Our In-house blend of Chia Seeds, Papaya, Glycerin, and Hyaluronic Acid:
Chia Seeds: The high levels of antioxidants in chia seeds help fight free radical damage caused by UV exposure. Soothes redness, inflammation and irritation on the skin, and strengthens the skin barrier. When used in skincare, chia seeds are especially beneficial because of their rich composition of fatty acids. It contains linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) and more than 60 percent alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid), it is one of the highest for any plant source.
Papaya Enzymes: While Chia seeds are high in antioxidants and can hydrate, protect and nourish skin, they lack Vitamin C, and papaya enzymes play a significant role here for providing a powerful source of Vitamin C to the skin. Just like digestive enzymes in your gut, fruit enzymes are able to break down proteins. On the skin, papaya enzymes help with sloughing off rough dull dead skin cells to reveal soft glowing skin underneath.
Glycerin: This can do things you didn’t even know were possible. One of the world’s best behind-the-scenes workers, glycerin does so much it’s hard to believe most of us aren’t so obsessed with it: From providing moisture to keeping skin dewy, glycerin is an amazing multi-tasker. Glycerin is a humectant, it draws water to the surface of the skin both from the deeper layers of skin, and from the atmosphere. This helps to keep our skin feeling hydrated. One of the best things about glycerin is that it brings our skin’s natural moisture to the surface, which helps with reducing the look of all signs of fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid: A natural hydrator known for its incredible moisture-retaining properties. We added hyaluronic to this formulation to help with soft tissue growth. It prompts our body to make more collagen and elastin, and reduces scarring.
