Emerging ingredients
Bidenspilosa | Chlorophyll | Ashitaba | Hydroxypinacolone retinoate | Naraoil |
A plant-based retinolalternative, bidens pilosa contains phytanic acid, which activates the same receptor in the skin as retinol. Unlike synthetic retinol, however, bidenspilosa is safe for pregnant and breastfeeding people, and can be used day and night without causing redness or peeling – a win for sensitive skin. | A natural compound in all plants, chlorophyll is touted for its ability to clear skin. With high concentrations of vitamins A, C, E and K, it is a powerful antioxidant that can decrease inflammation, support wound recovery and minimise pores. | Japanese ashitaba, also known as tomorrow's leaf, is slowly gaining prominence thanks to its purported anti-ageing benefits. A study in 2019 identified flavonoid DMC in ashitaba, anatural anti-ageing compound. | HPR, or granactive retinoid, is different from traditional retinol in two ways. Firstly, it doesn't convert to retinoic acid when applied to the skin, a process which can cause skin irritation and redness. Secondly, HPR remains stable in the skin for longer than retinol, meaning HPR products are harder working and more efficient. | Extracted from the nara melon, endemic to the Namib Desert, nara oil is a little-known skincare hero chocked full of omega-6 fatty acids and vitamins. Ideal for dry skin, nara oilis highly permeable, penetrating the skin with ease to deliver moisture deep into the hydro lipid layer, offering both repairing and hydrating benefits. |
