides key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin cells, creating an optimal environment for the body’s innate processes of repair and renewal.
Babassu Oil: Sustainably sourced, and loaded with lauric acid, this vitamin-rich seed oil boosts skin’s natural defenses against environmental aggressors for a stronger lipid barrier and healthy skin microbiome. Known for centuries for its healing properties.
Argan Oil: Packed with essential fatty acids including linoleic acid (omega-6), and cold-pressed to preserve the optimum nutrient potential. Works to rebuild skin's hydrolipidic film and prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
Hazelnut Oil: Sourced in the Southwest of France, this nourishing extract is naturally high in omega fatty acid content and known to support improved moisture retention and healthier barrier function, and lessen trans epidermal water loss (TEWL).
Karanja Oil: Used since ancient times in Ayurvedic medicine, this flavonoid powerhouse with antimicrobial properties supports the skin’s defense against the damaging effects of environmental aggressors. Also helps prevent signs of premature aging.
Pomegranate Seed Extract: This anti-aging, antioxidant-rich oil optimizes skin's self renewal mechanism, supports improved elasticity and reduces the appearance of wrinkles thanks to more than 60% punicic acid and linolenic acid.
