BAKUCHIOL – A senomorph. Long used in Chinese medicine, studies demonstrate how this retinol alternative returns cell signaling to younger levels to help repair oxidative damage, one of the core hallmarks of aging. Activates collagen and elastin production to delay visible lines and wrinkles without the redness, burning, or flaking of traditional retinoids. Also has anti-inflammatory and free-radical fighting properties. Safe for all skin types, including sensitive.
CARNOSINE – CA senomorph. A dipeptide with antioxidant properties, studies suggest this senolytic works to clear aging cells by activating a signaling pathway that helps maintain the integrity of collagen and elastin fibers, thereby improving the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, and hyperpigmentation. Supports skin structure and integrity to fight sagging and promote firmness.
SPIRULINA MAXIMA EXTRACT – An enzyme. This blue algae extract fights free radical damage caused by UVA and blue light. Paired with photolyase, it repairs UV-induced DNA damage, this duo protects and repairs to prevent genomic instability, the #1 hallmark of aging.
STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS – A postbiotic. This microbe is crucial in stimulating the cell pathway responsible for ceramide production, which naturally decreases as we age, thus restoring barrier integrity and resilience. It also helps promote skin cell proliferation and collagen biosynthesis as it protects against DNA damage and hyaluronic acid depletion.
TETRAHEXYLDECYL ASCORBATE – A senomorph. A stable, non-irritating form of Vitamin C that brightens, boosts collagen, fights oxidative stress, and reduces hyperpigmentation. Bonus: It synergizes beautifully with retinoids.
