Both hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid offer immediate and noticeable skin hydration but polyglutamic acid can further improve dry skin by aiding in the skin’s natural production of NMF. Polyglutamic acid and hyaluronic acid can even be used together or layered for further hydration and skin plumping as neither of these materials has known compatibility issues.
Our Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum is a humectant based serum with the star ingredient polyglutamic acid (PGA). Polyglutamic acid is a non-exfoliating peptide made up of several glutamic acid molecules. PGA is a moisturizing polymer that can be synthesized in the lab or created from the fermentation of natto and similar to hyaluronic acid, the molecular size dictates its function or skin benefit.
Polyglutamic Acid is a non-exfoliating natural moisturizing peptide proven to be a better hydrator than hyaluronic acid and collagen protein as it helps restore skin elasticity, smooth visual wrinkles, and increase production of NMF. This anionic soothing polymer can also help provide skin smoothness and protection against external aggressions.
Osmolytes Blend is a blend of organic compounds that regulate water balance to help provide an immediate moisturizing effect and help support the skin barrier function.
Ectoin is an amino acid derivative that acts as a high-end, clinically proven active ingredient to help protect skin from dehydration and various external stressors such as free radicals, air pollution, and climate concerns and promote skin barrier improvements. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
There are several product combinations that can be used and the list will change as we continue to launch many exciting new products but below are basic routines for those creating a routine based on skin type:
Sun Barrier Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ Mineral Sunscreen contains antioxidants including tetrahydrocucuminoids, standardized molecules from turmeric root, that scavenge free radicals, reduce irritation and increase skin brightness. Pongamia is an extract that helps reduce skin stress following UV exposure and environmental aggressors. We also added bisabolol, calendula, and centella asiatica to reduce the appearance of redness and provide skin relief.
A sunscreen labeled with a broad spectrum claim indicates that it shields the skin from both UVA and UVB radiation, the two primary types of ultraviolet radiation that contribute to skin damage, premature aging, and skin cancer. Sunscreens that do not indicate broad spectrum only protect against UVB radiation and only have an SPF value on the packaging. Broad-spectrum sunscreens have the additional claim “broad spectrum” listed before the SPF value.
