3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: Water- and oil-soluble ethyl ascorbic acid provides all the benefits of vitamin C in a more stable form. It is an antioxidant, brightens the skin and inhibits tyrosinase, boosts collagen synthesis, increases fibroblast proliferation, supports wound healing, reduces inflammation, helps ‘recycle’ vitamin E, smooths rough texture, decreases photodamage, and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Beta-glucan: Beta-glucan is a hydrating polysaccharide that nourishes Langerhans cells. It is an immune-boosting active chemical extracted from the cell walls of certain yeasts. On its own, beta-glucan is a film-forming humectant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that protects from UV-induced erythema and environmental damage. However, when utilized by the Langerhans cells, beta-glucan reinforces the skin’s immune function and strengthens the defense system and response capabilities. It also aids wound healing, repairs signs of extrinsic aging, hydrates, maintains cell health, and restores barrier function.

Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5): A humectant and emulsifier that balances oil production and inhibits the proliferation of skin microbes. Panthenol aids in tissue repair, collagen production, barrier function, and the synthesis and metabolism of lipids. It is converted to pantothenic acid, which is naturally found in skin and hair, and required for normal epithelial function.

Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2: A peptide involved in regulating mechanisms of aging. TT2 inhibits matrix metalloproteinases, reduces wrinkles, increases skin firmness and elasticity, and helps preserve the extracellular matrix. It also improves cell communication, cell growth, and overall skin structure.
