An unsung hero for a healthy skin barrier. Phytospingosine strengthens the outermost layer of the skin and is very well tolerated and has a wide range of applications. The outermost layer of our skin is responsible for not only keeping moisture from getting out, but also irritants and toxins from getting in. Thus when the barrier is compromised or weakened, unwanted factors can get in, resulting in all kinds of issues from redness to rashes. As well for acne vulgaris different pathogenic factors contribute to the inflammation process. Studies confirmed the strong anti microbial and anti inflammatory activity and the efficassy of phytospingosine adressing acne vulgaris. It strengthens the skin barrier so moisture is kept in and irritants are not let in. It triggers the production of natural moisturizing factors and delivers anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
Phytospingosine is COSMOS registered and is used at levels from 0.1 to 1%
γ-PGA is long-lasting moisturazing and endogenous hydrating. PGA Na is a natural, multi-functional and biodegradable biopolymer produced from L-glutamic acid through a fermentation process with a Bacillus subtilis. It is a water-soluble homo-polyamide consisting of D-glutamic acid and L-glutamic acid monomers connected by amide linkages between α-amino and γ-carboxyl groups.
Polyglutamic acid itself is difficult to be water soluble, and the PGA used in cosmetics in general is sodium ionized PGA, which has excellent water soubiity after sodium ionization, therefore, there is a direct label on the market with the name polyglutamic acid sodium (CAS 28829-38-1)
Resveratrol is a potentially known antioxidant with great anti-aging properties. As an antioxidant, Resveratrol helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. This oxidative stress can contribute to premature aging, including the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. By neutralizing free radicals, Resveratrol supports the skin's defense against environmental and external damage. Its ability to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, may contribute to its skin-brightening effects. This can help address hyperpigmentation and promote a more even skin tone.
Retinaldehyde (Retinal) is the most powerful Vitamin A derivative which is only one step away from retinoic acid.

Retinoic Acid is the active form of Vitamin A, it directly binds to retinoid receptors in the skin cells and initiates biological responses. It exhibits numerous anti-aging effects with highly effectiveness. By promoting collagen production, it effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while also enhancing skin elasticity. Furthermore, its ability to stimulate the production of new healthy skin cells, leads to a smoother skin tone and texture, providing additional benefits in addressing hyperpigmentation.
Retinol is a precursor to retinoic acid and is a less active form of vitamin A. It is considered less potent than retinal as it requires conversion to retinal within the skin, and this conversion process limits its potency. Consequently, it tends to be milder and less irritating than retinal. It also offers exceptional anti-aging benefits reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone, Retinol serves a crucial role in stimulating collagen production, thereby improving skin firmness and restoring elasticity. Its proactive integration with the skin's renewal process not only diminishes age spots but also refines overall texture, contributing to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
