VITAMIN E and B3
At once unique and multiple. Because vitamin E is more than a single vitamin: it’s a group of eight compounds, of which only α-tocopherol occurs naturally in the skin. Cosmetics often use tocopheryl acetate, which is the more stable form of vitamin E better able to withstand heat, light and air exposure.
Daily environmental urban aggressors, like the sun and air pollution, break down the skin’s fatty substances and deteriorate skin quality. This combative antioxidant neutralises free radicals, such as urban aggressors, empowering your skin to take on the day.
Not only does it play a key role in strengthening the skin’s barrier and combating signs of premature ageing, but vitamin E is also often used to protect the skincare formula itself against oxidation for maximum efficiency.
Vitamin E keeps the skin hydrated, supple and comfortable, while fighting the harmful effects of urban aggressors to slow down signs of skin ageing.
A wonder vitamin that occurs naturally in food, niacinamide is a real go-getter. This multipurpose form of vitamin B3 contributes to more than 200 enzymatic reactions in the body. ATP (cellular energy) production and DNA repair stand out among the show-off nutrient’s many credentials.
Niacinamide is applied topically as an anti-inflammatory to reduce red facial skin lesions and imperfections. It prevents the release of inflammatory mediators – messengers that promote an inflammatory response – thereby significantly limiting redness and irritation. The skin is soothed and the upper layers are kept hydrated.
Niacinamide also stimulates skin cells to produce natural oil, which is key to a healthy skin. That means formulas containing this ingredient will boost the skin’s protective barrier function.
Pollution, UV rays, electronic device radiation, fatigue and daily stress wreak havoc on the skin every day. Niacinamide acts as a powerful shield against these aggressors, helping to create a protective skin barrier and to restore skin disorders.
