Main ingredients

Retinyl palmitate

Retinyl palmitate is a derivative of vitamin A. As part of the retinoid family, retinyl palmitate helps accelerate cell turnover and improve collagen production, resulting in radiant and smooth skin. It also targets pigmentation and dark spots to promote even skin tone. As one of the gentlest forms of vitamin A, retinyl palmitate is suitable for most skin types.

Squalane

Squalane is a hydrogenated version of squalene, a compound naturally produced by our sebaceous glands. Squalane moisturizes and helps keep the skin's outer barrier intact by forming a protective layer. This promotes skin luminosity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Squalane also possesses natural antioxidant properties that help protect the skin and prevent free radical damage.
