Jojoba Seed Oil: is composed of almost 98% pure waxes, sterols, vitamins, flavonoids, and phenols. Similar to the esters found in the sebum on our skin, it aids in balancing the oil on our skin. Jojoba oil functions as a deep cleansing agent that clears blocked pores. Its properties, as a liquid wax, allows the dissolution of sebum deposits within hair follicles due to an ability to penetrate the follicles and remove comedones, thus clearing the skin. It provides excellent emollient, antioxidant, anti-acne, anti-psoriasis, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties.

Bamboo Charcoal: excellent absorbency and detoxifying capacity and exfoliating properties.

Niacinamide: Skin Barrier Support: Stimulates ceramide production which helps to retain moisture by preventing trans-epidermal water loss. Oil & Pore Control: Regulates sebum production, which helps minimize the appearance of pores and reduce shine. Anti-inflammatory: Calms redness and irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. Deeper Dive: Niacinamide, a member of the vitamin B3 family, is essential for NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) synthesis and it aids in the energy generation process within mammalian cells. It also displays potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Due to niacinamide’s anti-inflammatory effects, it presents antimicrobial activity, making it effective against bacteria and preventing biofilm formation. It also has the ability to reduce sebum, hyperpigmentation and glycation-related yellowing. Niacinamide aids in the extracellular matrix integrity by preserving collagen and inhibiting matrix-degrading enzymes. It also provides epidermal barrier improvement with the stimulation of ceramide synthesis.

Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Seed Oil: Extracted by cold-pressing the evening primrose seeds and subsequent filtration. Functions as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing agent. It contains palmitic acid (5 5-7%), gamma gamma-linolenic acid ( 9%), stearic ac acid (1 -3%), oleic acid (5 5-10%) and linoleic acid (68 68-76%). Natural remedy for curing and preventing skin imperfections and blemishes. It is used as a protective agent for delicate, red, or superficially damaged skin. Offers wound healing and provides relief from atopic dermatitis, eczema, acne, and psoriasis.

Salicylic Acid is an active substance with antimicrobial, keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties that is used in products to reduce acne and dandruff. It is a liposoluble ingredient that penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve and reduce oil. It unclogs hair follicles and inhibits bacteria, thereby relieving acne. It dissolves aged keratin and reduces pigmentation.

Retinol: improves texture of skin by accelerating the process of keratinization, reduces the appearance of pimples and comedones by increasing cell turnover and decreasing oil. Retinol penetrates into the basal layer of the epidermis (composed of living cells that are producing new cells), and by interacting with receptors inside keratinocytes, promotes their proliferation, strengthens the epidermal protective function, and reduces trans trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).
