These include hydration, anti-aging, soothing the skin, giving it a dewy plumped look. As an osmolyte (balances water to cells by osmosis), betaine's (TMG) structure enables it to attract moisture and help maintain cell water balance. Research has found that betide can also improve tight junction integrity - these are protein bonds that prevent leakage of solutes and water between cells, thus preventing water loss through the skin. This helps with anti-aging, works as an anti-irritant, and is a skin texture enhancer.

We use just enough to allow some sunlight to penetrate our skin for a Vitamin D boost.

UBIQUINONE (CoQ10): coenzyme Q10 - is naturally occurring in the body as well as in plants. At the cellular level, it functions as a mobile component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (transports energy ATP and for cellular respiration/breathing), and, it has been shown to be a membrane antioxidant. As we age, CoQ10 diminishes which affects the aging process. It can protect the skin cell layers from UV radiation, improve collagen and elastin production.

VEGETABLE GLYCERIN: Also known as a glycerol, it is a natural compound derived from vegetable oils. Glycerin is a humectant, a type of moisturizing agent that pulls water into the outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum) from deeper levels of the skin and the air. Besides hydrating the outer skin layer, improving the skin barrier and protecting against skin irritants, glycerin is used as a thickener for lotions and serums, but also shampoos, conditions and foods.

VITAMINS - A: Retinol Palmitate, is a form a Vitamin A that is an ester of retinol (vitamin A) and palmitic acid. It is used to improve skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and treat acne. It rejuvenates the skin. Unlike some forms of Vitamin A, palmitate is a retinoid (retinol) and is bioavailable, meaning it is easily absorbed into the skin and used efficiently. It's stability is superior to retinol; helps exfoliate the skin, remove dirt and dead skin cells from pores preventing pimples. It penetrates deeply to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reducing the appearance of pore and acne scarring. It also promotes new blood vessels and makes the skin soft and plump. B12: When combined with avocado oil, it works to relieve the itchy, dryness of psoriasis and eczema. B12 has rejuvenating qualities for hydrating dry skin tissue, stimulating growth of new skin cells and preventing wrinkles caused by aging. It also stimulates the growth of new blood cells.

It has high levels of caffeine, which have vasoconstriction and circulation boosting properties. This is good for people with bags under their eyes, swelling or puffiness. Studies have shown that caffeine does in fact reduce dark circles and wrinkles while boosting elasticity. It is a rich source of Vitamin B3 (niacin), chlorogenic acid (can reduce hyperpigmentation & inflammation). It protects the skin from bacterial growth and from harmful sun damage.

ZINC OXIDE: A natural non-nano earth mineral (non-nano means it hasn't been refined to make smaller molecules to penetrate the skin's surface). This mineral is mined from the ground and naturally reflects the sunlight due to its molecular size and color (white). We use the non-nano so it can create a barrier on the skin for protection and increase the SPF value of our moisturizers. It still allows the sun to penetrate just enough to activate the Vitamin D below the skin's surface. Our skin cells need zinc for its anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, healing, and antibacterial properties.
