Salicylic Acid: Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is commonly used in skincare products to treat acne and other skin conditions. It is derived from willow bark and belongs to a class of ingredients called salicylates. Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble acid that penetrates deep into the pores where it binds to oil and clears congestion. It unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, even sebum production and prevents future break outs. Salicylic Acid has exfoliating, keratolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Salicylic Acid helps to exfoliate the skin by breaking and removing dead skin cells and revealing brighter, smoother skin. Treating skin with Salicylic Acid can help reduce bumpiness, fade dark spots, reduce skin blemishes, dry out oily skin, treat keratosis pilaris, and provide skin-smoothing effects.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 (Neutrazen): Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 (Neutrazen) is a peptide that helps to both prevent and soothe inflammation in irritated skin. It improves the resiliency of sensitive skin and helps reduce redness that can often occur in those with sensitivities. It also helps build a higher sensitivity threshold in sensitive skin and balances stressed skin. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 is known to reduce irritation caused by exposure to UV rays and reduce immune reactions due to internal or external stress. It also controls inflammatory cytokines released in the skin to help reduce swelling, giving a soothing and calming effect on the skin.

Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower Extract: Malva Sylvestris (Mallow) Flower Extract is best known in skincare for its ability to soothe dry, rough skin. The extract has a high content of mucilage which helps skin tissue to retain water and create a protective layer that both hydrates and soothes the skin. When applied on the skin, it induces an exfoliating effect, and the dead skin cells layer easily gets detached because of the astringent action of the tannins. It can exert both the effects soothing and exfoliating at the same time.

Syringa Vulgaris (Lilac Stem Cells): Syringa Vulgaris (Lilac Stem Cells) is a plant stem cell extract that is used in the treatment of commonly seen inflammatory, acneic, aging, and photodamaged skin conditions.
