Hydrasmooth Night Cream Sample

Extracted from the seeds of an American shrub, Simmondsia Chinensis is unique for its high composition of liquid wax esters, unlike other plant-derived oils rich in triglycerides. This makes it highly stable and heat-tolerant, as well as bio-compatible with human sebum. Anti-inflammatory, non-comedogenic, and highly moisturizing, it’s ideal for all skin types, especially dry, mature skin.

Derived from African Shea Tree kernels, Butyrosperumum Parkii has a history of anti-inflammatory and analgesic uses, supported by modern research. Rich in triterpenes, it enhances tissue repair and wound healing. Shea Butter also improves atopic dermatitis and minimizes keloid scar growth. Its buttery texture, high in stearic and oleic acids, makes it ideal for rich creams.

A by-product of the wine industry, Vitis Vinifera is a light moisturizer ideal for sun-damaged or stressed skin. High in antioxidants, including vitamins E and C, and potent polyphenols, it helps retain the normal structure of epithelial cells, protecting against premature aging and reducing stretch marks.

An astringent and tonic herb, Acmella Oleracea has been used traditionally for its analgesic constituent, spilanthol, to relieve toothache. In skincare, it offers myorelaxant properties, reducing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles. A recent study showed significant wrinkle reduction, making it a natural alternative to Botox for smoother, younger-looking skin.

Geranylgeranone (GGA) (see Teprenone on INCI list) is a terpenoid found in plants and essential oils like rose, and lemongrass. It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, and reduces markers of cellular senescence by stabilizing the telomeres and maintaining DNA integrity. It improves tissue quality, cell communication and metabolism, slowing all signs of ageing and enhancing skin health and appearance.

A triglyceride is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. It is one of the main constituents of body fat in humans. In our cosmetics we use vegetable Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, derived from coconut oil. It is a skin-compatible emollient and humectant that attracts and holds moisture with good lubricating and spreading properties.
