---

Triple C

Triple C is a combination of three bio-available Cs:

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate

Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is fat-soluble Vitamin C. Its’ fatty acid component penetrates the skin easily.  It pairs well with other vitamin C forms for enhanced effectiveness.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

A Vitamin C for sensitive skin, it is a water-soluble Vitamin C derivative. Stable in formulations.  Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less exfoliating than other Cs but still produces collagen and suppresses melanin formation.

Ascorbyl Glucoside

A stable C derivative that easily penetrates the skin. Research shows once it penetrates the skin it behaves like pure vitamin C offering antioxidant protection, collagen boosting, and fading hyperpigmentation.[1]

Reishi

Reishi is a kidney-shaped mushroom used for centuries in traditional medicinal practice. It is known as “mushroom of immortality”.

Reishi contains polysaccharides. These are responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water.

Reishi also promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.

Cloudberry

Cloudberries are a rare nordic berry rich in Polyphenol extracts, Omegas 3 and 6, and Vitamin E and C. [2] Cloudberry has four times the Vitamin C of an orange.

It builds collagen, fights off attacks on collagen, reduces wrinkles and hydrates. It is well suited for sensitive skin or even skin conditions like eczema.

 

Turmeric extract

An anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant that helps reduce and heal acne. It also reduces skin discoloration.

 

Chaga

Chaga mushroom is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. It is a natural adaptogen traditionally used in folk and medicine. It provides environmental and stress-protection to the skin, including oxidative stress. [3] It is packed with dismutase and zinc.  Zinc eases acne and reduces inflammation and irritation. [4]

Ceramides

Ceramides are fatty acids that help to hold cells together and protect the epidermis. Natural ceramides deplete with age or due to excessive stripping of the natural skin oils. They make the skin smoother.

This formula uses Ceramide-3, an excellent moisturizing ingredient. Ceramide-3 keeps skin hydrated without being greasy.

 

Calendula Officinalis flower Extract

Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin. Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer, plumping the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging disappear temporarily. It also drives active ingredients to deep skin layers for better results.

Shea Butter

Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars.  Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.

 

Vitamin E

Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.

Blackcurrant oil

Blackcurrant oil is high in GLA and reduces inflammation.

Squalene

Vegan squalene comes from olives. Squalene mimics the skin’s natural sebum and makes the skin barrier extra smooth and soft. Suitable for even highly sensitive or irritated skin. Helpful for acne.

Sodium PCA

A natural amino acid derivative found in our skin. It binds moisture to cells, thereby extendedly holding moisture in the skin. A humectant.

Cetearyl alcohol

Cetearyl alcohol is one of the “good” alcohols that soften, soothe and heal dry skin. An emollient.
