Aaloe juice

Aloe vera is a short-stemmed succulent plant that grows in tropical climates. Juice is extracted from the leaves of the plant, known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Light-textured aloe vera is an excellent moisturising agent that also acts as an effective humectant, thereby increasing the water content of the skin. Due to its high concentration of natural vitamins A, B, C and E, aloe vera provides the skin with powerful antioxidants, protecting it from harmful free radicals.

Caffeine

Caffeine helps to stimulate blood flow, which in turn can help to reduce puffiness and dark under-eye circles and give skin a more vibrant appearance. Caffeine has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce skin inflammation and redness.

Jojoba oil

The structure of jojoba oil is similar to skin oil, making it an excellent moisturizer. It absorbs quickly into the skin, helping to retain moisture and reduce dryness. The oil has antibacterial properties that can help fight bacteria, thereby reducing the appearance of acne. Regular use of jojoba oil can help improve the texture of the skin, making it soft and supple.

Glycerol

Glycerol is a sugar alcohol, a triol that occurs in natural fats and fatty oils as a fatty acid ester (triglyceride). It is a clear, very viscous, odourless liquid that mixes with water and other alcohols. Glycerol is a component of the skin found in the acid layer that protects the skin. Glycerin binds moisture both in the skin and in the product, which is why it is a popular ingredient in cosmetics. Thanks to its good skin tolerance and high efficacy, glycerin is a so-called moisturising component in almost all skin care products. In addition, glycerine is present in shampoos or conditioners as it also acts as a hair moisturiser. All of this means that glycerin is a real superstar and helps to maintain the health of our skin in many ways.

Ginkgo Biloba extract

Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract is derived from the leaves of the Ginkgo Biloba tree (Ginkgoaceae in Latin). Ginkgo Biloba is one of the oldest tree species in the world and has an exceptionally long history in traditional Chinese medicine. The tree is known for its resilience and resistance to different environmental conditions. Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals that can damage skin cells. Ginkgo Biloba extract helps to improve circulation and in turn supports the supply of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells. It helps to maintain the healthy appearance of the skin.

Avocado oil

Avocado oil is derived from the fruit of the avocado (Persea americana), an evergreen tree native to Central and South America. Oil is usually produced by cold-pressing the flesh of the avocado, which allows the nutrients in the oil to be preserved. Avocado oil is rich in a wide range of nutrients, including vitamins A, D and E, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. They help support skin health and well-being. Thanks to its rich antioxidant content, avocado oil helps reduce the signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Compounds found in avocado oil, such as phytosterols and carotenoids, have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated skin and reduce inflammatory conditions. Avocado oil absorbs quickly without leaving the skin greasy. This makes it convenient to use for everyday skin care.

Argan oil

Argan oil comes from the fruit of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), which grows mainly in south-western Morocco. The oil is produced from the almonds of the argan tree and is known for its versatile and beneficial properties. The fruit of the tree has been used for centuries in skin care. Argan oil helps to support the production of collagen in the skin, which in turn helps to maintain skin elasticity and reduce signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. Argan oil has natural anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes argan oil useful for sensitive skin or skin problems, helping to soothe and balance the skin. Argan oil has a non-comedogenic property, which means that it does not clog pores. This property makes it also suitable for oily skin. Argan oil regulates the production of sebum in the skin, helping to balance oily skin and reduce excess oiliness while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance.

Hyaluronic acid

In cosmetics, hyaluronic acid first found its use in skin filling and moisturising. Its molecular structure allows it to bind large amounts of water, making it an ideal ingredient in moisturising creams and serums. Since then, hyaluronic acid has become one of the most widely used and valued ingredients in a range of skincare products. When used in creams, it provides the skin with a deep hydration that helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance and relieve dryness and dehydration. Hyaluronic acid absorbs quickly into the skin, making it an ideal ingredient in light-textured creams. It does not leave a greasy layer on the skin or clog pores.

Betaine

The use of betaine in cosmetics started because of its functional properties in skin care products. Known for its moisturising and soothing properties, it has found its place in a wide range of beauty products, including creams, cleansers and shampoos. Betaine has soothing properties that make it an ideal ingredient in creams for sensitive and irritated skin. It helps to soothe redness and calm irritated skin. Betaine is often combined with other moisturising and skin conditioning ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or natural oils, to increase the overall effectiveness of moisturising creams.
