Zinc oxide works to both complement titanium dioxide’s protection and extends photoprotection to the skin where titanium dioxide is insufficient. Zinc Oxide has been known and used topically for centuries as a skin protectant and wound healing adjuvant and is a recognized mild antimicrobial agent. It also reflects much of the skin-damaging infrared waves, keeping the skin cooler, reducing heat damage and its subsequent photoaging.   TITANIUM DIXOIDE Titanium dioxide is a natural, physical, inorganic mineral that provides broad-spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays. The purpose of large particle titanium is to give opacity to the products containing it and to lighten (or whiten) their color. Opaque titanium dioxide highly reflects and strongly scatters all UV and visible rays. It also reflects much of the skin-damaging infrared waves, keeping the skin cooler, reducing heat damage and its subsequent photoaging.   SQUALANE Used in the synthesis of natural skin sterols essential for maintaining skin barrier function, Squalane, derived from olives, is a biological component of human sebum and is therefore very skin-friendly. It is an excellent moisturizer that does not leave a heavy, greasy residue on the skin.   PETROLATUM A rich emollient that helps heal the skin’s outer layer and reduces inflammation.   TETRAHEXYLDECYL ASCORBATE / ESTER OF VITAMIN C (VITAMIN C) An antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Lightens skin by inhibiting melanin synthesis. A necessary co-factor for healthy collagen synthesis; inhibits MMP enzymes. THD Ascorbate is an extremely stable and bio-available form of vitamin C which helps brighten skin and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.   FERULIC ACID (FERULOYL SOY GLYCERIDES) This potent antioxidant, found in plants, increases the stability of vitamin C and E as well as adding photo-protection. This ingredient also provides additional protection against thymine dimer formation.   ALLANTOIN A substance known for its healing, soothing, and anti-irritating properties. This ingredient softens skin and stimulates the formation of healthy tissue. Helps eliminate chapping and cracking, leaving skin silky, smooth, and healthy-looking.   KINETIN Kinetin is a plant-based hormone that regulates growth and differentiation. In human skin, kinetin acts as a basic building block and helps maintain the function and strength of the skin barrier. When used topically, this potent antioxidant has been shown to increase skin moisture and reduce TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss), thereby improving signs of aging and skin texture.   SQUALANE Used in the synthesis of natural skin sterols essential for maintaining skin barrier function, Squalane, derived from olives, is a biological component of human sebum and is therefore very skin-friendly. It is an excellent moisturizer that does not leave a heavy, greasy residue on the skin.   BISABOLOL Found as a natural component of chamomile, Bisabolol is an effective anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory ingredient, helpful in soothing red, irritated skin.   RAPESEED (BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS STEROLS) (CHOLESTEROL) An emollient which makes skin smooth and soft. One of three ingredients that comprise the skin’s natural lipid barrier.   PALMITOYL TETRAPEPTIDE-7 Reduces inflammatory cytokines, known as interleukins. By reducing inflammation, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 may potentially reduce the cumulative amount of damage that occurs following exposure to UV light, pollution, internal stress, and other pro-inflammatory factors. Cells exposed to UV radiation and then treated with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 saw an 86% reduction of interleukin production.   HYALURONIC ACID (SODIUM HYALURONATE) A hydrophilic molecule, Hyaluronic acid attracts and binds up to 1,000 times its molecular weight in water, reduces TEWL (trans-epidermal water loss), and helps to keep skin plump and firm. Sodium Hyaluronate is a glycosaminoglycan found in the extracellular space that resists compression by absorbing significant amounts of water.   OLEYL LACTATE (ESTER OF LACTIC ACID) A naturally-occurring alpha-hydroxy acid derived from fermented milk, lactic acid helps speed up cellular turnover, exfoliates dead skin cells, and is gentle enough for people with sensitive skin or rosacea. Since lactic acid is part of our natural moisturizing factor, it is especially compatible with human skin.   HYDROXYPINACALONE RETINOATE / ESTER OF TRETINOIN (VITAMIN A) This ester of Retinoic acid (Tretinoin) is more effective and less irritating than traditional esters. A co-factor of collagen synthesis and a powerful antioxidant, this ingredient helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.   GINGER ROOT EXTRACT Ginger root, rich in antioxidants, can increase skin radiance and decrease inflammation.
