Key Ingredients and Their Benefits
Heartleaf Elixir (Houttuynia Cordata Extract)
Houttuynia cordata is a flowering plant native to Southeast Asia with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine. Its main active components are flavonoids, such as quercetin, quercitrin, hyperoside, and rutin. These exhibit anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Quercitrin has also been shown to decrease damage from UVB rays. The extract contains polysaccharides, including galacturonic acid, galactose, rhamnose, arabinose, glucuronic acid, glucose, xylose, and mannose.
Centella Asiatica Extract (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid)
Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola, is a medicinal plant known for its regenerative properties. Its key active components, including Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, and Asiatic Acid, contribute to its well-established wound healing and antioxidant activities. In-vitro studies suggest that Asiaticoside stimulates the production of GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) and collagen I synthesis. Madecassoside is also recognized for its soothing, moisturizing, anti-aging, restructuring, and skin-feel enhancing properties.
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3, niacinamide is a highly versatile ingredient in skincare. It acts as a skin brightener, helps to improve the skin's barrier function, reduces inflammation, and can minimize the appearance of pores. It is a multi-functional helper ingredient that can do several things in a skincare product, including acting as a humectant and emollient, a solvent, and helping to stabilize perfumes and disperse pigments.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it draws water from the air into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and supple. It is a multi-tasking ingredient that provides a soft and pleasant feel to the formula, acts as a humectant and emollient, serves as a solvent for other ingredients, and helps stabilize perfumes and disperse pigments in makeup.
Panthenol
Panthenol, also known as pro-vitamin B5, is a humectant that moisturizes the skin by attracting and retaining water. It also possesses anti-inflammatory and skin-protecting abilities, helping to reduce irritation and support the skin's barrier function. Its hydrating effects are beneficial for both skin and hair care.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a soothing ingredient that helps to calm the skin and promote healing. It is known for its ability to make the product stay the same over time without color changes. Manufacturer claims suggest it has soothing, moisturizing, anti-aging, restructuring, and pleasing tactile properties.
