Ingredient Breakdown
Aqua (Water)
The primary solvent in the formula, used to dissolve water-soluble ingredients and provide the base for the serum texture.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
The primary active ingredient in this formula, present at a 10% concentration. A well-researched, water-soluble vitamin with multiple proven benefits for the skin, working gradually to even skin tone, help reduce the appearance of dark spots, refine pores, and help maintain a healthy skin barrier, while also contributing to skin hydration.
Glycerin
A humectant that draws moisture into the outer layers of the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.
Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract
A fruit extract from the pineapple containing bromelain, a naturally occurring enzyme with mild exfoliant properties, as well as fruit sugars and amino acids that contribute soothing and conditioning benefits to the formula.
Acacia Senegal (Gum) Gum
A natural polymer harvested from the Acacia tree in sub-Saharan Africa. It acts as a thickening and binding agent in the formula, contributing to the serum’s smooth, even texture.
Xanthan Gum
A natural polysaccharide derived through fermentation that acts as a thickener and emulsion stabiliser, contributing to the serum’s consistent, smooth texture.
Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside
A mild, plant-derived cleansing and solubilising agent derived from natural sugars and coconut. It helps to ensure the formula spreads evenly and feels pleasant on the skin.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil
An essential oil cold-pressed from orange peel that contributes a fresh, natural citrus fragrance to the formula.
Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flower Oil
A sweet, floral essential oil steam-distilled from the flowers of the Cananga tree, native to tropical Asia. It contributes a warm, botanical fragrance to the formula.
Phenoxyethanol
A safe, gentle preservative that has been used in cosmetics since around 1950. It maintains the safety and stability of the formula and is approved for use up to 1% globally.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil
An essential oil derived from the leaves of the rosemary plant. It has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and contributes a fresh, herbal fragrance to the formula.
Ethylhexylglycerin
A skin-conditioning agent that works alongside Phenoxyethanol to maintain the formula’s preservation system, while also contributing a pleasant feel on the skin.
